Sand spider

Rachel was going to go out of her mind.Five hours without saying a word was not natural. They still had another 3 hours to go before they would stop. How can anyone expect a person to hold their bladder for that long.

Rachel really really needed to pee.She was starting to see yellow. Maybe drinking that big bottle of water wasn't such a great idea after all. It was to hot. Rachel had always pride of herself on being hydrated it was very important to keep your hair and skin healthy that way.

Whe liked have a bladder infection.

Rachel was surely tempted to ask the wagon if they could pull over. Rachel knew the answer to this question before she even asked it no!

The commander Rachel her thought her name was Park and some kind of City. Would not allow them to stop for any reason (her exact words in fact ) "We will not stop for any reason."

This morning when they were all gathered in the meeting hall right after breakfast .The commander (whatever her name was) Started yelling at the top of her lungs for them to listen.

"You lot listen well we will not be stopping so I suggest all of you use the facilities here. You should refrain from intaking any more liquids we have an 8 Hour track before us We will not be stopping for any breaks ,all food even water will be tightly sealed in containers.

There will be 12 to a wagon. Four wagons that will transport all of you to the fort cight Forest Edge."

Rachel could swear that she can see the hatred in the Commander's eyes. Growing up having money and then later being known as Richard's little sister with all his billions of dollars, Rachel know first hand what it was like to be looked down upon by other people thinking that she was simply a rich spoiled brat.

Having people hate her because they thought she had more than she deserved. Rachel knew that this Commander hated them all and she didn't try to hide the fact either.

Loathing radiate off of this sss of a woman. And of course Rachel being Rachel had to make things worse by opening her mouth.

"What if we get car sick along the way?

And need to vomit, excuse me sorry I mean wagon sick. Will you stop then or should we just vomit in the wagon? Causing everyone else could become sick.Then they to start to vomit in the wagon. Couldn't we stop . You know to clean up all the vomit."

Rachel said in a very straight serious voice which earned her snickers from some of the girls around her ,but the commanders pink eyes turn to Rachel and in a very deadly serious voice(that problem made a lot of weman cry. Okay a lot of men too.)the Commander said.

"Youwill not vomit in my wagons and no we will not stop. For if you become wagon sick.You would learn to control your stomachs I am a warrior. Look around this room at the other 10 Warriors that will be accompanying you."

"We are here to protect you from deadly predators who wish to Feast upon your flesh and chew upon your bones when they are done with your flesh. We are to keep you safe. Not to cuddle you and hold your hands or to treat you like Precious glass."

Said the commander in a tone too harsh for Rachel's liking. So of course Rachel had to pipe in with.

"you're not going to hold her hands even a little bit? What if we get scared."

The commander raised her voice a little louder (which was a surprised that she could get any louder)

"You will be quiet now you will also be quite along the journey in the desert. There are predators that will hunt off of sounds.So if you have anything else to say.Say it to each other before we load up into the wagons, because after we're in the wagons you will be quiet and I do not want to hear another word from you."

That's the commander pointed her finger at Rachel an added this.

"It's s a long journey do not make it any longer for us by being an annoying pest."

Just great she's made a new best friend without even trying. So here she sitting. Suffering in silence, truly afraid that she was going to pee her pants (she hadn't done that since kindergarten )when the wagon came to a halt .

Hey I thought they weren't going to stop for another 3 hours a time really gone by that fast or they already at the forest. Rachel had thought to herself. Being close to the soldier that was driving.she pulled back the canvas picking her head out and asking

" Are we already there because I really need to because little girls room if we're stopping."

Rachel had realized her mistake as soon as she turned her eyes to the Commander.Something was wrong and Rachel probably made it worse That's when Rachel heard it.

The sound a clicking sound the closest thing is she can think of with someone snapping their fingers but that would have to be a lot of somebody to make this much noise. Rachel saw the commander raise her arm and make a circle in the air.

Without any further to do all the wagons started to make a circling. like in the old westerns her dad used to watch about pioneers going out west.Their drivers quickly jumped down unhooking the two horses pulling the wagons. Placing them in the middle, the other Warriors that were riding horseback rode their horses into the into the Inner Circle dismounted and headed back out making a spread out circle around the wagons.

Rachel have wanted to ask what they were doing but she knew that she was already in trouble Plus the clicking sound was getting closer. Rachel looked further out into the desert and she could sworn that the sand was moving.Whatever in the world is going on she thought as this little ice chills went up her spine freezing her with fear.

She wanted to put her head back into the wagon but her curiosity was winning.

Something was under the sand coming towards them Rachel turned and looked at the other Warriors as they waited with their short Spears standing looking straight out at the sands none of them looked afraid which was kind of impressive .

Wow they're true badass Amazons aren't they. Right before Philip could pulled her back to her seat Rachel finally got to see what was making all that clicking and what was happening under the the sands Giant spider( hello arachnophobia )was the best to she could describe it Jump from the sand launching itself at one of the Warriors. The Warrior calmly raised her left arm catching the spider. Letting it clamp onto them. Then the Warriors would raise their Spears using it to slice down the spider's body.

Dropping their arm throwing the spiders two halves down to the ground before raising their arms back up catching another spider on their arms and doing the same. Oh my God these women were insane how can anyone calmly just stand there letting those things bite into their arms.

" I think I've came to the wrong place I want to go home right this minute." Rachel thought to herself before the flaps closed.
