"Why did you drag me here again?" Kayla asked as she hopped over another log.

"That's a stupid question to ask don't you think? Besides you need the exercise." Sarah grinned at Kayla before running towards a moldy looking bridge ahead of them.

"That's not fair! And you take back what you said! I exercise all the time!" She took off, chasing after Sarah. She finally caught up and both girls came to a stop just short of the entrance to the bridge. "You've got to be kidding me! We are not going to actually cross this thing, are we Sarah?" Kayla asked as she glanced down over the edge of the cliff to the raging river below.

"Actually, yes we are going to cross this "thing" as you so well put it." Sarah glanced over at her best friend of 10 years. She gently placed her hand on Kayla's shoulder. "Don't worry Kay. I've crossed this bridge a million times. Nothing is going to happen. Its safe, trust me on this one." Kayla glanced at Sarah nervously. She couldn't get this feeling out of her mind that something was going to happen, but as she took a side glance at her friend she blew it off.

"Fine I will cross it just for you." Sarah smiled and took a step forward towards the bridge, but only to be stopped by Kayla grabbing her sleeve.

"Will you let go and come on already?" Kayla took a deep breath and followed her friend to start their journey across the bridge, unaware of the dangers that lay ahead of them. They started out at a slow pace. Sarah started humming to herself as she bobbed her head up and down in time with the beat. Meanwhile, Kayla had a serious death grip on the rope lining the bridge. Sarah turned her head and looked at Kayla and smiled. Kayla glared at her.

"What?" Sarah laughed.

"Nothing, but you do realize that if you keep a hold on the rope like that you won't have any hands left. Now don't grip the rope so hard, you're fine and besides," Sarah looked in front of her and then back at Kayla. "We are halfway across already." Kayla continued to glare at Sarah, but followed anyway. As Sarah went to step over a hole where a plank used to be, something snapped.

"What was that?" Kayla hollered. Sarah looked over at Kayla and shrugged.

"It was probably a branch snapping from an animal." Sarah replied.

"That was no branch, that sounded like a piece of…" Kayla was cut off by another snapping sound. The bridge started to sway. "Let's get out of here!" Kayla tried to pass Sarah but the bridge was swaying to much and she slammed into the rope lining it. It snapped and Kayla lost her balance. "SARAH!" Sarah turned at her name being called. Her eyes widened and she reached out to grab Kayla. She grabbed her hand but Kayla started falling over the side of the bridge. Sarah tried to grab her sleeve, but missed.

"Hang on Kayla!" Sarah shouted.

"Please help me Sarah! I'll never be mean to you ever again. Just please don't let me die!" She started crying and Sarah tried to keep a strong hold on Kayla, but Kayla's weight was too much and both girls went over the side of the bridge. They held on to each other as they plunged into the fierce frigid waters of the raging river.
