Chapter 5 Just as we rounded the corner we all knew we were in the right place. There was a huge tree with a big, black nest that sounded like a radio that won’t work!!
Bzzzzzzz! Bzzzzzzzz!! Again, we had to plan behind something, like a bush. We all hurried to the bush, not wanting to be spotted by the wasps. “What should we do?” asked Jace assuming that I had all the answers. “I don’t know.” “Wait! What if we make the wasps chase after Jace and then Katelyn can get the goo!”said Liam a little too excited to leave this place. “Great! And so no one gets hurt or stung I can make it rain beekeeper suits!” I started to think of the suits and then Jace complained about his part in the plan. “Why do the killer wasps have to chase me?” “Because, you are the bravest! Besides, it doesn’t even matter because you’ll have this suit on!”said Liam holding up the first suit that had fallen. “Okay, fine.”Jace grumbled as he reached for the suit and started to put it on. Then, me and Liam put on our suits on and discussed the plan one more time. Jace found and picked up a stick to poke the hive with. |
“Let’s roll!”said Jace more excited about the plan.
I dug through the bag and finally found the glass vial that Roy gave us to hold the goo and grasped it tightly in my hand. Then Jace poked the hive and started to run away! Our plan was in action! When the wasps were after Jace, I snuck over to the hive and peeked in. I didn’t see any wasps, so I opened the vial and scooped up some of the goo. It was slimy and very sticky but I managed to fill the vial up all the way! I quickly ran away to back behind the rock. Then, I showed the vial to Liam and he got a good look at it. “It looks like honey from back home just...well ...green!” “Should we tell Jace that we can leave now?”I asked Liam staring at Jace. He looked really scared! “Nah, this is really funny!” “Well too bad! Jace! We’re done now! You can come back over here!”I yelled at him as he did his final lap around the nearby hill full of weeds and poison ivy! When he ran over to our rock the wasps followed until we were a safe-ish distance away from the hive. So now we are going back to the castle to find Roy and go home!! |
