The Incident

She heard something, must have been a small cry. But she didn’t understand it, curious she started slowly walking possibly closer but still not sure.[[Follow the voice]] [[Keep walking and thinking in your thoughts]]

She hears it again now sure she knows she is going the right way and that’s when she heard it again but this time she heard the word and she knew exactly what it said this time it was a faint, and helpless voice ”help.’’ She knows she can NOT cross the border of the ant colony, but she also knew she had one of the kindest and pure hearts in the whole colony. She was determined but didn’t know if she should go or not but now her brain and her heart are working together and pulling her to the sound of the powerless cry. [[paragraph 3]]

She finally came to her senses and decided it was not her problem to mess with others. So she walked right back into her colony but in a way she was regretting it she didn’t know why but she didn’t feel like she was doing the right thing. She tried brushing the thoughts off not realizing where she was going she was so caught up in her thoughts thinking she didn’t know who she was lately and that she had been acting so weird and different from everyone else. [[p3]]

By the time she had realized where she was going she felt she was stuck she looked around and screamed at the top of her lungs, she was in a spider-web! She struggled to try to get herself out. She couldn’t move she felt so defenseless and weak there. Then she looked up to see a black spider with three eyes, eight enormous legs, and the most greedy dark eyes. She shivered thinking it would be the end but then he grabbed her tried rolling her up as she yelled, “please don’t eat me please!” He squeezed her tight and threw her on the ground. She got up as fast as she could thanking the spider as she ran as fast as she could relieved and shocked at what had happened at the same time. [[p4]]

The next second she finds herself running as fast as her legs could take her, on the tall, and moist grass, while she feels every little splat of water on her legs.The grass felt like it was never going to end. The summer breeze brushing against her face, the smell of dirt and nature. She hears the sound of birds chirping cheerfully. She takes a leap, now hearing the voice getting louder. Then she that she sees something that makes her come to an instant stop her jaw not being able to close, she sees the ant that she was running for is..is DROWNING! She knew she had to act fast but then she saw that she is from a different ant colony. I mean she was a Honeypot ant and they were Pachycondyla ants, she had no idea what to do. An ant from the colony ran to her and begged her for her help he said there was no one around to save her and he was too old. Next, he gave her a donut-like lifesaver, this was it. [[p5]]

[[donut-like lifesaver.]] or a [[mini marshmellow]]

The next second she finds herself running as fast as her legs could take her, on the tall, and moist grass, while she feels every little splat of water on her legs. [[paragraph 5]]

She jumped into the cold water as she was swimming for her life when the girl sinks, she heard a cry ‘’Rosie!’ She dives in the water practically running, she grabs her leg and throws her up. She can’t feel her arms anymore then she….. let’s go now her eyelids slowly closed, the world stopped for a second all she could hear was the music of silence. Was she dying? Maybe in heaven? She started to think about it, what if she never saw her ant colony again, her friends, house, mom, dad? [[paragraph 7]]

She started feeling a feeling she had never felt before, depression. But that’s when it happened, she felt something slowly start rising ‘’what was happening,’’ she thought. [[She gets help]] [[She touches something]]

To her relief, it was ‘’Rosie!’’ She couldn’t believe it but she also couldn’t move a muscle, she was shaking and couldn’t feel any part of her body. They took her to the nearest ant doctor in the colony, she had a shiny white robe and a LOT of hand-sanitizer. [[paragraph 9]]

She feels something in her hand, it was soft and felt like some kind of grass. Then she realized it was a piece of seaweed which meant she was close to the ground! She put all her might into grabbing onto it and feeling how tall it was “I think I’m in a kelp forest,’’ she thought. She quickly climbed as high as she could and reached up her hand was out of the water! She swam out as fast as she could and took the most giant breath she had ever taken. She was so happy but her body was not in a good place. They took her to the nearest ant doctor in the colony, she had a shiny white robe and a LOT of hand-sanitizer. [[p9]]

The room smelled like vomit and medicines at the same time. But she quickly got it out with her Febreze. They lied Honey down on a white bed which was the size of a table. After a few minutes of examining Honey, she told everyone she would try her best. They were really concerned, and they didn’t even know her! Eventually, the doctor came to a point where she told everyone she could only try one more thing, turning all of the machines off, and she said if Honey can breakthrough and bring herself to a heartbeat it would practically save her life. Rosie knew it was a very serious time so she didn’t say anything out loud but it came to her mind that it would probably also save thousands and thousands of ant tears too. Then came the time to do it. She turns it off first 15 seconds…..nothing….30 seconds….nothing...a minute...nothi—wait, she feels like something happened, but she wasn’t sure she slowly walked closer to the bed. The light was dim, and all she could see was her soft and calm hazel eyes. There were sounds of frightened whispers everywhere. [[paragraph 10]]

Rosie touches her cheek a teardrop fell from her face and landed on hers. The teardrop traveled across her face to her chin. Her eye flinched, then Rosie goes if you are awake move your arm, she made the slightest move but Rosie saw it “I think she’s awake!’’But before she got excited she tried again “if you are awake move your antennae,” this time it wasn’t just Rosie who saw it but everyone else did too. She told herself she would try one more time and if it worked this was it, she says’’ if you can hear me try moving a leg,’’ she moved it from left to right. This time Rosie was sure she was awake, and so did everyone else. The colony cheered, Rosie acts fast checking her pulse, she looks at the computer...peep peep peep she..she’s BREATHING!!! The colony scattered getting her their warmest blankets, hot cocoa with marshmallows, but Rosie stuck with her. [[paragraph 11]]

The first thing she says to Rosie is ‘’thanks.’’By the time she is better, Rosie starts walking with her back to her colony, she says she will be fine on her own but Rosie won’t listen to her. So she gives Honey no choice but to agree. Rosie and Honey learned each other’s names and got to know each other a little on the way, not to mention it was a 10-minute walk and they were only appreciating each other for their heroism about 5 minutes of it. [[paragraph 12]]

But in the last 5 minutes, they did little surveys to each other. They asked each other what their favorite colors were Rosie’s was magenta, and Honey’s was teal. Next, they asked each other what their favorite ice cream flavor was and Rosie’s was chocolate. Honey’s was a mixed swirl of chocolate and vanilla. After that, they asked each other what their favorite animal was and both of them said dog at the same time they burst out laughing together. Honey talked about how lonely she felt, and about how much pressure she was put in and how intense it was for her to be so alone having to face all the challenges of life. She also confessed Rosie was the only person she had been so honest and told her these things. Then Rosie told her a little about her how she hated how her life was so boring her every day was and how since her ant colony was not in good condition and her family wasn’t either. She confessed how they got such little food, the small hole they had to live in and hard dirt they had to sleep on. The two girls talked to each other like they had known each other for centuries! They walked on the moist dirt as the grass swished from left to right. They heard the wind whistle around them, and the bees buzz. As the sun was setting they looked at the colors, red, orange, yellow and in some places pink too. [[Someone comes to them]] [[They come to find no one]]

A few minutes later, when they finally got there it seemed like an hour of walking, but then one of the colony leaders showed up not looking happy with his cold, and tough face, a mixture of mad, worried, and fearful (mostly focusing on the mad part) she didn’t know how to explain it. Rosie stepped up and told him every single detail on what happened. At the end of the talk, the colony leader was still mad at Honey for leaving without giving anyone any information but he also looked a lot more relieved. [[Final]]

When they finally got there they looked around to find no one was inside of her colony they were being attacked! Honey saw the whole colony running they acted fast they quickly thought of a plan. She had a (just-in-case) bomb under a hole in her closet she grabbed it and they found the point where they were all coming they both yelled together at the top of their lungs,’’ STOP.’’ Everyone and everything stopped every single ant looked at them. Honey held up the bomb and they all gasped. She said out loud,’’ anyone who attacks another person will get their colony bombed.’’ She looked at her colony leaders some had assured faces, some had mad ones, and some had worried ones. She told the colony to back away and they slowly did she told them her colony meant no harm but if they had to they would. Rosie jumped in and told them to never come here again unless they wanted something bad to happen to their colony. It seemed like they listened as they scattered back the way they came. The second they went out all the Honeypot ants circled around her and Rosie they explained what had happened trying to be on a positive note. [[Final]]

At the end of the talk, the colony leader was still mad at Honey for leaving without giving anyone any information but he also looked a lot more relieved. He thanked Rosie for saving Honey and they hugged each other although they had only known each other for just a few hours, it seemed like they were going to be good friends. So, that was exactly what happened in fact, they became best friends and told each other everything. Both of them had never had a friend they could trust and now they did. Even the colony came to a point where they were more involved in each other’s lives and came to be more peaceful in general. From that day on Honey was a lot more careful with everything she did. She was more open-minded, and much more contented for what she had and cherished every moment by helping anyone she could (including people she didn’t even know).

She was confused at first but then quickly realized this was it [[Continue ->p6]]
