I walked down the muddy path. The humid air was flowing in and out of me. I looked up from underneath my hat, the instructor was a few meters ahead. We were on a trek into the deep jungle. To find the jewels of Muhammad. They lie in the fire cave, that's where we're heading.
I picked up the pace. We had to stay right behind the instructor. There was 4 other people with us. Bernice Elver, Graham Nile, Harriet Brown and Frederick Yakoff. I suppose they were all rich snobs who wanted fame. All I wanted was to see the jewels ! I just wanted happiness within me.
Coming on this expedition was an open door for me. I just got my divorce through. Me and David split up 2 months ago. 12 years of marriage. I'm still only 29. In my family you marry at 17. It's our way of life. Hopefully when I get back to Ealing, I will find someone who really loves me.
I looked behind. The snobs were struggling behind me. They probably have Christmas dinner everyday. Sitting at their big buffet tables, scoffing on truffles and posh burgers. " my Lordy," I heard Bernice say. The instructor tutted. " I wish they'd go to the gym before they take on a challenge like this!" He said. I giggled nervously. He was quite fit. He turned around. " what's the point in doing it for money ? They should be privellaged!" He complained. " that's what I was thinking. I just wanted to see the jewels in their beauty. Not have some fat pigs standing in the way." I replied. He laughed to. "I'm glad someone feels the same !" He said I smiled as I watched the 4 little piggies struggle up the rocks. It was quite amusing. The kept falling over every time they stepped.
"So what's your name ?" Asked the instructor. "I'm Victoria,, Vicky to my mates. You?" I asked shyly. " hi Vicky, I'm Thomas, well Tom." He sounded just as nervous as me. Which was great !
If you like it I am willing to do more ! !!! Just comment !!
