O_____O Professor Bellaire had to be joking. She expected her old, creaky students to outrun an acromantula and swing from a vine? Alex could barely roll out of bed without breaking a hip. They were being punked, right? Seeing that many of her classmates had already started on the obstacle course, she knew that this was not the case. This could not possibly end well.......but Alex was not a quitter.

Oh man, what to do. Think Alex. Suddenly, she had an idea. Starting on the course, Alex was trying to devise a plan that would keep her alive to see another day. She walked slowly at first, keeping her eyes peeled for the acromantula. Why did it have to be that? Not just a creepy crawly thing, but a BIG creepy crawly thing. Hearing a rustling noise nearby, Alex picked up her pace and then she saw it. It was the biggest, nastiest acromantula you could ever imagine. Alex started to run in the direction of the ravine, waiting until the proper moment to cast her spell. She hoped she didn't have a heart attack before she had a chance to carry it out.
