Suddenly I heard a sound! It sounded like foot steps!
"HELP! HELP! WE'RE FALLING!" I yelled, hoping they would hear. And they did.
"OH, NO! WHAT'S WRONG?" asked an unfamiliar female voice.
"Our friend and my cousin fell and the only thing keeping them from falling is that branch that Freddy's holding!"
"I'll help you get them up," said another unfamiliar voice.
Suddenly the branch started to move! Not down, but up! We were saved! The branch came up some more and we were on land at last!
Bill and I ran over to Freddy and Alleah and hugged them. We thanked the turtles who saved our lives. There were two of them. One was a female painted turtle. The other was a male snapping turtle.
"Thank you for saving our lives," I said.
"It's no problem. We were glad to help. By the way, my name's Samantha Jo, but all of my friends call me Sammy Jo."
"And my name's Killer. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Fred and this is my brother Freddy and my friend Alleah. Why don't you come home with us and have some lunch?"
"Alleah, are you going to tell my parents about me sneaking out?" Bill asked.
"Yes," Alleah answered. Bill groaned. We (except for Bill) all laughed as we crawled home.
