Tony quickly tried to reach higher ground, but where his foot was, therre was a small snake. He then got his knife, and stabbed it, but it managed to bite him first.

Mason calmed himself down quietly,

I grip onto the bark as the log lurches forward, beginning to move. I focus on Mason, who's sitting right across from me. He looks so calm, and I can't possibly imagine how. I'm a nervous wreck. What if this is where it ends? I think of Caleb, and Jace. I want them here with me now. I want to tell them how I really feel instead of acting so tough. I'll never get the chance to tell them, now. I close my eyes and clench my jaw as I blink back tears.

Mason looked at Ruby, "Y-you okay?" His voice cracked, showing that he was still scared.

I open my eyes, surprised to see just a little but if fear left in Mason. I nod slowly. "Yeah," I say, but it's hard to get out with the knot in my throat. No. I can't cry now. I grip tighter onto the bark of the log and look away from Mason. He can't know that I'm weak.

Mason scooted closer, "I know you're scared. I'm terrified." She could probably see him shaking, now that he was closer to her, "But... We'll be okay."

Mason just sits there, looking down. He's not really sure what to do.

If Mason doesn't quit freaking out, I think I may have a panic attack attack or something. "Hey, look," I say gently. "It's not that big a deal. It's just a little water, that's all." My voice is soothing, and I even convince myself to calm down. The powers of deception.

Mason nodded. She's right. Just water. Can't hurt him. Heck, he swam to shore after the cornucopia. He took a few breaths, "Okay, so now what?"
