The Adventures of Mya and Jordan Hiking with Pop pop. part one
I'm tired said Mya. Ok said Poppop, we can stop here and rest a little while. Jordan was happy to stop. He was tired too. After all, they had been hiking for hours now. Very early this morning, about an hour before sun up, Pop Pop, Mya, and Jordan, packed a small lunch, some snacks, a couple bottles of water, and headed out on foot to the Appalachian Trail, for a hike to Sunrise Mountain, to watch the sun rise. It was now at least ten AM, and they had not yet reached the pavilion on the top of the mountain. Please pass me some water Jordan, asked Mya? Jordan handed his sister the water and a snack to boost her energy. If I am this tired, Mya must be exhausted he thought. Alright said Poppop, time to get going again. Poppop? Asked Jordan, I thought we were going to see the sun come up from the mountain, but the sun has been up for a long time now. And you said it was only a short hike but we have been walking for hours. Poppop looked at Jordan. Poppop had a strange look on his face. Then Pop Pop smiled and said yes, it's only a short hike. Then he turned in the direction from where they had come from and said, let's go. Mya, Jordan said, I think something is wrong with Poppop. I think he is lost. We already went that way Poppop, said Mya. Poppop looked around then he looked at Mya and Jordan. Who are you two, asked Poppop, where are you taking me? Mya and Jordan just looked at him. They were frightened. Something was wrong with their Poppop. It is us. Mya and Jordan. Oh yes, said Poppop I remember you now. Let's get moving so we can see the sun come up. Poppop turned to walk and collapsed onto the ground. Mya and Jordan rushed to Pop Pop's side. Poppop, Poppop, whats wrong? Pop Pop's eyes were open but he didn't say anything. He is still breathing said Mya. The kid's put the knapsack under Pop Pop's head. I need to go find help said Jordan. But how? Where? Said Mya. We are in the middle of the forest. I will hike back to the fire tower we saw this morning. Maybe someone is there now, said Jordan. You can stay here with Poppop and take care of him. Jordan grabbed one of the bottles of water and headed back down the trail. Bye Jordan, stay safe said Mya. You stay safe too Mya, I'll be back with help soon. Do your best to help Poppop said Jordan as he turned and began to run down the path. Mya was frightened, but she had to care for Poppop. She got a water bottle and put the open end in Poppops mouth. He took a sip, then another. Try and rest Poppop, said Mya. I will watch over you. Poppop closed his eye's. He took a deep breath and then he fell asleep. Mya sat right next to Poppop. She was scared and sad. end part one.
