The morning came too fast for Blake. Without realizing it, he fell asleep on the rock as the group was stargazing. He woke up a little chilled and confused. A blanket of leaves, dirt, and moss mysteriously found its way on top of Blake. Evidently, the rest of the group didn't want to wake the sleeping babe, and decided to make him a makeshift bed sheet, instead. He rolled over, spilling his blanket onto the rock, and crawled to the edge.
He spied his friends, sitting around the fire, completely unaware. Like Tarzan or George of the Jungle, Blake leaped from the boulder and caught a tree branch. He pulled himself up and hid behind the leaves. The group below heard the acrobatics but disregarded it as any forest creature. Very sneakily, Blake hung upside down from the tree about 15 feet in the air. Adam walked by towards the river. In one swift motion Blake swung down from the tree, landed in a pouncing position, and tackled Adam into the water.
Blake resurfaced ready to gloat but Adam was still underwater. Puzzled, Blake stared at the bubbles floating to the surface where Adam would emerge. Adam suddenly popped up gasping for breathe.
"Something's got a hold of my foot!" he screamed as a fin cut through the surface of the water with a splash.
It was the salmon that Caitlin sent flying twenty feet in the air, back for revenge!
