Hey I'm not dead! Enjoy this chapter folks!

After finally getting across the evil river by the help of our new companion, Sandy. We continued our path down the road,

Finally after all this time we've traveled, the group just like in the story has been assembled. Pigsy, Sandy, the River Dragon, Tripitaka and Sun Wukong traveling to the West. Instead, there's another extra character in this Journey; A-K-A, me.

This all still feels like a fairy tale. I've already accepted that this wasn't a dream, but a new reality. I still need to find some answers of how I even got here in the first place. Though, I believe that it's going to be difficult.

Tripitaka and his Emperor only knows about my situation, and I don't think it's a good idea to tell everyone else here about my secret. Atleast not yet, maybe I'll give it some time. Yeah, just time.

After a few hours of walking, Sandy was holding onto the horses straps while Pigsy walked next to him. Wukong walked behind us, probably just making sure we don't get kidnapped from behind.

"How long were you waiting in that river?" Tripitaka asked Sandy, cutting the silence

"For a while, but thankfully you all still made it to my river. I was afraid you all weren't going to show up, since it is a dangerous journey. But im glad you all made it to my river" Sandy smiled over to us,

"A lot of things happened while on the road, thankfully we're all still here in one piece" Tripitaka smiled back to Sandy and back to me, making me smile awkwardly

"So, what made you join the journey?" Wukong asks Sandy,

"I accidentally broke an important vase out of anger, the Emperor was about to punish me but thought otherwise. He exiled me from ever returning but the merciful Bodhisattva Guanyin gave me another chance. She told me I had to protect the Tang Monk and his friend until we made it to the Western Paradise" Sandy looked behind him, seeing me and Tripitaka look over to him

"I've been told once we reach the Western Paradise, i will be forgiven"

"Pigsy and I were punished for crimes in Heaven too" Wukong explained,

"So is the horse; did you know the horse is really a dragon?" Wukong tells Sandy, as he eyes the horse, that me and Tripitaka we're riding on, stared doubtfully

"This horse is too slow to be a dragon" Sandy said

"Oh really?" Wukong said mischievously, making me raise an eyebrow over to him

'What is he planning now?'

"Watch this!" Wukong grinned, ran behind the horse and struck him from his behind--

Making the horse shriek at Wukongs sudden sharp struck, making him stand on his two legs while lifting his other two up in the air. Making me fall back, unable to grab Tripitaka on time, waiting for the impact of my fall. I suddenly felt two pair of arms grab me before I impacted the ground

"Got ya!" Wukong said, before I can thank him, we see from a distance the horse took Tripitaka into the woods, as he yelled bloody murder at the speed Tripitaka and the horse were going by far,

"Ehhh...maybe I shouldn't have done that" Wukong grinned nervously,

"Uh, ya THINK??" I pull onto his cheek, not as hardly as I've done in past but scolding him for doing that to Tripitaka

"We gotta go after him before he gets himself hurt!" Sandy points over to where Tripitaka and the horse ran off

"Right!" Wukong said, making me go onto his back as I wrap my arms around his neck. This time, we were going to run after him,
