A time I was really scared

There was a time I was really scared.. yes, me. The strongest, most unfazed friend you could possibly have! I was hiking with my aunt, something that she absolutely loves to do, for my cousins birthday. There was a total of 4 of us in the car. My 2 cousins, Elijah and Michael, my little sister, Nevaeh, my auntie Camille and myself. It was about an hour drive to the hiking trail, the best hour of my life, but before I knew it…the joy was gone. I feel the car rocking from side to side due to us driving over rocks and potholes and God knows what else! We were now “off-roading.” Something I had never done before, so of course I tightened my seatbelt as tight as I could and held my breath for as long as I could hold it without getting lightheaded. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, we were parked and I could now open my eyes. I opened them and seen the most beautiful view in front of me and all of a sudden, I was full of the same joy again. Little did I know I was in for the hike of a lifetime. I tighten my hiking shoes up, (well they were actually my aunts, I told you guys hiking was her favorite thing in the world, besides me) and grab my water bottle and put it into my backpack. We were all ready to go now. We were ready to take on this hike, how bad could it be? That was actually a question I asked myself for at least the first few minutes of the hike. The first, easiest minutes, felt like I could conquer the world. Oh did I have it all mistaken. I look in front of me to see how far ahead my aunt is of me now, to find her sliding down what looks like the side of the mountain as she starts yelling directions to the rest of us. “Sit on your butts and slide so you don’t fall off the side!” I think my soul left my body. I immediately start contemplating a way to turn around and go back to the car without everyone noticing I left. But that was just the beginning of what I hoped was the end to the scariest moments of my life….
