The remaining hours of morning passed by quietly.
True to Coco's words, watering the crops was proven laborious due to him going back and forth from the riverbank to the plants, filling the bucket with water and giving it to Coco so she could make the water as clear as she could.
They took a quick break to eat the bread Zaque baked and the lunch that Coco brought with her then they went back to work.
So far, the forest has been peaceful, the sounds of birds and the rustle of leaves were the only disturbance in the peace and quiet that surrounds them.
The trees that stood tall and proud around them acted as their barrier, their branches swaying gently in the light breeze and blocking whatever's lurking in the forest, making it easier for Zaque to work.
However, without warning, the peace was broken by a loud and piercing squeal, the sound shattering the silence like a knife through glass.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!
