As he changed position and kneeled back down, a small black snake wiggled toward him from the dark corner of the ten feet wide hole. “Geeze!” he exclaimed and threw himself backward, not sure if the snake was poisonous or just an innocent garter snake that had fallen into the pit by accident. The moment his elbows hit the dirt and feet still up in the air, an arrow hit the exact spot he was kneeling a second ago with such force that the wide obsidian arrowhead nearly disappeared into the dirt with the shaft violently vibrating.
“What the hell!?” he cried out in fright and looked up. Six feet up at the mouth of the hole he saw his sister staring down at him holding a recurve bow. She let out a furious scream and disappeared. “Sofia? When did you… how did you get here? Wait!” He yelled and scrambled to get to the stepladder as fast as he could. “Sofia! Wait!” he shouted as he climbed out of the dig hole.
The stocky security guard woke to the high-pitched scream, jumped to his feet feeling confused and dumbfounded. “Hey! What are you doing there?” he yelled at the young girl running from the pit. She glared at the guard with a murderous expression on her face. Clenching her fists, she growled and ran toward the path between the thick bushes and soon disappeared from sight. The guard grunted and stomped after her as fast as his heavy body could move.
Jayden finally out of the hole looked around frantically but didn’t see his sister anywhere. His teammates climbing out of the larger pit ran toward him and looked at him questioningly. “What happened?” one asked. “What’s going on?” others shouted.
“A woman just tried to kill me! She fired an arrow into my hole,” Jayden said running toward the narrow path. He couldn’t tell them his suspicions without proof about the woman being his sister.

Author review: Briant did a great job with the translation and regularly kept me updated on the progress. He also paid attention to keeping the formatting of the original English manuscript, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend him as a Spanish translator. |
