I tiptoed through the thick brush, watching the trail in front of me for any unwelcoming creatures. Elizabeth and Salem were back at camp, either watching it for getting some needed rest. I on the other hand, couldn’t sleep. Part of it was thanks to the pan, but also uncertainty and the feeling that I was always being watched, and not by one of the people I was stuck on this god forbidden island. So, Nick and I decided if we could try and find something a little tastier than katniss roots and crab, as well as hopefully find the other side of the island and maybe find a way out.
I had taken Elizabeth’s knife, leaving the other one with them at camp jut encase. The jungle was much more dangerous though, the endless foliage and trees hiding the pelts and noises of any predator nearby. I had to keep myself calm though, I mean, animals can smell fear. Every few seconds I looked back at Nick, making sure he was alright and close behind, getting lost in here could cost us a life. With all the torture we had been through already, it would be stupid to lose our precious lives because we lost sight of each other. Our goal was to keep each other alive for as long as we could, maybe even until we find rescue or find a way back.
Crack! I froze in my steps so quickly, Nick bumped into the back of me. I whipped my head around silently, telling him to be shut up with my cold stare. I faced forward again, my heart racing so loud I thought it echoed throughout the jungle itself. The knife was raised in front of us protectively, ready to jump at anything that came too close for comfort. I basically had a little heart attack when the animal that popped out form the bushes. It was a deer. I let out a long sigh, and relaxed my muscles that had become very stiff.
I dropped my arms to the side and turned around to Nick, rolling my eyes, ”Let’s go.” I said as I went on my way. As we walked through, we didn’t share a word, which left me to a lot of thinking. Part of it was about survival, always thinking about our next move, and the other part tugged at my emotions a little. Salem had seen Nick and I together, but did he get the wrong idea? Does he think I’m a total bitch now? Or does he think Nick is a bitch? I couldn’t confirm the thoughts going through Salem’s head, poor boy was lost, but I could only guess what he felt. It must hurt. I really wanted to tell him there was nothing between Nick and I, but I was afraid I would be lying because I didn’t know what was going on between us. I wanted some answers to all of this, but there was no one to give them to me.
Guessing would be my only option.
