*Harry's P.o.V*
As we stand in a circle around Lyra's grave silently, Max finally speaks. She is talking about nothing except positives of Lyra. Max chokes up every so often because she's still upset at what all happened last night.
I set up the same trap as before so we could all sleep last night. When I woke up, Max was digging a grave for Lyra I suspected. I asked her why and she thinks it's just the right thing to do and Lyra won't be in peace until she's away from everything. I then started helping, not caring if my open wounds got dirt on them. When Kay and Lilly finally awoke, they helped as well. It was about the afternoon when we dug a hole deep and wide enough for Lyra.
Now here we are, standing around her covered up grave.
"Any last words anybody?" Max asks us.
"Even though Lyra rarely spoke, she was very sweet and nice." Lilly said her last words. Max then asked me and Kay but we really didn't have nothing to say except our farewells.
"Okay," Max says then lays Lyra's marker at the head of the grave. Max wrote her name and the day she died on a stone with a couple of sharp little rocks. She then walks away and so does everyone else. I decide to look at what she wrote.
"Lyra.
Died in 2015.
Lyra is now at peace with her child."
That was a very sweet sentiment to put on her marker.
I catch up with them and Max is just leading with her head slightly down. She's really taking Lyra's death hard. I couldn't imagine how she'd react if it was Lilly instead of Lyra considering how well she's protective of her.
"We need to find some water so we can wash off this blood," Lilly says with a disgusted facial expression. We all nod, well except for Max. I hope we find water first before we find the rest of the group, if we can.
We've been walking for about two hours at a semi-slow pace in silence. The only sound is of our footsteps, moaning of the few zombies we've passed, and the wind blowing through the trees. Today is a cooler, windier day than most days have been due to the wind.
Max all of the sudden stops, so we do as well. She looks around for a little bit then she starts walking again but she turned. I look towards Lilly and Kay and they just give me a shrug, just as confused as me but we follow Max anyways.
"Max, where are we going?" Lilly asks her sister but Max just ignores her and starts to travel at a faster pace.
Max makes zigzags every so often as if she knows where she's going. As we travel I start to smell a fresh smell. It smells very familiar but it's mixed with iron in the air. After awhile I hear water softly rushing.
"Is that water I hear?" Kay asks so I must not be the only one hearing it. Max leads us towards the sound. When we pass a few more tress and bushes, we come across a small fast running stream.
"Water!" Lilly screams in delight and takes her shoes to dip her toes in the water.
"How is it?" Kay asks her.
"It's fine but if you get in, the wind might make you freeze." Lilly laughs then falls back on the ground while her feet is still wading.
I stay back because I have no reason for the water. I would drink it but it looks contaminated with lord knows what. Max takes off her shirt and gets on her knees to wash the blood off. Kay and Lilly then does the same to wash whatever blood they had on their shirts. I decide to go a ways so when I wash my hands to get the dirt off, blood won't come in contact with my scratches.
When everyone is done washing, and lay's their shirts on the ground to dry, we sit down to eat. Kay has the food in his bag so he gets the snacks out and throws it into a pile. We all grab a couple except for Max who doesn't grab any. She moves away and puts her arms around her knees. She has to get something in her stomach but I understand why she isn't so I won't push her to.
