Chapter Seven: Helping Hands

I shrieked as the fire crawled closer and closer.

Jake had collapsed for no reason. But I didn't want to kill him or die myself!

I got an idea in my head.

I grab some wet moss from a tree. I wrapped both of us in the mossy blanket and we ran through the flames.

I fell and coughed. I walked, dazed to a bush and threw up my midnight snack.

After I walked to Jake and saw a big lump on his arm, I knew it was not Tracker jacker but a creature call deadbeat, a deadly bug that could kill you if you didn't have the right herbs.

I had a herbalist kit and I found the herbs and made a concoction and forced it down Jake's throat. I then got a bandage and wrapped it around his arm.

A girl ran in and I gasped. She had her weapon ready. "No! Don't! I saved your ally." I cried.

I pick the bottle that has the concoction in it, tossed it to her, and said, "Give a pea sized amount to him every 12 hrs, good luck."

Then I ran.
