I awake with a start, hearing sticks snapping under the feet of something lurking toward me. I don't have any weapons, just a sharpened stick that me and Sakami used to kill the creatures for last night's dinner. Crack! A big stick snaps so loud you could hear it for miles. "I have a sharp stick!" I warn, it sounded more menacing in my head. The cracks stop and I think it ran away. I haven't seen Kadashi or Sakami all morning. My stick is still at ready. Snap! All the sudden the cracking and snapping of the sticks resumes in where it left off. I start sprinting toward the sound, my stick at stabbing position. Sakami then merges out of the bush and I almost stab him in the forehead. "Oh, Sakami it's just you," I say relief washing over me. "Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" he sounds worried, " where's Kadashi?" I didn't even think about that, where is Kadashi?
