THE CAMP 001

Chapter 6

HELOOO!!!

really sorry for the delay.

ENJOYYYY!!!

The first rays of sunlight lit up my room. The chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. I wish. In reality I woke up because the heat was too hard to bear. Sleeping on the floor made me have a sour body. The desert air is filled with dust and dirt which did not make the already dull morning any better. Finally, a day I've been waiting. Like always Shara, Cici and Jane were up. Few feet away Yuka was still a sleep in some what a very funny position. Little Emma and Scarlet were cuddled up together sleeping soundlessly. I went out of the tent. To my surprise almost everyone was gathered in front of the camp.

"Morning" I said joining them.

"You are up early." said Shara.

"How can I miss all the excitement. What's going on?" I asked out of pure curiosity.

"Oh! We forgot to tell you. We get our supplies every last week of a month." said Jane.

"What? I thought it's our day off kind of thing." I wined.

"Do you think this is paradise to have day offs. This is a prison and they let us have a bath just because they can't handle our stink." said Brody half asleep.

Two long trucks entered the camp loaded with wooden crates from the entrance. They halted them in the middle of the camp. Only one truck was carrying crates. The other truck opened and about ten or twenty soldiers came out from it.

"More of them?" the worlds jumped out of me.

"It's done as shifts. Every month soldiers here change." whispered Alex who was next to me.

"Oh!" I nodded.

The day couldn't get any better. We had to carry very heavy boxes loaded with vegetables, meat, medicine, spices and even the new comers bags. It took all of the morning to unload. Then we had to arrange the new things we got and store them in order. I was carrying a wooden crate filled with vegetables when someone bounced off me. I lost my balance and went down crashing on to the floor. My knees brushed off the ground ripping my pants and the hard skin underneath. My instincts took over my body and put my hands down to steady my body but I was not so lucky the crate I was carrying landed on my hands making me see stars in broad day light. A cry jumped off my mouth even though I tried to keep it locked in me.

"Nita are you okay?" it was Jake who hurried over to me.

"Get it off my hands! hurry COME ON!! get it off, get it off." I shouted.

Jake hurriedly took the crate off my hands and blood rushed on to them. There were two red marks on my hands and I barley could move them.

"That must have hurt. Why were you carrying those heavy things? Alex is going to get mad you know," said Jake.

"I just wanted to help and why would Alex get mad out of the blue?"

"You know just because..."

"Whatever! help me up" I asked.

Jake took me from my arms and dragged me up to a standing position and he did something I wasn't expecting. He put one of his hands under my legs and took me up in his hands.

"WHAT! Put me down, put me down. It's not serious enough to princess carry me!!"

"Well, it's not for you to judge whether it is serious or not!" Jake copied the line I used on Alex. "Don't worry you are light as a feather."

"That's my line!" I complained.

Jake took me inside the kitchen. For a second nobody moved. All of them were staring at us. How embarrassing. 

Hey guys. Hope you enjoy. 

I made it short this time so it would not  be boring.
