I think "Shit!" and I guess the others think the same thing. Out of the house came two sleepy men. They walked over to a water fountain and pumped out some water. At first they didn't see us but when they saw us they stopped and looked at us suspiciously. Then they just nodded and went back into the house and went back to bed. So the disguise worked! Yep! We ran as fast as we could away from the camp. Soon we were completely tired.
- We can't go back to our camp, we're lost, so what are we going to do? Carlos asks.
- We just walk for another ten minutes and then we just sleep on a tree or something, Sila answers. "I can't bear to go anymore".
Ten, fifteen minutes later, Sila sits down on the ground and refuses to continue.
- Get up, Carlos says angrily.
- Wait guys, do you see those lights?? Yzra suddenly exclaims.
- Yeah but what are those? Is that our camp? I wonder.
- We'll go and check, says Sila and quickly gets up.
We sneak up to the light and see that it is a small house, or rather a small cabin. It is lit from within and smoke is coming from the chimney. It smells like good food. Nirat sniffs the air and shouts:
- Foooood! He rushes into the cabin.
- No wait! we shout.
But he's already inside. We run in behind him.
- Hey there, says a voice.
There is a man standing in front of us and smiling strangely. He invites us in and an hour later we are full and Nirat, Yzra and Sila are already asleep. Carlos and I go to bed too. I think the man is shady in a way. There's something wrong with the man but I can't put my finger on it. But I don't care about that much right now because I'm sooo full and sooo tired and sooo sleepy so we'll deal with that later.
