Lost Adventure

Chapter 20

"Your prince charming, Tour guide, and um... 2 other best friends have arrived!" Teague called out. Haley immediately looked up and ran to her group with open arms.

"I missed you guys so much! What did you get?" Haley exclaimed, hugging Teague and Lilly.

"We got 5 rabbits. 2 birds. And...a beaver!" C said, showing Haley.

"Woah. I honestly didn't expect you guys to be so... successful." Haley said.

"I knew you doubted us." C said with a smirk

. "Can we see what y'all accomplished?" Lilly asked, putting the birds into C's hands.

"Oh yeah, we made these 3 teepees, well Lb did most of it, we washed the only clothes you left us and fished out a lot of fish." Haley explained, stepping aside to show her friends their camp.

"Wow. You and LB did this? Like by hand?" Maverick asked with awe.

"Yep." Haley responded proudly with the biggest smile on her face.

"We thought you guys were going to be starving to death." Teague chimed in.

"Where is Lb anyways?" C asked.

"I dunno, he went that way to go look for berries and wood I think." Haley said, pointing into the vast desert.

"How long has he been gone?" Lilly asked, worried.

"An hour or two?" Said Haley, now becoming worried.

"We should go look for him, Lb can't tolerate being alone for more than 2 hours." C said setting down all the dead animals. They set down all of their stuff and went off into the desert.

"Hey look, these must be Lb's footprints. Let's follow them!" Teague said. They all came to Teague and then followed the trail until C saw something in the distance. They ran up one of the sandy hills slipping and sliding into the burning sand.

"Lb! Look there he is!" Lilly called out. They ran up to Lb, finding him laying in wet red sand, a puddle of drool, and a very swollen leg.

"He was bit by a snake." C said quietly.

"Well...how do we fix it?" Maverick asked.

"You can't fix it ya big doofus. Look at all the blood he's lost. Let's bring him back to camp." Haley said, helping C pick up her brother. They walked 2 miles back to the camp and laid Lb down next to the fire.

"What's going to happen now?" Lilly asked.

"Let's not think about that. Here C you can wrap this cloth around the bite." Maverick said, handing C torn cloth. C tightly wrapped the cloth around Lb's leg, then they gave him little bits of food.

"Let's take him to the stream. He likes it there," Haley said, interrupting the silence. C walked the mile with Lb in her arms. Once they reached the stream, Lilly helped her gently set him down and he rested on the grass Maverick caught up holding fish on one of the homemade plates.

"No, he is still unconscious." Haley said, taking the fish from Maverick. They all took shifts tending to Lb, managing his temperature, soothing him, giving him food and water, and making sure he was comfortable. Around 10 o'clock at night Lb had gained consciousness again.
