I woke up to sunlight in the cave.I guess it was morning.I sat up and felt my head.My cut had gotten better and I didn't have a headache.My leg on the other hand was worse.Dry blood was in it along with leaves and dirt.I pulled out an alcohol wipe and slowly went to work.It stung but I didn't cry or scream.Wait I did.There was no one here so why not.I grabbed a huge bandage and put it on.Plus one on my forehead.I stood up and walked out of the cave.My water bottle was filled to the top.I grabbed it and took a swig.It tasted fresh and cool.I found the top,I put it on the bottle and threw it into my bag.I grabbed the clothes that were soaked with juice and went to the water.I rinsed them out and took them to the cave to dry plus the clothes I was wearing.After that I grabbed the machete and took off toward the berry forest.I had an extra bottle with me and filled it up with raspberries,blackberries and blueberries.I had to eat a couple then and there though.Once I collected them I put them in my bag and went deeper into the forest.I saw many animals.Squirrels,birds,and turkeys once in a while.My mouth started to water as I saw the turkey.I tried to chase it but it was faster than me.I knew I was never going to catch it.As I started to make my way back to my cave I saw something in the corner of my eye.A bright blue bird was staring at me.I stared at it back.It slowly opened its wings and flew down beside me.It circled me a couple times until it landed on a branch inches from me.It chirped once and it seemed to smile at me.I held my hand out and got so close I could feel it's breath on my hand.Then it flew away."Well at least I have a friend now,"I thought.As I walked out of the forest I saw that it was already sunset.I walked up to the cave and sat on the cliff of it.As the sun went down I ate a couple berries and drank half the water.When it was fully night I went to the back of the cave.I tried to hop onto the highest shelf,failing and falling.I climbed onto the middle one though and made my self comfortable.I had put on my extra dry clothes and put the others on the lowest shelf.The highest shelf would be for my food.As I tried to fall asleep my mine raced with ideas.But they would have to wait for tomorrow.
