(Elisa goes back to where her mother is waiting for her, she looks for an excuse on the way)
-Where have you been....!?(Ask her mother worried)
-I... I got lost.... There are too many trees...(Awsers Elisa)
-Your ankle.... Did you bandage her...?(she said, looking at her ankle)
(Elisa didn't plan for this)
-Huh... I found a pharmacy there are bandages...
(His mother gets up)
-There was nothing else...?Just a bandage...?
-Yeah...Why...?
-Huh... (Says that mother while looking at this sister in the car, Elisa looks at her in turn)
-What...? She's fine? She got bitten....?! (She said, worried and walking towards her)
(His mother grabs her arm)
-She's fine Elisa, she just has a fever.... (she says to reassure her)
(Elisa looks at the car relieved)
-What are we going to do...?(She asks to her mother)
-Given her age and the state of the air... She's not going to heal herself or at least not fast enough...
-It can be treated without medication....?
-The water is efficient... But it will take her a while to get over it... And we don't have much water anymore...(She said as she sat down on the hood of the car)
(Not knowing what to do, a long silence settles down looking for a solution)
-Dad told me that following the animals was a good way to find water.... And we may have food at the same time
(her) mother looks at her having no other solution)
-I'm going to create rainwater collectors...
(they both look at the sky that is blue without a single cloud, the sun beating on the trees)
-If it rains....(she said hopelessly)
(Elisa smiled)
-I'm going to see if I see any animals(she said as she left)
(A few hours later, Elisa comes back with a bottle half full)
-Did you find any...?(Her mother asks as she picks up the bottle and hands it to Zoey)
-It won't be enough...(Says Elisa disappointed)
(Her mother looks at her and then pulls her to sit down too)
-Hey... You've done a good job(She said to him, smiling)
(Elisa doesn't answer and watches as her sleeping sister leans on her mother's shoulder)
-Maybe....(She says as she goes to sleep in the car as her mother looks at her)
(The next morning, Elisa wakes up but doesn't see anyone)
-Mom...?Zoey...? (She said, reaching for her knife.
(She thinks the prison group may have taken them, so she goes to the fence to try to see if they are there in the prison)
