Oh.. My head.. "Easy.." I heard a small voice say, followed by a cough. I opened my eyes to see a blurry figure of a child in front of me.. "What happened?" I asked "You nearly died, stupid boy." she answered as I sat up slowly, my head still spinning.. "Here." she said, handing me a cup of something "Hot tea. Drink." she told me as I nodded "Thank you..?" I said, hoping to catch her name "Elisa Jakobson." she answered as I nodded.
"James Marston. Just call me JD." I replied as she nodded, coughing again "How old are you, Elisa?" I asked, taking a sip of my tea.. Tasted like tree roots, which honestly.. I actually liked. "I'm 11." she answered "You're a little young to be out here alone, aren't you?" I asked as she shook her head "I am looking for my sister, Emily.. Papa said that she went to a boarding school.. Before he disappeared.." she answered as I nodded, seeing the pain on her face "Are you alright?" I asked "I need medicine.. So does my mama.. I am hoping the village Emily is in has what we need." she answered "You couldn't ask Emily?" I asked "She never returns our letters.." she answered as I looked down.
"Tell you what. Stay here where it's warm and safe. I saw a radio tower when the plane was going down.. I'll get help and come back for you. We'll get you and your mama the medicine you need." I told her as she hugged me "T-Thank you, JD.. But.. Why would you help me? You do not even know me." she said as I smiled "I got a soft spot for little kids. Plus, you remind me a lot of my niece, Elsa. She's about your age." I answered, getting her covered up and warm. "I promise you, Elisa. I'll be back." I promised, looking back at her with a smile before trekking back out into the snow. C'mon, JD.. You can do this.
