I had snuck out from under the cabin when we heard it was all safe, Mia and I had decided it was safest if we split up for gathering food from now on. Otherwise we risked them finding our belongings and ambushing us when we entered the hideout next.
A sudden realisation had come to me - I was a killer now. I had lost my heart.
The leaves and dirt crunch beneath my feet as I smile, my cracked lips letting skin peel off and blood drop onto my chin.
I spend hours out there, trying to gather any berries I remember as being safe to eat or any animal that somehow survives out here.
In the end I return to Mia with just a couple small mammals and a handful of berries we're not sure are safe to eat.
