Chapter Two

"Ava look" Adam points above the Forrest line to a smoke signal, "That's gotta be them right? Who else is out this far?"

 I smile brighter then I have in weeks, "I really hope so, I guess it could be scavengers but it’s unlikely that a smoke signal would come from them groups of that size are usually more cautious"

 "Well hurry up then lazy before they start moving again I doubt they will settle there for long"

 We pick up the pace my legs are moving extra fast it's not fair really Adam is 6' tall and built he makes my 5'5 small frame look minuscule in comparison and my shorter legs have to work double as hard as his to keep up.

 I let out a sigh of relief as we enter the forest I much prefer being under the cover of trees being out in the open is risky the skitters could make an appearance any time and we would be like sitting ducks. We walk for about a half hour through the forest it is particularly dense which is a problem for us. As hard as he tries Adam isn't exactly stealthy in our journeys I could compare his walk to that of a heard of angry elephants and the leafy underfoot of this forest is making it difficult for him to be quiet and our main defense is our stealth. It's only the two of us so we are not exactly an army like the second mass.

 "Do you think you could make more noise Adam I don't think the skitters in California can hear you!" I whisper to him

He stops walking and turns to me "Look pipsqueak unlike you I weigh just a little more then a hundred pathetic pounds so forgive me if I'm not as light on my feet as someone half my size"

 I stare at him frustrated I think an actual elephant would make less noise then him but noes not the time to provoke him not wen we are so close.

 "Whatever" I say, "let's just keep moving, ok?"

 "Fine" he replies but I'm not listening I can hear a rustle a few meters away I signal Adam to stay quiet and move closer towards the sound. I'm just about to look behind the bush that made the noise when I hear Adam cough behind me,

"Ugh Ava? I think we found em." I swiftly turn around at his words and see a gun being help to his side by a tall boy with brown eyes looking at me curiously
