We woke late the next day about mid noon.
Everyone was up before me, Aaron was sitting on a log sharpening a stick to make it a spear, and Amy was staring off into the distance with a blank look on her face clearly thinking while she ran her hands through her long thick blond hair.
"We thought we should let you sleep", since you had a rough couple of day" said Aaron.
I don't answer just nod " I am going go get cleaned off" I declare
" don't be too long" " we got to get moving we wasted a lot of the day here." Aaron warns.
"I won't"
I walk to a stream that is near bye and strip off my stinky clothes and squat by the stream to wash my clothes, I scrub them as good as I can and then set the on a large rock to my left to let them air dry.
Then I dive into the icy cold water, it's gives me a chill down my spine and stinks. Cleaning out all my fresh wounds.
I lay in the water for a bit , it's warm out so I hope out and trow on my wet clothes whatever.
I book it back to camp Amy and Aaron are waiting, he hands me my pack I mouth a thanks at him and set off.
Amy trails behind not saying anything which is odd for her, something is different with her.

I zone out and began to think, suddenly Aaron grands by back and barrel rolls over to a bush , and luckily Amy follows.

" Aaron whats going on" I ask
"Raiders" is all he says that shuts me up real quick. " listen up we haven't got much time before they find us you guys need to stay here okay, I will draw them away".
" what"? " no Aaron" protests Amy
" it's the only chance we have" he tells her.
She opens her mouth then closes it relishing that he is right.
" I will meet up with you guys somehow" ? He says almost like a question
" okay" " go" I tell him then add " be safe"
He walks past Amy and squeezes her shoulder.
And he is gone
