Camp Delinquents

Chapter 2:

Alec's POV:

Raven was still asleep when I woke, I rubbed my eyes to get rid of the sleepiness. And stood up careful not to wake Raven. The fire was out, I was still a little cold but I'd survive. It was Raven I was worried about, she still looked as cold as ice. So I made another fire to keep warm. As the fire was heating up I went outside to check if it was still raining.

The rain had cleared, but it was still chilly outside. The sun had yet to rise. The brids were singing away. I breathed in the morning air, it smalled like the forest. I went back inside to see if Raven had woken yet.

She had just woke up when I walked back inside the cave. She looked at me. "Last night you said you wanted to know where your people are. I can take you too them." I told Raven, not telling her that her friends might be dead, Because of my people.

"Thank you Alec." Raven said to me. I noded at her and put out the fire. And started walking out the cave, Raven followed shortly after. We walked in silence again, I decided to get some answers. "Where did you come from?" I asked Raven curious to know where she had come from, since she fall from the sky. Raven looked at me then started speaking.

"I lived in space, on the Ark it's what they called it. There are hundreds of people who live up there. We all thought the ground was unsuviveble so we didn't come down, but the air on the Ark is running out so they sent the delinquents down here, they were supposed to tell the Ark if the ground was survivable. Anyway they never contacted the ark so today their going to kill 300 people to save oxygen. So one of the doctors on the Ark sent me down here. So I could find the 100. And tell the Ark the ground was survivable, but I lost my raido to contact the Ark when I landed. So now 300 people are going to die." Raven expland to me, I couldn't believe it there were people living in space?, I looked at her with shocked eyes taking all this information in.

I looked at Raven, she looked sad that so many people were going to die. "Hey it's not your fault that the raido is lost, You tried" I told Raven while looking at her. She give me a small smile in return.

We had been walking for half the day, so I decided we needed to rest and Raven needed to eat. So I went to go look for berries well Raven rested, I found some blueberries and took a hand full. When I got to Raven she was looking around, I walked up to her. "Raven, here I found some berries for you to eat." I said with a small smile. She turned towards me, and looked relieved to see me. "Jeez Alec I thought you took of and left me." Raven mumbled through a month full of berries, I couldn't help but snort at how she looked. "Oh sorry didn't think I was that long gone." I scratched the back of my neck nervously with a sheepish smile on my face. I looked up at her, she had her hand on her hip, but she didn't look that mad.

"Come on we gotta keep on walking if we want to get there before sundown." I said and started walking, with her following close behind.

When we were near the camp. We saw something coming down form the sky. "They must of decided to bring the whole Ark Down instead of killing people." Raven said with a smile on her face, it looked like a star falling to the earth. It landed on the other side of the forest, "Come on the camp with all the delinquents is just over there." I said pointing just over the hill. Raven started running that way.

"RAVEN, RAVEN WAIT wait." I shouted running after her, when  I saw her she was on the ground crying. I didn't know why and till I saw the ground was burnt and bones were everywhere, they didn't make it.
