Pierre and I have been walking along the railway, taking turns in random directions. My feet feel as if I'm walking on spikes.
We are trying to get to Erkivech. Hopefully we'll find it before the sun goes down. We haven't seen anything but trees and grassland for the past hour.
"Pierre." I stop walking and sit down beside the railway.
Pierre stops and looks behind at me.
"What?" He asks
"I can't walk anymore, at least not now. I need to rest."
"No. We have to keep going." He says.
"Pierre, I can't feel my feet anymore an I'm tired."
"Well guess what Lily! I am just as tired as you are, but I don't want to be hear when it he's dark. Bit after what happened to-" Pierre stops, as if he can't continue.
"I just can't stay here." He says.
"Pierre," I say, patting the spot next to me."Please. Just for a night. Then we can keep going. We've been walking for hours."
He looks as if he's internally arguing with himself. He sighs and sits down next to me. "Two hours. You sleep. I keep watch."
I smile and lean against his shoulder, closing my eyes.
