Until Dawn

Chapter 38 - Peace at Last

I woke up in the small cave I had found, and Ciel and Elenore asleep together, her resting on Ciel. It must be early morning, because it was still dark out. I decided I would go hunt something for breakfast. Not to show off to Elenore, but for the actual food. I picked up my Kanto Combat Knife that was in my pocket, and set out quietly in the woods. I crept up behind a wild pig, and slowly raised my blade. Then, SHNK! And it was dead. I then cut it open, gutted it and salvaged all of the remaining meat. I took it back to camp and placed it down, slicing off pieces of back bacon, and putting them on a slab of rock. I then found some chickens and killed them, and cracked the eggs onto a seperarate rock. Then I placed the two over the flames and they began to cook. I put the pig meat aside and just sat for about half an hour. I then broke some trees with my knife and cut the trunks into thin pieces, cleaned them in the nearby brook, and by the time I got back, the food was cooked. I placed the bacon onto the plates evenly, and gave extra eggs to Ele and Ciel. I didn't deserve the extra food. Then after placing the plates at their feet, I woke them both up. "Hey guys, breakfast." I said, and then sat down. The groaned as they woke, and Ele was the first to speak. "Huh? Jacob, that's kind, doing breakfast."
Ciel was next. "Hm? Bacon and eggs? That... actually doesn't sound bad..." he said.

We ate it all, and I cooked up some extra because they were still hungry. Not much left of the pig, I threw it out into the brook and it floated downstream. We sat for a while listening to the birds. I must have had some PTSD about what happened the day before with Ciel, because I kept seeing flashbacks to him beating the crap outta me. And how he told me he would kill me next time. I sighed and looked around. I seemed to have zoned out, as had we all.

This was what it was meant to be like.
