Charley's POV
I held on too the back of Kylers sweatshirt as he sprinted after the others into the large tangle of trees in front of us.
Jumping over rocks, ducking under logs, and dashing through leaves.
"Guys i think we are good." Said Mekhi as he stopped at a little stream that ran through the trees.
Kyler set me down and proped me up against a tree.
"Duke start a fire, we need to purify some water," He demanded. "Enough for all of us."
Duke collected some wood and made a ring out of rocks.
Bridgett sat next too me and talked. Trying too keep my mind off of things. But it was hard concidering blood had began to soak through the sweatshirt sleeve.
Shots of pain sprung through my ankle and up my leg.
I looked over at Duke as he struck two rocks together over and over. Spencer was standing next too him moving some dirt around with her toe.
Mekhi had settled himself against a rock to catch his breath.
"Mekhi stop being lazy and find something to put the water in!" Yelled Duke.
He stood up neglectfuly and started searching for something to hold water in.
"Okay guys, we are going to have too be smart. We are living off nature at the moment. I have my pocket knife, but thats it. Im going too see if i can catch anything for us too eat," said Kyler as he began carving a stick. With his knife. "Tonight me, Duke, and Mekhi will go back into the city and see what we can gather up."
"Y..y..you're going back?" I asked shakily.
"UGH i cant find anything!!" Yelped Mekhi as he tossed his arms in the air.
"Oh my, shut up and carve something then!" Snapped Bridgett.
"Ok ok jeez womanzilla!" He snapped back.
She glared at him as he picked up a log and a sharp rock.
Bridgett and I sat and watched them do work around our mini camp. Duke had managed to start a fire and coaxed the flames up. Mekhi had carved a bowl for water and scooped some out of the stream. Kyler set up some sticks too make a little ramp above the fire too set the water on. Spencer continued to swipe some dirt around and clean out a small area so we could begin building a shelter.
