"You ok?.." Luke asks me.
"What? Oh yeah fine, I'm fine" I say suddenly as I realize I've been staring for a while.
I look over at the void it's getting a little to close for comfort
"We should start moving" I say and start walking over to where I left my stuff.
In the corner of my eye I see Lucy and Luke looking at each other concerned.
I walk over to the put out fire to where I left my stuff and I'm relieved to see that it looks untouched. I can feel some eyes on me but I ignore them.
I kneal down and pick up my knife I left, which is just inside the sleeping bag. And put it on the ground. I pick the sleeping bag from one end and my backpack falls out the open end. I attach my knife to the side of my bag using a slip I made a long time ago, and put my backpack on.
I turn around and realize Lucy and Luke are standing behind me. I reach down pick up the sleeping bag then stand up and offer it to Luke.
"No no you keep it, it's yours" he says.
"Really?" I say.
He nods "wow thanks" I say genuinely surprised. No one ever gives anything to anyone anymore.
I kneel down and put it in my backpack. It's one of those really thin sleeping bags so it fits in nicely.
I turn around to look at the void.
"The voids getting close" I say. I really want to get moving but I don't want over step my bounds and start giving out orders. That could get me in trouble.
"Yeah" Lucy says.
"Who's in charge here?" in a group this big there must be someone in charge.
"Erik" Luke hesitantly says.
"Erik!? The guy who attacked me!?"
"I heard my name?" I turn around and see Erik walking towards us. Great, I think, I'm already in enough trouble with this guy.
"Cassie was just wondering when we were leaving. Void is getting a bit close" Luke tells him.
Erik takes a breath and looks like he's going to yell at me, but then he looks at Lucy and seems to change his mind.
"We leave in 5 minutes" he says blunty and walks away.
"Well he seems like a ray of sunshine" I say sacarsticly, and Luke loudly laughs. Lucy glares at him and he stops.
"He's just been through alot" Lucy says.
"We've all been through a lot" I say coldly. The mood suddenly changes.
"Well how did you lot meet?" I ask trying to change the subject.
"All went to the same school, it was an all boys school" Luke replies seeming a bit more cheery.
"And how did you guys meet Lucy?" I ask. Luke takes a breath to reply, when I hear a whistle.
"OK GUYS GET READY TO RUN" I hear Eriks voice follow.
"Guess I'll have to tell you later" Luke says and smiles.
