Polaris | Survival of the fittest |

Noah looked up. The sun was at about noon, the hottest point in the day back in Trensworth. But in the desert, it was always the hottest point in the day.
"Noah can we rest? Please?" Cat said as they slowly walked through the desert.
"Sure." Noah said sincerely. Noah looked around, then he spotted a big hallowed log. He sat Cat down and put her back on the inside of the log, not forgetting her broken leg. Noah looked out of one of the holes in the log. All he could see was sand... And only sand... Suddenly a big sand storm blew over them.
"I think we'll be staying here for a while." Cat said. To just make matters worse, their food supply was running low. They need to find civilization, and fast!

Chris look forward, he saw a sand storm heading their way. Chris ran to Alex and Will. Will had the binoculars out, looking for a sign of civilians or maybe a city.
"Guys we need to find shelter NOW!" Chris yelled.
"Why what is it!?" Alex asked.
"Alex! I found out why!!!" Will yelled as he looked through the binoculars at the storm.
Quickly they grabbed the shovels they brought with them and started to make a big hole in the sand.
"Will, I hit sandstone! How are we doing up there!?" Chris yelled. Will was still on ground level with the binoculars.
"Ummm... We've got like two minutes. I'd hurry!" Will yelled, "Wait... I see something in the storm it's very very far away, I looks like a big log."
"What? A log?" Alex asked.
Chris dug out the last pease of sandstone just as the storm was upon them.
"Quick! Get in here!" Chris screamed to Will. Just as he was inside the little cave they made the storm flew overhead.
"Alex grab the cloth and put it over our way out so sand doesn't get in." Chris said. Soon they were completely covered, Chris grabbed the flashlight that he brought with them, and they all went to bed peacefully. In the morning Chris looked through the binoculars at the log Will said he saw. Chris saw people in the log. Their ether friend or foe. Time to find out. They made a plan; Will would go around with one of the laser rifles and leave the other two in the hole; Alex would take one of the laser rifles and hide it behind him and would go with Chris to see if their friendly. As they approached the log they could no longer see the people.

Noah looked out after the storm to see a person looking at them through binoculars. The person went away after a while. Noah was still suspicious though. He helped Cat up and went to the back of the log. He used some of the big parts of bark off the log to make a little shelter, it was tight but safe. Just then Noah spotted the person walking down the hill with another person who looked armed.
"Noah what is it?" Cat asked.
"Just stay very quiet." Noah answered.
"I mean, what is it?" Cat asked starting to get annoyed.
"Two guys, but they are-" Noah said but was interrupted by Cat.
Cat jerked up and said, "Maybe they can help us! We are almost out of food." Noah looked one more time at the people, they were very close now. "Please we need this..."
"Fine, come on I'll help you up." Noah said and rolled his eyes. Suddenly Noah felt a hand on his shoulder. He jerked forward, only to see... Bell!
"BELL, you scared me!!!" Noah said. Bell mumbled.
"What? Speak up." Noah said.
"Water..." Bell said.
"Oh!!! I'll get you some!" Cat said. Cat grabbed a stick and used it as a crutch.
"Bell what happen to Carl?" Noah said to Bell. Bells face went pail.
