It was very early when I woke up, 3 am I believe. My head was pounding and I was shaking. I got up and steadied myself before walking out. It was freezing, and the snow had pulled up since last night. I shivered while walking over to the supplies. I picked up my canteen and began to chug down the water. I hadn't realised how thirsty I was till I got a taste. I panted as I finished up the bottle. The cold watery taste still lingered as I got more. Just as I had done with the other one I began to chug it. The cold liquid sliding down my throat felt nice. I put the canteen down and panted.
"Never knew how thirsty I was" I thought to myself.
"Hm...I'll eat lunch today and skip two days. Maybe that will be enough to make them not concerned" I thought to myself trying to figure out a schedule. If I stop eating all together they will start to notice.
"Once a day? I could eat lunch then fake breakfast and dinner. That would work wouldn't it?" My mind was continuously thinking.
"Yeah that sounds good. Lunch everyday and skip all other meals.." My mind seemed to come up with a solution that my body agreed with.
I had to get my mind off all of this so I went off to get more firewood. After collecting all the dry wood I could find I made a small fire. The warmth felt nice against my cold fur and I found myself enjoying the silence.
"Maybe I was right and today will be better, I mean I already feel better and the voices have calmed down" I purred at the thought before slowly drifting off In the warmth of the fire.
