Stray From The Trail

In Safety

She yelled and cried while trying to keep her head above water. I finally get to her.
Me: "I got you babygirl."
She only nodded, she didn't have any strength to speak. I place her on my back carrying her like if she were a horse. I grabbed her arms and placed them around my neck and chest.
Me: "Hold on tight, no matter what do not let go."
I swam as hard as I could, the current was against me and the moon was rising, making it worse. For my luck, I found a long log hanging from a tree. I grabbed on and before anything, I took her to safety first.
Me: "You're safe now, looks like we are gonna have to stay here, it's to dark to go back and it's cold, you need to warm up, I'll start a fire."
Luna: "Thank you, for saving me, I should have listened to you."
She grabbed my hand and she stared at me intensely.
Me: "Stay here, I'll go find some leaves and wood for the fire."
As i walk I couldn't help but wonder why she had grabbed my hand. After I took what I needed I went back, she was shivering and sneezing, so I started the fire as fast as I could.
Me: "I think you're sick, here come closer to me and the fire."
Luna: "Are you sure you want me close?"
Me: "Why wouldn't I?"
Luna: "No reason......"
Silence took over that night, she didn't talk and I didn't either, we would just find ourselves staring to one another. I didn't know what time it was, but it seemed late, and I was to busy thinking that I didn't notice that she had fallen asleep on my shoulder.
Me: "Goodnight."
