Survival

Chapter 2

They threw us off of the plane, then escorted the 20 year olds onto the plane and left. I turned and ran to the shelter of a near by forest and ran and ran, until it felt as if my lungs would burst and my heart felt as if it would break right through my chest. I collapsed under a tree and tried to even my breathes. Once I was able to steady my breathes I sat up. I heard a twig snap and my head snapped towards the sound to find a girl probably 16 years old with her hands raised. "I don't want to cause any harm I wondered if you wanted help?' she exclaimed looking at me with curiosity. "I'd like that," I said hoarse, just barely able to croak it out. "ah yes your probably thirsty from that long run of yours," she paused taking off her backpack and dug around inside of it for a few seconds, she grabbed something and took it out, a metal bottle, "here is some water, it should help that throat of yours." she handed me the bottle. I smiled great fully at her and drunk half of the bottle before I forced myself to stop, "do you need some?" I asked breathing heavily from the lack of oxygen. "No we can get more from a stream nearby, drink up." she explained. She didn't have to tell me twice I downed the bottle in a few seconds then gasping for air again. "thanks" I said through my panting, "your welcome, so what's your name?" She asked looking at me. "I'm Scarlett. What is your name?" I asked looking at her. "I'm Ruby." She said bringing me into a hug and I returned it instantly. "lets go I've got a shelter set up not far from here. If we don't leave soon someone will find us and it won't be pretty." she stood up and helped me up. We jogged to her, I mean our shelter and went and laid down. "thank you" I whispered right before I fell asleep "your welcome" she mumbled and we both fell asleep.
