Well then, next chapter. REVIEW! Or fav, or follow.
Rose POV
I ran deeper and deeper into the forest. Finally, I stopped by a river. Looking around, I saw that there were some caves. I walked over to explore some of them. Finally, I found what I wanted. A perfect cave. Well, not exactly perfect, but workable. Large wnough so that I could walk in without hitting my head. There was a preety good amount of room in case I had to fight someone. It wasn't open, but I could still swing my arms.
Inside, it had a mix of temperatures. It was colder the farther I went it. At the back, there was a small hole in the ceiling. I would make a fire there, so that smoke could escape. However, if there was rain, it would prove to be a trouble.
After exploring around, I walked outside, and listened. It was quiet besides the sounds that were found in nature. Then, I heard a slight buzzing. Not really buzzing. It was more like static in a radio. There was a pop, and it ended. I shook my head, thinking I had imagined something.
I went back in to sort my stuff. I had a sleeping bag, a backpack, and a set of hard won knives and daggers. I opened the bag to see what I had. Rope, twine, and wire for traps. A basic first aid kit. A pack of crackers. Two water bottles, one empy, the other half full. A box of matches that, when shook, seemed to only be half filled. Finally, the last thing confused me. Duck tape? It was a dark brown color that fit the forest, but still, why duck tape?
I look outside. Its about noon. While I'm not hungry yet, its time to hunt a bit. I step outside, and scan the area, then decide against hunting. Right now, I had to do something out this cave. There was also caves around it, but this seemed to stand out. How could I cover this area? I could pretend that I lived in other cave, so that I would have a warning. But if I went out, what would I do with my stuff?
Few ideas. One, move somewhere else. Two, take everything with me. Three, hide it. Hide it somewhere easy to reach, but hard to fine. Looks like I may have to go look in other caves.
I sighed, and packed all my stuff. Then, I walked out and entered each cave, carefully looking. Just when I was about to loose hope, I found it. One of the last caves. While it wasn't as spacious as my previous one, I found that towards the back, there was a stone that was loose. Pushing it away, there was a tiny space behind it. One that, if I needed to, I could fit in it along with my things. An extemely uncomfortable position, but better than dead.
I stuffed the bag into the area, and then slid the rock back in place. A sudden cannon scared me, until I remembered it counted deaths. I couted slowly. 11 dead, 14 left.
Sorry for the long wait, and short update!
