Chapter 10

Night Time Misfit

12 hours of travelling with only three rest stops was a feat in itself. Emma felt like her legs were made of lead as she drank from her water bottle. Jeff was tired beyond belief to the extent that his brain was shutting down.

"Come on," Jeff said. "lets find somewhere to crash for the night."

"Finally." Emma cried, she had been asking to stop and sleep for the past half hour. "We've walked enough."

Jeff nodded. "I'm sorry, I was trying to get us away from there as far as we could." he apologised.

"Don't worry about it, I understand." Emma smiled, recieving one back.

They found a patch of clearing surrounded by bushes and trees so they set camp up there. Jeff seemed more agitated about Emma seeing as she was almost shot, he was thinking about hiding her so she wouldn't get hurt.

"Dad! Honestly I'll be ok." Emma assured sincerely, stopping Jeff's fussing. "Look, I won't be shot or almost shot at again, so calm down."

Jeff smiled a bit. "It's a parent thing- we become to overprotective of our kids in times like these." he explained, looking a bit shameful.

"It's ok, I understand." Emma said, Jeff suddenly hugged her tight. "What did you hug me for?"

"Because I needed one and I think you did too." Jeff admitted, shrugging.

Emma grinned then nuzzled him in a hug, closing her eyes, she felt Jeff hug her back and was feeling very happy now. She yawned and Jeff saw. "Come on bed." he said, releasing the hug. He climbed into his sleeping bag and Emma did the same. Soon they were fast asleep.

"Where do you reckon they are?" The bush moved, Jeff was startled awake. "They shouldn't be far."

Jeff gently woke Emma up, covering her mouth when she yawned. "Shh their here!"

Emma's expression was a mix of shock and confusion. How did they manage to find them? They walked miles!

"Check in the bushes!"

Uh oh... they were trapped.
