Chapter 12 - Regret
Jen sat on the sand staring off into the sea. The blonde strolled up to her and sat beside her.
"You ok?" He asked.
"well.." Jen whispered. "I feel guilty."
"About Dark?" Noah said.
"I shouldnt have said it." Jen said in remorse.
"Well, he over reacted didnt he, you were only joking.. I understand." Noah said, trying to help the situation
She just sighed and threw a pebble out to sea.
"Cmon, we will go do something, take your mind off it yeah?" Noah reassured her.
Jen nodded her head and got up from the sand. They both headed back to camp. By now, all the shelters were set up and they had also made large baskets to store food and coconut shells full of water. Noah had collected similar sized pieces of wood and gave them to Jen. From the fire she picked up a piece of charcoal and used it to write separate names on. She strung these up with the thick vine. Each hut was labelled with who slept where. It was getting late and everyone came back to the camp after a hard day's work.
Later they sat around the fire, this time though, there was a bad atmosphere in the air. Everyone was mostly silent.
"So.." Foxy spoke up.
They all looked up and back down.
"They're not coming back" Jen sighed.
She got up off from the ground and walked off down the far right of the island. There was a gathering of rocks here close to the sea. She sat upon the rocks and stared off into the night sky. The red fox got up to go after her, Noah took his arm and shook his head.
"Dont." He muttered.
Foxy sat back down.
After a while they all went inside their new huts and waited for the next sunrise.
