Julianna's POV

After walking for god knows how long Haley and i just had to stop. Besides the fact that our broken limbs were starting to ache uncontrollably, we hadn't the slightest clue of where we were. We had lost sight of the road earlier and did not think to look for it again.

"Well we are just so intelligent," Haley said as she struggled to lower herself onto a rock. She cringed as she slowly stretched out her wrapped leg. The bandages were torn in someplaces from when she snagged it on bushes and such. I dropped the bag I was carrying on the ground and sat down next to her.

"Here, let me re-do the wrapping on that for you," I said to her.

"You know how?" She asked.

"Not well, but decent enough to make the walk a bit less painful."

She nodded and sat back while I tore off almost all the old wrappings and cast them aside. Thinking about what doctors did with broken legs in modern times, I assumed that like broken arms they put some kind of support under the wrapping to keep the leg straight. Charles had packed us with knives, and i used those to cut pieces of branch apart and very slowly and sloppily I made braces for Haley's leg.

"Here," I said as I fitted a brace to her leg," Hold that there."

She pressed the wood against her leg and I quickly wrapped it with the extra bandages we had. It took me a few minutes to get her whole leg done, but when I had finished she got up and used her crutches to limp around, testing out the bindings.

"Oh my God that's so much better," she sighed and sat back down," Thank you so much."

"I'm glad it's better," I said.

"Ok," Haley said," Now we should probably fix yours. You shredded those bandages."

I laughed as she began peeling away the torn wraps.

Cornwallis' POV

I was getting anxious and impatient with the Colonel for taking so long at finding the girls. Joseph and Jyoti were in my quarters everyday waiting with me for any news. I was so convinced that he would find them right away, especially after recieving news that they had been spotted in a village just a few miles away. Joseph and Jyoti seemed to be trying very hard to keep themselves composed. Either that or they were simply relieved that their friends were alive. They don't have a problem being separated as long as they know they are alive. Even now they sat with me in my quarters talking to each other, not giving much attention to anything else.

"No really," Joseph was saying to Jyoti," I had planned it the whole time. I just felt that a capgun wasn't satifying enough, so I hit him with the bookend too."

"Joseph you are a psycho. That's all i can say to that," Jyoti replied.

I moaned loudly and threw myself out of my chair. The two looked at me as I paced by the window muttering all the time," Where are they?"

"Sir," Jyoti said," They are going to be ok. The Colonel will find them and bring them back here."

"If he doesn't kill them first," Joseph muttered. Jyoti elbowed him.

"Not helping," she said.

"The Colonel wouldn't dare touch them," I said," I know he is not that stupid."

Joseph started laughing. I looked at him," Think what you want young man, but I think I know the Colonel a little better than you."

Joseph nodded but continued to laugh. I couldn't help but smirk.

"Come on ,sir," Jyoti said, pulling my arm," Come sit down. Drink some tea. Relax. They will be found."

Haley's POV

Julianna and I had intended on resting for only an hour, but that seems to have turned into more than one hour. When we had laid fown to rest the sun was up, and now it was dark and we couldn't see very well. I looked at Julianna who was still sleeping. i leaned down to her.

"Julianna," I whispered," WAKE UP!!!!"

Julianna shot up screaming. When she realized it was only me she clenched her chest breathing heavily and started laughing," Dude you scared the crap out of me."

I laughed too," I know. It's my job. But hey we slept too long."

"I can see that," Julianna replied," But then again what's the hurry? We aren't on a time limit are we?"

I thought about it...no we really weren't...so what was i worried about?

"Well do we have any food?" I asked.

Julianna shuffled through the bag then stopped," You know..this is really pointless. I can't even see."

"I can fix that," I said. I felt around for objects. In a few minutes i had a pile of rocks and grass and leaves(?). I then felt around for two more rocks and when i found them i banged and scraped them together. Sparks flew from them and soon a small fire was going. Julianna continued digging through the bags.

"Moldy bread?" She asked.

"Ew..." I replied.

"Hmm. Well there are some vegetables and....ooooo hello."

"What?" I asked.

"Meat," Julianna said," I could make a stew."

"With what pots?" I asked.

Julianna stared at me for a moment," Just burst my bubbles why don't ya?"

"Sorry," I said with a smirk.

"Well...what if I roasted the meat and....maybe cook the vegetables under it?"

"Hmm...it sounds good."

"Really?"

"Ya," I said," cook me up some grub."

We laughed and Julianna began preparing the meat and veggies. She didn't use it all. What she didn't take she threw back into the bag to store for later.

"Don't know how long we will be out here ya know," she said.

Though the meal was small, it was tastey and very satisfying to my hunger. We sat around our little fire for a while and talked, and then we decided to make up some beds and camp out for the night. We set them up close to each other and laid down and watched the fire die out. We were alseep again before the last embers died out.
