Rose starred at Caden with a look of surprise.

"Wow, Caden, that was, uh... intense."

She said, pulling Cadens jacket closer around her, as she felt even colder.

"Well, I think we should get to bed." Said Dusty, yawning and stretching his arms out. He stood up and made his to the dug- out sleep ditch. Rose went a little closer to the fire, shaking from the cold.

She noticed, from the corner of her eye, that Caden was sitting near the fire next to her. He was staring into the fire, but she knew something was the matter. But Caden didn't look upset in any way. There was no anger in his eyes, but Rose couldn't shrug the feeling that something was nagging him.

But before she could say anything, Caden spoke up.

"Temperatures are dropping, we best get some rest."

Rose agreed. Tonight, even though it was freezing, she felt exhausted. And the blisters on her feet really weren't helping either. Rose gently folded Cadens jacket, and placed it next to him. She crawled inside the dug-out sleep ditch, even though it was pitch black she managed to find a spot to sleep. And to her exhaustion, she fell right asleep.

Blackness.

Everything was pitch black, the sky, the ground... At least that's what she thought it was. It was just surface, it didn't feel like grass or dirt, wood or rock, it was just there.

Then came a roaring cry, and before her eyes there was a great beast running in the distance. It too was black, but it had a white outline so the Rose could see what it was. A horse! And with a great burst of speed, it flew as fast as rushing water during a flood! In it's trail was white, now yhe sky was a light grey and the ground was black!

Rose woke up, slightly jumped, she awoke with the feeling that she had fallen. With that feeling gone, she noticed a small hint of brightness. She still lay on her right side, and it was just barely light enough to see what, or rather who, was in front of her. Just inches from her face, lay a man in a black mask. It took her a moment to realize that it was Caden, who was sleeping rather peacefully. She sat up, suddenly feeling cold as ice, and it was then that she realized that she was covered in a jacket. The same jacket shen folded and placed next to Caden before going to bed.

After sitting up in the same spot for what felt like minutes, Rose decided that it was too cold to sleep. So, as carefully as she could, and clutching the jacket close tp her, she crawled out of the ditch. She looked up and saw that the night sky was turning a dark blue. Rose sat next to the entrance, looking towards the horizon where the sun would soon rise. She could hear the sound of the freezing wind rush past her ears. And then, she saw the Sun rise. Slowly, it crept over the flat horizon, and then she heard the sound of rustling behind her. She turned around and found Caden crawling out of the sleeping ditch. Looking exhausted and grouchy, he crawled his way next to her, sitting to her right.

There was an awkward silence until Rose broke it.

"Here, "

She handed Caden his heavy grey jacket.

"Thanks for lending me your jacket. "

Caden glanced in her direction raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, yeah, no problem. "

Rose was about to say something when she noticed something in the corner of her eye. She looked towards the horizon, and spotted something moving in the distance. Rose stood up, attracting Cadens attention.

"What is it? "

He asked, instead of answering, Rose squinted her eyes, hoping her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. She used her hand to shield her eyes from the Sun. And then she saw it.

"There's a person! "

Rose exclaimed, Caden quickly stood right up. Eyeing in the same direction.

"Wait a minute."

He said quietly. Just then, Dusty came crawling out of the sleep ditch. His eyes drooped.

"What? What's going on?"

"There's a person coming our way! "

Rose answered.

"Actually, someone is riding something."

Caden said, without looking away. Even though he still wore his mask. Rose could tell his face expressed concern. The news was good enough to make Dusty stand right up, fully awake.

"I think they see us! " Rose said, trying not to give away her excitement.

"Where did it come from? " Dusty asked, full of concern.

"Hold on. "

Said Caden, taking a step forward. Rose asked.

"They're definitely coming this way, what do we do? "

Dusty answered. "Stay calm, let me do the talking.

"Wait a minute. " Said Caden, as the figure was getting closer, but far enough for the three to not be able to tell who, or what it is. Cadets eyes grew wide.

"Is that the Llama that gave me a bloody nose? "
