Part 3! Short, but heyz. Im workin on it. Well, here it is!
Toboe and the others awoke the next morning, surprised Leara had put a piece of meat near each of them, as she munched on an apple herself. She had redone Toboe's dressings, and had also cleaned them so they o longer hurt.
The first question on everyone's mind was how long they had to wait until Toboe could walk, even slowly, again.
"A week or two. "was Leara's response. They sat there at their camp for half the day, before Tsume picked Toboe up and indedicated that they should continue on their way. Unfortunately, there was disagreement from Kiba, who was somewhat backed up by Hige.
"No, we should stay here. You cant carry him 20 or so miles! "
"Watch me. "
"Kiba's right, Tsume. That would be hard on you. "
"Who asked you? And your probably just wanting more rest. "
"That's not true! Carrying Toboe will tire you out, and make us go slower! "Hige retorted.
"At least its progress! "
"So? We would probably go as fast if we waited, amd at least you would still have your strength! "
"What do you mean by that!? This kids as light as a damn feather! "
"Right. C'mon Tsume – "
"Why don't we make it a win-win situation, and wait a few DAYS before going? "Leara cut in. They stared and thought about that. It was reasonable, and both cases would get their way.
"Fine. If you insist. "Kiba finally conceded. He arised and put some of the blankets in the packs.
"What now? "
"I have a – feeling that we should get away from here, at least a few miles. Not to far, but far. "he replied. Hige sniffed the air.
"He's right. Somethings wrong. Lets go. "
A few long miles later, Leara stopped for a minute, and Hige began to fall behind to. They stopped and rested. Toboe had fallen asleep, still tired from the experiences of the past few days. Kiba decided to go hunting, and caught a rabbit for each. They were to exhausted to eat much, and Leara explained that's what the extra pack half filled with meat were for. So, they deposited the animals in the bag and went on.
Night fell as the uneventful day ended, and the five made camp. Leara spread a blanket out and Tsume placed him gently before going off to find branches for a small fire. Kiba and Hige took out their half-eaten animals and began eating, as Leara reached in the other pack to get an apple.
Tsume came back carrying an arm full of dry sticks, and after each desperately tried creating a spark with two rocks, Leara was finally able to make a fire. They warmed themselves by the warm light, sitting quietly in their own thoughts. Fireflys buzzed in the cold winter light, owls crying in the distance. Eventually, they began to fall asleep, and the fire died out until as it was left unattended.
The silence was interrupted, along with their sleep, when there was a great howl from another nearby wolf. Tsume, Kiba, and Hige awoke first, hearing the slight noise with their acute ears. Leara and Toboe awoke next as the yelps got louder. The embers of the fire provided them with a tool, and sticks easily caught on fire as they surrounded Toboe, protecting the injured wolf from whatever came closer toward them.
