The next morning, Daine awoke to a cry of pain. She sat up with a start and quickly dressed. Hurriedly she scrambled out of her tent in time to see Numair cover a big gash on his arm with his tunic. The woman stood frozen. "What happened Numair?"

He glanced up surprised. "Oh Daine, did I wake you up? I'm sorry."

"It's ok," she replied watching as he sloppily tried to bandage his arm with one hand. She rushed to his side, "Here let me help you." The woman pulled the tunic away and ripped it up into long strips of material. "Hope you didn't need that. Let me see that wound."

Daine examined it carefully. "It needs to be cleaned out. Come on, let's go down by the river." They walked down towards the rushing water and knelt next to it. Gripping Numair's arm, she gently cleaned out the fresh wound, making Numair wince in pain. After the task was completed, she carefully placed the strips of material over the wound, forming a bandage. Daine glanced up when she was finally finished and discovered Numair's eyes looking down on her intently. "Thanks," he whispered.

Not wanting any unwanted feelings to boil up inside of her, she quickly stood up, wiping off all the dirt that was on her. Facing him, she replied, "No problem! So, how'd you manage to get that?" referring to the wound.

Numair ducked his head and grinned sheepishly. "Ummm, you see I was trying to catch fish for breakfast . . .and. . ." he froze, listening.

"Numair. . . what is it?"

"Shhh. . ." Numair responded holding his hand up to Daine's mouth silencing her. "Listen"

Daine listened, but couldn't hear anything. She glanced wearily at Numair; then she heard it. A twig snapping. "Numair, it's probably just an anim. . ."

At that moment, Numair lunged himself at Daine pushing her to the ground and rolling. Daine looked up in surprise and confusion. Then she saw it. There was an arrow piercing the ground right where they were standing.
