Jack woke up just before dawn. Kate was still asleep right beside where he used to be laying. He gently got up, careful not to use his hurt arm and tended to the fire that was slowly dieing. He put more logs on with his free arm and grabbed the makeshift pot and started to cook some of the fruit when he heard movement coming from the cave he had just left. A few moments later, Kate emerged from the cave stretching as she came out.
"Weren't you going to wake me?" she asked staring at the figure before her. By this time the sun had risen and the colors reflected off of the pool making rainbows across the ground and Kate's face.
"No I wasn't. You need your sleep. I'm glad you decided to join us at the caves," Jack replied as he struggled to stand up.
"Don't stand up! What do you need?" Kate asked as she pushed Jack back down on the log seat that he made.
"More fire wood but you're not going intro the jungle alone to get it. Now help me up and we'll go together," Jack commanded. So Kate grabbed his arm, pulled him up, and off they went.
About a half hour later they made their way back into the campsite to find Charlie and Locke sitting around the fire eating the fruit.
"Where did you to run off to?" Locke spoke first.
"To get firewood but apparently the stock has run out. We will need to go and find more. Kate and I need to eat first, though. We will also need people to go and hunt and look for more meds. Think you can round up some groups?" Jack asked once he got down to the log seat with a leaf stuffed with food in his hand.
"Sure, no problem. I can hunt with Charlie and the others can look for meds. You two can go and get firewood after you finish eating. Come on Charlie, we better start now if we are to have these by lunch," Locke said as he stood up to get his knives.
"I don't really feel like going but, thanks for the offer," Charlie said staying where he was.
"It wasn't just an offer, now get up!" Locke said more sternly then stared down at Charlie with a look of disgust and then started to walk off. Charlie got up and started to follow him into the jungle.
"Well eat up. It rained last night so finding dry wood is going to be the hard part," Jack said once he was done eating, "I'll go tell the others what they will need to do today and then we'll leave." Jack walked off leaving Kate to eat.
Thanks to all those who reviewed. Hopefully more will review so thanks. It will get better.
