Note: Tomorrow is my sisters' party. Heh. Yep, peeps, so an update on One False Step is not going to happen. Sorry.
Geb was tiring fast. She wanted to scream. She had no idea as to what was going on, she didn't know if she could trust help and she didn't know if she could trust herself to walk any further. Eva slipped from Geb's shoulders and Geb fell face first into the mud, Eva landed safely. Geb stood up again, brushing herself. The silo was out of view now and she had crossed the bridge, maybe she could call her mom.
She opened her green cell phone and flipped it open. She began dialing the phone, 1-6-1-7-4-2… she decided against it and closed the phone again, too close to the silo. She pocketed the phone and leaned over. She sat Eva up.
"Eva, you awake?" Geb tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, "Can you even hear me?"
Nothing but silence, Geb sighed. She took the back pack off Eva and put it on her back. She knew of a stream a bit further, she went there all the time. She picked Eva up again and continued walking. The wind picked up and it slowly began to rain, Eva silently cursed the weather.
She reached the stream and set Eva down. She opened the backpack and pulled out the first aid kit. The rain fell hard only near the stream, Geb gently shook Eva.
"Eva, hello, earth to Eva?" She sighed and opened the first aid kit. She looked through the continence then closed it again. She pulled from her bag her 'first aid kit' paper towels, a few Band-Aids and hand sanitizer. With paper towels in hand she put everything back in her pack. Geb ripped two towels off and folded them over, dipped them in the water and started to clean Eva's injuries, starting with the cut above her eye.
"I should have done this first," She murmured, brushing mud out of cut, "But then again, I acted on impulse." With one towel starting to get covered she reached into her bag for something. She pulled out a hand full of stuff, a pencil, a gum wrapper and a Ziploc bag. And her mom said she needed to clean her back pack out. She put the used towel in the bag and sealed it, then continued what she was doing with a new one. "Note to self," She said, "Put some of those wet naps in there when I get home, and replace the first aid kit at the silo." She paused what she was doing and said, "And figure out what's with Xana, or rather who he is…" She trailed off and then continued her previous task.
The rain still poured and was now going sideways; Geb was beginning to get wet. She looked at her watch: 10:15. She mentally kicked herself. She put the used towels in the Ziploc and them in turn in the bag. She wore it once again and picked Eva up in a fireman's carry. Remembering the poncho, she put Eva down, once again, she opened her bag and pulled out the poncho, she put it on Eva, making sure to put the hood up and picked up her bag. With Eva once again being carried, Geb headed to the road, and hopefully home.
Note: Short, I know. And you're getting sick of Geb? And Eva? I know Kat and the rest of the gang are far more interesting than Geb and her bottomless backpack. But there's a reason why I decided not for them to have a blurb in here. But they will next chapter.
