Thanks for all your advice, iamnotachicken. I was afraid it was going to fast as well. Now that I know it wasn't just me I'll try and slow it down a tad.

"Couldn't we have waited until morning to leave the lodge?" Larry said as he and Ren sat huddled under a pine tree. When they had left it was nearly sundown. Now it was pitch black and close to below zero.

"I guess we were just so exited to get out here and get started that we didn't think about that. Oh great. Now I'm starting to sound like Louis!" Ren said huddling closer to Larry.

"Well, he is your brother." Ren gave Larry a quick punch in the shoulder and scooted even closer.

"Do you think we'll ever find them?" Ren said with a little bit of doubt in her voice.

"Well you're the one who said that they can't be dead. So if that's that you said then I'm going to stand by that."

"Hey Larry, I just noticed something. Even though there's no reason not to, we haven't fought in over a week."

"Yeah. I've noticed that to. I guess being friends is just better than being enemies." Larry said looking at the stars.

After that exhaustion took over and they fell fast asleep. Knowing that they had a long day ahead of them.

"Ren, quick. Wake up." Larry whispered as he shook Ren gently.

"Huh. What is it?" Ren said pulling herself out of a deep sleep.

"Shhh. I just heard dogs and people talking. I think their coming to find us. We half to get outa here.

Ren and Larry got there bags and snuck away slowly from the direction the voices were coming from. As they ran they occasionally hid behind rocks and trees and looked back to see if they were any closer.When they were a good deal away Ren took out her compass.

"Well that should be easy."

"What? What's easy?" Larry said looking over at the compass.

"We're heading due south from the lodge. So when we come back then we'll just have to go strait north."

"Convenient." Larry said as he started to walk off again.

"Wait. Aren't we going to have some breakfast?" Ren said as she continued to stand in the same spot.

"Well did you bring any food?" Larry said walking back to where Ren stood.

"Not really."

"Well then what do you propose we eat?"

"Wait. Are we starting to fight again?" Ren said.

"I think we are. Sorry." Larry said siting his bag down on a rock.

"I'm sorry too. I guess we'll just have to find some berries or something." Ren said as they started off again.

"Do you think they grow this time of year?" Larry said following not to close behind.

"Well they better. Or we'll just have to go without a meal."

There's that chap. Tell me if you think that's better. And sorry if the chaps. Are a little on the short side. I usually have to write these at night so I'm a little wore out by the time I can get to a computer. Expect the next chappie. soon!
