The next morning…
"Kate, at least drink something will ya?" Jack asked, he was getting really worried about her.
"I told you I'm not thirty!" Kate said as she ducked under a tree branch.
"I know that, I don't want you to get dehydrated." Jack said.
Kate rolled her eyes. "I won't" she replied.
"Right…" Jack said.
Kate turned around to look at him. "Jack, if that's all you're going to do is say what I should and should not do, I think you should go back to camp! Because I'm not giving up!" Kate said then continued walking.
"I'm sorry Kate, but"
"Jack!" Kate shouted. "Please stop!"
Jack rubbed his forehead, she was right, he was worrying to much about her, and not enough about Emma.
----
Emma woke up as a few drops began to fall on her, if she didn't get somewhere quick, she would be soaked in no time, but she didn't move, she just sat there, her head against a tree, everyone knew know, she was some kid who didn't have a leg because of her mom's stupid boyfriend!
Flashback!
Emma, about the age of 8, ran for her dear life, she was running down the road as fast as her legs would allow her, she had to get away, if she didn't know, she never would.
A car spun around the corner and came straight for her.
"No!" she sobbed, she began to run the other way, he couldn't kill her! He couldn't!"
"Emma!" her mom's boyfriend shouted as he pulled up in front of her and got out of the car. "Get in the car now!" he shouted.
"No" Emma sobbed.
"Emma I am warning you!"
"You're scared that I'm gonna tell on you! Well, I AM!" With that she dashed off down the road again.
"Over my dead body," he muttered and quickly got back into the car.
Emma turned around and froze, the car was coming straight at her, he was going to hit her! She screamed, then blacked out…
End of flashback.
The rain began to pour, she shivered at scooted closer to the tree, her whole body was frozen.

"Kate! We need to stop, anything could be slippery and either one of us could-"
"Jack, go home and see if anyone is ok," Kate said.
"Home?" he asked. "Kate I can't leave you and Emma out in this rain!" he said.
"Yes you can! Now go!" she shouted.
Jack hesitated, then hurried away.
Kate sighed, and began to walk again…
----
The next morning, the rain had stopped a couple of hours ago, and thankfully hadn't started again.
Kate had been searching all night with no luck, Emma had been out here for two whole days, she wasn't going to let herself give up, what if Emma needed her? She couldn't give up.
Kate wiped her hair out of her face, she stumbled over a rock and started to fall down a small mountain, when she reached the bottom, she groaned, she looked up what was in front of her it was Emma.
"Emma!" she shouted, she quickly got up and ran to her side. "Emma!" she said she began to shake her, the little girl was freezing! "Emma?" she asked, she checked her pulse and made sure she was still breathing, she was.
Kate took a deep breath and picked up Emma and put her over her shoulders, the only problem, was it was a day hike back if she took shortcuts, Kate was strong, but Emma wasn't light, but Kate didn't care right now, she had to get Emma back to Jack, as quickly as possible.
A little while later, Kate's leg began to hurt, she looked down at it, blood ran down her le from a inch deep cut. "Damn it!" she shouted, how could she not notice? Jack was going to kill her when she got back.
After another 5 hours or so, she had to rest, she needed rest, she gently put Emma down and sat down herself, Emma was still very cold, one reason was because she was wearing her wet clothes, but Kate was not about to take them off.
Kate popped her neck and sighed, only a couple more hours, she could do it… she had to do it!

So? What do you think? It was longer! Yay! You're supposed to clap…
