A look into the soul
Chapter 5
The pair were about to share another kiss, except Steven clutched his Stomach and doubled up with hunger.
"Foooood!"
"There's tons of fish here! Get out for a second," Connie and Steven clambered back on to the river bank, still partially unclothed so they could dry off.
"If I just... Ha!"
Connie stabbed at the water and caught a fish on her first try!
"Nice! Can we cook it now?"
Steven asked eagerly.
"Let's catch some more, so we don't get hungry again. Here,"
She handed him another spear and they continued to stab the water for about half an hour. After they caught a satisfactory amount of fish, they climbed back up to the cave, but staying well away from the mirror.
"Could you get some wood, so we can cook theses up?" Connie asked.
After a while, they set up a fire and began roasting the fish they caught.
"They look so sad..." Steven whimpered, on the edge of tears.
"Oh come on, you were starving a seconded ago! Eat up,"
They rabidly gobbled up each piece of flesh and scraped each bone clean. Then they stomped out the fire and since this night was much warmer than the last, they decided to lay on the small cliff outside the cave and look at the stars.
"Do you wanna get going tomorrow?"
Steven asked, barely able to keep awake.
"That would be a good idea. I'm sick of sleeping rough,"
Connie said, wrapping her arm around him and hugging him tightly.
"Ok, because I... cannge...bflfff..."
Steven was flat against the stone and was snoring soundly.
Connie yawned and kissed his forehead.
"Oh, Steven..."
And the night drifted into silence
