Untitled Chapter 2
Baird laid in a crumpled heap on the grass, a deep gash on his head and the green blades of grass under him stained crimson. Same kneeled beside him, being careful not to injure him any further.
"Baird! Come on Baird, please open your eyes already!"
Same looked up to see the sun was already beginning to set beyond the horizon and that was a big problem! With Baird injured and unconscious, they were already sitting ducks, but with no light and limited ammo, they were good as dead.
"Perfect…."
As she removed her chest armor, Sam felt a stabbing pain in her chest. Either she broke some ribs, or they were pretty bruised.
"Perfect…It just gets better and better…"
Being careful not to agitate her injuries, she removed her armor, tore a large portion of the bottom of her once white shirt and wrapped it around Baird's head wound.
'The ground is probably not the safest place to be right now…."
Looking up at the trees, she tried to find a place that they could stay for the night. It wouldn't be easy, but it was either find a safe place to stay, or be picked off by the Lambent.
Carefully she removed Baird's armor, checking for any more injuries as she did she did, she found that they both had mostly scratches and bruises.
Gathering vines from a tree, Sam braided them together, tied the armor together and hung them from a high branch. Just across the way, she found a small cave that would be the perfect hiding place for the night.
She just hoped that no enemy would come across them by accident. Baird laid at the back wall while Sam tended to a small fire that would give her just enough light to see, but not too much that it would attract any enemies.
All she could do now was just wait and pray that they weren't going to freeze to death.
Nobody would be looking for them in the dark. Too dangerous. With limited vision and no knowledge where the Lambent would attack from, there was no choice but to wait for first light. To make things worse, they lost their radios.
Sam held her hands over the small flame to warm them. What little light the fire did produce reflected off their armor which hung not far from where she sat now.
"Shit…"
For several minutes, she listened to Baird's deep breaths. At least he was getting some rest.
The forest around them was silent, which would normally bother her, but Baird's steady breathing lulled her to sleep.
