Janes victory part 2
(jane's pov)
Shadow led us back to his camp as we got closer i smelled the scent of something cooking as we got into the camp site i see that he had something over the fire "what is that?" i ask pointing to the fire shadow smiles "it's squirrel and dumplings...would you like some?" he holds out a bowl to me and i take it and fill it full and go and sit eating it slowly at first and then overcome by my hunger i empty my bowl in a matter of minutes i hear a chuckle and look over at shadow to see him smiling "glad i'm a good cook eat all you want." i cock my head and ask "really?" shadow nods and takes my bowl and refills it and gives it back to me and i take it "thank you." he returns to his spot and looks at me "so where are you going to stay the night?" i stop and swallow my food and look at him "I...I don't know why do you ask?"
(my pov)
I smile at jane and say "well i ask because i have plenty of room and supplies and we both seem to hate jeff am i right?" she looks at her bowl and nods "i hate him for what he did." i look down at the ground "you're not the only one." i move and get a sleeping bag and lay it out on the ground then i get a pillow and lay it on the sleeping bag "here you go all for you jane." i get my bow and go to a nearby tree and begin to climb up and she asks "what are you doing?" i look down at her "i don't sleep i keep look out in a tree." i begin climbing again.

I watch him disappear and i go to the sleeping bag and lay down and think to myself "damn it jane stop feeling like you will die without him you just met him and he is probably worse than jeff even if he is cute….no stop it" i begin to fall asleep and all i can do is think of shadow and how he is cute and strong and so kind to me even though i don't deserve it.
(The next morning)
I wake to smell of smoke i open my eyes and grab my knife and point it and look to see shadow cooking he looks over at me and smiles that adorable smile of his stop it jane… "well goodmorning to you to jane here." he hands me a plate and i look to see eggs and sausage. "I know it's not much but it will keep you full for the walk ahead." i look at him "what do you mean?" he nods to the canteens on a peg in a tree "were almost out of water i need to refill them and i was hoping you would come with me?" before i could stop myself i blurt out "yes i would love to" i look down and blush "great eat up and let's get going." he begins to pack up camp as i eat and then when i'm done he rinses the plate and puts it in his pack and puts it on and begins walking leading the way to our new camp site.
(my pov)
We walked for hours and i finally found the spot "here we are jane." i set my pack down and see she is a little behind and i begin to set up camp and grab the canteens "jane stay here and rest i'll go and get some water." she looks up at me "ok shadow do you need me to do anything?" i turn around "no just rest" i run off and travel about 50 yards and find the creek and begin filling up the canteens just then i heard something behind me so i pretend i'm unaware and cap the canteen and then draw one arrow and knock it and take aim "who is there?"I say in a commanding voice "show yourself!" jane steps out from behind a tree i slowly lower my bow and place the arrow back in my quiver "jane i told you to rest why did you follow me" she looks down and she begins to cry and chokes out between sobs "i was scared you weren't going to come back." i smile "want to help me jane?" she nods and i go over and take her hand and give her one of the canteens and tell her "hold that please"i bend down and begin filling the second one and once it's filled i cap it and take the other one from jane and we begin to walk back to camp.
(jane's pov)
As me and shadow walk back to camp i think to myself you stupid idiot you showed him that you are weak now he's going to hurt or kill you i was so into my thoughts i ran into shadow and he is shaking "shadow what is it?" he turns and looks at me dead in the eye and i back away a little as he takes a deep breath and calms down "jane i will not hurt you or anything and you are not weak you are very strong" i look at him confused "what...how did you know?" he smiles "you were thinking out loud" i smile and blush some not at my embarrassment but by his words how he was so reassuring when he turns around i hug him from behind and he stiffens and takes my arms from around him and starts walking back to the camp site. I look at the ground and walk behind him when we get back i look at him "hey shadow is there anyway i could get a shower" he smiles "go back to the river and follow it up stream there you will find a waterfall." i nod and tell him "thanks but don't you dare follow me and try to get a peak of my body" i begin to walk and follow shadows instruction to the letter. I find the waterfall and i strip naked and slide into the cool clear water and i feel relaxed and i begin to get the dirt of the past few days off. Then i feel someone watching me so i casually swim over to my belongings and grab a throwing knife that i took from shadow and threw it right where i saw the next movement and i see something fall from a tree. I jump out and go to see what it is.
