Chapter Three
The
twilight skies hovered over them as they exited the canopy of trees. An area
bare of foliage lay straight ahead. Ashley knew they were supposed to make it
to the mouth of the cave by nightfall, but considering they hadn’t reached it
yet—probably thanks to her short stride—it didn’t look like that was going to
happen.
“What are we going to do?” she asked.
Arwan slowed to a halt and dropped his pack on the ground.
“We need to make camp. It’s almost dark, and we need to collect firewood. This
is a good spot for us to spend the night.”
Ashley sighed. “I figured as much.” She knew they’d have to
spend the night in the cave at some point, but didn’t love the idea of sleeping
near the jungle. They didn’t have any real shelter, and there were more bugs
than she could fathom, all of them probably waiting for her to doze off so they
could crawl over her face. She cringed. “What if it rains?” She scoped the last
of the bare tree branches reaching toward them. “We’ll get soaked.”
“It hasn’t rained in weeks, and I doubt it will rain
tonight. The skies are too clear.”
“Oh. Right.” She’d have to learn how to look for signs like
that.
She rolled her shoulders back and let the pack hit the
ground with a thud. Throbbing pain pulsed through her neck and upper back.
“Ugh.” She reached across her chest and massaged the knot.
“I’ll gather firewood. You can get out your sleeping bag
and—” He pointed to some rocks near the path. “If you can gather some stones
and make a circle for a fire pit, that would be helpful.” He unzipped the
hoodie he wore and tossed it beside his backpack, displaying his muscles packed
under his T-shirt.
Heat spread through her body. She cleared her throat. “Sure,
no problem.”
“I won’t be gone for long, but if anything happens, I won’t
be far.”
She bit her lip in an attempt to suppress a smile. “Thanks
for being so worried about me.”
He stood and examined her with a quirky grin. The way he
watched her made her uneasy.
“Just be aware of what’s around you. Besides, you’re the
guardian. You don’t need me around to protect you.”
He said that, but she knew he always would be. No matter
what.
Since then, Theresa has been married, had three terrific kids, moved to central Ohio, and has been repeatedly guilt tripped into adopting a menagerie of animals that are now members of the family.
