Into The Wild……

CHAPTER 27:

Sam’s Woods, 11:59 am:

Edward and Jessica run over to Gabrielle who is standing on a hill, and thankfully she’s un-hurt. “What is it?!” Jessica asks her when she and Edward reach her. “Look, I think I’ve found out why we can’t find our way” Gabrielle says pointing at the road in front of them. They suddenly see that the road, that was once cleared, is now trashed and littered with broken trees and blown over bushes. “Holy…crap” Jessica mutters in wonderment. “Well that explains that then” Edward says shaking his head. “Now what?” Gabrielle says to Edward. “Um, well there is a road around this, a more scenic then this one, but it’ll take awhile to get around and all, and I really don’t know it that well. Only took it once. And time isn’t really on our side right now” Edward says nodding his head to a still knocked out Dee in his arms. “How long would say it would take to get around time wise? An hour, two?” Gabrielle says to Edward. “More like the rest of day and night and if it rains most of tomorrow morning” Edward says grimly. “Well do we have a damn choice?! We have to get Dee help!” Jessica says. “She’s right, we have a better chance on going to the scenic road then standing around here wasting time” Edward says. Gabrielle nods her head in agreement and then says, “Lets go!”

Sam’s Woods, 10:45 pm:

For the rest of the day the three, lead by Edward, walked up and down hills, across streams, and though thick wooded area’s that you could easily get lost in, and it was raining half of the day. Now at last night has fallen and it’s now to dark to see. The three find a nice open space and set up camp for the night. And thankfully it stopped raining. Edward goes out only a few feet away from camp to a stream to get some fresh water to drink while Gabrielle and Jessica make up some sandwiches and pull out some chips for dinner. They eat, and every few minutes they check on Dee and wipe her down with cool water. “Why isn’t she awake yet?” Gabrielle asks Edward as she and him watch Jessica wipe Dee down again. “I don’t know, sometimes it does take a good few hours to get people knocked out up” Edward says. “Yeah but, it’s already been past twelve hours now!” Gabrielle says shaking her head. “Yes I know. Maybe she’ll wake up sometime during the night or tomorrow” Edward says softly now trying to clam Gabrielle. “Hope so, I am really getting more and more worried about her every passing hour” Gabrielle says sighing. “I know Gabs, she’ll be fine, I’m sure” Edward now says with a sweet smile. Gabrielle smiles back at him and she then hangs her head.

An hour goes by and then Jessica tells Gabrielle and Edward that she’s packing it in now so goodnight and then she heads into her tent with Timmy. Meanwhile Gabrielle has taken over the post of watching over Dee. After a while it’s getting cold. “Wow it got chilly” Gabrielle says now moving a bit away from Dee and now putting her hands up to the fire. “Do you have your jacket on?” Edward asks her as he’s lying on the ground across from her. “Yeah, but it’s helping a little bit, still feel a chill though” Gabrielle says. “Well, do you want me to come over there to warm you up honey?” Edward then says slyly. Gabrielle’s tired eyes now snap open. “Huh?!” she says dumbfounded. “Do you want me to come over there and warm you up? And don’t worry, I wont do anything naughty to you, too soon yet. Wait till we’re a month in on dating ok?” Edward then says. Gabrielle laughs at that, then she smiles at him and says, a bit shyly, “Sure come on over” Edward smiles and then gets up and walks into his tent for a second. He then comes out with a woolen blanket and then he walks over to Gabrielle and puts it around her shoulders. “This well keep you toasty” he says with a smile. “Thanks” Gabrielle says looking up at him and smiling. Then Edward sits next to her and she then pulls some blanket over to him. “Just sharing the warmth” Gabrielle says. Edward laughs at that and then puts his arms around her and cuddles her next to him. The two just sit there and cuddle in front of the fire for a while, every now and then kissing. It is romantic, besides being somewhat lost on the woods and having Dee still knocked out, (and that is really worrying Gabrielle now), but hey things happen.

Then suddenly they hear a moan coming from behind them. “What the…?” Gabrielle says looking behind them. Edward turns around as well and then at once sees the covers over Dee begin to move rapidly. “Oh crap Dee!” he says now jumping up and moving over to Dee at top speed.
