Kay then smiled a small smile and said, “don’t worry about it.” she then walked away and said, “Tell the others I’ll be back I’m going after some firewood before it gets to dark. Have someone fish for something for dinner.” She headed into the woods and began to look for firewood when Ben found her. he leaned against the tree and asked, “what are you doing?” she picked up some wood and said, “looking for firewood, what are you up to?”
Ben smiled and began to help as he said, “I was checking the area and saw you so I came to check on you. Did you know your being followed?” Kay said, “I did, Leave him be. He probably came out to check on me.” Ben nodded and said, “okay then I guess I will leave that to him then. If you need anything the two big trees mark the entrance.” She smiled and said, “thank you I’ll keep that in mind.” He then passed her the wood and said, “oh and before I forget Helen wanted me to give you this the next time I saw you.”
Kay took the letter, put it in her bag with the other one and said, “thank you.” He smiled and said, “be careful wandering the woods by yourself.” She smiled and shook her head as he walked off. Elliott came up then and asked, “Are you okay?” she smiled and said, “yeah just needed to get away for a moment.”
Elliott looked at her and asked, “should I go back then?” she shrugged and said, “that’s up to you.” He smiled and said, “if it’s up to me then I think I would rather stay and help you gather wood for the fire.” She smiled and said, “okay here then.” She passed him the wood she had gathered and began to gather more.
Elliott was surprised she passed him the wood but was glad she didn’t turn down his help. They talked as they gathered more wood, Kay could since some of the others from camp come up then and start to follow them and said, “fair warning they found us.” Elliott asked, “could you since me when I walked up?” Kay smiled and said, “once you got close enough I could since you. I knew you were there when you saw me talking to ben so did he.” Elliott stopped and said, “I was looking for you and found you guys talking I didn’t want to interrupt your conversation.”
