End of Life

"Those words did not leave my lips, maybe they are looking for you too." He told her. "And they thought that you might have gone there."

"I- yeah.. maybe."

"So, how about you stick with my sister and I and if they aren't there then I will help you look for them."

"Okay... OK."

He smiled slightly as he finished his eggs and he moved to pack up his blanket into his backpack.

She glanced back down at her food, wrinkling her nose as she realised she could only eat one before feeling unwell with it - not used to eating anymore.

“Don’t worry i couldn’t eat a lot at first either.”

"I normally have this over the course of three days. Two whole ones is... a lot."

“Aleah always like to make sure we are well fed before a long walk.”

"Yeah I can see that."

He looked over to the trees where his sister had once been, but he could not see her and he noticed how tense Caspian looked. "Get behind the hay bales." He nodded to the bales of hay behind him.

Leena nodded,,not arguing for a moment as she shrunk back - making herself as small and as sheltered as possible.

He hid behind the door with Caspian, waiting for sounds of his sister, when he didn't hear none, he peeked around the door and he noticed two men with large guns coming towards the barn. "Cas, find Aleah." He whispered.

Leena pulled her knees up to her chest, tense as she listened closely to footsteps.

Jonothan got back to her and he shushed her from making a sound, gesturing for her to follow him as Caspian led them towards an exit.

Leena swallowed thickly, wandering after him - being as silent and quick about it that she could.

Jonothan let her go first. "Wait for me." He whispered to her.

"Wait for you? I - where do I go? Where do I wait?"

"Outside." He whispered.

"Outside is a big place." She whined. "Don't leave me."

"Outside is a big place." She whined. "Don't leave me."

"Go to the left and wait against the wall, I'll be right out after you." He promised.

She nodded, heading out quietly then.

He followed her eventually after grabbing his back pack and he grabbed her hand, almost carrying her towards the forest.
