Chapter 16 - Feliks

“Let’s find somewhere to sit and rest for a bit,” I told Jenna.

I squeezed her fingers gently as we walked toward a big tree together. We settled against its trunk, using the roots as our chairs.

“What should we do now?” Jenna asked, her lips trembling as she spoke. Her eyes darted around. It had gotten cloudy, and the cool evening breeze was getting intense. The moon was beginning to take its place in the southern part of the sky.

Jenna wrapped her arm around herself and buried her face. I was staring at her with sympathy.

“I will light a fire to keep you warm,” I told Jenna as I stood.

She grabbed my hand and looked up. As I stared into her eyes, I could see her eyes getting glassy with tears.

“Are we lost?” she asked.

“Only luck can save us,” I teased her with a slight smirk.

She scrambled to her feet and clung to my arm. “I will go with you.”

“I’m only fetching wood to light the fire to keep us warm—it’s not like I want to leave you here all by yourself.”

“Still,” Jenna insisted, tightening her grip around my arm. “I’ll go with you to gather wood. What if you get lost? I’ll be here all by myself!”

Jenna and I gathered a few sticks and twigs together. At first, finding dry wood was difficult; we had to check under the big trees, where the rain could not reach the ground. It took a while, but we returned to our seating spot together. I gathered the sticks together and pulled a lighter from my pocket.

I struck the flint, but the wood wouldn’t catch; after a few tries, we decided to look around and gather dry leaves. Once we arranged them in between the sticks, I tried again, with more success.

Smoke filled the air, and Jenna began to cough roughly. Her eyes were red and filled with tears. I started blinking uncontrollably as well.

“My eyes hurt,” Jenna complained.

She stood and walked away from the fire, out of the smoke, where she began to rub her eyes. I chuckled a bit mockingly. I was also in pain, but I wasn’t about to show it.

Jenna later found something to fan the fire until it started bringing out flames. The smoke didn’t stop entirely but eased a bit as the flames took hold. We gathered some damp sticks around the fire to dry them out so we could use them next.

Jenna and I walked back to the tree and sat there. She was still blinking uncontrollably. We remained silent for a long moment.

“What if we don’t find our way back?” Jenna asked after a while. She seemed shaken, and her eyes were beginning to water again—this time, not from the smoke, but because of her fear of getting lost.

We saw lightning in the sky, and after a few seconds, a rumble of thunder followed. Jenna flinched as she grabbed my shirt and drew closer to me. I looked up to the sky and back at Jenna, trembling in my arms.
