CHAPTER 9

Shadows spread through the woods as the sun sank. Anna knew they would have to rest soon but she wanted to find a spot that offered some protection. She now carried a large, heavy branch she’d broken off at the tip, creating a sharp point. The makeshift weapon made her feel a little more secure.

Behind Anna, Lucy clung to Zeke while Ben kicked his heels at the rear.

“Keep up, Benjamin. I don’t want you getting lost.”

Ben snorted and closed the gap.

“Mum, I’m hungry. When are we going to stop walking?” Lucy asked.

Anna paused and reached into her satchel. She pulled out three apples. She handed one to Lucy and offered the others to Ben and Zeke. Zeke’s eyebrows arched.

“Where did you get these?” he asked.

Anna hesitated, and shrugged. “From the church.”

Lucy grimaced, while Zeke grinned. He accepted the apple and took a bite.

Ben recoiled as though he’d been offered poison. “You’re going to hell for that.”

Anna looked at him sharply and was about to contradict him, but instead she sighed and stuffed the apple back in her bag before starting walking again.

“Come on, we need to keep moving.”

“I need to pee,” Ben said.

Anna stopped and glanced over her shoulder. “Now? Can’t you wait?”

Ben shook his head.

Anna glanced around at the trees and the darkening sky. “We need to find a safe spot to stop for the night. Can you wait just a little—”

“I can’t hold it.”

Anna pointed to a nearby tree. She motioned to Zeke. “Go with him. But don’t go far.”

Ben frowned, his face dark; he turned on his heel and disappeared between the shadows of two trees. Zeke followed close behind.
