“I know. But take only a few sips at a time, or the fluid won’t stay down. Heaving will dehydrate you even more than you already are.”

“Okay.” After removing the cloth she’d wound around her head, she splashed water onto her face then used the cloth to wipe it dry, smearing the blood and splashing her clothes in her eagerness to wash.

“Let me do that.” Gently, he took the cloth from her hand, dampened it, and then carefully rubbed away the dirt and dried blood, pleased that her scrapes didn’t appear to be festering, the skin around them no redder than the sunburned parts of her flesh.

“When the sun sets, it’ll get chilly.” He pointed to high grasses. “Can you pull up some grass for us to sleep on tonight? It will help keep us warm.”

“Sure.” She gazed longingly at the water. “Can I drink some more?”

“As much as you want. But only a little at a time. And don’t get your clothes wet.”

She sipped a few more careful mouthfuls as did he before standing. They’d found water, now he needed to keep them warm. “I’ll start a fire.”

“You have matches?” Her voice rose with happiness.

“No, but I have knowledge from the programs I ingested while on the way to Earth.”

He’d expected Shara would nod in approval. Instead, she stared past his shoulder, her eyes wide with terror.

“Look out!”

Cade spun around and caught sight of the feral eyes of a pack of six wild beasts, the largest one charging straight at them. In an instant, he tried to put up his shield. Failed. Realizing he was too salt-depleted from the walk to protect them, he stepped forward and yelled at Shara. “Run. Climb a tree.”
