Sudden pain explodes in my chest.
But I keep going.
" That you are my rock,
you are my pillow
If you were a tree
You would be a willow
As I fade away,
there is one thing I must say.. "
As I ready the next shot, Ans Ra picks up Jade and brings her to the hut. Too risky to shoot now. I take down the set up and and jump down from the tree.
"C-Carmen, I know this is bad, but we have to be calm right now, shouting and screaming wont help anything." I try to calm him by putting a hand on his shoulder.
As I land, I use a little sack of baking soda to cover my scent. I gently rub it into the ground as I walk, making sure Jade's brother can't track me or follow a trail. I reach my house as I run out. I go through the door and put the rifle and bag away, locking the basement door as I leave. I go back to my room and sit in a chair, beginning to type again.
