Alone

Chapter 6!!

Hi guys!!

I am forever sorry I haven't been on wattpad for so long!!!!!!

I have been really busy but I am back now! I read back through the story and tweaked a couple of things, so it might pay for you all to go back and re read, unless you are not bothered, it doesn't have any effect on the outcome.

Hope you enjoy chapter 6! :) ❤️

I reach out a feel small fuzzy body slip into my long slender fingers, grab on, and kick my legs to propel myself upwards. My head surfaces and I take a big breath and cough. I swim to the side of the muddy bank and carefully place the shivering body up before hauling myself up beside it.

"Marshmallow!!" I exclaim, not sure whether to be mad, worried or happy? Thought running through my head - What am I going to do now? I can't just turn back and go home, but how am I going to look after Marshmallow too, let alone my own self? I carry Marshmallow back to my camp site and on the way, spot the muesli I had dropped. I feed it to the shivering kitten in my arms and she gobbles it down the a starving lion. I place her on my blanket and she curls up underneath and stops moving; she is sleeping.

I can't leave while she is here sleeping so I try to make use of my time by tidying up my area. I see some berries in the distance so I go to pick them and check if they are okay to eat. Thankfully, Mrs Melville taught us about surviving in the wild last term, another reason for her to be my favourite teacher! The berries turn out to be okay, so I collect them in a shirt bowl and carry them back to my area and put them along with the rest of my food in the tree hole.

I see a wriggling lump under the blanket and Marshmallow's wee little cream coloured head pokes out, then her black eyes turn to look at me.

"Shall we go then?" I ask her and she in response, climbs out of the blanket and sits at my feet. I scoop her up and grab my empty jansport bag. I fill it with some of the food I have and my blanket. I pull the map stored in my jacket pocket out. I know what I'm looking for. There is a specific tree stump in these woods that I need to find, and once I find it I can mark it, gather up all my stuff, and come back to it to continue the search. I don't know why but that's the instruction on the map my grandma gave me.

She gave it to me when I was just 5 years old and told me to keep it safe, and that if I were ever in trouble I could pull it out and use it to find my way to her. She said I wouldn't understand what the 'trouble' would be until I was older.

That's for sure, I didn't actually know I have vampire blood in me until 3 years ago, when I was 12 and my mum told me after suspicious events that I had been involved with.

Anyway, the map and notes she gave me had specific instructions, but not specific enough for me to know why I was having to do all this stuff. I really don't know why she would want me to mark a tree stump and then come back to it. But whatever it took, I would do. I set off with my bag on my back, Marshmallow in my arms, my eyes on the map, and my feet steering me in the direction the map was telling me to go.
