Jade woke from hungry; the pain in her stomach would not let her rest any longer. It took her a minute to open her eyes, as the sun was beaming onto them. Jade was beyond relief she did not wake up to darkness. Once her eyes were fully open she saw the twins had returned to their sitting positions. “How long was I out?” She said as her stomach protested in a growl. Samuel laughed. “Not too long maybe fifteen minutes at the most.” Tristan stood smacking at any dust that clung to his clothing. “I will go get us something to eat. You two should head back into the tent.” Jade shook her head. “I don’t want us to go off alone anywhere. We will go with you.” Samuel pulled Lilith up off the ground. “He will be fine. We are at a military base nothing is going to happen.” Tristan gave a slight half grin and walked away. Jade wanted to stay and wait but her brother tugged her toward the tent. 

Standing at the opening Jade tapped on the said of the entrance twice. She could feel her inside twist. A tent needed doorknobs it did not feel right to just tap the side of a cloth like doorway. They slowly made it back to their cots. By the time they set down Tristan made it back with food in hand. “See we told you everything would be alright.” He smiled handing them some of the food. Jade wanted to burst into tears again she was still feeling like a child while her brothers were being strong. She gave another fake smile before taking a small bite of food.
