I woke up slowly, feeling my body ache from sitting stiff in one position for so long. I winced as I stretched my limbs out and looked out the window of the helicopter. Once we had touched down on the ground, the soldiers opened up the door as the helicopter blades above us slowed down to a stop. All at once everyone moved and unclicked their seatbelts, standing up and getting ready to hop out. I followed along and waited until everyone was off before climbing out slowly after them, one arm circled around my ribs as if to stop them from moving.
