The two had walked through the trees for a good half-hour, finally coming to a river. Adelaide sat down at the grassy edge, bending over to wash the soot off her arms and face. She rolled up her sleeves and enjoyed the feeling of cool, refreshing water against her cheeks despite the cool morning air. Standing up, she tied her hair in a messy side-braid. "I bet you're tempted to go for a swim, fish-boy. " A distant burning made her glance down at her hands. There were burns marking up her palms, darkening her olive skin. The pain had been worse before during the walk there yet she had forgotten about it a moment. "How far is the bay?" She finally asked, glancing over her shoulder.
Elijah was sitting against the trunk of a tree, fiddling with some wires. "Oh. Uhh." He put away his items and took out the map from his backpack. "It's literally only maybe half a mile up. You can go up ahead and I'll go get some food. "
"Alright. I should put something on this anyway." She picked up a branch that had broken off from a tree and tossed it to him. "Try to catch some protein."
Fishing poles weren't needed with him around. "By the way what were you doing?"
The boy caught the branch, " You'll find out. It's going to be epic. Sooo... I'm going to get some berries first. Catch you later. Don't look for me because I'm probably going to swim up the river there. "
"Every time you say it's going to be epic something bad happens." She sighed, "Whatever, sounds good." This kid loved explosives and he was quite creative when it came to creating them. Adelaide always wondered if growing up in the war made him that way. She had suspected maybe the parents had played a large role but the kid didn't remember one thing about his past.
"I swear, this time you're going to be amazed. It's not what you think it is." Elijah said. "It's freakin' awesome." He grinned smugly and then carried on his way.
After tending to the burns, Adelaide got up and began following the river toward the bay, admiring the sereneness that it held. After everything they had went through, she took time to enjoy anything tranquil whenever she could find it. However, she was in for a shock when she got in to the bay. There was an actual boat out in the water. She moved hesitantly onto the dock, peering out at the water as the sun's reflection glistened over the waves. Hopefully Elijah would be quick and they could get out of here before whoever was on the boat decided to come ashore.

Sure no problem
Hi Kirra! You're too hard on yourself the CS is good! There's only a few errors but nothing hard to correct. :) I like the free nerve endings thing that was a good one. I type quite interesting things when I'm tired too LOL.
Aww poor Isam. Hopefully things will perk up a bit for him.
A thick, acrid aroma drifted through the one-roomed cabin like incense, encapturing the two young occupants in its heavy clouds. Adelaide had woken up to black fog and the choking odor of scorched wood. She was blinded by the combination of smoke and her own tears. "For fuck's sake." She mumbled as she struggled to untangle herself from the blanket that lay against the wooden floor. Her head felt as heavy as the smoke around her and every instinct inside her was telling her to bolt out of there. Waving the billowing smoke out of her face, the sound of crackling flames reached her ears. She could make out the sight of smoldering flames, hungrily sweeping across the wooden logs that held up the cabin. Common sense finally clicked in and she hauled her backpack and rifle over her shoulder and gazed around the room, coughing hysterically.
"Elijah!" She called, the roaring flames overwhelming her voice. Adelaide reached around and finally caught an arm. She yanked the sleeping boy to his feet. He staggered and glanced around in confusion, his eyes barely open. He choked on the smoke that reached his nostrils. She hastily picked up his bag and shoved it in his arms. "How the hell were you sleeping through this, you little idiot!?"She cried and yanked him toward the door only to find the inferno wounding itself and blazing out of control. Bolting over to a clearest spot she could find, she began kicking in the wood on the wall with strength a bit unusual for a girl her size, or for any girl. She finally managed to make a sizeable hole. Adelaide grabbed the wide-eyed boy and shoved him through it, "Go!"
Elijah couldn't exactly process much but after a hesitation he pushed through and crawled out on to the outside grass, coughing as his burning lungs finally got a taste of oxygen.
However, the hole wasn't big enough for Adelaide. He could see her trying to get through it but then she seemed to give up. He backed up, swallowing. There had to be another way out. Besides the fact she was his only companion and friend, he wasn't so sure he could survive on his own. Adelaide had always insisted that he could. He was pretty intelligent for his age, having only turned twelve a couple weeks ago. It was a miracle he even remembered his own birthday. Elijah could not remember life before traveling with Adelaide.
Relief filled him as the brunette emerged from the chimney, the house under her crumbling apart. She climbed down the other side and came running over as the dark smoke billowed into the sky. She was quite a bit taller than him, with long wavy dark hair and a pair of brown eyes to match. Her jeans and jacket, as well as her skin, was darkened by soot. "You could have just got an alarm clock or something if you wanted me up early you know."Elijah informed her.
Adelaide managed an amused smirk. "You expect an alarm clock to wake you after you just slept through a house fire?" She asked, coughing. " Let's get out of here before we run into whoever decided it'd be a good day to try to set our cabin on fire." She did a quick scope of the surroundings, carefully letting her gaze slowly run along each and every tree of the forest around them. "Seems like a hit and run. Let's head toward Harrison Bay so we can wash up and figure out what we're doing. Did we lose anything of value?"
" Besides a couple of blankets that looked and felt like someone sewed a bunch of dead rat fur together, nope."Elijah replied, "I kept everything I need in my backpack."
"So did I." Adelaide fixated her gaze upon the horizon as the rising sun splashed the sky with beautiful hues of amber and lavender. The sun was the only thing they couldn't fight back against, dragging them all into another day of living hell.
