Chapter 3: A Drop in the Water

Flour sack; it had to a goddamn flour sack.

“Carmen, really? You couldn’t think of something better? Or rather you didn’t want to think about something better,” I glare at her

Carmen simply grins, “We have to keep the wound from re-opening until we get to the mountain. Once we are there I can take care of your wounds properly

“Okay, I get that. But, why did you have to put in actual flour sack? And where the hell did you get from,” I ask angrily. Carmen laughs about the fact that I do look like an actual flour sack just dangling from the makeshift pack on Kevin’s back

“Relax. It’s not like it’s thee end of the world if someone else sees you. Besides, we’re almost there,” she sighe

“How much,” an exhausted Kevin asked

“Less than a mile . . . never mind I can see the rock,” Carmen points to her left. Kevin eagerly walks faster and reaches the rock before Carmen doe

“Where, do you want her,” Kevin gasps, “Not to be mean or anything but I think Katie got heavier.

Carmen just chuckles and points the direction and Kevin lowers me down onto the ground near a soft rock in which I can lean on. Kevin drops next to me on my right still gasping for air, “Hey . . . can . . . can I . . . have some water?” Carmen digs a hand in her pack and comes up with two bottles and throws one to Kevin to catch. I stare, “Hey, I’m thirsty too you know

“How is it possible that you are thirsty if you haven’t been walking while carrying someone else’s fat butt,” Kevin protested with a smirk. Carmen and I glare at him, “Do you know how hot it can get in a fuckin’ flour sack,” we both yell at the poor thing. Kevin irritated stands and walks off the oppose way of the rock and rive

“Kevin, get your ass here this instant,” Carmen orders. Kevin turns a faction to his right and waves good-bye to me while saying that he’ll come back after he cools off. Then he turns to his left and flips Carmen off with the middle finger in his right hand then takes off running before Carmen can react to the offense. I giggl

“That bastard,” Carmen grits through her teeth

“Lay off him already,” I told her and that made her turn around fiercel

“Why do you always defend him like that,” Carmen questioned me and I merely stare at her

“Because it’s always the same thing even if I don’t say anything. Besides I find it amusing that he had the guts to flip you off. He should know by now that means certain death is waiting for him when he comes back,” I chuckle

“That’s IF he comes back and when he does. I’ll be waiting,” Carmen laughs mischievously while taping the tips of all her finger with another, “Muwahaha.”

“Carmen? That’s evil,” I tell her and we both burst out laughing

“Hey about the water, can I have some right now. I’m kinda thirsty,” I ask timidly. Carmen nods her head and digs her hand into the pack for another bottle and walks over while opening the bottle for me. She hands it over to me and I drink thirstil

“You know? I have always noticed that you get thirsty every 30 minutes or so,” Carmen said while she drank out of her bottle. I stare uncertain of how to respond. I finish my water and give my empty bottle to Carmen so that she can refill it later. She only stares at me then moves forward to me and slides her hands under my shirt. I flinch uncomfortably, “I need to take advantage that Kevin is out and about and wash our clothes,” she tells and continues to strip me of my clothes with care not to hurt me. Making sure my wounds don’t re-open. She slowly makes her way over to the rock and starts to scrub my clothes. She now has dark circles under her eyes from the lack of sleep from the past few days. It even looks like she has lost a lot of weight

“Carmen? Are you okay,” I ask carefully making sure I don’t startle her

“I’m just fine,” she smiles, “Why do you ask

“It’s that you seem tired. Worn out

“Don’t worry about it,” she smiles agai

“You never worry about yourself. So of course I worried about you

“Oh, but you don’t like it when we worry about you right,” she threw at me

“That’s not the point. What I’m trying to get at is that you need to sleep and rest for a bit,” I say concerned. Carmen shares my stare with her eyes for a bit then looks away and continues to scrub my clothes, “Do you feel cold yet? Or do you want me to cover you before Kevin comes and sees you nude?” I hadn’t paid attention that I was still naked but then again I can’t feel the chill with or without clothe

“Oh, I forgot,” is my only responds. Carmen shakes her head and looks for a blanke

“Hey, don’t look for a blanket. I’m not cold yet

“Even so, I doubt you want to let Kevin to see like that,” she reminded me. I nod. She finally finds the blanket in Kevin’s pack and brings it to m

“I still don’t understand. How is it that you don’t get cold so easily

I shrugged. Carmen just sighs and gets back to scrubbin

After half an hour goes by and Carmen had finished scrubbing my clothes and hung it on a tree that was close to a small fire she had made to keep us warm. Kevin comes back looking around making sure that Carmen don’t rip him another anus. I grin and give Carmen the sign. She moves forward creeping behind a few trees and continues off to the edge of the shadows of the bushes, “Hey, Katie? Where is Carmen

“I don’t know. Thought she went looking for you. Cause you know. So she can rip you a new anus because you flipped her off and all,” I act confused. Kevin doesn’t buy it. He knows that I always help Carmen get back at him. I raise my hands in the air, “Hey, don’t look at me like that. I was asleep when I wake up again she disappeared.” I noticed that Carmen was right behind Kevin with a stick in her hands. Carmen raise the stick and brings it down on Kevin’s head then stops and taps the stick on his head. Kevin jumps and falls onto the ground then backs up closer to me

“My god your face; you should have seen it,” I burst out laughing. Kevin just looks at me and yells, “You knew and you didn’t tell me. That’s just evil

We laugh and grin

Kevin looks at me puzzled, “Hey? Can I ask? Why, is it that you have a blanket? As far as I know, you aren’t the one to get cold so easily.

I blush and pull the blanket closer around me. Carmen smacks Kevin on the back of the head, “What was that for

“God, you really are stupid,” Carmen points out. She motions the rock where she had been scrubbing my clothes and then points to the tree where she had hung it

“Oh,” was his only responds. Kevin looks down and little pink spot starts in the middle of his face and spreads

Carmen grins and covers her mouth with her hand, “Oooohhhh, Kevin you are so perverted. You just imaged how Katie look’s under the blanket just now didn’t you,” she teased Kevin. He gets bright red. With his hands he covers his crotch and looks away. Carmen smirks and looks at me, “Katie, I think you should service him,” Carmen teased us. I blush and giggle, “But Carmen I thought you said no PDA.

“Oh yeah, I forgot. Sorry man, looks like you’re going to have to service yourself,” she teased him once more. Kevin looks at both at us and lets out a sigh while getting onto his feet, “Actually, I was hoping you be the one to service me Carmen or both. But you just blew your cover,” Kevin smirked at Carmen and left running saying not to follow him

“Why not, thought you said you wanted a piece of me,” Carmen smiled

“Come on you guys. Stop that already,” I laugh. I see Carmen chase after Kevin around the small fire she made. I keep on laughing and start to cough slightly from all the laughing. Kevin manages to grab a stick then starts using it as a sword. Carmen grins and picks up a wooden stick herself, “On guard,” she smiled. She moves forward to her left with a simple slight jump and slashes with the stick at Kevin. But he takes a step back and blocks the blow with his wooden stick. Kevin stumbles a bit but Carmen is restless and goes for the next attack. This is time for sure I thought Kevin was gonna lose. The fire flickers and goes out then comes back to life. Then I see Carmen on the ground with a surprised Kevin gasping while he covers his mouth with a hand and drops the stick he was holding ont

I gasped, “Kevin! What did you do to Carmen? I know you wanted your own comeback but this is too much.” Kevin simply looks at me while shaking his head wildly left and right, “Katie . . . I didn’t do it,” was all he could sa

“Well, well, well. Lookie whot we’ve got hiere,” said a dark figure that had stepped out of the shadows of the trees. Kevin immediately grabbed the stick that he had dropped. He gets on guard, “Boy, I hope you know that’s useless,” the dark figure said while it tilts head slightly to his left

“Kevin! Come to me he’s dangerous,” I ordered him. Kevin didn’t think twice and came to me. I managed to wrap the blanket around me and tie it making it into a make-shift dress

“My dear, if you wanted a dress all you had to do was tell me,” it said. In a blink of an eye he was in front of us. Kevin pulled me closer to him

Now I can see the dark figure clearly, it was tall as Kevin and it has a slim built. It was wearing a long dark blue coat that reached all the way to it’s ankles with a gray T-shirt and regular dark colored jeans with black heavy boots. It’s skin was light but pale due to the lack of sunlight. It had raven black hair and it’s eyes were bright hazel paired with a slim nose and lips that up held a smirk. While it smirk I noticed that it’s canines were prominent

He smiled thinly and made a gesture to Kevin to move away from me, “Welcome home princess,” while taking a bow and Kevin followed his lead. Flour sack; it had to a goddamn flour sack

“Carmen, really? You couldn’t think of something better? Or rather you didn’t want to think about something better,” I glare at her

Carmen simply grins, “We have to keep the wound from re-opening until we get to the mountain. Once we are there I can take care of your wounds properly
