My eyes lit up as soon as I saw smoke and fire in the distance, I was hungry and tired about to give in to my instincts, tiredness ravaged my body. I didn't think about anything anymore, except to lie down and close my eyes for a moment, in that soft and fluffy sand.
I approach slowly, with the ax in hand, I notice someone getting up, so I position my ax at the height of his neck. — Mother? I ask amazed
"Natalie...— replied Veronica.
I bring the ax down quickly, dropping it to the ground, hugging her tightly. She looks at me with her eyes filled with happiness. Placing his hands on my cheeks, brushing the strands of hair away from my slightly bruised face.
— How wonderful, by God she was saved. Veronica said
— Yes, how are you. Where are the others? I ask
"We don't know, that's the point. Sarah replied
"Hello Sarah. said Natasha. "Lis, how are you?"
— Hi Natasha. Sarah and Lis replied
"Your blouse is soaked in blood.— observed Natasha
"Yes, I think I punctured my ribs. replied Lis
— Mom, we need Dad, he's a surgeon, he knows what to do. Natasha said
— I can help. Veronica said
"Mom, you're a doctor, but not a surgeon. answered Natasha
"Your father taught me everything he knows. Veronica said
Natasha takes out her backpack, the emergency kit. Gently cleaning the site to stop the wound. She makes a temporary dressing.
"It should hold out until we find Dad. Natasha said "I appreciate you so much. thanked Lis Lis holds Natasha's hands.
She smiles and squeezes gently, saying no thanks needed.
Raising his axe, placing Natasha beside him, he sits on the grass that was right in the center of the sand.
"We camped here today. Natasha said
"What do you have in mind? Veronica asked
"A plan to get us out of here. answered Natasha
