Sammi sat there in front of the pit, curling around her knees, deep in thought. A cold wind rushed up without warning, chilling her to the bone. She shivered there in the early morning light. The sun just now started to part the evening skies with rays of gentle beaming light. Almost reluctantly she stood up. Her bare feet, sinking into the frozen sand. Toes wiggling around in the dirt. This was her favorite part of the day. It was just her and nature. She loved being in the company of others, but this early in the morning she was able to be selfish. Think about whatever she could without the distractions of the family.<br/><br/>Sighing lightly she turned around and headed back into the cave. Her eyes adjusting to the darkness that now engulfed her body. She was just about to finish getting dressed and start breakfast when she heard Sam moving around, coughing nearly soundlessly. Sammi, hurried her steps towards the area of the cave that Sam liked and moved up behind her.<br/><br/>"Sam, are you alright? You look.. very pale. Worse than normal, have you fed on anything lately?" She reaches up and felt Sam's forehead, noting the thick beady sweat forming. Sammi's eyes shifted from that of worry to the eyes of a loving Mother as she helped her stand from the table and moved her back over to her bedding.<br/><br/>"Come now Sam. You stay in bed, weak as you are you should of known to feed. We'll go out and find you a hare or mayhap something bigger. When you are feeling better and not a moment sooner, you can join us again!" Sammi smiled as Sam nodded slowly, curling up and facing the wall.<br/><br/>With that, Sammi moved to her section of the cave, knocking the dirty from between her toes she stuck her feet into her heavy wool socks and pulled her boots on over top. She motioned to Keyan.<br/><br/>"Breakfast time sunshine, can you get the fire started while I grab the provisions?" Sammi smiled softly heading back outside.
