Mari<br/><br/>Mari nodded in satisfaction and sighed.<br/><br/>"Maybe. Not yet, though."<br/><br/>She took a deep breath and kept walking until they reached an area with several trees. Finding a smaller one, she took the axe and began chopping away at the trunk. She was sure it would go faster if Harden did it, but she didn't want to appear weak. Especially to him, for some reason. He was certainly attractive, but there was something more that made her like him. She wasn't sure what it was.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Arielle<br/><br/>She was about ready to turn inland, as any water they found close to the beach would be salt...but he found a stream and decided to follow it. Following, they weaved through trees and finally reached a waterfall. It was coming from a higher source, and when she caught some and tasted it, it was fresh. Smiling, she realized just how wonderful it would be to bathe in it, but there were more important things. Taking the bottles and bucket, she filled them with water and then took long gulps from the falls itself.<br/><br/>That's when she heard the thunder grow louder and the sky darken. There appeared to be a cave behind the falls, but perhaps they could make it back.
