Elina covered her from the harsh eyes and staired out at the sandy, barren landscape. Even with her dark sunglasses, it was near blinding. It felt even hotter than it had the day before, and that was saying somthing. She took a small sip of her canteen and continued on her way. She was loath to make this trip during the day, as it was always cooler at night. Oh, she was so thirsty, but she didn't dare finish what water she had left.  If she didn't make it last, she'd be dead before nightfall. She pulled her hat back on, and forced herself to continue her walk. Hopefully, if she kept going in this direction, she'd find people, and by finding people, she prayed she'd find water.
