Chapter Fifteen

1

Will carefully made his way into the cave , trying to get down the tunnel without hurting himself or Sally.  When they got into the cave Will sat Sally down on her moss bed.

“ Will I’m hungry.” Sally whined.

“ We don’t have any food.  I’d go to get some but I cant leave you alone.”  He said.

Sally scraped the floor with a stick.  “ I’m bored.” She declared.

“ Sally there’s nothing to do.  Find a way to entertain yourself.” Will was in another one of his bad moods.

Sally got up and walked over to the entrance of the cave. She began to climb up the tunnel.

“ What are you doing?” Will asked.

“ I’m going to find some food.  I’m sure there are some berries somewhere.”

Will didn’t even argue with her.  He knew that if he did Sally would just ignore him and leave anyway. “ I’m coming with you.” He said, and followed Sally out of the cave.  Sally walked strait into the woods.  She didn’t tell Will that she was actually headed to the place.  Sally walked fast, and Will almost had to run to catch up to her.

“Where are you going?” Will finally asked.

“To the stream.  It’s awefully hot don’t you think?” Sally decided she would go to the stream to cool off and then go to see the others.

“ Sally it’s raining.  Or sprinkling at least.  How can you possibly be hot?” Will asked.

“ I don’t know but I am. Are we going the right way?”

Will shrugged. “ I don’t know. Ketzel is the only one who knows.”

“ Well I can find it. “ Sally sounded very sure of herself.

Sally started to go a bit faster. “ Will I’m sweating nearly to death.”  She said.

“ Are you alright?” Will was worried about Sally.

“ I think I’ll be okay.” She said. “ Am I okay Will?

“ I think so.  Maybe we should rest a bit.”

“ Alright, but not long.  I need to cool off.”

Will and Sally sat on a large rock by an old tree.  They sat for a few minutes before they got up to start walking again. Will turned away from Sally while he tried to figure out which way they should go. “ I think we should go…” Will started to point to where he thought they should go.  Then he turned around and found Sally lying on the ground.  She had fainted while Will wasn’t looking.  Will started to panick.  He didn’t know what to do.  He knelt down beside Sally and put his hand on her forehead.  It was burning hot.  Will scooped Sally into his arms and ran through the woods to where he thought he would find Ketzel and James.

He ran over to where his friends were carrying wood.

“ Ketzel!” Will yelled. “ Sally has a fever!”

Ketzel ran over to Will and felt Sally’s forehead.  “ Oh no, she does!” She said.
