Refreshed

I
treat
my
burns
again
,
braid
back
my
hair
,
and
dress
in
the
damp
clothes
,
knowing
the
sun
will
dry
them
soon
enough
.
Following
the
stream
against
its
current
seems
the
smartest
course
of
action
.
I
'm
traveling
uphill
now
,
which
I
prefer
,
with
a
source
of
fresh
water
not
only
for
myself
but
possible
game
.
I
easily
take
out
a
strange
bird
that
must
be
some
form
of
wild
turkey
.
Anyway
,
it
looks
plenty
edible
to
me
.
By
late
afternoon
,
I
decide
to
build
a
small
fire
to
cook
the
meat
,
betting
that
dusk
will
help
conceal
the
smoke
and
I
can
quench
the
fire
by
nightfall
.
I
clean
the
game
,
taking
extra
care
with
the
bird
,
but
there
's
nothing
alarming
about
it
.
Once
the
feathers
are
plucked
,
it
's
no
bigger
than
a
chicken
,
but
it
's
plump
and
firm
.
I
've
just
placed
the
first
lot
over
the
coals
when
I
hear
the
twig
snap
.
In
one
motion
,
I
turn
to
the
sound
,
bringing
the
bow
and
arrow
to
my
shoulder
.
There
's
no
one
there
.
No
one
I
can
see
anyway
.
Then
I
spot
the
tip
of
a
child
's
boot
just
peeking
out
from
behind
the
trunk
of
a
tree
.
My
shoulders
relax
and
I
grin
.
She
can
move
through
the
woods
like
a
shadow
,
you
have
to
give
her
that
.
How
else
could
she
have
followed
me
?
The
words
come
out
of
my
mouth
before
I
can
stop
them
.

"
You
know
,
they
're
not
the
only
ones
who
can
form
alliances
,
"
I
say
.
For
a
moment
,
no
response
.
Then
one
of
Rue
's
eyes
edges
around
the
trunk
.
"
You
want
me
for
an
ally
?
"
"
Why
not
?
You
saved
me
with
those
tracker
jackers
.
You
're
smart
enough
to
still
be
alive
.
And
I
ca
n't
seem
to
shake
you
anyway
,
"
I
say
.
She
blinks
at
me
,
trying
to
decide
.
"
You
hungry
?
"
I
can
see
her
swallow
hard
,
her
eye
flickering
to
the
meat
.
"
Come
on
then
,
I
've
had
two
kills
today
.
"
Rue
tentatively
steps
out
into
the
open
.
"
I
can
fix
your
stings
.

"
Can
you
?
"
I
ask
.
"
How
?
"
She
digs
in
the
pack
she
carries
and
pulls
out
a
handful
of
leaves
.
I
'm
almost
certain
they
're
the
ones
my
mother
uses
.
"
Where
'd
you
find
those
?
"
"
Just
around
.
We
all
carry
them
when
we
work
in
the
orchards
.
They
left
a
lot
of
nests
there
,
"
says
Rue
.
"
There
are
a
lot
here
,
too
.
