arge of collecting firewood. And finally Cutler, Rowan, and I set off into the jungle-like terrain in hopes of finding anything edible.

We walked through the jungle till the sun had begun to set. Having gathered a number of strange fruits, and nuts for supper, we decided to head back to camp, but sometime during our search Rowan had separated from Cutler, and I.

”Ight, we should probably start heading back now. This should be enough to last us the night. ” Culter says.

”Wait, where is Rowan? ” I ask, looking around, but he is nowhere to be seen.

”He probably wandered off. Rowan is a big boy, hell find his way back. ” He says. ”Come on, hes fine. I don wanna stay out here any longer, its getting cold. ”

”Yea, you
e right. ” I reluctantly agree. Cutler and I make our way back to the beach.

Henry and Davy set up a makeshift hut next to the large fire pit that Maximilian and Francois had set up. The six of us sit by the fire, and eat most of what Cutler and I had collected. By the time Rowan returns to camp the sun had already set.

”Whered you go? ” I ask Rowan as he walks up to the fire.

He places a bundle of yellow fruit next to the others. ”I found a tree that was growing these. I called out to you guys before I had left, you mustve not heard me. ” Rowan responds, shifting around nervously.

I could sense that he was lying, but I chose not to pry. ”Glad you made it back alright. ” I say, giving him a closed eye smile.

That would not be the last time Rowan acted suspiciously.
