This Means War

I sighed as I watched Daisy fight with herself before pulling her bed covers off and climbing out of bed. I knew I needed to do the same, but the pain that would accompany it wasn't going to be pleasant. Slowly, I pushed myself up into a sitting position, wincing as every muscle and bone in my body protested against the movement after laying still for so long. Fighting a groan, I reached down to the end of the bed for my jacket. I couldn't be bothered changing again, it was far too painful and tiresome, so I decided to stay in my track pants, seeing as soon as I'd eaten I'd be straight back into bed anyway.
Zipping up my jumper, I pulled the blankets off of my legs and twisted my body, my feet hitting my shoes where I'd left them earlier ready for me to put on.

This Means War

Daisy's tired voice broke me out of my thoughts and I looked over at her to see her sitting up. "Dinner time I'd say." I spoke up to answer the question she had asked to the empty room. I lay still, afraid if I tried to move I'd make the ache in my body feel even worse. "Or at least that's what my stomach's saying." I added, a low rumble came from my stomach and I smiled, raising an eyebrow as if it was proving my point.

This Means War

I slowly roused from my sleep, waking up gently to a dull dark room, quiet and still, with no one there to make a sound. I longed to stretch out, but even in my drowsy state I knew that would be a bad idea.
I licked my dry lips and lifted a hand to rub the sleep out of my eyes. I wondered how long I had been sleeping for, it felt like days, but I knew it must've only been hours. Daisy was lying still in her own bed beside me, her breaths even and slow as she slept.
It must've been dinner time, it explained why there was no one here and why my stomach groaned at the thought of it.

This Means War

I sat on bed when Daisy went off to change, and gently pulled my jacket off, setting it down beside me. With a sigh, I pulled out the bruise cream Glenda gave me. I wanted to just collapse into bed and not think about anything. Placing the cream back in the jacket pocket, I then reached to the pile of clothes on the end of the bed, wincing when I stretched my body too much.
Grabbing my track pants and a loose grey jumper, I slowly changed wincing every time I moved wrong. After what felt like forever, I lay back on the bed, my head sinking into the stiff pillow, more comfortable than it should be. I didn't even hear Daisy come back, I was out in seconds.

This Means War

I sighed in relief as I followed Daisy through the door of our cabin. "Thank God, good job on finding it! I was useless." I said with a small chuckle as I stared at my bed, seeing my clothes laying on the end where I left them. It looked so inviting despite how in left it, I guess I was just that tired that I didn't care anymore.

This Means War

I looked over to where Daisy was pointing and looked it over carefully. In the end, I shrugged slowly and stopped walking. "I guess it won't hurt to try." I said glancing at her. "You're probably right though." I smiled and started towards the cabin.

This Means War

I smiled and managed to hold myself back from laughing this time. "Yeah, you got that right." I said nodding before looking over each of the cabins, almost forcing myself to recognise one.
My legs we're starting to ache from all this walking while I was weak and tired, my body not in the right condition for exercise. I wondered suddenly what the General must think, if he'd heard anything about what had happened. Did he think I was stupid or weak for what I'd let happen?

This Means War

"Uuuh, no? I guess we'll find out when we walk in to the wrong one or the right one." I said as we walked along slowly. I saw Daisy's backpack as she slipped her ice pack into it and I suddenly remembered I didn't have mine. Hopefully it was somewhere in the camp at least. "There's not really anything separating them form each other, so they all look exactly the same."

This Means War

I chuckled and winced, not being able to hold it back. "Good one." I said with a grin as I raised my hand to my ribs. "I guess we go left."
Looking down a path I didn't recognize, to more buildings I didn't recognize, I decided to just go with it. At least we had some sense of direction now.

This Means War

I smiled and tried to not laugh, knowing it would cause me pain. "Probably." Searching around us, it seemed pretty inconvenient that there was hardly anybody around us. "But who do we ask?" The only people I could see were walking away from us, too far to catch their attention and I wasn't going to be able to run after them anytime soon. "Maybe we just follow them?" I suggested.
