Kami moaned. Something had awakened her, but what. She opened her eyes and squinted at the three dark figures at her feet. Were they natives of this place? She rubbed her eyes and looked again. One of them seemed to have three legs. Aliens? Surely not. She sat up and stared until her eyesight cleared up. No it wasn’t aliens, but a close second. It was the guys.

“What do you guys want?”

Jamie knelt down so he was eyelevel with her and took her hand.

“Are you girls alright? You must be starving. Come one let’s go back to the camp and we’ll fix you something to eat.”

Kami stared at his hand a little and started grinning.

“What? What’s so funny? Don’t tell me you have gone delirious with sunstroke.”

Kami burst out laughing, her laughter waking the other two girls. Kaylea sat up like a puppet whose strings were pulled. Alexandra tried to sit up, but her arm wouldn’t support her.

“Oh crap, my arm’s asleep. I can’t get up.”

Mark bent forward and stuck out his hand. Alex slapped it away and glared at him.

“Don’t you dare come near me.”

Oliver leaned on his stick and stuck out his hand to Alex. Alex stuck her tongue out to Mark and grabbed Oliver’s hand. He lifter her up gently and pulled her under his arm. Kami grabbed Jamie’s hand and got up as well.
Mark looked at the other two guys and then reached for Kaylea.

“Let me help the lady get up.”

Kaylea smiled sweetly at him and took his hand.

“It’s about time.”

She said and got to her feet.
