The days went by quite quickly but on Thursday 14th May something terrible had happened.
Mia - content and joyful - was sat on a log making photo frames out of sticks. She was waiting anxiously for James as he ventured off a while ago. To Mia's relief James came back. He was carrying a pair of foxes in one hand and in the other a piece of rope. He looked weary so Mia took over preparing the food while James sat down.
" So how did the scavenge go?" Mia piped up.
James didn't answer. Immediately he got up and said, " I need to find something else for tea, I will be out for a little bit."
" Where will you be?"
" Just round the corner, by the trash bins."
Mia looked at him, puzzled.
" I saw some fresh meat there."
Mia silently whispered to herself that he was making up excuses. But she let him go anyway.
" If I'm in trouble," he began, " I will shout for you three times."
" Why??" Mia asked, confused.
" Don't worry I'll be fine!" he assured her. Then he scrambled out of the hole and disappeared.
Mia couldn't help but worry about James. What if he knew something bad was going to happen? What if he is taken away or worse? Suddenly there was a loud muffling sound. Mia was sure it wasn't James'. Just then she could hear a choking sound. Mia's heart pounded like an endless drum. Then she heard James call for her.
" Mia, Mia HELP!!!!" James shrieked. Mia ran as fast as she could. But she was too late. James was lying on his back and clutching his stomach. Mia fell too her knees. She could just about hear him breathing but it was bearly enough to keep him going. James groaned. Mia removed James' hand and saw a terrible sight.....
