Chapter 7

Judah had fallen asleep in the opening of the cave. He had been completely exhausted. He woke up as the sun hit his face. Then he remembered the fire, he had forgot the fire he was meant to watch. Panting for air he sat up.

The fire was all right, it wasn't too big, or too small. Someone sat there watching it for him. Judah walked out of the cave to see who it was.

It was Dinah, she looked up when he came out to her and Judah noticed that she didn't seemed sick anymore.

"How are you?" he asked, there was a risk that she seemed ok even if she was dying and Judah didn't like that thoughts.

"I'm fine, all of us are fine. Except Dan, his arm still hurts." Suddenly Judah discovered that someone came towards him from behind. He turned around and saw his father. Evidently they had came back when they were sleeping… then Judah noticed that the cave was empty. Everyone had already woke up and walked outside. Even Dan was out.

"Dan is fine Judah, he and Joseph is out playing with Millennia" Jacob explained. Judah sank back on the improvised bed. Then he began to tell his father what had happened last night. It felt good to share it with someone.

Some days later their house was rebuilt, when all of them had got their health back and was able to help, that wasn't hard at all. But Judah and the others who had been through everything, had nightmares about it for weeks. They knew they had been very lucky that day, and if they forgot, all they needed was to look at Dan. He wasn't able to use his arm for months.

The snake escaped.
