~ Happy and Unprepared ~
I had been walking for hours. So far, I wasn’t doing too bad. I had plenty of time, food, water, and sleep. I enjoyed the fresh air after being stuck in a gunpowder city. I looked for soldiers, sure, but I was extremely proud of how I had handled myself with Werner, so I wasn’t as worried as I should have been.
I stopped every couple hours to eat a bite, drink some water, and take a rest in the shade before starting out again. I didn’t know how close I was, but I had been walking for about thirty miles. I still had 205 miles left to go, though I wasn’t worried. I had walked thirty miles, no problem.
Little did I know, I should have been worried. Very worried.
