upon returning home

[anneoftheisland]

Anne supposed that they weren't so very far from the compound now, but after it had gotten dark none of them had wanted to continue on, particularly after the close call with Joe. So pulling together some fallen branches and leaves and clearing a spot on the ground, they made themselves quite the cozy little campsite for the night. Joe had fallen asleep quickly, probably exhausted from his ordeal, but Anne found she couldn't sleep so easily. She had found Ariel, which was a great relief, but Billy was still out there somewhere. At least she could take some comfort in the fact that she'd been right, and that they hadn't vanished altogether.

"Was it terribly frightening out there?" Anne asked her, as they lay side by side in the lean-to. "I can only just imagine what it must have been like."

Ariel laid on her side facing Anne and reluctantly gave a small nod. "We were attacked by dinosaurs," she admitted, feeling her face heat up because she had been so scared by it.
