"aha, we'll need all of it for more than one meal," jaclyn set them down on the ground, keeping a banana and started to eat it, having peeled it already.

"I guess so…" Sammy grabs a peach and an apple and took a big bite. She didn't realise how hungry she was.

"Yeah, we probably should find shelter at one point," she note, taking another bite of the banana.

Sammy looks around, curious to find somewhere to sleep. "There's a cave over there."

"Okay, that sounds like a reasonable place to spend the night," Jaclyn agreed, heading over.

It starts to get dark and Sammy begins to grow tired. She heads to sleep when she hears a noise come from deep in the cave. She jumps, "What was that?!"

"I don't know," Jaclyn instinctively went into a position where it'd be easiest for her to start moving quickly. "But be prepared to run."

"Well great! I just wanted to sleep!" As those words left Sammy's mouth they heard a great roar. "On second thoughts, let's run!"

"Yeah, that's why I warned you…" she took off sprinting, but stopped by a bush, waiting for Sammy. "Come on!"

Sammy tries to run, but she can't. She feels an urge to continue into the cave to find the source of the sound. She started running, but into the cave instead of out.

"What are you doing??" Jaclyn shouted after Sammy. She sighed, and ran into the cave along with Sammy.

Sammy keeps running until she comes across a large furry animal. It seems injured.

"Holy cow, what on earth is that?" Jaclyn exclaimed, skidding to a sudden stop.

"Shhh! You will aggravate it!" Sammy pats the animal gently.

"What, I'm going to aggravate it? It's scaring me!" she exclaimed, but she lowered her voice.

"It's hurt okay? Give me five minutes." Sammy tries to find the hurt point.

Jaclyn sighed, but she stayed silent after that and watched Sammy.

Sammy finds a deep scratch mark on the bears stomach. "Jac, can you go and find some tea tree leaves?"

"Tea tree leaves?" she asked, confused. "Did you see any nearby?"

"Just go! She's in pain." Sammy waves Jaclyn out of the cave.

"…okay…" Jaclyn moved out into the small clearing that surrounded the mouth of the cave and looked around. There! In the far distance there was a small tree that seemed like they had the shape of tea tree leaves. She ran towards it, hoping she was right. Ugh, nope. So close! But the next one, that was definitely it. She plucked a few, and ran back towards Sammy, panting with effort.

Sammy comforts the poor creature, then Jaclyn returns with the leaves. "Thank god!" She takes them and lays them over the wound.

"Wait, so how do you know it won't eat you as soon as its given the chance?" and as if on cue, the creature yawned, not a big one though. however, it did expose some of its very sharp teeth, and jaclyn flinched, instinctively.

"If it tries, we run. Simple." Sammy says it quite calmly as she tends to the creature.

"How can you be so calm?" she asked. her stress levels were rising by the second.
