Bab 233: All Night Long

Keira stared at the fire not far from her as she was seated inside their shelter. She was watching Zach throw more dry branches into the fire to keep it burning. They just finished eating their dinner. Zach told her that they should keep the remaining canned food in reserve, in case of emergency, and they should first eat whatever he would catch from the sea or get from hunting inside the jungle. 

Earlier in the afternoon, Keira had already written a massive SOS sign on the sand using a large tree branch in order to get rescued. She made sure to write the sign on the highest and driest part of the beach so it wouldn't be washed away easily by the beach waves. But at night, fire would be the only signal that would let the rescue party know where they were located.

"Do you think they will find us soon?" she suddenly asked as she hugged her knees. She was thinking of her parents. They must be worried sick about her and Zach right now.
