Fire. Fire everywhere. The woods were burning. It was hot and I could barely breathe. I tried to scream, but there was no sound. I tried to run, but I couldn't move. "NIC!", I heard a voice calling me from afar. "NIC, RUN!!"  Mom?

I woke up. A small room.
Where the heck am I?! I tried to get up.

"Don't. You're too weak." That voice sounds familiar. Wait... HER?! Indeed, the girl that had almost killed me before was sitting right next to me!

"Y-You?!" My voice sounded strange.
"Me. You're such an idiot, every kid knows not to eat these fungi!" She took one of the 'mushrooms' I had eaten before out of a pocket she had seemingly removed from my belt.
"You were laying in your own vomit when I found you. Disgusting. And I didn't even get a Thank you.", she added.
"Sorry, I was just surprised. Thanks a lot for saving my life!", I quickly answered.
"Hm. Looks like I have to show you what to eat. At least you didn't try to kill one of my friends again."
"Yes, please!"
"If you help me." Oooh, she's trying to make a deal! Smart girl.
"With what?"
"The everyday stuff. Protecting the animals, repairing things, getting some food..." Alright.
"I can do that."
"Good."

Silence filled the room I had identified as a small tent.

"So...", she started. "In this situation, we will propably have to spend some time together and I want us to be able to call each other if something happens. So, my name is Kara."
"Nic.", I answered, happy that I finally knew her name. Kara... What beautiful name. And what a beautiful girl— Stop it, Nic! Just stop it! I smiled and slowly sat up. "Glad to— Ow!" A sudden, sharp pain in my head forced me to lay down again.
"Is there anything you can do?"
"Y-Yeah. What I wanted to say: Glad to meet you."
"Hm. Oh well, I think I still need to get some food. Here's your gun, if anyone comes and tries to attack you." She put my gun next to the air mattress I was laying on.
"Thank you."
"See you." She left.
"Bye..."
