Don't Judge a Book by its Cover 4

"Heeeeyyy" Sarah called with a wave.

The two people jumped, hands immediately going to weapons. Though they quickly relaxed when they saw Sarah as she shouted "Hey! I'm lost. Can you help me?"

The pair looked at each other, then back to Sarah and began to wander towards her.

They kept coming until they were so close they were invading her personal space, she felt herself almost being repelled backwards, until her butt finally hit a rock behind her.

Sarah was beginning to feel uncomfortable, she had nowhere to go.

The woman finally spoke.

"So, you're lost?" said the woman in a tone that almost felt like she was being interrogated.

The man took a step forward, further putting himself in her bubble.

He raised his arm, causing Sarah to flinch, and slapped it down on her shoulder.

Sarah tensed up, he had her firmly grasped in his hand.

"Just checking" he said, still not letting her go.

Sarah gave a confused look.

"That you're real" clarified the woman, "a lot of weird stuff happens in the jungle"

This didn't really clear up Sarah's confusion.

Seeing that the conversation was getting nowhere, the man spoke in a caring tone "would you come with us? we have a camp nearby"

Sarah batted her lashes at the man and sheepishly replied "Yes, please"

"Ooh, she's polite to, you could learn a thing or two Hermud" the woman said, elbowing the man.

The man let go of Sarah and, ignoring the woman's remark, gestured Sarah to follow.
