Snippet #1489456

Tide lifted her head to scan the tree-line again as Kaylee told her her name and her district. She was relieved that the girl had accepted her offer of help and began to move sideways low to the ground, her back facing the ocean. As they dropped down over the crest of the dune, she saw movement near the forest and panic began to seethe in her stomach " Incoming!" she whispered sharply to Kaylee under her breath as she nodded to the partially concealed boarder of the trees."I'd rather not fight, not with that wound of yours" she said, glancing with concern at the arrow still protruding from Kaylee's shoulder. She grabbed the girls hand and pulled her along, increasing their pace. She pulled a dagger from her belt and held it in the defensive position along her forearm as they moved towards the estuary. She needed to stay near the ocean but cover was vital if they didn't want to get dropped by a dagger or an arrow. The sound of the rolling waves began to grow louder as they moved into the estuary diminishing Tide's ability to hear if they were being tracked.
