Chapter 4 "Hurt and helping"
[(Y/N)'s POV]
"I'M GOING TO HELP ONE WAY OTHER ANOTHER! WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" you yelled at Wilson.
Wilson pinched the bridge of his noes, "(y/n)," he spoke calmly, "Your injured right now, it wouldn't be wise for you to do much of anything".
You groaned, "Common! There's gotta be something I can do! Like, ugh... picking berry bushes! It's not like I'm asking to cut down some trees, Wilson! I don't care if I'm hurt or not, I need to pull my own weight".
Wilson sighed as he crossed his arms, "I don't know, I would rather you just stay here and rest."
Sighing and crossed your arms you narrow your eyes at Wilson, "Look, I can tell you've done everything so fair on your own, and that's all well and good, but it's not just you here right now. Even if I cannot do much, I'm going to help. And I won't take 'no' for an answer".
The man let out a defeated sigh, knowing your words held truth to them, "Alright, I have a garden and some berry bushes in the back, you can harvest them, alright?"
Smiling you nod as you head to the back.
But to your annoyance, the garden was fairly small, and berry bushes where quick work, so it took you only about 10 minutes, even being hurt, to finish. once you finished putting what you had gathered into the ice box, you started looking around to find something else to do. This is when your eyes landed on your backpack, so walk over to it so you could sort what was in it and put it into the chests.
You open it up to see what had been in there, some sticks and grass, food that was now rotted, a few rabbit traps... and another thing? Something new was in your bag, that wasn't in there before. Curiously you grab it, not being able to tell what it was, it was soft, like a plushie. You pull it out, a smile quickly painted your face, your owl plush. You didn't question about where it had come from, you where just happy to have something of great value of yours again. You look back at your bag, the rabbit traps where just begging to be set... It wouldn't hurt to just check for a few near by rabbit holes... right?
With three rabbit traps you quickly get up leaving Wilson's base, looking for rabbit holes. You quickly found 2, but you wanted to place down the last one first. You grab a carrot from your pocket, and bait the trap, with luck a rabbit was close by. Looking up at the sky, you saw you didn't really have time to wait and find out, it was becoming dusk.
Cursing under your breath you rush back to camp, seeing one of your traps had caught a rabbit. Picking up the trap you empty it, finding a rabbit inside, proud of your work you carry the rabbit back after setting the trap down. It was maybe usable at least one more rabbit.
But as soon as you get back you see a frantic Wilson. He was pacing back and forth, like he messed something up big time. Slowly you walk up to him, "Ugh, Wilson...?"
He turns to you breathing a sigh of relief, "Where were you? Oh, my goodness, miss (y/n) you had me frantic! I came back after getting fire wood, sticks, grass, silk, and spider glands, to not see you in the garden, or in the base!! Where were you?" he asked looking at you, and spotting the rabbit. "Y-you set traps? But I haven't made any in a wile a-and-"
"They were in my backpack, the one I had on when I was attacked by that hound. I had three, I set all of them up not too fair way. Your welcome". you snap.
"I-I... thank you. You just had me worried is all", Wilson said as he looked way from you.
Sighing, you snap the rabbit's neck, and hand it to Wilson, "I'm going to sit by the fire pit. I'm, not tired". and with that, you make your way over to the fire pit, as Wilson starts making dinner.
