she was pouring water on. Amie placed the wet cloth over my face and for a moment, it felt amazing. The heat from my

skin soon heated it and even though it was still nice, it wasn’t as good as it was the first minutes. A little further away,

someone screamed as they fell into the water. Ramses had to have been on the verge of nodding off as the scream

startled him. He lost his balance and Amie reached for him. He deliberately avoided her hand to save her. When he

landed in the water he shook his head.

‘I didn’t listen to my own advice,’ he said. “Good luck.” It was Sam, Amie and I left on our log. It gave us some room to

be able to walk back and forth. The log was broad and relatively easy to keep balance on. Another hour passed, this time

when the signal sounded, no logs were removed. We got a new round of water and we evaluated our situation in the

game. There were fifteen rafts that were still occupied by one or more wolves. We were doing well. Amie reached up her

hand and took my chin to turn my face to look at her. She frowned. Then she looked around me and I followed her gaze

and saw Sam looking at me. He shrugged, I shrugged and turned to face forward again. The two hands on my back

surprised me, as did the firm shove from both of them. I didn’t have time to resist or to correct my balance. I ended up in

the water and once I got my bearings, I turned around and stared up at the traitors.

“I’m sorry, but it was the only way,” Amie said. She looked remorseful. Sam, on the other hand, chuckled.

“Land is that way,” he said and pointed behind me. The water felt amazing as I swam back, but I wasn’t in the right mood

to enjoy it.

‘Oh my,’ my aunt said as I got out of the water. ‘Hugo needs to have a look at you.’ She led me over to a group of

parasols and had me sit down on a beach chair. Hugo came over and put something cold and sticky on my face and ears.

It took the stinging, burning and most of the pain away. I still wasn’t in the right mood to be grateful. I thanked him
