We stay there the rest of the day, deciding to get moving in the morning. The sky is clear and the stars are shinning brightly. I lay on the ground, my arm around Ada who lays beside me. As the night goes on, the colder it gets. I look over at Ada who has her arms around her, beginning to shake,"Why don't we go against a tree? I can zip my jacket around the two of us."
She nods and follows me, sitting against me as I lay against the tree. I zip the jacket around the two of us. After taking my hands out of the jacket's sleeves, I put my arms around her's. I lay my head on top of hers,"Are you comfortable?"
She replys,"Yes, I'm fine....I should warn you that I usually get up at around 5 in the morning."
"Morning sickness?"
She nods,"I'm sorry, but I'll wake you. I can't get out of the jacket without doing it."
"It's fine. I'd rather be up, in case you need me."
Chris and Claire decide to do the same as do Jake and Sherry. Piers lays against a tree as well. Ada and I exchange good nights and fall asleep.

In the morning, we're the first two up. I unzip the jacket, and Ada runs to a bush. Holding her stomach and sitting on her knees, she vomits. I run over, putting a hand on her back and the other on her arm. After she stops, she moves one of her hands, placing it on the ground.
"Are you alright?"
She nods.
"What can I do?"
Her voice is soft,"I'm fine....Could you get me water or something? To get rid of the taste..."
I help her against a tree, then find the berries from earlier on a bush nearby. After grabbing a few of those, I grab a bottle and fill it with water. Giving them to Ada, she eats the berries first. Then, she works her way to the water,"Thank you."
I sit next to her and eat a few of the berries and we share the water as well.
