~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I need help, Heidi," Toni says softly trying to get to her feet.
"Honey, don't try to stand by yourself," Heidi replies getting the makeshift crutch they had fastened for Toni after she sprained her ankle during the two day trip to the caves. She hands it to her and helps her stand up.
"Thanks." Toni wanders off hobbling around. Heidi sighs as she watches her. She was glad they were able to find a better place to make shelters, but she missed the beach, she was sure Toni did too, and she wasn't sure it was worth Toni getting hurt. She shakes her head. This was crazy. If moving further inland meant a better chance of survival then of course it was worth it, Toni would heal. She just hated seeing her in pain.
The frame of their "house" was nearly finished. Heidi had asked them to build it close to Rachel's, partly because of Toni, partly because she wanted to be close enough to still help Rachel. She figured if they were probably going to be there awhile they might as well make the most of it and get all the shelters and other buildings built.

Toni wanders a little bit away from the frame of what would be hers and Heidi's shelter. She leans against a tree and closes her eyes, holding back the tears like she found herself doing so often lately. Her ankle hurt but that wasn't what she was most upset about. She hated being here on the island. I wish we could have at least stayed by the beach, she thinks to herself ruefully.
She stands there for awhile, thinking about everything that had happened in the past couple months. She didn't know how long she was there. "Toni! Come on back," she hears Heidi call after awhile. "Coming," she calls back. At least she had Heidi, that would console her enough for now.
