Chapter Four: Terra

Terra woke up on the tree branch, and slowly sat up, trying not to fall off like she did most mornings. As she wiped her eyes, she smiled, "Hhheeeellllllllooooooo!!!!!!" Within seconds after she yelled, the birds began chirping again, knowing she wouldnt hurt them. Terra jumped down and landed on her feet, then glanced around and made sure no one else was there. As she looked around, she smiled at her little camp. A small firepit was infront of her, and the wood was to her left, and so was the herbs and plants she ate. And to the right was the living stuff she might need; Bottles of water she had refilled at the creek, a mirror, ponytails, a couple of shirts and pants, and strips of fabric, just small stuff.
As she stretched, her long blonde hair came down into her face. "I need to wash my hair..." She muttered and rushed off towards the creek. As she layed down on her chest, she flipped her hair in the water and started scrubbing the dirt and dust out of it. As she washed, she thought about what she needed to eat... Berries, and some tree roots, Terra also needed to start a new fire, since it was coming closer and closer to Winter.
As she flipped up, her wet hair sprayed water everywhere. Suddenly, she felt uncomfortable, like someone was watching her. Terra looked around, but saw no one. "Weird..."
