The Olive Trees 2

Philip and Rebecca continued through the forest and the calmness still permeated through Rebecca. She closed her eyes and breathed in the clean air.

She exhaled, opening her eyes.

"Okay, you have got to stop doing that," Philip piped from beside her. He was sweating like no man's business.

Rebecca chuckled.

"Are you okay? You're kinda sweating a lot." Rebecca grinned.

Philip gave her a side glance.

"And whose fault is that? Uhn?"

"Quit being a baby."

"I'm not!" A blush crept up Philip's neck.

He turned away from her.

"I think my legs are about to give out from underneath me. How deep is this forest anyway?"

"We're almost there."

Rebecca too faced forward, her eyes turning serious.

She knew that night was going to be an unusual one. She couldn't help but wonder if she would be one of the people whose blood would be spilt on the earth.

Dan was coming.

Rebecca turned slightly to Philip; she watched him as he struggled to keep up.
