I felt a presence entering my tent so I quickly opened my eyes from sleep and got up. Jacob immediately put his hand on my mouth and signalled me to be quiet. My eyes widened in horror. He still does not have a shirt on because I was wearing it under the coat he gave me. It was true, it became chilly at midnight. Now, here he was with his half-naked body inside my tent!
I glared at him to warn him to get his hands off me. He slowly did and whispered, "Shh!!! We are being attacked."
I gasped, "What?!!"
He pointed to his ear to signal me to listen. Then I heard hoots and yells that sounded tribal. I looked at Jacob with fear in my eyes. He gave me a faint smile.
"It will be alright. You have me," he said then held my hand. "Where's your sword?" he asked.
I quickly grabbed my sword with my freehand and looked at Jacob again for directions, "What are we going to do?"
"We will run as fast as we can to the boats," he answered and began to move.
I pulled him back, "And the others?"
