***ALEX'S POV***
The closer that we got to the campsite in the distance, the stronger the smell became. This was definitely where those men were living. However many of them there were, this was where they spent the majority of their time. The horrendous smell was overpowering my senses and making my eyes water.
"Ugh!" I spoke under my breath, trying not to be heard, but I just couldn't hold it in any longer.
"What's the matter, Alex?" Jake asked me with worry in his whispered voice. I could see the concern that was filling his gray eyes. They were burning for me, but more in a way that thought he needed to get vengeance for me.
"That smell. It's horrible." I covered my mouth and nose as soon as I was done speaking. The stench was so strong that I could taste it in the air.
"What smell?" He was looking at me with narrowed eyes, the worry slightly less than it was a moment ago.
