I loaded up the old truck with the tent, sleeping bags, and packed up extra food just incase I wanted to stay longer. Locked up the house and I ran for the truck before the phone rang again. I seemed like it was driving for hours until I saw the old path dad used to drive up when we where kids. I almost missed the turn because of the coverage that had grown through the years. The path was only big enough for one vehicle to go down and after all the years it was hard to get the old truck though.
Placing this backpack on seems heavier now then at home. The walk to the clearing seemed just as beautiful as the first time I was here. After setting up the tent the getting the camping site set up I need to collect wood for the fire pit I made. The sun was setting and I was getting hungry. I was able to collect enough wood to start the fire for dinner but not enough for the cool evening. Walking back into the woods the light from the mood seemed to fade into the top of the trees, and the darkness made it harder to collect twigs. Heading back to the camp, my foot must have taken a wrong step because the next thing I remember falling and rolling down a hill, hitting twigs and tree branches along the way. It seemed like I was rolling and falling down this slope forever, until I came to blunt stop. Looking up at the top trees, I had to laugh to myself a grown women falling down and still holding on to the twigs she has collect.
After I few minutes I reanalyzed it was the laughter that was bring tears to my eyes but my leg was hurting. I looked down to see my pant leg was torn and seeing my own blood socking up my pant leg to a bright red. My head was throbbing, and I knew I must have hit it hard on the fall down. I knew I could not climb back up the hill with this leg but I needed to get back to the campsite. It seemed like I was stumbling with the woods for hours, I was hurt, hungry and tried. As I sat on a log to look around and find my bearings, I noticed a small light shining thought the trees. I pulled myself up slowly and headed to the light. As I came to the clearing of this campsite I knew it was not mine, I saw two women enjoying the light of the campfire. I tried to let them know of my presents but I was unable to say a word, the pain seem to throb through my head, I saw them standing up and staring at me but both of them seem to be so blurry and all I remember after that was seeing the ground greet me.
Waking up I was looking into the face of an angel or what I thought was my guardian angel. The most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen, with sandy brown long hair.
"Hello sleepy head"
"You had us worried here"
"How long have I been here?'
"A couple of hours"
"I need to get back to my campsite'
As I tried to lift my head up things started to spin out of control, my leg seem to send signals to my brain to take it easy and rest. I felt a hand on the back of my head and one gently pulling my back down to rest my head on a the pillow. I had to open my eyes one more time to look at this angel before falling asleep, but.....
My eyes seem to be trying to focus what was in front of me. I could see the sky above me faded by a mesh above me. I pulled myself up remember how the last time the world seem to start spin. Everything seems to fall into place as I heard voice coming from outside the tent opening. I wanted so bad to see the angel that saved me last night. I tried to stand but lost my balance and fell to the ground. As I looked up my, angel was smiling down at me with a smile on her face and one hand on her hip. She was wearing a thin white tee shirt and blue jeans that seem to fit like a glove. The sun seem to shine behind her and I was able to see the out line shadow of her body. She must have felt my eyes moving across her body.
She reached out her hand as I reached for her open hand she guided me to my feet and we walked out of the tent into sun. The sun felt so warn on my face but not as warn as the feel of her touch. I would have walked for hours if she asked me too. She led me to a log to rest my back on as she took the bandage off my leg.
