"You sure you got everything Kait?" Said Ben while collecting the remaining pieces of the tent before they would be heading out.
Kaitlin sat on a rock nearby, she rolled her eyes and sighed. "Christ Ben, this has been the third time that you asked me the same question, YES little brother, everything is in the backpack so stop asking!"
"I rather ask it too many times instead of finding out that we lost something later along the way." Responded Ben a bit more aggravated.
Kaitlin ignored him and looked away towards the sea.
"Jesus, it's like a dice roll with her each and every day. Why can't she act like last night? She was calm, friendly and... Cute." Thought Ben to himself.
After a couple more minutes of making sure they had everything they finally were up for exploring the island further. Ben took the tent and sleeping bag while Kaitlin carried the backpack with their supplies.
They both looked at the dense jungle like area in front of them, now that it was sunny and bright again they could decide where to enter and start their journey. The left side seemed more open and less covered with vines and trees. Ben and Kaitlin looked at each other and nodded, confirming that they had the same idea.
"I'll take the lead little brother." Said Kaitlin with confidence as she stepped forward and trailed off.
Ben quickly followed her as she darted off towards the jungle.
"You sure, I mean, I don't mind walking in fro-" Tried Ben to say before Kaitlin turned around getting more annoyed.
"Ben, we've been in the same scout class for years, we learned the same things and earned the same stupid badges. I think I can handle myself, okay? Now follow me and can it!" She said before turning around again and walking off.
Ben decided to give it a rest, when she acted like this there would be no way to convince her otherwise. Still, for someone reason he felt the need to protect her, to make sure that if something would go wrong that she would be the one ending up unharmed. But he knew she could handle herself, easily, she had always been a role model for him.
And so the siblings moved through the first part of the jungle, the sound of the sea and seagulls were traded in for the ambience of the jungle and all different kinds of its inhabitants. They indeed made the right choice to follow the left side as it was easily traversable, you had your vines, bushes, height differences and other obstacles but it was do-able for them.
"Ben look!" Said Kaitlin out of nowhere.
Ben stopped dead in his tracks and followed his sister's finger that was pointing at something.
It was to the right of them in the more overgrown part of the jungle, up in a tree were three monkeys simply chilling and staring in the direction of the siblings. Two bigger ones and one that Ben assumed to be a newborn tracked their every move.
Kaitlin looked back at him and smiled. "Aren't they just cute?" She said with her girly voice.
"Like I said, like a roll of a dice." Thought Ben again, seeing the other side of his sister appear once more.
"Yes, let's hope it stays with their cuteness. I think we won't be so cheery if an angry boar or whatever shows up on our tracks." Responded Ben.
"Mpff... Way to ruin my happy thoughts little brother... Anyway, let's continue, shall we?" She said before moving on.
Ben followed suit, since the backpack covered her upper body he had to resort to watching her juicy, jiggly ass in front of him. It certainly took his mind off the walk and the heat they were bombarded with.
After a half hour of travelling through the denser part of the jungle they managed to find a more open spot along the way. It was less overgrown and easier accessible but the downside of it was that the burning sun had no problem shining through.
"How about we take a short break in the shadows over there." Asked Kaitlin as she removed the backpack, revealing her glistering, sweaty back to her brother.
"Yeah sure, I think we both can use some refreshments." Answered Jake as he too laid off his equipment.
Just when Kaitlin was about to grab a bottle of water she froze.
"Kait? Something wrong?" Asked Ben as he watched his sister closing the backpack again for some reason.
She threw it over her back and turned her head to Ben. "Follow me, quick!" She said to him before she darted off again. This time faster than before.
"Goddamnit Kait, wait!" Shouted Ben at her as he quickly picked up their other stuff. He followed her as best he could, she was way ahead of him across the open area before taking a left turn into the jungle once more.
Ben turned left when he reached the same spot where his sister had turned left. He could see that another open area was on the other side of the small part of jungle his sister's presumably ran through.
He quickly maneuvered himself through the small streak of jungle before ending up at the other side. "Kait? Where are yo-" Before he could finish his sentence he got hit in the face by a splash of... Cold water?
Out of reaction he dropped their equipment and started to rub the cold water out of his eyes, in the background he could hear his sister's all too familiar giggle.
After rubbing his eyes, he could see his sister standing in a small, but pretty deep stream of water that ran along the side of the streak of jungle they just went through. Her backpack laid on the opposite side of it.
Before he could speak he got hit by another splash of water followed by the same girly giggles.
"Oh you've down it now, you minx!" Shouted Ben with a smile as he joined his sister in the small stream of water to give her a taste of her own medicine.
Kaitlin yelped as her brother returned a huge splash of water that covered her from head to toe. Instead of a bottle of water the siblings had found something else to cool and hydrate them.
Their playful water fight lasted for a little bit before both of them sat down next to the stream.
"Kait, how the hell did you know that there was water here?" Asked Ben as he wrung the water out of his soaked tank top.
"You know, that's why they called me eagle ears instead of eagle eyes at the scouts." She giggled. Kaitlin then adverted her eyes to her brother's naked torso and noticed how muscular he looked, she felt her body tense up for a second, it had been awhile since she saw him like this.
At the same time Ben was staring at his sister's chest too, her bikini was wet which made her voluptuous breasts stand out even more as the fabric clung around them.
Kaitlin looked away first and saw her brother staring at her chest, usually she would have snapped at him but for some reason she remained quiet this time. After a few seconds she started to talk again.
"So yeah, when I was about to pick our bottles out of the backpack I could hear the stream of water very quietly, I wasn't hundred percent sure but it seemed that my intuition was right."
Ben snapped out of his stare and quickly looked up at her with a smile.
"Well, thank god for your super hearing then Sis! You probably know what we must do now, to rank up our survival rate." He said to her.
"Uhu, we follow the stream. See if we can find its source. Usually, things of importance grow fairly close to water so we could have that advantage as well." She answered before taking a sip of the water. "It's clean too!"
"Alright, so, five more-minute break time?" Suggested Ben.
Kaitlin nodded her head. "Sure, but after that I'm leading again, seems that you need your big sister to survive this mess."

The long walk along the stream was a lot more pleasant then what they went through before. The burning sun was hot but the water next to them gave them the opportunity to take a break or cool off every time they wanted to. The jungle was less dense along the stream so they had no problem traversing further.
"We've been walking for an hour or so now, it amazes me how big this island actually is." Said Kaitlin.
"Yeah... Well at least we found a source of water for us, that's the most positive thing that happened to us so far so let's keep our spirits up and hope for more good things to come." Responded Ben.
"I wonder what Mom and Dad are going through now... I can't imagine how they must feel..." Said Kaitlin again.
"Uh... Lost I guess, just how we are! Knowing Mom, she's probably on the line with the military and what not to demand them to search for us." Responded Ben again, hoping to bring their spirits up a bit more with humor.
