[The ticking bomb that Scarlett had felt in the back of her mind had yet to go off. It was too easy. Too pleasant.
Certainly there were going to be obstacles down the line when they ran out of food, when whoever owned this place returned but...compared to everything that had come beforehand it almost seemed laughable to concern herself over those things so much.
The first two days they had ventured out to get some scope of their surroundings. The garden provided them with food, so long as they maintained that they should be okay. The forest was also teeming with animals...Scarlett had no idea how to hunt, but surely between the two of them they would eventually figure something out.
Scarlett had started drawing them a map and the plan remained to travel each day to fill it out in hopes of one day finding others.
Fortunately other than getting a little turned around for a couple hours once, they had had no problems.
It was the morning of their fourth day here, and Scarlett was stirring from her slumber as sunlight streamed in through a window. She thought it would take getting accustomed to sleeping on a hard floor with just a bunch of blankets, but oddly she found herself having little difficulty...what was more difficult, indeed was waking up.]
Hmmprhf.
[She let out a noise before turning on her stomach to plant her face right into the ground. That was better.]
