Bear, who was awake by now, was sitting up against a rock and wondering where on earth his cousin and Alexis had run off to, when he heard someone screaming. He turned quickly to see Alexis running toward him, screaming like a Banshee. He got up as quickly as he could and called out to her, "Alexis, here. Shhhhh. Someone may hear you!"
