Gertrude

I only walked a little ways before stopping. I turned and watched Will, as I expected he had gotten up form bed when he heard me. I was glad, yet a little disheartened when he didn't follow me. I heard a small branch crack. what was that? are we being followed?
It wouldn't surprise me one bit. From the corner of my eye, I could have sworn a dozen times that I had seen someone. But I had never said anything, for fear of upsetting the others. I decided to investigate.
I left my blanket over a stump and climbed up the nearest tree. From there I could clearly see for miles in every direction (mind you it was mostly trees). there it is I saw a very faint light only a few yards from our camp. It was maybe the flicker of one match, but it was enough to give away our stalker's position.
Like a squirrel, I hopped gracefully from one tree to another until I was upon the stranger. it's her! the woman from the market. what does she want with us? I just watched her for what seemed like hours, before she settled and went to sleep.
Once I was positive she was deep in slumber, I slithered down the tree to get a closer look. She had been writing in a book her plans to kill us likely, I thought it wise to steal it and show it to Will.
I carefully pulled it out from her pack (a few yards from where she was sleeping), and darted off towards camp like a gazelle (quickly and quietly).
Will was starting to nod off by the fire, I nearly startled him to death when I poked his shoulder, "I think this may be very interesting to you. we're being followed, and these are her notes."
He was a little stunned, maybe at my slyness, or maybe because he hadn't spotted her himself. Either way he shrugged it off and thanked me. He tossed the book from side to side a few moments before deciding to open it.
