It's a beautiful day in Philadelphia, as I walk down a gravel road. Miles and I have to deal with Nora's death. He deals by drinking, as usual. I deal by walking, which helps me think things through. That's why Miles is at the Rebel camp and not me.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak7QGnxzmL
I stop in my tracks in the middle of the road, seeing black boots sticking out from behind a bush. My curiosity gets the best of me, so I go to investigate.
Once in the trees, I see the sight. There are a few dead Militia and the black boots and I saw belong to Monroe. I know what he has done in the past, but he's still Mile's best friend. Plus, he saved me back at the tower.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsoo0AkJ1A
I kneel down at his side and look down at him. He's hurt. His right side is wounded and bleeding. I feel for a pulse on the side of his neck and check his breathing. He's alive. I take my jacket off and use it to apply pressure to his side wound.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq63HHQWCl
"Monroe, it's Charlie. Can you hear me?" I call gently to him, as I look down at him.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwwKlVSWVr
He groans.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDHCvyCha5
I scan for any other wounds on him, but there isn't any. That's a good thing, since the wound I find is deep. He was either shot or stabbed. He needs help and I'm the only help he has right now. I don't have everything I need, so I'll have to improvise.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZut4yAf8s
I take my jacket away to see the damage. When I do, I know it's a deep stab wound.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFwk6UxZzO
Maggie taught me first-aid back at the village. That's how I know what to do and what to look for.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtlOlgrOE5
I apply pressure to his wound with my jacket again.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrIUZ4nbZ7
He lost a lot of blood before I came, and there's still a lot of blood. I need to stop the bleeding as quickly as possible. We're miles away from the closest hospital and the stream is in the middle of the woods here, though. And I won't leave him alone like this. Anything could happen.

When I slowly come to, I blurrily see Charlie at my side and feel pressure on my wound. I realize she's taking care of me.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3UvRtrHmJ
"Charlie?" I whisper.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnBRehUUDP
I'm weak and tired. I have to rest.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBRkUtUWJB
"It's me," she says. She then adds, "You have to stay awake and we have to get out of here."569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqhF6kO1F8
A few minutes later, we start walking at my slow pace, my arm weakly around her shoulders, her arm around me. I'm so weak, I can barely walk. I know it means I've lost a lot of blood.
What feels like an hour later, I blurrily see a camp in view. And as we enter it, my vision starts to go dim and gray.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC2cFrwVm7
"Miles!" I hear Charlie yell, as I start to lose my vision.

I see Miles drinking on a log and yell for him, as I try to hold Monroe up.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw9jEDs2Ua
Just as I almost lose my grip, Miles arrives at the other side of Monroe and helps me hold him up.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GvSr3iAGG
"Miles?" he whispers.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JoAQ6rFNO
"It's me, Bass. I've got you."569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x9kSMsr76
A moment later, Monroe blacks out.

When I wake up, I'm in a Rebel camp in a room. My wound is bandaged and my shirt is on a small table not far from the bed I'm lying on.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4FXemZYDl
I slowly and painfully sit up in bed. When I do, I see that Charlie is asleep in a chair that's across the room. She must be worried or cares or both, which is strange for Charlie, considering she has never cared about me; only Miles. Miles is the only one that has ever cared about me.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRuNBrQY8V
I slowly get out of my bed and silently go over to the table and put my shirt on.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjGNMwz0Y0
I look at Charlie and see her wake up.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqzTfRlMiH
She sees me.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhp2YM348j
"You're awake," she greets me.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHFIqj1Nhi
"I am," I greet back. "I'm a fighter, Charlie," I then add.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBQ1niQV6J
So we all live as happily ever after as we can. After all, my men want me dead and I'm a rebel now.
