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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr01wPiLjsN
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdXFtZ6kp2
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mSub0OgI6
"Monroe, it's Charlie. Can you hear me?" I call gently to him, as I look down at him.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbyctcshyc
He groans.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip6TrTd63b
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUU3oG3QYL
I take my jacket away to see the damage. When I do, I know it's a deep stab wound.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkPvFMy4Kb
Maggie taught me first-aid back at the village. That's how I know what to do and what to look for.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDQXtUzy1P
I apply pressure to his wound with my jacket again.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAemefWgUJ
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHK9qavL8t
"Charlie?" I whisper.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReN7q9zJmE
I'm weak and tired. I have to rest.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3UExjGUIN
"It's me," she says. She then adds, "You have to stay awake and we have to get out of here."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWtBFyhJEh
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VmjCfcfch
"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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE6oS3xWlT
Just as I almost lose my grip, Miles arrives at the other side of Monroe and helps me hold him up.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p4lNjsu4U
"Miles?" he whispers.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorvE5JEGe7
"It's me, Bass. I've got you."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA7X9DIvOC
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX1XHKiwdT
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6aOYTFgec
I slowly get out of my bed and silently go over to the table and put my shirt on.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMKbhvkzHg
I look at Charlie and see her wake up.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIblZ2PuV9a
She sees me.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ741BGD5GXa
"You're awake," she greets me.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwOceaYLUv
"I am," I greet back. "I'm a fighter, Charlie," I then add.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz1ScbHipg
So we all live as happily ever after as we can. After all, my men want me dead and I'm a rebel now.
