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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUCVk5KkJD
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxngSQvLVqV
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMEhnPg3XO
"Monroe, it's Charlie. Can you hear me?" I call gently to him, as I look down at him.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQKzDGZMKD
He groans.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKSycfbFAS
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WiLxLnK8B
I take my jacket away to see the damage. When I do, I know it's a deep stab wound.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEckTcnK47o
Maggie taught me first-aid back at the village. That's how I know what to do and what to look for.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4THK2gDocE
I apply pressure to his wound with my jacket again.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMk30oJuUt
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgdof4fS1g
"Charlie?" I whisper.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaRD6BxTKG
I'm weak and tired. I have to rest.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3t5AGlEka
"It's me," she says. She then adds, "You have to stay awake and we have to get out of here."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCboXhHdXcs
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2cqGZqz9P
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdXPmgMrBC
Just as I almost lose my grip, Miles arrives at the other side of Monroe and helps me hold him up.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevpQ3tBTJM
"Miles?" he whispers.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewPJpsHNfw
"It's me, Bass. I've got you."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtusaKFZs3S
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1ZDvNFsxu
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEE1JMY5F3
I slowly get out of my bed and silently go over to the table and put my shirt on.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHiVlijX9t
I look at Charlie and see her wake up.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqxddoSLFf
She sees me.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ou0070TDe
"You're awake," she greets me.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9eF9oCKgO
"I am," I greet back. "I'm a fighter, Charlie," I then add.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVUXPQnbo9
So we all live as happily ever after as we can. After all, my men want me dead and I'm a rebel now.
