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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSeIU6bfLR
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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugGX7GR5PU
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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO79hMILh1
"Monroe, it's Charlie. Can you hear me?" I call gently to him, as I look down at him.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTvEuQkfd7
He groans.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMlwSgEBQ6
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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdQWqtAwdA
I take my jacket away to see the damage. When I do, I know it's a deep stab wound.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSogAwHTQcC
Maggie taught me first-aid back at the village. That's how I know what to do and what to look for.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUMxOvEoPB
I apply pressure to his wound with my jacket again.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpIwP2Q9Ej
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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijjQ1X2oJk
"Charlie?" I whisper.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPltm7L93F8
I'm weak and tired. I have to rest.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjzt1mJC3d
"It's me," she says. She then adds, "You have to stay awake and we have to get out of here."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaykJPLcdm
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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh2zB7p2vt
"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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWtzxmiygr
Just as I almost lose my grip, Miles arrives at the other side of Monroe and helps me hold him up.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHLo9tcc0K
"Miles?" he whispers.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tFVqW1CJJ
"It's me, Bass. I've got you."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoJP9LZAHT
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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R3C1dVTJs
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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwFNK8K2rl
I slowly get out of my bed and silently go over to the table and put my shirt on.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77s8OwQE3t
I look at Charlie and see her wake up.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkd8cBYpeA
She sees me.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQXC6tZXUd
"You're awake," she greets me.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEbUv5nGvg
"I am," I greet back. "I'm a fighter, Charlie," I then add.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1czNsbtbd
So we all live as happily ever after as we can. After all, my men want me dead and I'm a rebel now.
