Amelia Hale POV.
Then I am torn from my hopeful thoughts as the air is filled with shrilling screams that sends chills down my spine and has left a gut wrenching feeling in the pit of my stomach as fear surfaces within me. I take a quick look at Lilly who is thankfully still sleeping before I grab my knife and rush outside. My eyes dart around as people emerge from their huts full of fear as I look at Roman who looks shaken and Jake has rushed out with his knife running towards the water, towards the screams. "Ian!, we need you now" Roman bellows harshly as he starts running after Jake. My eyes snap to Erika and shout for her to watch Lily and she gives a horrified nod before I sprint after them a moment later. We all come to a dead halt and I'm taken back as the blood drains from my face as I see Lindsey on the ground cover in blood clutching Rudys limp body and her cries get heavier and more aggressively.
She looks up at me and her eyes are red as the tears don't stop she tries to catch her breath as she tries speak. "H-he wanted me to meet him here to talk before bed, but I was mad at him. I hesitated on coming....I should of came sonner, I'll never know what he wanted to tell me" she sttuers brittlely heartbroken as the words pour out of her full of regret as she cries hytracally closing her eyes ashamed. Ian eyes locked on Rudys bloody lifeless body and slowly shaking his head that he cant save him.
I rush forward as the guys remain frozen with devisated looks on their faces. I kneel down and wrap my arms around her shaking arms with tears burning my eyes as they fall.
"No, this isn't your fault okay he wouldn't want you to blame yourself" I say firmly yet my voice shows remorse. Searching for the words to bring her any comfort even a little. I put my hand on her head lightly rubbing it. She then turns her head and burys her face in my chest and her hands clamp down around the fabric of my shirt so tight her knuckles turn white. I continue hugging her "I'm sure he would of told you that he was lucky to have met you and there is no other place he would have rather been, because the way he would look at you with nothing but crazy stupid love all over his face and whenever someone saw it would know how he felt for you... her cries softend but don't stop."I'm so sorry Lindsey" I declare struggling to steady my voice, while my eyes look up fighting back tears as my heart aches to look at her crumbled face. My eyes then look to Jake, Roman and Ian and they look like the sight is literally inflicting physical pain on them. I hold her as her cries continue to echo through me like shocks. Damn I'd do anything to stop this dreadfull aching within my heart and I barley knew him...
