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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeirRUaCoGk
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4DtLM1akk
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R0MGUp8wu
"Monroe, it's Charlie. Can you hear me?" I call gently to him, as I look down at him.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrpYT0udw6
He groans.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhgLhzFL73
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLzMT4N1OG
I take my jacket away to see the damage. When I do, I know it's a deep stab wound.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD4HdOCrCK
Maggie taught me first-aid back at the village. That's how I know what to do and what to look for.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NXFU6M8X8
I apply pressure to his wound with my jacket again.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszVk7DFj72
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXloQumtwD2
"Charlie?" I whisper.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0zzMoDwCd
I'm weak and tired. I have to rest.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdn8e51f0b
"It's me," she says. She then adds, "You have to stay awake and we have to get out of here."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FIC9Ovklf
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6PhxsMOeT
"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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ImQYa9tu
Just as I almost lose my grip, Miles arrives at the other side of Monroe and helps me hold him up.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHVisZyCnn
"Miles?" he whispers.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdUACj1USS
"It's me, Bass. I've got you."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfYJCEbtEW
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiysSm8WsjE
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolBPLTrHSS
I slowly get out of my bed and silently go over to the table and put my shirt on.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6D4lIGCo8
I look at Charlie and see her wake up.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxlnlt3int
She sees me.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaspX6mXED
"You're awake," she greets me.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQo9xflwK8
"I am," I greet back. "I'm a fighter, Charlie," I then add.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9jXxeKfCB
So we all live as happily ever after as we can. After all, my men want me dead and I'm a rebel now.
