"You got the prepper stash?" Eli asked Wheaty as the engine hummed and the vehicle sped down a dirt road.

I'm assuming we were heading to the Wolf's Den.

"Yeah. The Deputy was supposed to get it, but..." Wheaty couldn't finish, nearly choking [that's what she said] on his words. "But..."

"I know, Wheaty. I know... Such a goddamn tragedy." Eli growled and I could hear him punch the steering wheel. "When I find Alice and Jacob, I swear to fuckin' God, I'm gonna kill 'em both. They done this. They killed the Deputy."

"How do you know for sure?" Wheaty questioned incredulously.

I was beginning to smother under this damn blanket, but I had no other choice. It was quickly becoming more and more difficult to fucking breathe.

"They both were spotted looking for Faith." Eli replied hastily, while he jerked the wheel left, causing me to almost crash into the door. "They're armed to the teeth and searching for the Wolf's Den. They killed the Deputy and now they're gonna try and kill us. But not on my fucking watch."

"Is that why you're driving so fast?" Wheaty asked as Eli rounded a curve.

"Yeah. Us and the Whitetails are next on their kill list. We have to warn the others immediately." Eli stated. "Once Alice and Jacob get to the Wolf's Den, they'll have all of Jacob's goddamn Chosen and Judges and we'll all be dead, Wheaty. Dead. Once we make it to the Wolf's Den, we'll warn the others, and get the fuck out of there. Understand?"

"Where will we go?" Wheaty inquired, his voice cracking in fear. "We have no where to go."

"There is no other choice here." Eli replied sternly, while he sped up. "We can't fight them... It's fighting a losing battle. Our people will all die, Wheaty. We're nowhere near as strong as Jacob's army. Yeah, the number of Whitetails go up each and every day, but Jacob's army has far more. We can't keep up with him..." Eli sighed. "We're just gonna have to retreat or they will kill us all... But I figured out a plan... It may not be the best, but it's something... Anyway, you and Tammy take the prepper stash and lead the Whitetails to a safe place; it doesn't matter where, just get them somewhere safe. Then, tell me where you are and send me your coordinates. Tell me your exact location, while I stay behind at the Wolf's Den with Faith hostage. I'm gonna wait for Jacob and Alice to come and I'll do my damn best to kill 'em even if I die in the process. If I make it out and kill them, I'll meet up with you guys."

"What?! No!" Wheaty screamed. "We're not leaving you behind to Jacob's fucking army! We need you! The Whitetails need you! You are NOT going to sacrifice yourself or I swear to fucking God!"

I smirked, knowing we were going to win this war easily...

"Listen to me, Wheaty!" Eli yelled in frustration. "Just do what I say when I say it."

"No. No. No. I'm not letting you die today." Wheaty stated. "Hell no."

"This conversation is over." Eli growled with authority. "The plan is finalized, Wheaty. My mind is already made up. I don't give a damn what you think. You and the rest of the Whitetails are going through with it whether you guys like it or not."

A few minutes went by [the rest of the car ride was silent] and Eli hit the brakes and turned the engine off.

Faith, I'm coming for you...

—Flashback—

I cupped Faith's face, staring in awe at her and her beauty. Subconsciously, my fingers caressed her cheeks lovingly as we laid in bed together with our feet intertwined. Her blue eyes sparkled at my touch and under my gaze.

"What are you doing?" Faith asked, giggling at me.

"Memorizing your face." I responded without thinking and blushing at my bluntness.

Faith continued to laugh. "Why though?"

"You never know what tomorrow may bring
The woman lyin' next to you could be a memory
I've idolized, I've memorized your face
Just in case, I need it last me eternity
It's a shame that it ain't enough for me...
Life's for the livin', I won't be givin' up
'Cause you taught me how to, you taught me how to love
Take all I cherished, beat me 'til my body's numb
But life's for the livin', I won't be givin' up
On you, on you
On you, on you" I sung softly, staring into her ocean eyes. I stopped singing suddenly and mumbled a quick and low "I love you." Then, I gave her forehead a swift chaste kiss.

"What? You really love me?" Faith questioned, causing me to freeze and my heart to stop beating for a second.

Inside, I began to panic. "Uhhhhh... W-Well, I...."

"I love you too, Al." She smiled brightly up at me; our eyes held nothing but love and adoration for one another as we stared into each other's eyes.

"I could lay here all day with you."

"Me too."
