PART 3
————————————————————————
Andrew POV

It's been 2 weeks since we left the bunker. Who knows how far behind the kids we are. And his knows where we are going.
"Oi Andrew we are gonna stop for a minute, Lucas's leg is hurting again"
"Sure, I will stand watch"
yuugo and Lucas the only two survivors of the Glory bell group the escaped 15 years ago, my prior enemies who I now consider my friends. Most of my injuries had healed but yuugos left eye was severe damage , I'm surprised he can still see out of it. But Lucas right leg is what I'm really worried about. The explosion caused severe damage to it and from what they told me his leg wasn't always the best. I think it's worst that he actually makes it out to be.
" I thinks that's enough rest for me, we need to keep up with the kids" Lucas slowly stood up.
"Are you sure we could stop here for the night?" Yuugo was also catching on to Lucas's leg being worst than he lets it off to be. He never lets us help him with dressing it, so we can't really know how bad it is.
"No, no , no we need to keep moving to catch up with the kids" Lucas smiled and started walking. Yuugo grabbed his had and look him in the eyes.
"Lucas. Are you sure?"
"Course, love" Lucas kissed yuugo check. A pang in my chest. I miss having someone to care about me like that, with an unsure chance of survival, I'm beginning to miss Peter more and more. I want to hold him in my arms again.
We walked on till night fall where we set up a small camp between some rocks.
Our dinner consisted of stale bread and what ever edible food we found in our travels.
"Andrew, how far till we reach the lions jaw?" Lucas asked as he stared at the sky
"If we stay on course we should reach it by  the morning after tomorrow"
"Good" Lucas lied down while yuugo put a blanket over him. I leaned against the rock and closed my eyes.
I woke up to panicked screams from Yuugo.
"LUCAS WAKE UP!" Yuugo shook Lucas by he shoulders but he remained limp and unresponsive. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT
"IS HE DEAD" I dropped everything and ran over to them.
"HES STILL BREATHING" yuugo was hyperventilating and crying. Yuugo needs help first.
"Yuugo, I need you to calm down, right now that the only way to help Lucas. Ok?"
Yuugo nodded. And I began to count to help his breathing.
"Ok yuugo, let's help Lucas" I put my hand on Lucas forehead and recoiled instantly. He's on fire. Stay calm Andrew, if you freak out so will yuugo.
"I need you to make a cooling cloth" suddenly I noticed something moving on Lucas leg. A maggot...no don't tell me that
I moved my hand and slowly removed Lucas bandages from his leg. The wound was infected. Time just stopped, flies had put it eggs in Lucas legs and they had hatched in to maggots and where eating him alive. There was no way to remove them all by hand. Time restarted and yuugo had returned. Our eyes met and he could tell I was scared. Yuugo dropped the cloth and almost threw up, he was trying to hold it in knowing that he couldn't throw up because food was precious.
"M-maggots?" Yuugo voice broke as her spoke.
"He didn't show us but I recon he new"
"What do we do" petrol
"I don't know" petrol. My mind kept saying petrol. Then a memory of my dad. My bastard dad who left me. I was 4 or 5 and our dog had an infection and maggots had infected it. And dad used petrol to clean them out.
"ANDREW THIS IS NO TIME TO GOT MAD, QUIT SAYING PETROL" I hadn't noticed but I had been repeatedly saying petrol.
"YUUGO U NEED PETROL AND HOT WATER I HAVE AN IDEAR!" I started to remove as many maggots from the wound as I could, but they kept coming.
As yuugo boiled the water I dug threw my bad a small canister of petrol. After a few minutes we where ready. Yuugo sat behind Lucas holding him. We had clean the wound as best as possible. Now time for the hard part.
"Andrew... this will work??" Yuugo looked at me scared.
"I hope so, just hold him tight because this hurts, wait" I grabbed a ragged and folded it and handed it to yuugo.
"Huh?"
"Put this between Lucas's teeth so he doesn't break them" yuugo nodded and held his partner tight.
I poured the petrol on the wound. Lucas might have been out cold but we couldn't tell it hurt. But it worked. The maggots came to the surface and I removed them. As many as I could as a time. It took a while but all the maggots where gone.
Yuugo hugged Lucas while we redressed the wound.
"How did you know that would work?" Yuugo asked as he cradled Lucas in his arms. Kissing his head every so often.
" something my dad taught me"
"Oh... I'm sorry" yuugo looked down, we had talked about my father a bit and yuugo new he's was a scum bag.
"Don't be, if he hadn't of shown me that we might not have been able to help Lucas"
By the evening Lucas's temperature had gone down. And by the next morning he woke up.
Yuugo scolded him for not telling us about his leg. Then he told him how I saved him. "Andrew saved me?" Lucas stared in disbelief.
"Yeah, he used petrol to remove the maggots" yuugo talked and talked.
"Andrew, I've never really trusted you but, I think this proves it, we can really trust you, thank you for saving my life" Lucas smiled at me and I smiled back and the two of them. They are my friends and I will make sure they get to there family and then the human world.
"thank you for trusting me"
