"Are you okay?" Rowan sits next to me and I nod
"Yeah, I think" I pant, Rowan takes my hands and helps me stand up. I can walk but my leg bleeds too quickly. Rowan picks me up, arm under my back and knees, bridal style. Two. I killed two more. "Thank you, Rowan"
"Of course" He says gruffly and we break through the clearing.
"Oh thank god" Lindsay sighs and Rowan puts me down. Beck hugs me tightly
"I thought you-"
"I'm fine" I say and he pushes my blood stained hair out of my face.

"Her leg is cut, on her thigh" Rowan says and Beckett immediately starts undoing my pants.
"Dude" I laugh, I pull down my pants to my knees and sit down. Lindsay looks at the cut, it's a deep cut and can get infected quickly. Lindsay pours some liquid on it and my skin sizzles, I groan. She wipes and wraps my leg with a white cloth. I pull up my pants and sigh

"Thank you" I say and she smiles at me. I look at Rowan, his face is bloody mostly from his nose.

"We should move camp, if we heard the yells someone probably did" Beck says and Rowan nods, starting to gather his and Lindsays stuff. We manage to fit everything in our bags and I kick our small fire out. We decided to walk deeper into the forest for more cover, plus being surrounded by trees puts Lindsay at ease, I can't say the same for me.

"What's it like in 7?" I ask and Beck shakes his head, nudging my arm "kay, sorry" I mutter and we walk in silence. I hear a snap and Lindsay lets out an ear splitting scream, she's pulled into the air by her ankle and I grab a knife

 "Lindsay" Rowan yells and my eyes flick around, my back pressed against Becks. But Lindsays cries are too loud for me to hear anything, something wet falls on my forehead and I wipe my head. My finger tips are stained red. 

"Rowan, crouch down. Beck you catch her" I say and Rowan nods, fear written on his face. He crouches down and I put one foot on his shoulder, I hold my hands and find my balance. I breath out and Lindsay sobs

"Lindsay, I'm here"

"Y/n" She cries and Rowans hands shift to just above my knees.

"I'm going to let you down, Becketts going to catch you okay?" I say calmly and she holds my hands

"Okay" She nods quickly. I look at her ankle, a metal clamp is in her ankle. I grimace and cut the rope just above the metal jaws

"Ready?" I ask and she nods. I cut the rope and she falls, no thud. I look down and Beckett holds her. I crouch down and Rowan grabs my waist, lowering me down.

"Thank you" He says, turning me so I'm facing him.

"Of course" I say, taken back by how sincere he is. He smiles softly, my breath hitches and I can feel a blush bloom on my cheeks. Lindsay yells and I'm snapped back to the harsh reality.

"Can I get some help?" Beckett asks angrily. We crouch down and I hold Lindsays hands, her head in my lap.

"We need to pull" Rowan says and the boys pull the metal clamp apart. I grab some cloth and stuff it in Lindsays mouth so her screams are muffled

"It's okay, it's almost over" I push her hair back and wipe her tears. They finally get the clamp off and I pass Rowan the cloth and cleaner

"This isn't' enough, Y/n" Beckett says and Rowan shakes his head

"She's fine" Rowan mutters and wipes her ankle.

"We have to go" I say, standing up. I grab my bag and Lindsays, Rowan carries her and we walk until we find a large cave. 

"I'll check it" Beck says and goes in. I stand guard, knives in hand. "It's good" He says and I'm the last one in. I set up my sleeping bag for Lindsay, using my jacket as a pillow. I set her next to the fire, with food and water at her side. Rowan lays her down and I prop up her ankle so she doesn't lose as much blood. I breathe out. I dig through her bag and find an extra hair tie, I put my hair in a bun and slowly unwrap her ankle. We're running low on water so I send the boys to find some.
