"Tommy? Tommy-"

He swings at her but Lucia steps back and puts her hands up.

"Woah! Tommy easy, it's just me" she says.

"Jesus, you almost gave me a heart attack, why aren't you at the fire with jess?" He asks

"She said she'd keep the fire burning if i went to check on you and help with the logs" she explains.

"Right-"

As they look at eachother ready to speak again they hear a scream echo through the woods.

"What the hell was that?!" Tommy yells to lucia.

"Was that Jess?" Lucia replies.

Tommy sprints off in the direction of the scream and lucia chases after him.

"Tommy wait!"

He continues running and she follows him.

He stops at a tree and looks over to the campfire, lucia comes up next to him and they both exchange worried glances before looking.

They see jess being dragged across the ground by harvey.

"They found us?!" She whisper-yells.

Tommy gets ready to run towards him but lucia pulls him back.

"No- tommy we can't or all of us will get captured" she says.

"But- jess!-"

"I know, we'll sort out a plan and sneak her out of the settlement, then we'll go away, far away from here." She says

"But- i can't-"

"Tommy we have to!"

They look over and see harvey and some guys carrying her, presumably to the settlement.

"What if-"

"We can't, just wait, please?"

He sighs in defeat and they walk back to the campfire after the coast is clear.

Two hours later

Jess slowly wakes up and finds herself sat in a chair, in a place all too familiar.

"Well you've finally woke up, good to see you again!"

She looks around the room frantically when she hears the chirpy voice, she looks in front of her and sees luna sat in that same chair.

"What happened, what did you do"

"Me? Well i didn't do anything"

Jess feels weird, she can only blink, with- oh shit.

Her eye widens and she feels her face, before her hand lands on a small cloth patch, across her left eye.

"What the-" her breath hitches and she looks at luna.

"What did you do, why do i only have- why is- why-"

"I didn't do anything, however i'm sorry about the mess harvey made, but hey, on the brightside, our doctors cleaned your eye and fixed you with a...more temporary eyepatch, it's just cloth."

"Is that supposed to make me feel any better he took my FUCKING eye!" She stands up and yells.

"Please sit down."

"No! you sick fuck you-"

"Down. Now please."

She sighs and realises fighting won't do her much good with this bitch.
