"So how long are you gonna be... like this?" Damien sighs as he begins to flip the sausages on the pan.

Milo sits on the counter with his leg wrapped in bandages, gently swinging his legs. Which I'm sure he isn't supposed to.

"I don't know, maybe the next couple of weeks." Milo shrugs, "But honestly it's been a week, I think I'm fi- shit!"

"What happened?"

Damien and I quickly look at Milo as he attempts to grab his injured leg, but his hands hover over his leg as his face is scrunched in pain.

"It's fine, I accidentally hit it on the counter." He said, trying to smile through whatever pain he felt but miserably failed.

"And that's why you shouldn't swing your leg." I scolded, sighing a bit as I grabbed plates out of the cabinet.

"Whatever." He rolls his eyes. "It's a battle scar. From my noble deed." He chuckled a bit.
Damien and I stayed silent. We didn't like when Milo risked his life for all of us. I wasn't sure if he was gonna come back alive.

**Flashback**

The bears walks closer to our bush, I felt my heart nearly skip a beat. Damien squeezes my hand tighter, but I was not reassured. Im not sure if we all weren't gonna be bear food.

I hear slight rustling and I look over to see Milo attempting to leave the bush. Damien holds Milo, stopping him from leaving.

What the hell is he doing?!

Milo glances at both of us before snatching his hand away, leaving the bush. I attempted to shout but I covered my mouth to stop any noise from coming out.

Peeping through the leaves I see the bear stand as Milo is not even 6 feet away. The bear roars and I watch Milo sprint off into the woods, the bear immediatly chasing after him.

Damien and I immediately jumped out of the bush.

"What the hell is he doing?!" Damien shouts, his voice was angry but also full of worry and panic.

"We need to go after him!" I demand but I was grabbed by the forearm. Looking over I see that Cameron had grabbed both of us.

"I'm not allowing you two leave, it's dangerous. Im not risking no more lives."

"He's being chased down! We can't just let him die!" Damien shouts as he snatches his arm away, protesting against Cameron's decision.

"No. You all will be put at risk aswell. I thought you guys hated him?" Cameron questioned.

"No. I don't! And I can't lose him!" Damien shouts, and my eyes widened. Shocked at what he said. But is my opinion any different about Milo?

"Please let us go after him-" the bear roars once again and worry spreads through me. "Before he gets hurt or even worse, he gets eaten alive." I beg Cameron.

After a few seconds Milo screams and the worst comes to my mind.

Oh god

Don't tell me that...

Please don't

"God, why is he so stupid! Sacrificing his own life for us!" Damien turns around, "Im going to find him, whether you like it or not." He begins to run off. I snatch my arm away and run off with him.
