Someone collapsed. There's a cannon. I swiftly opened my eyes and looked down. A young girl's body laid on the ground, some blood appearing around on the ground. Sarah.

I cup my hand over my mouth, a small sob escaping my mouth. A fall on my knees. I hear another cannon.

"Come on, Garret. Let's get more allies," Jesse says with a wave of her hand. They leave swiftly.

I feel a hand on my shoulder. I don't move. "She died for me," I say with tears in my eyes. "Why? I'm no better than Jessie."

"No, you're better," I hear Aaron say. I stand up and stare him in the eye.

"Stop lying, I know you're lying!" I exclaim. "Just leave me alone!" I race towards the part of the cave where Ben is. A body lays on the ground. Bernard's.

"He's gone," Ben says with tears in his eyes. I nod even though I know it's not a question and hug him tightly.
