"You were raped " Simon said,breaking the silence

I felt violated. I felt disgusted. Was it that guy or them?

"Who?"I asked them

"It do-"I cut him off

"I said who!"I yelled at them

"The guy you saw on the floor" Eli told me,looking at me with pity

I felt dirty. I began to cry. Why did I have to lose my virginity to some random guy. I got up,but fell. I crawled away from them and threw up by a tree. Eli rubbed my back as I continue to throw up.

"Are you okay?"He asked me

"No,I'm not " I snapped at him

"Sorry"He said,sad

"I'm didn't mean to snap at you"I told him,staring at him

"I know " He told me,giving me a small smile

"Here " He told me as he passed me a water bottle

"Thanks"I told him as I drank some and spit it out then drank the whole bottle

Eli was looking behind him. I looked behind him and saw Simon,sitting there. He hasn't moved. I looked down and at Eli.

"Is he okay?"I asked him,looking at Simon

"I never seen him like this"He told me

I looked at the floor and played with the dead leaves.

"You need to get some sleep " Eli told me

"No,you and Simon need to get some sleep. I'll take the first watch " I told him

"No,it's fi-"I cut him off

"You and Simon took care of me,so I want to take care of y'all " I told him,looking at him

"Fine"He told me

He helped me up. We walked over to the camp and Simon looked up at us. I sat down by my things and Eli went over to Simon and whisper into his ear. Simon looked at me then at Eli. I grabbed my bow and arrows out of my backpack. I kept an eye on Eli and Simon as they got comfortable and went to sleep. I looked around my surroundings and when I didn't hear or see anybody close by us. I got the diary,I stole from that man and read.

'January 2052,

Life has been amazing. Lilith is pregnant with our first child after years of trying we were finally blessed with a child...'

I continue to read,but what got me was his daughter was only a teen when she got killed.

'November 18th,2069

I later discovered that my wife was pregnant. They kept me as their hostage. They took Lilith's and Paige's body with them to torture me and they did. At their hideout,they broke me by hurting my wife and daughter,that were dead. It hurts seeing them being torture even though they were dead. I still remember what they did to them. They cut Lilith's stomach open and they took something out of her stomach,a fetus.'

A twig snapped. I grabbed my bow and arrow and aim the arrow to where the sound was at. I lowered my arrow when I saw it was Simon. He looked scared as he held his hands up.

"What are you doing up so early?" I asked him

"I had to pee " He told me,I nodded as he left and placed my bow and arrow on the ground

I grabbed the diary and continue to read

'A fetus! Our child! I will never forgive them! I was disgusted when they tried to make me eat my own child. I just couldn't,so they stab me mupitle time and burned me while one of his men ate my child. I'm surprised,I'm still alive. I just wished Lilith and Paige were with me.'

I closed the diary and looked at the ground. He lost everything he loved. I'll help you revenge your family,but I don't know who to kill. I should of buried him. That's to late now,but I don't care. He needs a proper burial. I stand up,but slowly and carefully. After I succeed in standing up,I walked towards a bush with my bag and did my business. I'm glad I have toilet paper,there was no way I'll be using leaves. After I was done, I grabbed my things and looked at Eli and Simon.

"I'll be back" I said

I walked back to my hideout, where he was at. When I finally got there, it was probably noon. I have to hurry and get back before it gets dark. I began digging. I finally finished digging his grave, it was getting dark and I was starting to get scared and I never get scared, but since I got raped from that guy. I'm afraid to be by myself now. I made sure he had his diary with him and the jewelry I found in his backpack. I put his wedding ring on his finger and placed the picture of him and his family in his shirt pocket. I threw dirt on him after I lowered him in the hole and placed his things with him. When I was done burying him, I prayed for him and walked back to the hideout. When I was walking back, I looked around carefully for any signs of people. A hand was placed on my mouth, I started to move around, but he kept his hold on me.

"Where were you?" I knew that voice

"Mmhhh!"I said as I tried to turn around and look at him

"You want me to let you go?"He said,I nodded

"I don't know if I should?"He said,I stomp his foot

"Okay. Okay. Violent " He told me as he let go of me

I looked at him and punch him.

"Don't you ever handle a girl like that ever " I told him as I grabbed my things

"You still haven't answer my question " He told me

I turned around

"And what was your question?"I asked,raising a eyebrow

"Where were you?"He told me,crossing his arm

Damn,looked at his muscle flex. Ryan,Focus!

"I was back at my camp site " I told him as I walked back to the hideout

"Why?"He asked me

I turned around and looked at him

"You aren't my dad or boyfriend and I don't need to tell you everything" I told him as I turned around and continue to walk

"We'll see about that" I heard him

You won't be my boyfriend,Simon. I promise you.
