Claire's P.O.V 

I wince as Elias pulls the guy off me secretly wishing that he would have held to pressure on my now bleeding leg. I hold onto the top of my leg as tight as I can hoping to stop some of the blood flow. Elias ties up the guy and Justin sees the sand around my leg turning red and runs over pulling off his own shirt and tying it tightly around my leg and I gasp when he ties it just a little too tight.

I start to get lightheaded and droop to one side falling asleep but Elias and Justin make sure to keep me awake, safely of course, but pretty soon their attempts don't work and I quickly fall asleep.

Blake's P.O.V

I wake up my arms completely drained of blood I'm guessing from having them above my head for only god knows how long. I look around before tasting a slightly metallic taste in my mouth and I spit seeing nothing.

I try to lick my dry and crack lips but to no avail, since I'm guessing whoever has me here hasn't bothered with giving me water. 

I start to hallucinate and pretty soon I see Claire I jump trying not to think about her since how could she do such a thing to me? I shake my head sending sweat beads everywhere and I cough hoping for some kind of relief from the burning in my throat.

I look around hearing something crawling and squishing something and then all the sudden I see rats. I've never been a big fan of rats so let's just say I screamed as if a little girl saw her mom and dad without her favorite toy.

I swallow again hoping to get something to put out the flames now known as my throat. I shake my head knowing that Claire would've been out of this whole thing by now "I'm not Claire" I say weakly hanging my head and preparing for it all to be over with since now the rats that I see are huge and lumbering over me. 

The door bursts open and at that moment I smile thinking that Claire came to my rescue and I fell asleep due of dehydration.

Elias' P.O.V

I finish tying up the guy and I take care of his cut because mainly he could be of use to us still maybe with finding Blake, whoever that guy is anyways, the guy keeps mumbling something about a guy named Rin coming to save him. I shake my head before I catch a glimpse over at Justin who's frantically trying to stop Claire's bleeding I walk over "Justin we have to cauterize the wound" He looks up at me before I shake my head "We have to otherwise she's going to bleed out" 

I walk over and set my knife in the small fire we have going adding more wood to heat it up. The blade finally turns bright red and I walk over back to Claire ,Justin's eyes widen seeing the blade he shakes his head "No I changed my mind I don't want to do this to her" I shake my head "We have no choice Justin it's either this or she dies" He sits up realizing that and nods holding down her legs keeping her still.

I firmly press the blade against her skin she instantly wakes up screaming and I start to gag at the smell of burning flesh Justin leans over in the sand and empties his stomach which is not much since we haven't eaten in days.

I press down harder against her skin and I cringe at her screaming even more "Justin put something in her mouth to quite her" He sits up looking pale and rips off a piece of clean bandage and puts in her mouth saying "Sorry sis."

After fifteen minutes the blade cools down and I pull away the blade seeing her bright red burnt cut "Well it's sealed shut that's all that matters" I sit back and Justin take the piece out of Claire's mouth laying her down next to the fire and covering her with a blanket.

He comes over and sits by me, we glance at the new guy and shake our heads laying down.
