John's POV
I sat up, holding my head as a groan unknowingly tumbled from my throat. I blinked a few times to clear my vision, and when it cleared, I saw I was laying on a cot. There was a wool blanket over me and a feather stuffed pillow behind me. I looked around and grew confused as to where I was. I slowly got off the cot, standing up. I noticed clean clothes sitting atop the wooden chest next to the bed. There was also another bed, directly across from the one I was in. I was still confused but I changed, putting on the clothes anyways. With the clothes, my pistol and dagger where right next to them. I attached them to my belt and stepped out of the tent. I examined the area, the tent was right at the edge of a large clearing in the middle of the woods.
"You're awake." A voice said from beside the tent. I jumped and whipped out my pistol, aiming it towards them. I narrowed my eyes.
"So it wasn't bad enough you took advantage of me, you had to kidnap me?" I growled, pushing the pistol right against his chest.
"Look... I know what I did...I can't blame you at all for hating me...I hate myself for it, it was sinful and I'm probably going to hell for it. And as for kidnapping you" he sighed tiredly. "I brought you here because I wanted to talk to you and I knew you wouldn't come willingly. I also need your help."
I looked him in the eyes and found sincerity, something I never would have expected.
"You're the only person I know skilled enough to help me..Please, I'm desperate here, begging for your help.." he pleaded. I sighed, lowering my pistol.
"Fine... I'll help you, but this doesn't change anything." I huffed. I put my gun back in the hostler, turning away from him. Why now... Why now when I need to be back at camp, I need to be there as soon as Laf comes back..
"I promise, as soon as you help me I can take you back to the camp, I promise. You have my word." He said, still having sincerity. I just sighed in response, and sat on a stump by the lit fire.
"So... What did you want to talk about, Charles?"
