''Bear!? Jason!?'' Jon yelled walking threw the tree's before hearing something unfamiliar, he walked towards the sound and saw it to be true, there passing on the other side of a lake was a train, he walked to the lake going down a hill and reached the water looking up at it, he then looked around him feeling his heart stop after his eyes set on something nearby, he slowly walked over seeing a dark colored animal laying by the lake. He covered his mouth and turned falling to his knee's ''Fuck.'' he cussed from his leg hurting as tear's piled in his eye's, he shut his eye's not wanting to look at what was behind him.

He breathed in now smelling the animal behind him and couldn't bare looking but he needed to, he turned around and looked at the dog laying there, fear rose in him, he didn't want to believe it. He pushed himself to his feet and stepped closer seeing the light blue collar around it's neck and fell again shutting his eye's, he leaned over her and pet the fur back at the top of her collar before collapsing beside her. He hugged her crying into her fur to muffle himself, he knew it would take a lot to get over this, his heart sank to the pit of his stomach, his breathing was separated and his grip around her got tighter and tighter.

He refused to let go, then remembered there was still a nine year old boy out there alone and probably scared, Jon breathed in and pushed up still crying but tried controlling it, he breathed out with a shaky breath before picking her up and walked a bit away from the water before pulled rocks away and started digging the dirt up before placing her gently inside, he removed her collar and buried the dirt over her, he placed the rocks in a way it looked like it was supposed to be like that, he got up and grabbed some stick's near by and made a cross putting it into the dirt between a couple rock's. He then held her collar remembering when he got it for her, with shaky hand's he lifted it and placed it over the stick and made sure it was stable enough to stay there, he then pushed up using a big rock to help him stand.

His lip's quivered as his eye's felt weak, he looked down at his leg seeing he was bleeding threw the bandages and remembered the bags back in the car ''You've gotta be kidding me.'' he mumbled before sniffling and turned away from Bear's grave freezing, not sure if he had the heart to put Scarlet out of her misery or even if he remembered where the car was. He was sure Bear had an injury from the accident, nothing else made sense, she wasn't bleeding and she was alone. He leaned on the rock loosing his balance knowing he needed to stop the bleeding again, he took his belt off and tied it tightly around his tight to stop blood from rushing to that area. He then pushed off the rock and looked back at Bear's grave hating that he wasn't looking at the road.

He turned and shut his eye's whipping the tear's away, he then started his trek back to the car, he stopped climbing when he herd a gun shot and hurried up the hill, he lost his footing a bit but hoped it was Jason he was hearing ''Jason!" he called out going in the direction of the shot and finally got there seeing the car, he limped around and crashed to the ground on the other side seeing Jason holding his arm, he crawled over to him and held him seeing he was bleeding, he looked at the car seeing he shot Scarlet and the worst feeling came to him, he moved Jason's hand seeing it was a bite ''No.'' Jason looked up at him ''I tried saving her.'' Jon looked down at him holding his arm ''There was no saving Scarlet, I should've.... I should've killed her.'' he said and shut his eye's ''No, Bear.'' he looked at him.

''She was hurt.'' Jason added feeling weaker ''Jason stay with me please.'' Jon begged not ready to lose another person ''Can you say hi to the guys?" Jon shut his eye's crying and looked away as Jason gripped his tank top ''Am I gonna be one of them?'' Jason asked, fear evident in his voice, Jon couldn't stand it, he shook his head and looked at Jason ''No, I won't let you become one of them.'' he promised holding Jason's hand, Jason nodded and shut his eye's leaning his head on Jon's shoulder, Jon could see his skin changing color around the bite mark, Jon held Jason close to him and tried steadying his breathing.

He grabbed Jason's gun and looked away ''I'll say hi to the guy's for you.'' Jon chocked out and put the barrel of the gun to Jason's chin ''Thank you.'' Jason got out, Jon shut his eye's having his finger on the trigger, he tried keeping his tears back but it wasn't working, he bit his lip and gripped onto Jason's other arm before pulling the trigger completely.
