Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait, I kept editing this chapter because I wanted it to be perfect but finally I just gave up because you guys have waited too long! 

Once again, you guys don't have to but it'd be great if you could review. So I can see what you like and what you don't like. Thank you! (:

The next few days had been tense. Thankfully Wells and Finn had gotten back in time to save Jasper. I don't think Bellamy appreciated that blow to his ego, being wrong. In fact, these days we just seemed to stay out of each others way. Until today. People were getting ready to go out and hunt, gather more food and supplies and I was going too.

"I'm coming with you."

Bellamy turned and raised an eyebrow at me.

"No you're not. No offense Doc, but your expertise is needed here more."

I pulled him aside, away from his crew, so that they wouldn't overhear us. Bellamy looked at my hand on his arm and then back up at me, raising his eyebrows again.

"I know you're missing two kids. They went out on your order yesterday and never came back. And before you argue with me, yes. They could have gotten lost. But if they didn't, they might need medical attention."

He looked at my determined stare and relented.

"Fine. But at least take this. I don't wanna have to be responsible for you out there."

He tried to hand me a knife but I shook my head.

"No thanks. Knives aren't my thing. I can take care of myself just fine."

We were almost a mile away from camp when I sighed. There were absolutely no signs of the two missing kids. Maybe coming along hadn't been such a great idea. Suddenly there was a rustling noise behind us. Immediately Bellamy turned around, on edge. He raised his arm to throw his knife when I noticed a familiar looking jacket.

"Bellamy stop!"

I jumped forward and pulled on his arm to change his aim as the knife landed tip first into the bark of a tree instead of his intended target. He gave me a look of indignation but I ignored it. Walking up to the tree, I breathed a sigh of relief as I saw a little girl standing there unscathed.

"Hey... what's your name?"

I spoke softly so I didn't scare her.

"Charlotte."

"Hey why aren't you back at camp?"

"The woods aren't safe for a little girl."

"I wanted to help. To learn how to hunt! And I'm not a little girl."

I looked at Bellamy and Atom who had spoke before. Bellamy looked at me, and then back at Charlotte.

"Okay then. But you can't hunt without a weapon."

I wanted to protest, him giving this young girl a knife. But then I remembered where we were. On the ground with people who wanted to kill us. This wasn't a place for kids and everyone was slowly starting to figure that out, including me.

"Come on Charlotte, you can be my bodyguard."

I smiled at her as we turned to keep moving forward with the group.
