"Sadly, i'm a cold blooded killer." He began to raise his gun to Bellamy's head.
"No!" I screamed.
Bang!
The sound of a gun played through my ears. Bellamy's body fell to the ground.
That was the last time I saw Tim. I turned to see the shooter who had just saved Bellamy's life.
Katrina stood there gun still aimed toward where Tim and Bellamy had just stood. "Nice shot." I said still a little shaken.
I rushed over to Bellamy's body. He was unconscious but, thanks to Katrina, he was alive. "Lilly, come over here and tell me what the damage is. Devan and Oliver I need you guys to carry him back to camp after." They all rushed to me and did as i asked.
Lilly would give the verdict. "He has a concussion obviously, maybe a broken rib or two, some minor cuts, some major. But, he's going to be ok."
"Is he gonna be able to walk with us tomorrow?" Devan asked.
"If he stays in bed until then, gets enough protein, and is well hydrated. Then yeah. But if not then he's not going on foot. Same goes for you Carly I want u in bed as soon as we get back."
"I have to make sure everything goes ok. I don't have time to lay down." She gave me a stern look. "I'll work something out."
We began to head back to camp.

Once we were back at camp Lilly stitched up Bellamy and we lay him down waiting for him to wake up so he could get something to eat and drink.
"Come on Carly, you haven't left his side since you got back." Bella said walking up to me. I was on the first floor with Bellamy who was still asleep on the couch. I was pacing for a while then Lilly came in and yelled at me.
"If you're not going to lay down and let your head rest, then at least sit down for gods sake!" She had yelled at me. So i grabbed a chair and pulled it up next to him.
"Everyone is waiting to hear what happened out there." She begged. I looked up at her with my tired eyes. "Look. I, or someone else like Lilly, can watch over him."
"No. I want to be here when he wakes up." I said. She looked concerned. "Tell Lilly, Devan, or Oliver that they can tell everyone- or better yet let them all talk."
After a moment of thought she agreed and I watched her walk off, leaving me alone with Bellamy once again.

"Ugh." Someone groaned. It woke me up. I wasn't sure what time it was but it was very late. I reached down and grabbed my flashlight that Bella had left me. I flipped it on and set it down so i could see my surroundings.
Bellamy was trying to sit up. "Hey your awake." I say quietly.
"Carly?" He asked. Once he was successful with sitting up.
"Yeah, I'm here." I said. "Here Lilly said you need water and food once you wake up, I'll go get some." I said then tried to maneuver myself in the dark because I left the flashlight with Bellamy, I shifted through our kitchen to get him some berries and some water. We hadn't gone hunting for a while now and we ran out of our meet. But that didn't matter because soon we would be going home.
"Here." I said handing him the food and water, then taking my seat once again.
"Thanks." He said. Taking them. "What happened?"
"Do you remember going after Tim to talk to him?"
"Vaguely." He answered.
"Well it had been after 2 hours since you left that Devan, Oliver, Lilly, Katrina, and I went after you two. We found where he had hit you in the head with a rock and then dragged you off. We followed the trail and we found you tied to a tree after being beating and slashed. Then long story short we found out the Tim was actually the murderer. He had you hostage so we gave him our weapons and told him we would let him walk if he gave us you. Then-" he cut me off.
"Wait you let him go? He was the one who murdered more than ten of our people and you let him go?" Bellamy asked accusingly.
"No." I said. "We were about to, but after we gave him our weapons he was still going to kill you."
"Oh." He said. "So then how did you make it out? He had your weapons."
"Not all of them. Just before we gave him our weapons Katrina took my gun thinking I would do something stupid- probably right- and she never gave him the gun. So when he was about to shoot you, Katrina shot him first. We had to carry you back so that Lilly could stitch you up and you could rest."
"Wow." He said. "Wait, have you been here the whole time?" He asked me.
"Yeah ever since we got back."
"You didn't have to do that you know." He said.
"Yeah, I know. But i wanted to be here when you woke up." I said.
"Do you wanna sit?" He asked pointing beside him. I nodded, and sat beside him.
"I was really scared Bellamy." I told him, I couldn't meet his eyes.
He put his arm around me and pulled me into him. I never wanted to leave.

Soon we both fell asleep letting the light from the next day wake us.
The light peeked through the door and onto my face. I sat up and tidied up after Bellamy, putting his leaf bowls outside into our trash.
"Rise and shine." I said waking him up. He stretched and it was that moment i remembered he still didn't have a shirt on. "I'll go get you a shirt, you're going to need it for today." I went upstairs and grabbed an extra shirt for Bellamy. Blue. He always looked good in blue.
I returned giving him the shirt. "How did you know?" He mocked in a girly voice.
I laughed. "So are you going to be able to walk today?" I asked him.
"Hey, i'm still breathing so i'm still walking." I smiled and we went to the kitchen to fix ourselves some breakfast.
"When we get back home..." He started. "We're still going to be close right?"
"Well yeah, we're going to go to the same mental hospital I bet. Once we tell people about this place they'll think we're insane."
"I wonder if they will let us cook in the mental hospital."
"Why's that?"
"Because i made a promise to myself that as soon as we got out of this place, i would make you pancakes." I blushed. That was one of the most thought full things i've ever heard from someone.
"Well they better be good." I say.
"Oh trust me, they'll be the best dang pancakes you've ever had." I smiled again.
"What are you two love birds doing?" I heard Lilly ask as she walked over to us.
"Oh shut up." I told her. In all honestly it was true. Well at least on my half. I had realized that it wasn't just a little crush i had on Bellamy. I genuinely loved him, I just hoped he felt the same.
