Jack led the survivors to a small camp in the center of the woods, it looked as if they slept on the ground, but they had had salvaged one tent from a victim.
Jack had the tent, as he was the leader.
They all sat around the fire, eating something that looked like frog, but obviously wasn't, as it smelled like burning flesh.
Angelica decided to pass and save her stomach.
Jack eventually motioned for her arm, and she gave it to him. He took out a knife and she pulled away but was too slow.
Jack cut deep into her skin and twisted, cutting out a small bit of arm flesh.
He offered it to his tribe and they took it, roasting it.
Angelica cried hard as her vision went hazy, then black.

----------------------------------------------

Angelica woke up in the tent with Jack looking down at her. He poked her arm, and Angelica scooted away from him, whimpering in pain.
He scooted closer until there was no where left to go and took off his shirt.
Angelica gasped but he covered her mouth. She covered her shirt to prevent him from taking it off, but he grabbed for her hurt arm.
She did not have the strength to stop him and he succeeded in freeing it from her grip on her shirt.
He gently bandaged her arm with his shirt and smiled at her.
Angelica stared at him, dumbfounded, but hugged him quickly around the neck. He hesitantly wrapped his arms around her, feeling a few tears fall on his back.
He pulled back and wiped her tear, staring at it on his finger. "An..gelica." He grunted.
"Jack!" She said excitedly and cupped his face in her hands, he looked frightened. "Sorry." She let go.
Jack motioned to her arm.
"Yes, it feels better. Thank you." She said.
He pulled something out of his pocket, a small brown meat wad.
He offered it to her and she took it, studying it.
"This is my arm." She gasped.
Jack motioned for her to eat it and she refused, only resulting in him nearly shoving it down her throat.
"Ok, ok!" She yelled as he fell on top of her. He looked into her eyes and she looked into eyes.
"I don't know if you remember me, or if this will help, but either way I have to do it." She warned and kissed him.
He kissed her back and lowered himself to be closer to her.
When they broke apart, his eyes were their normal charming brown.
He took her earring out of his pocket and put it on her ear. "I missed you." He smirked.
"Oh, Jack!" Angelica cried and hugged him tight around the neck. He hugged her back and nipped her neck.
Angelica giggled, but yelped as he rolled onto her arm.
"What?" He asked quickly, showing a great deal of concern.
"My arm." She answered honestly to him for the first time in what felt like a week.
He looked down to see his shirt bandaged around her arm. "I hurt you.." He gasped.
"Jack it's alright, you're head wasn't where it was supposed to be." She comforted, suppressing a shiver.
Apparently she failed.
"Are you alright?" He sat up and sat her in his lap.
"I suppose so."
"I am so sorry, my love." He buried his face in his hair.
"It's ok, Jack." She rubbed his arm.
"Angelica you're freezing! This jungle is humid, you're sure your alright?" He cooed.
"I am a little cold." She admitted.
"Let's take you for a walk." He stood up with her in his arms. He ducked out of the tent and set off on a path.
She laid her head against his shoulder and looked up at all the colorful birds, everything started to get hazy again and her head felt heavy. Her eyelids became stubborn to drift shut as well.
"Angelica?!?" Jack yelled as he noticed her condition.
That was the last thing she heard.
