Y/n's POV

I woke up with no one beside me. Confused, I sat up to look around. Katie usually kisses my head to wake me up but she's nowhere to be seen.

I found a letter on my bedside so I had decided to read it.

My dearest, Y/n

I didn't bother to wake you up as you were too beautiful in your sleep. I do not have to courage to tell you that Tom, Peter and I are off to your old camp because I know it will be hard for me to go if you'll beg for me to just stay. I promise you that no matter what happens I'll be back... we'll all be back. If Peter plans on doing something, we also have something up our sleves for him. We'll do our best to be safe and not get caught.

I look forward to coming home into your arms. I can't wait to kiss you again when we get back.

I love you.

Forever yours,

Katie.

I loved and hated her letter at the same time...

I love it because Katie is the most romantic person I've ever met and I'd never imagine that I'll still be able to get love letters.

I hate it because she sounded like she's trying to say goodbye knowing how dangerous it is to where they're going... and it's scaring the shit out of me.

I stood up and hid her letter on the drawer and went out of our bedroom.

I went to the kitchen to see Gal cooking breakfast.

"Good morning y/n" she said.

All I could do is nod at her in acknowledgement still worrying about Katie's safety.

"I get that Katie didn't bother to wake you up when they left?" Gal asked.

I nodded once again and sighed.

"I'm so worried, Gal. She wrote me the most romantic letter I have ever received but I can't help but feel like she's saying goodbye." I said as I rub my face in frustration still trying to remove the worry that I'm feeling.

"Nothing wrong is going to happen, okay?" Gal said.

"Tom and Katie are both strong, and they came prepared. They will be back, and nothing will go wrong." She added as she sat down next to me and grabbed my hand to hold it.

I immediately pulled my hand away to put some food on my plate.

I saw how Gal frowned at my actions but I chose to ignore it and went on to eat my breakfast.

"How long will it takes for you to forgive me y/n?" Gal asked.

I never thought she'd be this hurt with my actions.

"I've already forgiven you, Gal. From the moment you  came back. I never never blamed you for what you''ve done. I just think it would be better for us to keep our distance. I'm with Katie, and you're with Tom. Besides, I'm already happy with everything we have right now so please dont ruin it." I told Gal.

Silence engulfed the whole house. I took it as a sign that we were finished with our conversation and so, I went and finished my breakfast so  I can get started with my daily chores.

As soon as I put my dishes in the sink, I felt Gal's hand on my wrist. She quickly spun me around to face her and before I could react, I felt her lips on mine.

Katie's POV

Tom is leading the way back to their old camp. We drove a few miles until Tom decided that we should start walking to avoid people from spotting us. With Peter beside him, I've decided to walk behind them in case Peter decides to make a bad move on us. 

No one can fully trust him yet and frankly, I can't blame them.

"There's a cliff just a few miles north. If we go there,  we could see the whole camp." Peter told us.

Tom nodded as we headed to the direction that Peter gave us. 

After almost an hour of walking we finally reached the cliff. Looking down Peter was right. You can see the whole camp and I was horrified with what I've witenessed. 

People screaming for mercy, children crying, those barbaric man laughing at the suffering of their kind, having no guilt in slaying for food.

"I-I can't... I can't look. it's too much." I told them as I felt tears streaing down my face. 

Those poor peple... they do not deserve to be slaughtered like animals.

"I n-need to do something." I heard Peter said.

"I can't watch this any longer. We need to do something, Tom!" Peter exclaimed.

"We can't!" Tom said aslo distraught with what he saw. 

"At least not now... We need Y/n and we need a plan. We can't... not now. We'll be slaughtered too if we went in there." Tom said.

Peter was heartbroken having to witness once again what the outcome of his revenge has made.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." He repeated over and over again kneeling in front of Tom and I crying for forgiveness.

Tom saw how Peter was suffering with what he has done. He understood that his revenge drove him crazy that he rejected the truth which led to so many people dying because of him. 

Pulling Peter up to his feet, Tom hugged him. 

"I know... you're sorry. Now, you're going to help us save those people once we return back home you understand?" Tom  said to Peter. 

All Peter could do was nod. He couldn't believe that anyone could still forgive him after what he has done. 

After a few minutes of consoling each other. We heard a noise coming towards us. Tom instructed us to hide behind the huge rock. As the sound of at least three men grunting and shouting at something or someone continues to come towards us, we carefully peeked at what's happening out in the open... and we were once again horrified with what's about to happen in front of us. 

Two men are pinning a helpless girl on the ground laughing at how hard she's trying to get free while the third man was standing in front of the girl, unzipping his trousers. 

Before we could react, Peter jumped out on our hiding spot to stop the men from raping the poor girl.

"You fucking pigs!" He shouted at them, throwing a rock at the man unzipping his trousers, causing for him to lose consciousness. 

Tom and I quickly followed Peter drawing our guns out, aiming at their heads before the two remaining men could do somehting.

"Try to fucking move and we'll blow your brains out." Tom shouted at them. 

As the two men had their hands behind their head, I looked at the girl and told her run behind us and she quickly followed. I quickly went to her and made sure that she was fine.

As Peter and Tom about to knock the men out,  one of them drew out a gun firing at us.

Peter's POV

Those fucking pigs deserves to be left here to die. As Tom and I were about to knock the men out, one of them drew out a gun firing at us. 

"You fucking bastard! Tom shouted shooting both of them in the head. 

We heard the girl scream behind us and as I turned around I froze in horror  as I felt tears streaming down my face.

"No.... no no no no." Tom said horrified at what happened.

Blood spilling,  as I stare at the woman lying on the ground...

"Katie..."
