This is my first FanFiction for Revolution. I enjoy the show but was mad when they killed off Maggie. So, since Charlie seems to always come out of situations unscratched while other get hurt or DIE, I decided to make her the damsel in distress. This is not set in any point in time, and Maggie still lives. Mentions of rape but that's it. Enjoy!
Charlie was running. Running as fast as she could. Two Militia men were chasing her through the woods. Earlier, Charlie, Miles, and Nora, a long with Aaron and Maggie were setting up camp near a run-down gas station when they spotted the Militia. Miles and Nora took down five men while Maggie and Aaron ran inside. Charlie hit one man with her arrow but was unable to take the other two. Instead she took off into the woods. The men chased her because they were probably thinking they'll be killed if they faced Miles. So, this is where she is now, running for her life.
Back at the gas station, Miles and Nora finished taking out the five men. "Well, that was fun!" Miles joked. "Alright you two, you can come out."
Maggie and Aaron exited the station and fixed up their camp. Maggie looked around and noticed Charlie was missing. "Where's Charlie?"
"She's not with you." Miles said. He turned around at the sound of laughter. A Militia man was on the ground giggling away. Miles forcefully yanked the man off the ground and held him against the wall. "What's so funny?"
"Your little girl is running for her life in the woods," he smirked. "Two very aggressive and lonely men just want to have some fun." Before he could let out a single smile, Miles broke his neck. Anger and fear ran through his body. It was getting dark and Charlie didn't have any weapons. He saw a trail with broken branches and twigs and knew that's the way they went.
"I'm going after her. Nora, you and the others stay here just in case she comes back and the men are following." Miles grabbed his sword and a torch.
"I'm going with you!" Maggie protested. "She's the closes think I have to a family, I won't lose her." She grabbed an extra sword from a dead Militia man and headed towards the direction Charlie went. Miles looked at her but didn't complain.
It was getting dark and Charlie could still here the men behind her. When will they give up, she thought. Out of no where, pain shot through her side, making her fall. Damn, they have a gun! (Luckily it was only a one shot.) Charlie went to get on her feet but felt someones fist slam into her face. She started crawling but was soon stopped with four blows to the ribs. She let out a scream because she knew she broken something. The other man came from behind and made her stand up. "Well well, look who we have here!"
"Go to hell!" Charlie said, spiting blood coming from her mouth and nose. The man hit her with another punch. The one holding her ripped her shirt while thrown her hard to the ground. One last blown to the ribs and face and Charlie knew she was done for.
Miles and Maggie ran to find Charlie. Thankfully the men left a good trail to follow. The duo continued to run until the heard a gun shot. This made their faces go pale. Giving each other a worried looked, they headed towards the sound. The next thing they heard was Charlie scream. This pushed Miles and Maggie to run faster. Reaching a clearing in the woods, they saw Charlie. She was on the ground with one man attempting to tear her pants. This man didn't stand a chase because the next thing he knew, he was being tackled to the ground with a sword through his chest. Militia man number two was taken down by Maggie.
"Charlie!" She dropped to her knees. Charlie's shirt was ripped open revealing a dark purple and blue bruise. There was a graze on the same side that was made from the bullet. On her face, she had a gash above her right eyebrow, and a bloody nose. "Charlie, I need you to stay awake. MILES!"
Miles joined Maggie. "Dammit Charlie, what did you do?" He didn't sound mad, but scared, which surprise Maggie.
"I...I'm s...orry." Charlie whisper. Her eyes were barley open. "ghmm...," she tried saying something but only blood came out.
"Miles, give me your under shirt, I need to stop the bleeding." Miles did so and Maggie wrapped it around her wound. The shirt also help support her ribs. "We need to get back so I can stitch her up. Can you carry her?"
"Ya, I think so." Miles leaned next to Charlie. "This is going to hurt, I'm sorry." In one quick motion he had her bridal style. She screamed and buried her head in his neck. "Charlie!" Miles became worried. "Maggie she's starting to shake and sweat."
"She's in shock. We need to hurry!" It was already dark, so Maggie lead the way while turning back to check up on Charlie.
Back at the gas station, Aaron and Nora were inside by the fire. They jumped up when the herd Maggie and Miles burst in with Charlie. "Aaron clear the counter off so we can lay her down," Maggie ordered. "AARON!" Still staring at Charlie he did as he was told. "Miles put her on the counter."
Laying her down, Miles wiped sweat from her forehead. Monroe's men went to far. Forget about Monroe being his friend. Charlie has made her way into his heart and he has accepted her as family. He wants revenge. Miles unwrapped his blood soaked shirt and removed Charlie's already torn tank top. This left her abdomen fully exposed, except her chest being covered by a sports bra.
"What the hell happened?" Nora said, joining Miles beside Charlie.
"The Militia went to far. They tried to rape her Nora!" He was furious. This was not how he trained the Militia when he was in charge. "Maggie and I got there just when..."
"It's OK Miles. She's safe now." Nora could see how hard this was effecting him.
While the pain was overpowering, Charlie had flashes of her childhood.
"Mommy, mommy my arm hurts." Eight year old Charlie cried.
"Come here baby girl, lets see." Her mom looked up and down her arm. "Well it looks like you scrapped your elbow."
"It hurts mommy." Charlie continued to cry. Her mom held her close and kissed her elbow.
"You can sleep with me and I'll keep the pain away." her mom smiled. Charlie scooted closer and fell asleep with the pain slowly fading away.
Maggie returned with still in shock Aaron following close behind. She had Miles sit on the counter with Charlie resting between his legs, her back against his chest. "I need to see how many ribs are broken. Miles, raise her arms and hold her still, Aaron hold her legs." Maggie gently pressed each rib making Charlie snap out of her dream world and scream.
"Calm down Charlie," Miles whispered in her ear, "It's almost over." He held her close to keep her still.
With Maggie done, she concludes that Charlie has three broken ribs and the rest bruised. Miles got off the counter and laid Charlie back down. Nora found an alcohol bottle while rummaging through the station. Maggie pored the alcohol on Charlie's wound to numb it up. After giving her twenty-five stitches, Maggie had Miles move Charlie closer to the fire to keep her warm. He put her down on a mat and covered her with a blanket. Aaron and Nora gave Charlie their best wishes before going to sleep, leaving Maggie and Miles.
"She's going to be fine. Between her brother and father, she was the fighter." Maggie gave Charlie a kiss on her forehead before going to sleep. Miles thought about what she said. She's right, Charlie was a fighter. She reminded him of himself, strong, determined, and sometimes, stubborn. He laid next to his niece having her head resting on his shoulder.
"You'll pull through this Charlie. You have too. For Maggie, me and Danny. No matter what happens next, I promise I'll keep you safe." That's the last thing he said before drifting to sleep. A few minutes after Miles fell asleep Charlie slowly opened her eyes. She was in a lot of pain but glanced over to notices her uncle next to her. She gave a weak smile before passing out. Knowing her uncle is by her side, she can already feel the pain starting to fade.
I plan on continuing, but I would enjoy reading some reviews. Like I said this is my first time because I usually write FanFictions for Once Upon A Time. So, please review!
