AN: Alright so I'm gunna try to end this one pretty fast because I don't think there is a lot that will happen. I own nothing of Falling Skies or anything that is mentioned in the story.

Confrontation

"What do you guys think?" Regina asked the group that surrounded the fire.

"It sounds nice." One of her people said quietly.

"Speak your mind. This is a group decision." Regina said louder. "Would it be better if I left? Let you guys make a choice?" When there was no answer she walked away from the warmth of the fire.

"I'm sorry you had to do that." Ben said creeping up next to her.

"It was necessary." Regina said with a straight face.

"What happened to him? Your brother?" Ben asked quietly.

"They…they killed him. Blow torches and doctors aren't a good combination." She replied flatly.

"I'm sorry." Ben whispered.

"What's done is done. Now I have them to worry about. If we go and-and anything happens please keep them safe. They need to know that they are safe." Regina finally looked at him and her eyes showed concern.

"I promise. They'll be safe." Ben said as someone dragged them back to the fire.

"We have made a decision. We think we should give the rebels a chance." Jo said talking for the group.

"Then let's get on the move. You guys know the drill." Regina said as people started to swarm towards tents.

Regina walked to her own tent filling a pack with all the essentials she hid in her room. She heard the flap open and close. She turned to see Ben. She gave a smile.

"Ben…just because I told you about Jack-" She started.

"We had a deal." Ben said closing the space between them. "I make you sad I have to make up for it." He said grabbing her waist and pulling her towards him. "Just keeping up my end of the deal." He said kissing her lightly.

"Ben we're leaving soon. Let me finish packing." She said pulling away from him.

"I remember when I first found you guys." Ben said bringing the memory up. "We made that deal in this tent over a month ago. Do you still feel the same?" Ben asked the question quietly.

"Of course Ben. Why would you ask that?" Regina said moving over to the chest he sat on.

"Jo just is acting weird and so are you. Are you having nightmares or anything? I need to know please." He said nearly begging.

"Ben…I- I've been having panic attacks kinda. I just don't like when people touch me sometimes… and I just…I panic…"She said quietly.

"Hey as long as you have me we'll be fine." Ben said leaning in for a kiss when she got off of him to finish packing. He gave a quiet laugh.

"Let's go lover boy." Regina said grabbing his hand and taking him out of the tent. Ben led the way but Regina was right behind him. Suddenly there was a glow that came over all the de-harnessed kids. They knew it was coming.

"Good to finally me the great Hood." A fish head said talking through Jo.

"Can't say I'm too happy to see you though." Regina snapped.

"You cause so much trouble. I'm afraid you must pay the price for your actions." Jo said with a blank stare.

"I can take that just-just leave them alone." Regina said quickly.

"They will meet their doom in a different form; you on the other hand must pay in blood." Jo said harshly.

She heard the arrow come out of its quiver before she felt the pain in radiate as it slipped between her ribs and sinking into what laid underneath. Then the presence of the arrow was gone. She started choking, feeling like she was drowning. She was able to cough up some of the red liquid that was filling her lungs. She feel to her knees and then on her back. She looked up into the confused faces of Jo and Ben. She watched as Ben's confusion faded and horror replaced it.

"Don't leave me please." He mumbled into her ear his head resting against hers.

She started gasping and more blood came up. She pushed his face towards the people that were watching in fear. He knew what she ws trying to tell him. Take care of them. He watched her and she watched as his face grew blurrier and blurrier. He saw her eyes fade to a dull stare. Ben lifted her up and watched as the group stated to move again towards the unknown camp not sure what he was going to do.
