Tegan POV

I'm running back to the medicine tent with my axe, sure it took me a while, about five minutes, but I'm pretty sure Emy can take care of herself. Well not based on your previous encounter.

"Emy! EMY! Emy are you out there?!" I have my axe and I'm looking for Emy, but she seems to have disappeared. I look to my left and to my right. Nothing. Ugh...Emy where are you?

"Emy! Please answer me!" Wait...what if the zombie got her? No, Emy would've shouted for help, or fired the gun she had hidden.

"HELP!" That doesn't sound like Emy, but this person sounds more in distress. I race over to the location of the shout. As I get closer, I see a woman tied to a tree, squirming for freedom. She has a tiny frame and short brown hair tucked behind her ear. Her hazel eyes twinkle whenever the moonlight hits them; she's easily the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I'm pulled away from my thoughts when I'm standing right at her feet.

"Please untie me!" She looks into my eyes, searching for some kind of compassion from me. Her stare is so intense, I get pulled back to the thoughts I was having about her.

"PLEASE!"

"Oh, um yeah, I guess I could, don't worry." I go to the back of the tree trunk, raise the axe, and slash it off. She gets up on her feet and runs towards me. She grips my wrist and pulls me towards a different tent where I can hear two people arguing. I can immediately tell it's Emy, who sounds like she's terrified, and a man who sounds really pissed off.

"Untie me or I'll scream!"

"And if you do, who's gonna come? Jasper? John? Please, they're good for nothing except for zombie bait. Face it Emy...no one's coming to save you...not even Sara. She saw me take you away and she ran...she ran away as fast as she could."

"No that's not true!" I hear skin come into contact with skin, probably a slap.

"Are you calling me a fucking liar? You bitch!"

I turn back to the woman and see that she has a look of fear on her face. I wonder who she is, and why is she so worried about Emy? Unless her and Emy are...no. It doesn't look like it, but they would sure make a cute couple. Then again, me and her would make a cute couple as well. I smirk at the idea. Note to self: Time to pull out the charm. Wait a minute...Lindsey. Darn. She is under some pretty heavy medicine though, so maybe she'll forget our new title as girlfriends. But what if she doesn't? I have to tell her at some point that everything that was said was just in the moment. But I can't do that to her. She looked so happy when I told her yes, the last thing I wanna do is hurt LB.

"We have to save her." She says, pulling me out of my thoughts, and takes hold of both of my hands and grasps them tightly, searching my face for reassurance that I'll help her. I nod in understanding. We open the tent flaps and are met with a gruesome scene.

Sara POV

She pushes open the flap and I can't believe the sight that's in front of me. He has Emy tied to the table and she's completely naked. Her face lightens up a bit when she sees me, but it's not enough to bring a smile to her face. She's whimpering and trembling when she sees Bruce take a step closer towards me and Tegan. Bruce takes a step closer to me, raising his his fist, but Tegan steps in front of me, shielding me away from him.

"Don't you dare touch her." She looks at him intensely in the eye, but he's not intimidated by her small structure.

"Get out of my way."

"NO." She plants her feet firmer into the ground. She shows no signs of fear, but more of confidence. I'm glad that she's protecting me, if it wasn't for her, I'd be on the ground by now. It isn't until now that I notice that she has some muscle on her arms, but I doubt they'll do anything to hurt Bruce.

"Fine, have it your way." His fist is about to come into contact with her stomach, but she jumps back, forcing me out the tent. I land on my bum and scramble away, watching the fight continue from the side of the tent.

Tegan pulls him out of the tent and they both fall onto the ground. He lands on top of her, but she lifts him up a little and uses her feet to kick him off and roll away at the same time. I tiptoe my way to the opening of the tent so I can use this time to free Emy.

"Emy!" I shout with joy. She squirms under the rope that's binding her wrists and ankles. I quickly grab the knife that I keep under my bed. I make my way back towards her and start to cut my way through the thick rope.

"Please hurry." She squirms even more, fear taking over her body.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry I've got you." I make my way towards her ankles, having already cut off the rope that was around her wrists. She sits uprights, her legs shaking. I accidentally cut her on her ankles. She winces at the pain and I start to lose it when I see the blood trickling down. I was never one to have a strong stomach, but I manage to keep it down for the time being.

"Emy don't move, I might cut you again." I say to her in a voice as soothing as possible, she eases a bit at my words and I manage to cut off the last bit of the rope. She jumps off the table and into my arms. I pull her into a tight embrace, paying no attention to the fact that she's completely naked.

"S-Sara...h-he was going to r-rape me!" She cries into the crook of my neck, grabbing tightly at the back of my hair.

"No he wasn't. I would never let that happen."

"Sara where were you?! He said you ran away!"

"No, Emy you know I wouldn't do that. He tied me up to a tree and carried you away, but I promise I won't let him carry you away ever again." I hug her even tighter, and she slowly stops sobbing.

"Wait, if you were tied up, then how are you here now?"

"Tegan untied me." I tell her, not wondering at all where Tegan might be.

"Wait...where's Tegan?"

"Oh my God, Tegan!" She pulls away from me and quickly gets dressed. I walk out of the tent flap, Emy following suit. We both stop abruptly and try to make sense at what we're seeing.

"Sara do something." Emy whispers in my ear, but I don't know what to say. Tegan and Bruce are standing at least 20 feet apart. Tegan has her gun aimed at Bruce's face and Bruce has his aimed at hers. Tegan's lips are busted, blood seeping though her mouth. Purple marks are starting to appear around her body, her perfect body...Oh shut up. Bruce's hair is a mess and his mouth is in need of stitches, blood seeping though his knocked-out teeth. Before I can say anything, a gunshot is fired, followed by a thud sound, signaling a fallen body.

"TEGAN NO!"
