The group continued to watch anxiously, waiting for Eduardo to emerge from the flames. Sam held Lily firmly to her, happy that her daughter was safe. But as she looked up towards the deck, she was terrified, hoping that she'd see Eduardo appear at any moment. Lily had said that his foot had gotten caught in some sort of hole, would he be able to free himself? Would he be alright?

"He needs to get out of there really soon. Or the flames will get to the cannon." Russell said quietly, watching the ship. Sam bit her lip nervously, realizing that on top of the flames, Eduardo would now have to worry about the cannon blowing up. She squeezed her daughter tightly in her arms, trying desperately to hold back a sob.

Nathan slapped Russell across the back of his head firmly. "Shut up Russell." A few long silent moments passed, as the raft continued to drift in the waves.

"I want to know where the hell those arrows came from." Russell muttered angrily.

"I haven't seen any ships nearby." Nathan replied quietly.

Morgan shook his head. "They wouldn't need any ships nearby. If it's who I think it is, they probably have someone somewhere close by, on a raft of their own. They'd have to be fairly close range to get those arrows up onto the deck."

"Does that mean that they're alone?"

"Not necessarily. They were probably out here scouting for us when they saw us. It means that the rest of their crew won't be far behind. We'll need to get to the naval base quickly to start setting up if we're going to have any prayer of winning." Morgan replied.

"I shouldn't have left daddy." Lily sobbed quietly into her mother's chest.

Sam shook her head and lifted her daughters head. "No sweetheart, you did exactly what you were supposed to. It's ok. You were very brave for daddy." Sam stroked her daughters back reassuringly, trying to soothe her.

Nathan jumped up, pointing towards the deck. "There he is!"

Sam instantly looked to where Nathan pointed, finally seeing Eduardo on the deck. Lily looked up from her mother's chest, watching her father just as anxiously as the rest of the group. Sam breathed an enormous sigh of relief as she continued to watch her husband. He bounded across the ship, jumping over patches of fire. Running towards the side of the ship, he took a running leap towards the side. He jumped off the side of the ship, and dove down into the ocean waters. Morgan and Nathan instantly began paddling the raft over to where Eduardo had dove. Sam scanned the water, and saw where her husband's head broke the surface.

The raft pulled up alongside him, and Morgan and Nathan reached into the waters, pulling Eduardo inside. Sam and Lily jumped forward, wrapping their arms around Eduardo as he steadied himself. Eduardo held both of them closely to his wet form, water dripping from his body onto the raft. Lily sobbed into his side as she held him tightly, and Sam held him just as tightly, feeling her body shake slightly from the relief. She reached forward, pulling his face down to kiss his lips. She then pulled back and firmly punched him in his arm.

"Ow! The hell was that for?" Eduardo cried out, looking confused at her as he continued to hold Lily with his other arm.

"That's for scaring me like that." Sam declared. Eduardo smirked at her and winked, then winced as he sat down, grabbing at his foot. Sam bent forward to inspect where his hand rested, to see that his ankle was plenty well bloodied up.

"You're hurt." She said simply, propping it up to look at it better.

Eduardo shrugged. "It looks worse than it really is. Just scratched it up a bit that's all. Got it stuck in some wood and I…" Eduardo stopped as his eyes narrowed in on the drying blood on Sam's arm, the one she'd positioned away from him so he wouldn't see. He bent forward and grabbed her arm, looking down at her injured flesh.

Sam bit her lip as he thumbed over her wound, smiling weakly at him. "Looks worse than it really is."

"What happened?" He asked firmly.

"Arrow hit me." She replied as the raft hit the sandy shores. Nathan and Russell jumped from the raft and pulled it fully onto the sand. The beach was quiet, but further down Sam could see where Thomas and Christopher had pulled their rafts ashore.

Morgan turned and looked at Sam. "I'll take Lily to the base, you help Eduardo. He'll likely be limping a bit from his ankle."

"Limping my ass, I'm fine." Eduardo snapped.

"Well just in case stubborn ass." Morgan replied.

Sam nodded and turned to her daughter, holding her head in her hands. "You go with Uncle Morgan ok sweetie?"

"Where are we going?" Lily asked, having calmed down considerably from earlier.

"Somewhere safe baby. Now you behave for your uncle, and your daddy and I will be right behind you. Ok?"

Lily nodded. "Yes ma'am."

Sam kissed her daughter's forehead. "Good girl."

Morgan walked over and lifted Lily up, carrying her, and stepped down off the raft. He and Russell then ran into the darkness towards the base. Sam watched as the three disappeared, and then went to help Eduardo off the raft. His limp wasn't as bad as Morgan had predicted it to be, but it did slow Eduardo down a bit. Sam, Eduardo, and Nathan quickly made their way after the other three, heading into the forest with Eduardo leaning slightly against Sam.

"So…You get shot with an arrow," Nathan said as they hustled, "and it's 'not as bad as it looks'?"

Sam shrugged. "Eduardo said the same about his ankle."

"That's because I wasn't shot with a bloody arrow." Eduardo replied angrily.

Sam nibbled on her lip then looked up at Eduardo. "What are we going to do?"

Eduardo looked down at her. "I don't know love, but by god I'm gonna make them regret the day they were born for threatening, and now hurting, my family."
