I'm alive, but who am I

Part 16, new friend, old enemy

Arthur's POV: three days later

I groan, my body aches, opening my eyes I look around, I'm back at the house and in bed, but how, trying to sit up I feel something, looking down I see Kelly wrapped around me, but that's not all I notice, she's not wearing anything and nor am I, but I'm also covered in bandages,

lying back down, I just lay here and think, that was pretty stupid of me, but it was a choice I made nonetheless, I have to own it, but it's late and I still need rest, and honestly, I'm not going to complain much about my current situation, though when I finally get up and face everyone is another story entirely,

I shut my eyes again and fall back asleep,

Sam's POV:

It's been three days now, and the military is combing through the city trying to find us, what Arthur did was stupid and reckless, but not without honest and good intentions,

Sam: how long are we going to wait?

Jenny: until Arthur wakes up

Varren: we may have to leave before he wakes up though, the military is closing in on us

Sam: that's Arthur's fault, If he was going to turn himself in any way then why didn't he let them take him

Varren: they must have declined his offer and decided to take him forcefully

Jenny: Sam, calm down, Arthur did what he did because he thought it was the best thing to do, he was trying to help us because he didn't want us to be in danger, think about it

Sam: I know why he did it, it just annoys me that he did and that this is the result of what happened, I know I've been a bitch recently because of how things turned out, I just wanted to live a quiet life

Jenny: so does Arthur, he was robbed of that a long time ago, but you can still have one, look, I was wrong to ask you to come help, you're free to go home if you want

Sam: and leave you, no, I'll stay and help, but we need a plan first, I don't want to keep going in blind, because sooner or later, one of us is gonna die because we don't have a plan

Varren: understood, but for right now, if Arthur isn't up by tomorrow night, we leave

Sam: and go where?

Varren: south to the Alps, remember Arthur was able to hide there for quite some time before he had to flee

Sam: aye, that's a start, guess we can lay low there for a bit

Jenny: true, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, we still need to get out of the city first

Sam: one problem at a time, first we need Arthur to wake up

Kelly's POV:

My heart's racing, he woke up and saw me, guess it's only fair, I did see his body, god that just makes my heart race faster, but I'm just so happy that he's finally awake, if Butch ever found out about this, he'll definitely kill Arthur,

But honestly, I'm just glad that this worked, with how much blood he lost, he was so pale and cold, I had to do this, I had to keep him warm while he healed, it pained me so much when I had to pull out those bullets from him, I was so scared that he wouldn't make it, but he's strong, he's survived worse than this, after all, a building was dropped on him, but honestly, he may be able to heal physical wounds, but what about mental wounds,

Jasper's POV:

Jasper: ah, bastard

Harken: it's almost an improvement, big scare where you lost some of your teeth
