MITCHS POV

----------------------------------------------------

I couldn't stop running.

Tears were streaming down my face, but I couldn't stop. I slowed down but I kept jogging, until I collapsed against a tree, my body shrouded in exhaustion.

I gasped for breath, like a fish out of water, while I leant on the tree for support. I looked around,taking in my surroundings. Trees, trees and - wait! What was that?! Oh nevermind, it was just another goddamn tree!

The sky had turned pink and I decided it was just about nightfall. My stomach growled louder, alerting me to my hunger and parched throat.

BOOM!

I froze, as I heard another cannon go off.

Jerome?! I thought, beggining to panic again. I mentally fought with myself, not sure whether to run back to him or not.

Eventually my heart took over, and I sprinted for what seemed like forever, back to our little clearing. I burst into the open, only to find Jerome lying on the ground, not moving.

"NO!" I screamed, running over. Thats when Jerome sat up and looked at me. I tackled him to the ground, crying. He grunted in suprise, before slowly patting my hair and hugging me back.

"I thought I lost you Jerome, I-I thought..." I sobbed, not wanting to let go of him.

"Shhhh, it's okay, it's okay..." Jerome said, holding me tightly. I sniffed and looked up at him.

"But, if you are fine, then who...." I trailed off, not completing my sentence. We looked at each other as my question hung in the air around us like a thick fog.

My question began to be answered when Adam and Ty burst into our clearing, weapons up and blood dripping from open wounds.
