Blair's POV
Audrey was still unconscious, but breathing. CC carried her, and poor Jake refused to let anyone else carry Ella. This is going to be a huge shit storm when Audrey wakes up. I feel so sorry for my best friend. She's fallen hopelessly in love with a man his already gave his heart away. I wrap an arm around CCs waist as we walk, also brushing Audrey's long copper hair out of her closed eyes. CC let out a loud sigh.
"Andy? We are going to need to stop soon. I need a break, or someone else needs to carry her. We have a lot of other we are carrying too. Can we take a rest? It's still another two miles or so back to camp."

Andy turned, his arm around Juliet. "Yeah, let's go another five minutes or so and we can catch a break and get some water and take a seat for a little bit. I just don't want to be out here when night falls."
"Understood," Ashley said, he was supporting two women who struggled to walk.

My feet felt like lead. My spine could have fallen out of my back if I didn't know it was impossible. I was so exhausted and all I wanted right now was to fall in bed and sleep for a few days. My sandals had worn away the skin on the backs of my heels, and every step irritated the blisters further. I couldn't take them off unless I wanted to burn the soles of my feet again. I knew I was getting more and more sluggish. When Andy finally said we could stop, I literally just collapsed face first in the sand, appreciating the feeling of no longer holding my weight in my feet. CC quietly chuckled and he placed Audrey down before he sank to his knees next to me. He gently rolled me over, and he put his arms over me, and then smooched my lips before rolling off me and laying on his back in the sand beside me.
"Can I have snack?" I asked as I rolled onto my side.
He groaned and sat up pulling a small black bag over to us. His hands removed some fried chips we had made. One thing CC and I shared was love of food. I might be a tooth pick and only 5'2" but I fucking love my food. I crunched away at our snack, glancing between Jake and Audrey every few moments to make sure each was OK. Jake was sitting in the sand, looking at Ella's body in the sand in front of him. He looked like a statue as he held her lifeless hand in his. I wished I could comfort him, but Jake was such an independent and silent person it was difficult to ever know just what he was thinking or feeling. CC was great friends with Jake and even he had no idea what to do. I was glad though that Jinxx had finally gone over and sat with Jake.

I borrowed CCs canteen and took a few gentle sips from it before passing it back and helping pack the rest of our stuff. I told CC I could take the backpack, but he refused to let me carry anything. Andy offered to carry Audrey for a mile or so, so CC could relax a bit. Jake once again walked with Ella in his arms. CC wrapped his arms around me and we walked with his arm over my back and holding my arm and mine around his waist, where I twined my fingers in the side of his belt loop on the other side of his hip. It was starting to get dark and we still had another mile and or so, but we finally could start to make out the camp off in the distance. We all picked up our pace, ready to all be home. CC took Audrey back from Andy as we came near the gates. People ran from their shelters around the camp to greet us and open the fences into the camp. They had food ready for us and everything. CC and I went to the infirmary to leave Audrey in the hands of Maria again.

I was exhausted, but CC forced me to come to dinner with him. I lazily swallowed some food and then started slumping over, resting my head on CCs strong bicep. I was drifting in and out of sleep as CC carried me through the camp and up the stairs to the leaders refuge. I felt my body rest into a soft mattress. The bed dipped and then CC pulled my body up to his. I couldn't help but smile as I could feel his chest moving against my shoudler blades and his pulse gently pounding with mine. I held his hand in mine as he brought it over my side and rested it with mine on my stomach. He covered us with a soft blanket and I found sleep so easily, smiling as I drifted into sweet dreams of CC.

Audreys POV
Everything is so dark and difficult. Am..am I spinning? What is that sound? Fire? Are the shadows burning me? Am I dead? Why is their so much pain? How am I still alive? Am I hanging?
My wrists are on fire. My side is screaming in pain. I opened my eyes. The room is blurring.
As it begins to clear I see, I'm...I'm alone?
How did I get back to infirmary? Is this all a dream? I must be dead and this is where my mind was most at ease. Or I am dying and my brain decided to take me back here instead to acknowledge I'm dying slowly in the hall of the handing dead in the tower. Nothing was worth it. I'm dead. I'll never be able to tell Jake that I love him. I'll never tell Blair goodbye or how much I loved her like my sister. I couldn't thank CC for watching over her or Andy for the wonderful advice.

Its all done for me. It seems that best things in life do come with a price. My brothers always told I was the star that burned the brightest in the sky, but I guess I was the one that faded the fastest, dead at age 19. I'll always feel its right, even when they've ended the fight, but now I've welcome myself home, because it is so nice. It's all done for me. I'm dead. I'm dying. I give up.
