"Take Ruby and go!" he called to me. "The town is up ahead! Take Ruby and find your friend!" he continued, bracing himself as the men got closer. "I can hold them back until you find your friend!"

I hesitated. "I can't just leave you hear by yourself! There are too many of them, I grabbed my own pocket knife and stood beside Faye, Ruby at my side.

"Don't be stupid. We could use your friends help," he told me.

"I am not leaving you here!" I said defiantly. "If something were to happen..." I trailed off, unable to finish the sentence. "Too bad we couldn't just send Ruby to go get her."
