Chapter Fourteen

Present Day

ANGEL GAVE A SHOUT of relief as he dragged his leg out of the trap and fell backward on the ground.

I released the pressure on the spring and joined him, collapsing onto the uneven forest floor, breathing hard and giving in to my shock. Angel had always seemed so invincible to me. I hadn’t even considered what I would do if something happened to him. I didn’t think I’d be able to go on. The world was a scary enough place as it was. How could I possibly navigate it without him by my side?

His hand found mine, and I realized the shakes that had taken over my body were even worse than his.

“It’s okay, Catalina. I’m free. It’s okay.”

I sucked in a breath and nodded. “I know. I was just so frightened.”

He squeezed my fingers. “Hey, do you know what?” His face was still pale. “I was pretty fucking scared, too, for a moment, but it’ll be all right now.”

I smiled back at him. He was always trying to make me feel better, even when he was the one in pain.

Getting to my knees, I took a closer look at his leg. The metal teeth had pierced the material of his jeans and gone into the skin beneath. He was bleeding, and it didn’t look like it was stopping any time soon.

I grabbed his bag and fished out the first aid kit he’d used to patch up my feet. “This thing is coming in handy, huh?” I said.

He gave me a tight smile. “Who’d have thought it.”

I rolled up the leg of his jeans, exposing his shin and calf beneath. There were dents in his flesh where the trap had gotten him, and cuts and blood where they’d pierced the skin. His leg was a mass of red, black, and purple. I winced at the sight. It wasn’t pretty, and I bet it hurt like hell.

I opened the first aid kit and found an antiseptic wipe. Carefully, I wiped down the areas that had gotten cut, and then I patched him up with some Band-Aids. They seemed woefully inefficient considering the state of his leg, but they were all we had.

I looked up at him. His face was still white, making his eyes and the shadow of his beard appearing even darker. I hated seeing him like this.

“Do you think you can walk?” I asked.

He nodded. “I’m going to have to.”

The teeth of the trap were rusted from being in the forest for so long, out in the elements. I didn’t know what sort of diseases it might carry, but he needed to get it looked at and get whatever injections he might need to stop it from getting infected.

“You need a hospital.”

He shook his head vehemently. “No, no hospital.”

“Angelo, don’t be stupid. You’re bleeding. You’re in pain. The trap might have broken a bone, or you could end up with an infection. We can’t just ignore it.”

“I’m not saying we ignore it. We’ll get to a pharmacy.
