Mia was sitting at the table, shirt off for Liz to fix a fresh bandage on her shoulder, when she heard Jake. She grabbed her shirt as he thumbed towards the door. Mia stared at him and glanced at Liz," Jake, give us a few to finish and we will come and have a look." She could see heads through the screen door. " Liz, just tape it up, it's rinsed and that's good for now." She glanced at Jake," you see Nate and Hy on you way back?" Liz 's words had concerned her. Should they be back by now?" Jake, Veran went with Nate and Hy out hunting, you all left not long before them, think they should be back by now?" Concern showed in Mia's eyes as she put her shirt back on. " Liz wants to check some of the nearby cabins for supplies, before it gets dark. Maybe you and Dale would wanna tag along with her?" She smiled at Jake and stood up," I can watch those two." She pointed at the new additions he brought back.
Nate pulled up in the truck, he honked it twice to let the others know they were back. He then opened the door, turned it off and stepped out. Slowly he shut it and went around to the back of the truck. Popping it open he reached for his axe and went over what they had found. Little bit of food, and seven rifels. Ammo was their biggest find, they now could supply everyone with guns and ammo, could protect the cabin.
After what just happened he needed to. He was on edge, his body shook and he looed around constantly. Had they been followed, were those raiders out there watching. Nate shook his head, and climbed the steps. He went into the living room and looked at everyone there. He looked at Mia and smiled, but it quickly faded.
"We're back. Uneventful trip. We were attacked, by raiders. A man saved us, we, I, brought him back with us. I figured we could give him a meal, repay him for saving mine and Hykeem's life. It's the least we can do." He saw Jake and looked at the others in the room, "is everyone back? Or are more still out there?"
Liz finished patching Mia up as Nate came in. He looked a bit winded and spoke about them being attacked. Immediately she became alarmed as the others weren't with him, but when the horn honked, it was clear they were not far behind. She went to the door to help them out, but didn't see Dannie and Sterling.
"Who were these raiders? How far are they from us? Who is the new person?"
She was full of questions as she held the door open for Nate and Hykeem so they could bring the new supplies in. Her eyes were looking around for anyone else, but she didn't hear or see anything beyond the men unloading the truck.

Nate looked over at Liz, quickly answering her question. He took a big breath, to calm himself and take a second to think. When he was done he spoke.
"We were Attacked by Raiders. They ambushed me and Hykeem when we were at a farm house. They started shoting, threatning, and set the house on fire. They then hauled us out front and began taking everything we had. They even took our boots and belts, I mean they took everything. Then out of no where they just drop dead. This man, the one stepping out of the truck, he saved us. He killed the raiders as freed us. I figured brining him back here was the least I could do. He saved out lives, I wanted to repay him. Besides that I don't think we were followed. Should be safe now, but someone should be on watch just incase."
Hykeem walked past Liz equipment in his hands as Nate explained what happened. The young man nodded his head thanking Liz as he moved on not wanting to dwell on what happened. As the man walked in he looked over at Mia a smile on his face trying to make it seem as if nothing happened. He walked once again back to the table placing ghe equipment down before looking to Liz. "Sorry didn't have time for rock hunting!" With that the man laughed a bit looking over the group.
He noddedhis head once again this time looking to Jake letting him know he noticed him right before he opened his mouth to speak. "I'm gonna see if I can open the garage. Maybe find something useful. Make some room for my car." With that the man moved towards the door and awaited a reply.

Jake smiled as Mia asked him to wait a couple minutes. “Owkay will do.” He said. Then he heard how she asked if there was any news on Nate and Hykeem. “Euhm nope didn’t see them sorry.” He answered softly. Mere seconds later Mia told Jake that Veran went with them and that they been out for awhile. Jake started to worry as well, but he decided to try and comfort Mia. “They are fine, all strong dudes.” He said with a wink. Shortly after that Mia asked if Jake and Dale could join Liz on sort of supply check. “I’m ok with that, don’t know about Dale, I’ll ask him.” Jake answered with a smile.
Just then they heard two honks. Jake let out a sigh of relief, he was happy that they were back, but a bit irritated that they honked, noise could attract walkers. “I’m happy that they are back but the honk wasn’t needed.” Jake said softly.
Then Nate walked in telling they were back, but he added that they were attacked but saved by a man and they brought him to the lodge to offer him a meal. “Welcome back and oh my god, are you guys ok?” Jake asked in a concerned tone. “Is Veran ok?” he added. “Good idea btw, that guy deserves a meal.” He said as he looked at Nate. Then he heard Nate asking if everyone was back. “No I think Dannie and Sterling are still out I think.” He replied.
Then he just listened to Nate as he explained the full story. After that he turned to Hykeem and gave him a smile as he nodded at Jake. He heard how Hykeem said he was going to try and open the garage. “That would be nice, I hope there is room enough for both you and my car.” Jake said looked at Hykeem adding another smile. Then he turned to Nate. “Is Veran still outside?” he asked.
Mia stared at everyone. What, they all came back at one time? Nate was talking about their run in with raiders, and how some man saved them. She locked eyes on him , then on Hy, "You all okay?" She started to move towards them, and stopped herself. No, they wouldn't want her acting like some hovering female. She looked Nate over, then glanced at Liz, 'We need to get Sterling and Dannie back here, if their are raiders roaming around, we need to set up a watch, sooner the better." She glanced at Jake, the Hy, as they spoke about sticking their vehicles in the garage. She chewed on her bottom lip for a moment, "Where is Dale and these two that you found, Jake?" She headed for the porch. Mia wanted to check these guys over and move on to the next thing. Never a dull moment, it seemed. She looked around, and didn't see Dannie or Sterling. That concerned her.
Jacob waited a short while when the truck stopped. He waited until the other men got out. He didn't follow them inside, instead just stepped out and waited. He didn't feel welcome yet, but in tone he would. He watched them go into the house, and could see shapes in the windows. The men were talking to their friends, deciding if he could stay with them.
"Should we stay? We coul jus run," he said aloud, "take the truck."
"No these are good people. You want to stay, be safe don't you. You think these people can do that," he answered.
"Yeah I do. Maybe we should stay. You're right."
"Good. I knew you'd see reason. They will fun, I promise."
He smiled as he went to the back of the truck and grabbed his gear. First it was loose bundle and he tucked it under his arm. After that he grabbed his other bag, making sure his clothes and canteen were still in place. He saw the large femur strapped to it, it would be hard to explain, but he could do it. The axe made out of the hip still hung from his belt, clattering as he walked. On his body was the make shift gear, hockey pad on his torso, bottom of boots duck taped on his arms. He had kneed pads used for gardening, and rubbed hip waters tied on his hips. It was his biter gear, there teeth deflected it.
The smile fades as he pulled on his pack and grabbed his hunting rifel, placing I on his back under his bag. The bundle still under his arms as he walked to the cabin. He climbed the steps quietly and looked inside. He knocked three times before entering.
"Hey sorry, hope im not interrupting. I'm Jacob, I saved your friend." He waved the bundle, "I brought in the guns we had collected. Whete should I set them. If you want me to wait outside I can."
The worry in her face was likely apparent. Mia seemed to have it together, but without Dannie and Sterling back with them, she couldn't be settled like that. Her brow was furrowed as she let the men in, followed by a complete stranger that claimed he was the one that saved them all. They did mention some guy that helped them out and as she held the door open, she felt herself press tighter against it as if to keep a good enough distance away from him when he strolled in.
Once they were in, she shut the door and continued to look out, wringing her hands as they spoke about going and getting them.
"They were going to search the perimeter. Probably to get rid of any stray walkers. Someone should go and get them. I'm afraid Sterling isn't exactly as strong as he needs to be for hunting."
She was hoping she wouldn't have to prepare for more injuries, but she knew she would have to get it set up. She went back to going through the boxes and hauling medical supplies up and down the stairs, setting up the two day beds that were in the loft. People could use them to sleep if they wanted until a medical emergency arose.
"We're fine, all the raiders that attacked us are dead, at least the ones that were near us. Nobody followed us, but that doesn't mean there aren't more out there. We should have someone on watch at all times. If that was the last one then we should be fine. If it wasn't, well we just can't take that risk. They were going to kill us, not just take everything, I don't want that to happen to any of you."
"Veran is fine, he stayed at the truck so he didn't run into them. Veran didn't say much, we didn't have time to talk. I wanted to leave right away. Where did Sterling and Dannie go to? I'll go get them while you finish unloading all the supplies, there isn't much, we didn't have time to find everythig. My pack has food on it, and there's a bundle of guns."
He saw Jacob come in and looked at the bundle he brought. "So here's the guns. Jacob, he was the one who saved us. He said he killed all the ones around us. I say he can stay for the night."
Nate crossed his arms, looking at the others. "I'll get Dannie and Sterling, I'll be back."

Jake looked at Mia as she asked about Dale and the new people. “They should be outside.” Jake said with a smile. Then he listened to Nate who explained everyone was fine, including Veran. “Thank god.” Jake said softly. But he also heard how worried Nate was and he nodded as Nate said there should be someone on watch at all times. “Nate is right, we should make a schedule.” Jake said.
Then Jake his attention was drawn to the door as he heard knocking. “Who’s there?” Jake joked. Then he saw the new guy coming in and listened as he spoke. “Well thanks for helping him out and welcome in the cabin.” Jake said with a smile.
Then he listened to Liz as she spoke about Dannie and Sterling, followed by Nate saying he would get them. “Ok be careful though.” he said as he looked at Nate.
Mia watched and listened as everyone spoke about raiders and then the knock came. She stared as Nate introduced Jacob. Her eyes ran over the older man, and she felt herself stiffen S she saw and recognized the bone dangling off his hip. The one that had been made into as axe. Mia moved closer to Liz as she forced a smile," thank you Jacob, for helping our friends."
Nate was leaving to go and look for Dannie and Sterling. Jake was gonna follow Hy and do something with the vehicles. They were gonna leave them alone with this man? Her pulse quickened. She didn't really know why, but she didn't trust this man. He used Han bone for weapon, for starters. Was it from a walker, or ha he killed the person. Too many variables. Mia glanced at Liz. Had she seen it, did she know what it was at his hip? Mia spoke quickly," Jake, can you stick around for a minute and help Liz and I get these boxes upstairs?" She didn't want to be alone with Jacob.
Both the one named Nate and Hykeem were leaving. That left him with a bunch of strangers. He at least had a reason to be with the other two, he saved their life, they owed him. But these others, they didn't know him from a hole in the ground, and he felt he wasn't going to be welcome much longer if he kept up this routine.
The one guy who made a joke when he came in seemed to be leaving as well, but the one girl didn't want that. He watched her, how she look frightened at him. He just smile and saw she noticed his axe.
"It's Deer if you're wondering," he said pointig to it, "sharp though. I've had it chip a few times. Waste nothing I say, like the Indians. This deer lasted me almost a year, last part I have of it."
He looked back at the other man, "don't feel he has to stay because of me. I can help with the boxes. it would be nothing, you can go out. When I was coming in you seemed concerne about a Veran, I'm sure you want to see yourself if he's okay."

Jake was about to go with Hykeem as he heard Mia speak. She was asking if Jake could give a hand with the boxer. He turned around and looked at her, it was then that he noticed a small fear in her eyes. They knew each other for awhile now and he was pretty close to Mia, friends wise of course, since she had Nate and Jake had his hot pirate.
He looked at her for a couple seconds and then it hit him, she didn’t trust the new guy and if he would join Hykeem, Mia and Liz would be alone with him for a short time. Jake was just about to speak up as the new guy interfered. He said he would help with the boxes and told Jake to check on Veran, this caused Jake to get a bit suspicious as well. So he smiled at Mia and gave her a no worries look. “No it’s fine, Jacob was it?” Jake asked in a friendly way. “You rest a bit I’ll give the girls a hand, I’ll join Hykeem later on and check on Veran before I do, but I’m sure he’s fine, since Nate told me” he added with a smile.
Emre came face to face with the biter, it was certainly within arms length. It could easily grab him from there, but whatever it planned to do, it was too slow. Emre lifted the hatchet in his hand and slammed the blade into the bastard's head, blood spattered everywhere. Well, he'll probably need a change of clothes after this, but that didn't matter at the time. It was like time slowed down, he began to assess his options. Option A, take out all of these fuckers and continue to look for food. Would help with cleansing the woods with biters, but too damn risky, could easily get killed. Option B, grab the food and run the hell outta there. It was less of a risk than Option A, but he doesn't want to end up leading a bunch of biters back to the cabin. Finally, Option C, take out as many as possible, grab the food and run back to the cabin, warning the others immediately if any of them follow him. It seemed like the best plan so far so he went with it, plus time was running out for him to decide.
He turned around rapidly, swinging his hatchet around with him at head height. As he did so, it seemed the biter was recognisably tall, so he only managed to penetrate the neck. Out of good old mindless action, he head butted the biter and pulled out his hatchet, that should keep it distracted long enough for him to kill it. He quickly swung again for it's head, this time hitting it perfectly. He was about to move onto the next biter, but the noise of growls got incredibly loud and he noticed more were appearing. Shit, he had to get out of there, fast. He quickly grabbed the food, slipped between two biters and ran as fast as he could back to the cabin. It was a good thing he always used to run a lot, even though the bastards were slow as hell.
He made his way back to the cabin, extremely tired and breathing very heavily. He opened the door and closed it immediately. He then leaned against the wall catching his breath, he'd probably get asked what the hell just happened, so he needed time to think.
Liz had just come downstairs from bringing a lighter box up there when she heard everyone talking about going and getting Dannie and Sterling. In her mind, only one person needed to go and as she reached down for a smaller box, Mia edged a little closer to her as they both stared at the new guy. He was a larger fellow and an unknown to them both. Mia was right to ask Jake to stay and she half smiled to the man as he spoke about the bone being deer.
"Thanks Jacob. It's just a couple of boxes." She looked towards Jake as he agreed to stay and help them out while the new guy rested.
"Jake is right, you should rest. We'll wait for the others to get back." She could practically feel the nervousness oozing off of Mia and while holding the small box, she reached her hand down and wrapped her fingers around Mia's fingers to show support and solidarity.
Mia smiled at Jake. He got what she was after and why. Jacob said the bone was deer. Still didn't make her trust him. She felt Liz''s fingers wrap hers and she squeezed then gently. Glad to know Liz understood as well. This guy could have saved them for his own reasons. You can't just trust people anymore.
The door burst open and Emyre came through, shit it and leaned against the wall to catch his breath. "what the hell happened to you? Where's the girl?" Mia stared at him then let go of Liz's hand, going into nurse mode. She scanned what she could see for blood and bites." Are you bitten, Emyr?" She was right up on him, face to face," look at me, are you hurt?"
Post by Jake Porter on Jun 19, 2015 19:00:19 GMT -5
Jake could see he got what was going on as Liz also said the guy should rest. “Listen to the ladies.” Jake said with a smile. He noticed that Mia smiled at him and he was glad she was feeling safer, so he winked again.
Just then Emre rushed in loudly as the door flew open. Jake looked at him and he could see something went wrong. But he also noticed that Mia was already on it. She asked Emre what happened, where the girl was and finished by asking if he was bitten or hurt.
Jake also rushed to his side and softly tapped his arm. “Answer her, dude come one, what’s going on?” he asked worried.
It seemed no one wanted him to help. He could agree to that. He was a stranger, and they didn't want him messing and moving their things. They didn't trust him, it was understandable. The young brunette lady definitely didn't like him. He would have to change that, if he wanted to stay he'd have to get them to think like the guy with the limp. He seemed to accept him, maybe he'd hae to save their lives too.
Jacob nodded at them. "As you wish," he said looking at them. "If I'm to rest, is there a place I can put my things. Just for right now, someplace out of the way."
He saw the door open and moved out of the man's way. The other questioned him asking if he was bit. They all jumped to attack him, shoving questions in his face. He didn't know the man but he felt the question was right. The other man could have asked a little nicer, but he wouldn't judge. If they needed his help he would offer it. If not he would just remain silent in the back.
Dale stayed outside for most of what was going on inside, witnessed the truck pull up, and noticed the new addition to that group. His intuition told him something was off about this guy, whether it was the way he walked, or the look in his eyes, he had an aura of danger about him. It wasn't unusual to feel that way about people the way the world worked now, but it was different than that somehow.
He shrugged it out of his mind and looked over at Skylar, and frowned, "Looks like things are heating up as usual. Can't catch a fucking break. Lets just stay out here for now and wait to see what happens." He crossed his arms and started tapping his foot. He wanted to hear what was being said inside, but he was, unfortunately, too deaf for that. From the tone of people's voices, however, he could tell there was quite a bit of confusion. Before he even realized it, Emre came running past him and shut the door. Dale quickly signaled Skylar and Grey to get into the truck to protect his father, and pulled out his revolver and pistol in each hand.
As he looked over the horizon at the ready, he watched a walker stumbled towards the cabins. Then there were two, and then three, and then he stopped counting. He simply muttered, "Holy hell. I just took a bath."
