Jesus Christ Henry! i was worried sick about you! If you ever go out on a run again and don't radio in to tell me your okay i'll skin you Henry! You hear me! i will god dam skin you! Where are you at? i'm just getting up. I'm out behind my tower just follow the red flags on the trees and you'll find where i'm at... There's a nice little trail for you to follow... Ali's voice came over the radio like a desert spring to a thirsty man; Henry smiled as he looked around and saw the red flags marking the way out to the South Tower. Driving along, he thought, God, I love that woman, taking a moment to slide his finger along the wedding band he kept on his right ring finger.
Continuing along, he eventually caught sight of the South Tower and honked the horn on his F150 so that Ali - and anyone else watching - would know he was coming; no sense getting shot driving up, he mused...after another minute or two of driving, he finally came to a stop within short walking distance of the Tower; pulling up to a stop, he cut the engine off and sat back, glad to both be alive and glad to be back at the park.
Stepping out of the truck, he grabbed his weapons, slung them over his shoulder, grabbed his Stetson and placed it on top of his head, looked around and called out...."Honey, I'm home..."

Nodding his head, he walked back to Mimi feeling bad for the fire truck. "Well, Im Simon Crawford of Fire Watch Tower 1 up in the northern part of the park. Please don't cause trouble here, or we will deal with you. If you ever need to talk to me, either hike up that way, or you can call me from the Cabin phone inside here. Well, I have to get back to my Cabin and get them bodies out before they start stinking up the Tower...ugh..." Going over to his ATV, he slid back into it. Turning it back on, he went driving to his tower. He was still thinking about how everything went down between himself and Ali. Simon began to feel stupid for just blurting it out like that. After taking the short paths to get there, he stopped his ATV and killed the engine. He just looked up at the Tower. 'It's so damn lonely in there...yet everyone can be happy yet me...why do I ever bother trying to be the nice guy and help others out.' Climbing out, he went up the staircase and then climbed up. Sliding the bolt to unlock it, when he opened it, the smell of death hit him like a ton of bricks. Turning his head, he began to dry heave. Holding his breath, he looked in and saw that the two fat guys were dead, yet moving around. 'Fucking A...it just gets better.'
Whistling, the two fat walkers came for him. He climbed down a bit and spun his whole body on the ladder so he was on the other side of it. The two fat walkers fell out at different times with there heads crunching the way down his Stair case. Shaking his head and going to the right side of the ladder, he climbed up. The smell was still bad. He went to the window's and opened each and every one of them. Grabbing bleach from his one supply cabinet and a brush, he began cleaning up. When he was sure that most of the blood was cleaned up, he grabbed the mic and pushed down on the button. "Mimi, this is Tower One. Both the suspects are dead. I think you put one to many in there fat asses." Letting go of the button, he didn't want to go back down there to drag them heavy boys around to a hole that might not fit them. Plopping into his chair, he took out a pack of Cigs that was in an open carton and a lighter from his desk. Taking a cigarette out, he lit it and let the menthol burn it's way down. Leaning his head back, he took another drag and exhaled it. Flicking the ash, he just sat there as he really didn't want to talk to anyone at this point in time. He just told her how he felt to her and the only thing she could say was " I can't"
On a tree across the way, he set up a few small round metal disc's for his shooting practice. Taking his rifle, he aimed at it. Closing his left eye and opening his mouth, he kept the iron sight on the disc. Squeezing the trigger, the rifle blasted and the familiar DING was heard as he dropped the lever ejecting the spent casing and slamming it back up to feed in a new one. Firing again, he just wanted to get his mind off of things that just happened in the last couple of hours. TO much had went down and not enough time for him to process it.
After a good bit of walking they were finally back to Chance's tower.. Her leaned his bike up against the side of the tower and looked. Chance was feeling a little steadier on his feet. He turned to the girls and told them to wait while he went and grabbed his radio... After coming back down from his tower he held it up and smiled at them, he had indeed wanted to make sure they got to the cabin safe. But the thought of going all the way down to the cabins? That was a long walk and he just didn't have it in him. He didn't want to ride a horse either, he was already woozy and all that bouncy around would probably make him throw up. Pushing down the mic her spoke.
Chance: Hey Mimi, this is Chance. I found what was causing the smoke it was three girls camping out in the woods i brought them back with me, they're all ok i think, no bites or nothing.... i didn't fully check them *Chance started to blush remembering he saw more of one of the sisters than he had inteded to* Uh.... I may... Have crashed the dirtbike and slammed into a rock.
Mimi: Oh my god you did what? How the hell did you do that?
Chance: I hit a rock. Hey listen.. I need to lie down, but is there anyone who can come show them the way to the cabin... I'm not going to make a trip all the way over there i'll collapse before i get there.... Really not loving the idea of getting back on the dirtbike at the moment.
Chance turned back to the girls and smiled awkwardly, he felt kinda bad ditching them after they went out of their way to stitch him up and get him back to his tower, but if they got to the cabin they could freshen up, get something to eat, meet everyone and settle in a bit... He just didn't have it in him to hike all the way out there and back to his tower. He just rememberd about his garden as they stood there when he cast his eyes down for a moment....At least he could thank them for their kindness in some small way.
Chance: If you guys are hungry while you wait, feel free to take something from the garden. I have tomatoes, watermelon and ..... well i got weed if that's your thing... i need to light up myself when i get inside the tower my head is killing me... Oh and if you run into a girl named Mimi... Do me a favor don't let her know how bad i crashed she's a bit of a worrier.

Simon had finished reloading his rifle and was setting his books by his desk. Hearing the broadcast over his main radio, he let out another sigh. Standing up and grabbing the keys for the ATV, he thought better then that. He tossed them back down onto the table and grabbed the keys for the Dodge. Pushing down the button for the standing mic. He replied to Chance's request for help since he decided to be a BooB and crash his bike. Simon wouldn't be surprised if he crashed because he was admiring one of the gal's bodies.
Simon: Tower 1 here, I'm heading out towards you now Chance. I'll bring them some food if they want some. I got enough to share over here. Tower 1 out.
He went over to his food stash and looked over everything. Boxes of cookies, packs of beef jerky, a bag of fresh vegetables. Grabbing a small box, he began to put food into it. MRE's, Jerky, some vegetables, three bottles of fresh water. Standing up, he grabbed the pack of smokes and the lighter and placed them into his left leg cargo pocket. Slinging his rifle over his neck and shoulder. He climbed down a bit, shutting the trap door and locking it, he slid down the rest of the way on the ladder, landing softly on the steps. He walked down the staircase and went to his truck. Placing the box in the passenger seat as he climbed into it. Shutting the door, he took his key and turned on his truck hearing the engine roar to life. Smiling a bit, he rubbed the dash board. "You know what, we might leave later for a run into town. Need to get out of this park for a little while." Unslinging his rifle and putting it on the rifle rack. He Put the truck into 1st gear, he turned the wheel and had it aiming for Chance's Tower. Turning on the CD player, Skillet Hero began to play as he drove through the forest on the path.
Ten minutes later, he came up to the tower to see Chance standing among a group of lovely looking women, and one of them looked like she was pregnant. They had...horses? Huh, that's a bit different he thought to himself. Going around the tower so that the driver side door was aiming towards them, he killed the engine. Opening the door, he stepped out and closed it behind him. Reaching in and grabbing his box, he pulled it out of the door and placed it on the hood of his truck. "Ok, I'm here to help you three ladies to get to the camp. I'm Simon Crawford. In this little box there's a bit of food from my stash. Feel free to grab whatever you like. I don't mind. Now in this truck, I can hold two more in the cab and one on the tailgate. If you want, we can tie the horses to the tow hitch and I'll drive slowly so that I don't hurt them. Up to you on what you three want to do."
Pulling out the pack of cigs and the liter. He took one out and lit it. Placing the Pack and lighter on the hood next to the box, he took a heavy drag off it and blew it out slowly. He looked over at Chance who was looking at him smoking. "What? Never knew I smoked? You'd be surprised Chancey boy."
Ali stepped outside to see if she could spot Henry... She was standing on the cabin's porch peering through the trees and finally she did see him standing there like a dunce staring up at her tower... I thought i told him to follow the red bits of cloth nailed to the tree. She thought.. Standing there looking at him though in his cowboy hat and his cute little wrangler jeans completely oblivious and unable to follow simple instructions she started to grin... The big dummy she thought with a laugh, but god did she love him... They had been together a long time, before the outbreak, before pairing up with someone was done out of necessity instead of choosing your company for love. He was, in fact the love of her life. He was a bit older than Ali and that was ok. He was kind, and funny at times, he was always giving her cause for worry, but that was a good thing, the fact that she worried told her something. It told her that her life wouldn't be the same without him in it... She stepped down off the pourch optin not to radio him but to just creep up on him... She made her way through the trees and through the tall grass and found him still staring up at the tower... When she got right up on him she heard him say.. "Honey I'm home."
Ali: Are you now?
She said with a laugh and grabbed his shoulders from behind. Trying and succeding in scaring the pants off of him. She giggled a bit, it was good to see his handsome face. She leaned up on her tippy toes and kissed him on the lips. Her hand still on the side of his face. Her mind wasn't thinking about Simon anymore, wasn't thinking about how confused she had been last night. She was in the moment and in THIS moment, she wanted to be with her husband. Ali grabbed his hand leading him along back into the woods pulling him behind her as she made her way back to the cabin that wass competely hidden away by the trees and branches. She revealed to him her favoirte place to go and be alone, because she didn't want to be alone anymore. She only wanted time alone with Henry...
Ali: Our own private getaway.... Shall we go inside?
She said still smiling as she reached up and nipped him on his ear. She didn't wait for an answer she grabbed him by his hand and pulled him along further still inside and she turned to face him once the door was shut... Henry didn't know about the cabin until now. Didn't know it was even here. Ali had kept it private because well.... Sometime she needed to be alone, but the thought of being alone without her husband made her sick now.. She thought of how bad the crushing lonilness had been recently as she threw her arms around his neck and kissed the warmth of his rough cheek. She placed her head on his chest and swayed with him a bit right there in front of the front door. She didn't care if it was silly or not, she was just enjoying being close to him right now.. Her head laid on his chest with a tiny bit of sadness in her eyes as she remembered the lonliness... She looked up at him and instantly started to smile again....
Ali: I really missed you Henry. I wasn't sure if you were going to come back home to me. You were gone so long.
Her smile was soft and her eye were greatful, greatful to see him and hold him once more. She could face 1,000 walkers if she had to, just to have him back and she did not. If he ever was lost, she'd battle every star in the sky just to find him and she would do it with no fear at all other than the fear of facing this world without her husband... He was the reason she could afford to be so brave.

Almost as soon as he spoke, Henry felt the sweetest words a husband could hear... Are you now? Turning as she grabbed his shoulders from behind, he felt her warm hand on his face as she raised up on her tiptoes and kissed him; holding her close to him, he returned the kiss with equal parts passion and relief. Taking hold of his hand, Ali lead him down a nearby path away from the South Tower towards their private cabin...as they stopped in front of it, Ali looked over and said, Our own private getaway.... Shall we go inside?
After opening the door, Henry reached over and picked Ali up in his arms, carrying her over the threshold just as he did when they were first married, kissing her each step inside; once inside, he set her down and shut the door behind him, looking at her as he did. Standing there, her arms around his neck, he leaned down and kissed her again, this time entirely with passion in his touch, holding her right next to him as they stood there... I really missed you Henry. I wasn't sure if you were going to come back home to me. You were gone so long.
"I missed you too, Ali," Henry whispered, sliding his hands around her and holding her close; looking at her as they stood there, he kissed her again and quietly said, "I want you, Ali," pausing to begin unbuttoning his shirt and setting his Stetson down on a nearby table, "I...want....you...."
Sophia helped the man push his bike back to his tower area that was his home. He went to get the Radio right after her sisters arrived with their four horses and all their camp stuff. Sophia moved over to her sisters and mounted her horse her eyes moving around the area. Eventually, Ranger Rick came back down from his tower. She listened as he called over and spoke to someone on the other end. A female's voice came back but only once as he asked someone to come and show them to the cabin. An annoyed sigh escaped her lips as she waited to know this wasn't really her plan to make a home with people.
Once he was done on the radio he offered them Fresh produce while they waited for someone to show up. He even offered weed to smoke which she looked to see Olivia's eyes light up and ava also seemed happy about it. Wasn't long before another male's voice came over the radio and said he was heading to them. The whole idea made her uneasy because they knew nothing about these people. Yeah, she was a cold bitch but she didn't want her sisters hurt even Ava whom she didn't get along with. Leaning towards her sisters she tugged them to lean in as well.
"If this goes south. we bail and take the horses in separate directions. Circle back to the camp." She whispered into their ears before looking back at the man they had stitched up. The sound of a motor came into range and she turned her horse to see the vehicle stop and one man stepped out of it. He went on about being there to help them get back to the camp and that they could ride in the truck with him. Have the horse follow tied. She moved her horse forward and stopped him a foot away from the man.
The large Warmblood cross stood like a towering figure. "Yeah about that Boyscout Bill. We just watched ranger rick Crash his bike in the woods because he was obviously a moron and not paying attention. Not gonna let my sisters get into a vehicle with anyone. We will stick to Horseback." She spoke bluntly looking down at the man. Looking over to her sisters the both seemed to be giving apologetic glance to the men but she didn't. She spoke it as she saw it.

Looking up at her, he had a feeling that she was going to be a trouble maker and probably self centered. Crossing his arms as he took off his shades. Raising a brow up at her, he knew one thing. He wasn't liking her at the moment. "Ok Your highness. I'm sorry if I had offended your High standards of Living. You must be the up tight, stuck up prissy type, thinking they are mightier then the sword. I'm going to guess you shit out Diamonds as well. To you two, you two can share the supplies then if her Highness deems it ok for you to do so, or doesn't she trust a person just Trying to be nice towards her and her sisters? I don't know why you don't get to know somebody instead of being a straight out bitch first." Grabbing the box of food and water, he placed it on the bed of the truck and slid it to the tailgate. Grabbing his smokes and lighter, he jumped back into his truck and shut the door.
Opening the ash tray, he flicked some ash into it as he sat there waiting to see what they were going to do. He didn't really care what they chose to do. They could rape Chance for all he could care less at this point. Taking another heavy drag off the cigarette, he blew out the smoke from his nose as he watched them from his side mirror. Leaning his head against the head rest, he thought about the raping thing. He shook his head, 'Bad thing to bring up...bad thing to think of.' Looking at his watch, he had seen it was starting to get late. Leaning out his head out the door. "Not trying to be a pain in your Royal Ass Miss, but we need to get going to Camp. I still gotta drive out into Town, Chance...is there anything you need while I'm out?"

Coming into the camp just before the man she had stitched up went upstairs to his tower to get something. She sat on her horse and looked at both her sisters wondering about all these people and how they survived out here. She assumed they had to be good hunters and trackers by now. Would make it problematic if that had to escape on the horses. When the man returned he was talking to a girl over the radio and Sophia Climbed on her horse. Leaning in giving them specific instructions to bail if things went down hill. which was the best option for them because 3 against 18 wouldn't work.
The man offered them watermelon in the meantime and it made her stomach rumble. She was pretty starving at this point since they never got breakfast. Nudging her horse forward she moved to find the Patch of crops. Climbing down off the horse she found a watermelon that wasn't too big for her to handle carrying. Finding a place to sit in a grassy patch she pulled out a knife and carved into the fruit. It was quite yummy and made the child in her stomach quite happy as well.
The sound of a motor made her eyes move to find the cause. A vehicle stopped near her sisters and a man stepped out. He wasn't bad looking either and seemed quite polite. He offered them a ride but of course Sophia had to jump all over the guy with her normal Frigid bitchiness. An apologetic look came on her face as she ate the watermelon piece and rose from her seat. Olivia had joined her as well but now they both waited to see what would happen.
The man Completely shocked her and returned Sophia's attitude and snarkiness. It was enough to make ava's jaw drop and obviously Lic was in shock too. They didn't know how Sophia would react to her attitude being given back to her by anyone but them. Picking up the remaining watermelon Ava Carried it to the truck. After that, she handed the reigns of her horse to Olivia and shot a grin towards Sophia before climbing into the truck. Shutting the door she Looked at Simon with a grin on her face. "You got some major balls dude."
Sophia sat back in the saddle looking down at the man before her. She watched as the shades came off and she was taken in to see the icy blue eyes below them. Just by his facial expressions, she knew she struck a nerve with him but she wasn't expecting what came next. No one spoke to her in the manner of tone and sarcastic manner that he did. Except for her sisters but that was different and it enraged her. The expression on her face would show the anger she felt.
"Yes your right Pheasant, I do for a fact shit diamonds and am mightier than the sword. Bow down before queen Bitch. Oh, and Men don't know how to be nice. They play the role and screw over the females they come in contact with." She said harshly to the man as she watched him move a box of supplies into the back of the truck.Moving her horse towards the man's door when he spoke to her again she scowled. "Lead the way Boyscout Bill."
She spoke and her head turned watching Ava place watermelon into the bed of the truck and she handed the reigns of her horse to Olivia before climbing into the truck. Olivia was back on her horse and they were ready to go. tugging the reigns back she made her horse back away from the truck door so they could get this venture on the road. Taking the Lead rope of their father's horse carrying the camp pack and all their belongings she glanced over at Olivia angrily and let a deep sigh escape her.
This man was going to be a pain in her ass and that was a given. She didn't even know how to truly respond to him because normally her angry sarcastic response made men crumble and not challenge her. There was a first for anything but he better watching his back. The whole situation frustrated her and she began to think she was losing her touch.

Before turning the truck back on, he heard Sophia speaking again and this time, he wasn't amused at all with what she had just said to him. "Yes your right Pheasant, I do for a fact shit diamonds and am mightier than the sword. Bow down before queen Bitch. Oh, and Men don't know how to be nice. They play the role and screw over the females they come in contact with." Shaking his head, he took a drag from his Cigarette and exhaled slowly as he stepped back out of the truck to face her dead on with his Icy blue eyes. "Your right, some men do play that role and fuck it, maybe you should look at a mirror and look at yourself. Wait, maybe you would just see yourself playing with your hair and admiring how beautiful you are. Some men get drunk and get violent, some men rape little boys much like my old principal, some men like the thrill of the kill. Me, I'm doing a nice thing by offering you and your sisters a way to go to the camp and get to know everyone. Instead here I am standing here arguing with the Queen of Nothing to whom she sits in her Kingdom of Dirt! So either Shut up and tag along, follow a map I give you, or Get your lousy ass out of this Park. So pick your poison Miss. And don't you Ever try to put me in that category of men again. Because some women are just as worst as the men." Going back in his truck, he shut the door behind him and turned on the truck.
He heard his passenger side door shut. Looking over, he saw one of the sisters who was pregnant sliding in onto the seat. She told him he had some major balls. He shook his head as he shifted the truck into first gear. "No, just called having a back bone to a damn bully. A big difference. Dealt with them my whole life. Before and after being raped. Everyone wants to title you or look down at you. The only thing you can do is put a line in the sand and stand up to them. Most of the time it's because they are hurting from a pain in their life or they are just that low on self esteem." Driving slowly like he said he would, it was going to take a bit longer then how he would normally take it. Putting the cigarette out in the ash tray, he closed the tray back up. The CD player began to play Johnny Cash, Hurt. Rolling his eyes a bit, he found one of Henry's CD's it would seem. He thought to himself as he kept driving carefully. Turning slowly around a turn and going towards the camp.
Grabbing his Radio, he would key in on the button for the Radio. "Simon to Ali. Is your Husband back? We got some Horses that might need to be looked over. I'm also bringing back the three ladies. Now I see why Chance really didn't want to take them to the camp sight. The one speaks with alot of Poison on her tongue. Come back over." Setting the hand held radio on his lap as he picked up the speed a bit, he wanted to drop them off a bit faster now.

Welp that was certainly a well round of warm welcoming. He could guess things might be tough on everyone here or maybe the guy just had a rough day. Either way he was glad to be here, better than on the road constantly scared of an angry walker mob coming after ya. And they had supplies, a plus since he wasn't sure if his last resource, a snickers bar, was still on the truck or already eaten. Heading back to Bessie he was gonna make her his tent for now until someone specified. He kinda liked it, beds were just too soft now.
Opening the back he checked to see what kind of stuff he still had. Other than some of the punctured hoses and a ladder still in good shape he has a bag of canned goods, rope, a hatchet, a spare donut tire, and a sleeping bag. All of what a big boy needs in the apocalypse. Once he closed the door and got a look around he noticed some pamphlets at the park entrance gate. Maybe there was a map there? He could go exploring for a little while before nightfall hits.

Sophia was ready to follow the vehicle when boy scout blue eyes got back out. It was at that point that he laid into her about her claim of how all men were. He also mentions something about his high school principle raping him. Just the mention of it made her heart drop to her stomach and her face went semi-pale. He finished with telling her to follow or leave the park basically. The memories of what had darkened her past which made her hands start to shake gently. When the truck started to move Sophia handed off the lead of their dad's horse to Olivia and with some clicks of her tongue the animal charged off past the truck.
Hitting the trail they followed to get to the tower she nudged the horse to move with haste into a gallop. Following the trails down past where the camp sight was she made turns and didn't really care where she ended up at the moment. The trail she turned on seemed like it hadn't been traveled on much because a few trees were down which wasn't really an issue for her warmblood horse. She used to compete with him and take home first place prizes all the time. what she wasn't expecting was a few deer to dash out in front of them causing her horse to slam on breaks and throw her over his head and rolling into a small tree.
The wind knocked out of her and she laid on the ground trying to gasp and catch it again. "Stupid pain in my side boy scout." She mutters as she regained her breath. She stayed on the ground for a while just trying to keep the bad memories out of her mind. Yet the tears still fell and seemed to be unstoppable. She knew that way he must've felt having something like that happen. Then having to live with it and not fall apart.

The sight of the beautiful one in his eyes rode off ahead of him and taking a side trail which lead's to his tower. Shaking his head, he kept driving on the path to the camp site. "She is heading for my tower. Since it's getting dark, she can rest at my tower for tonight. These trails are sketchy at night when you don't know them to well. You can get lost and hurt and no one will ever notice. Once I drop you two off, I'll head back up to my tower to make sure she's alright." He did feel a bit bad for saying such harsh things at her, but it shows her that he won't stand for such acts of ignorance. He can deal with alot, hell he's been dealing with Chance and his girlfriend talking to each other and being all cute and shit for three years. Picking up the speed a bit, he shifted into second gear. The path had gotten a little bumpy that rocked both him and Ava in the cab. The person with the horses wouldn't have a problem with this path. After a long six minute drive, they came up to the camp site where everyone was starting to gather around a small fire as someone was starting to make dinner. Pulling around, he stopped the truck and grabbed his radio. "Whoever is at the Camp sight, I have two here that need a place to stay and sleep at. Please make them feel welcome since the one is pregnant." Setting the radio down on the seat, he stepped out of the truck, grabbing the small box from the back he walked over to the passenger side door and opened it for her. When she stepped out, he handed her the small box of goodies and then placed the pack of cigarettes and the lighter in it. "If anyone of you smoke. If not, there's a few people that smoke down here." Nodding his head to her, he closed the door behind her and went back to the driver side and slid into his seat.
Closing the door, he shifted back into first gear and drove off following the path they came from. Instead of staying on the path that lead to Chance's tower, he took the left path and turned on his flood lights that were on top of his truck and on the grill. Driving along, he would see some trees across the path. Shaking his head, he put the truck into four wheeled drive and went off the path going around it kicking up the dirt a bit and swung the truck around and back onto the path. Driving a bit more down the path, he stopped when he saw the horse again, but she wasn't on it. Putting it in neutral and putting on his parking break, he stepped out of his truck. Stepping up onto the bed of his truck, he looked around and saw her laying down by a tree. Jumping down, he ran over to her and slid on his right knee to her. "You ok? Let me check you over, and before you start up again, I was a fire fighter and Brush fire fighter for Wyoming. SO keep your snappy comments to yourself. Does your neck hurt? your back? Ribs?" She looked up at him as his Icy Blue eyes looked over her and then back into her eyes. She shook her head as she told him what hurt. Her side and her ankle was killing her. Nodding his head, he slid an arm under her neck and an arm under her knees. Lifting straight up, he carried her to his truck. Adjusting her so that she was now over his shoulder, he opened the door with his left hand and gently slid her into the passenger seat. helping her with the lap seat belt and tightening it accordingly. Simon shut the door and went to the horse. Click his tongue a couple of times, he had the horse follow him. Tying it's leather straps to the to hitch, he went back to his driver side door and gotten in shutting the door behind him. Putting the truck in first gear and disengaging the park break, he drove slowly to his tower. They weren't really that much further away from it, five minutes at tops. The CD player was off as he sat there quiet, not saying a word.
Coming up to the tower, he pulled it up to it. Neutral, parking break, engine off. He grabbed his Radio and chirped Everyone's radio. "Henry, if your here I need you to swing up to Tower One. Got a horse that needs to join the others down at the Camp sight. It's rider gotten hurt so I'll be treating the rider here at my Tower. And hurry up, it's getting dark." He was getting tired of the fact that it seemed Henry and Ali were now ignoring him. Clipping it to his waist, he grabbed his 30-30 lever action rifle and stepped out. The door shut with a thud. Walking around to the passenger side, he opened the door and helped her with the lap belt. Inching her to him, he lowered his body down so he slid her to his shoulder and lifted. Stepping back, he shut that door to and made his way up the stairs. Biting the leather strap of his rifle, he climbed up with a single arm. It took what felt like forever, but once at the trap door, he slid the bolt inwards unlocking it. Leaning both they're bodies against the ladder, he pushed up on the Trap door and climbed up one more time. Going up, and now standing up with her still on his shoulder, he flipped the trap door with his foot. Walking over to his bed, he sat her down on it. Simon huffed a bit and sat in his chair at his desk. "Well that was fun."

Watching from the passenger's seat Ava saw her sister pick up speed and head off into a trail alone. This was the first time she actually saw someone stand up to her sister and not take her crap. Obviously, he got to her if he got that reaction which meant maybe she needed to be friends with this guy. Nothing that She had ever said to her sister got her to just run off like that. Normally they ended up in a fistfight which Olivia had to break up. Simon said he would drop them off and go find her whenever she rode off to. She wasn't gonna argue because obviously, he could handle her sister.
They made it to a cabin and Simon called out to the residents that there were two new comers with him and one was pregnant. Her face went ghost pale as she looked over at him. He got out of the truck and she just sat there in silence until he came around to her door and opened it for her. "Well good to see chivalry isn't dead." A small smile curved her lips and she tried to regain the color on her face. Climbing out of the truck he handed her a box of supplies. She watched as he got back into the truck and left. Her eyes went to Olivia who was in shock obviously finding out her sister was pregnant.
Not really something she wanted to share. Though her now pale face said it was true. Carrying the small box with one arm she went and grabbed the reigns to her horse and headed towards the porch of the cabin. No one had come out to greet them yet so she sat the box on the porch. "Well yes, it's true if you haven't guessed yet." She said to her little sister as she was unsaddling her horse. "Don't tell Sophia yet because she already gives me a hard time about Rook." She said quietly and looked down to see skid marks purring at her feet.
Once the saddle was off the horse she slipped the horses halter on and gave her the whistle command to not go far. They had trained the horses to stay around but not let anything approach without another command. She then helped her sister with the extra horse carrying their stuff and place it all on the porch. Once the horses were grazing ava grabbed the box and headed inside. "Hello?.. anyone here?"
Slowly Sophia tried to get up but her side was aching and she could feel pain in her left ankle. Her eyes went to her horse which had moved closer and was sniffing her face. "Thanks, Arrow. That was a nice flight buddy." She said pushing the horses face away from her. As if her being hurt wasn't bad enough she heard the motor coming and it was boy scout bill coming to find her. He approached her and asked if she was okay and wanted to look her over. Just as she was gonna object he spoke about being trained. "My side hit the tree and I think my left ankle is sprained. My ribcage hurts pretty bad." She said and didn't start with him.
He moved to Lift her off the ground and took her to the truck. The movement sent pain through her body and caused her to wince. He sat her in the truck and fastened her in before going to secure her horse. After that, they were headed somewhere and within five minutes they were at another tower. She listened to Simon call over the radio to come get the horse and that he would treat her at his tower. So now she was his prisoner basically because with her ankle she couldn't refuse really.
The trip up the flight of stairs was interesting being carried like a sack of potatoes. She was afraid he would drop her and she clung to him desperately until they were finally in the tower and she was placed on his bed. That was finally when she let go and shifted her position on the bed. Her eyes scanning around the tower before they fell on Simon. "Yeah, it was a downright blast. I mean the sudden flight from my horse into the tree. Fun times man." She said in a sarcastic tone. Her face went somewhat softer after that. "I'm not good at this stuff but I'm sorry for what I said to you. I didn't realize that you had such a rough past."
Her tone was soft and apologetic. Her eyes on his icy blue gaze before she looked away. She attempted to move her ankle and felt the pain twinge in it. This caused a squeal of agony come out of her mouth. "I'm sorry I lumped you in the group with other men." She said her eyes moving back to him. Leaning forward she reached to find the edges of her shirt and tugged it over her head. Once it was off it left her in her bikini top and shorts. She looked over he body to see scrapes and cuts plus a huge forming bruise.

His gaze fell on her's, but when she started to lift up her shirt, he stood up and broke the gaze. Grabbing his rifle off the desk, he walked over to the Gun safe. Placing the Rifle in it, and then taking his Colt 45 revolver, then his knife, he set them all up in there spots. Closing the glass doors, he turned around and saw the injuries. Frowning, he went tot he other side of the Tower. Simon detached a metal First Aid kit and walked over to her. Opening it, his Ice blue eyes looked up at her as he knelt down before her. "I got to clean these wounds up before they get infected. If you want, bite my shoulder if it hurts that badly...ok?" Taking out a bottle of rubbing alcohol, he then took a rag from his night stand. Dabbing some of the alcohol on it, he began to gently to clean each scrape and cut on her body. "It's fine...I've come to terms with my Demons of my past...but sadly, heh, I still get the nightmares from it. Been since I was thirteen years old sadly...the age it happened. And I'm sorry for lashing out at you like I did. You probably been through hell yourself. Hence why the hard shell that you put up, correct?"
Once the wounds were cleaned, he applied 'New Skin' over each wound. Grabbing a box of band aides, he would begin to cover each one of the wounds. Having her laying back on the mattress and getting her comfy, he took out a wrapping and began to wrap her ankle and foot. Taking a spare sleeping bag, he placed it on the bed and had her foot resting on it. Going through the box, he found a bag of instant cold pack. Nodding his head, he smacked it on the ground and rubbed it through his hands. As he set it down on her ankle, she could feel it getting cold. "This will help with the swelling. Just relax, and whatever you want to talk about I'm all ears." He explained to her as he sat on the floor and scooted to his desk. His hands on his lap and his legs sprawled out a bit.
Before any reaction could be made the lead to their dad's horses was handed to her and she watched as Sophia took off into the woods. A sigh left Olivia's lips and she followed the truck leading the two horses with her on each side of her horse. She was surprised this man even got under Sophy's skin in the first place. After a time they reached what looked to be a very nice cabin and She overheard the man saying something over the radio about on the two being pregnant. This was shocking news to her about ava.
She could see how pale Ava was when she came to grab her horses reigns and Olivia followed her to the porch. Sliding off her horse she went to work unsaddling. That's when ava asked her not to say anything to Sophia. "I won't sis I promise, But she will find out eventually," she said in a soft tone before letting her horse join the other two off grazing. Leaving the tack on the porch they headed into the cabin. The place seemed like a mansion instead of something you would expect to camp in.
Granted she was used to living in a mansion this took her by surprise. Olivia made her way to a couch and sat down before pulling out a joint which she lit and took a hit. Maybe they would have a happy life in this place. There were other people here somewhere and probably busy so they could wait.
Sophia's eyes followed the man as her stored weapons and then went and fetched a first aid kit. He returned to her side and opened the kit pulling out alcohol. He mentioned cleaning the wounds and if it hurt she could bite his shoulder. "I will be okay." She said softly as he went to work on the wounds. She flinched every so often even though she tried not to. He spoke about accepting what had happened and that he had been 13 when it happened. Then an apology for lashing out at her which she really didn't deserve.
"Yeah seems it takes someone who has battled demons to see it in others. I was fifteen. Stupid freshman in high school and of course when the super hot Football captain asks you to party you say yes." She said her eyes zoning out remembering the events like a home movie."Well he got me to drink a little and took me up to one of the rooms and we kissed but he kept trying to take my clothes off. I told him that I didn't wanna go any further." She said tears forming even though she wasn't aware.
She didn't even feel the icepack on her ankle and she let a sigh escape. "He didn't stop and the music was loud so no one heard me. He raped me and left me there like used trash. I found a girl to take me home and told my parents. They tried to get the cops involved but the guy was the mayor's son and his dad covered it up. I spent the next years of my life having to see him every day at school and then around town when we grew up."
her voice broke at this point and she looked away from Simon who was on the floor. "I hated my sister ava because she ran off and escaped that town when I had to stay and take over the bar for our dad. I lived in hell ever since that night. Hell, I've never even dated since then I just can't let my guard down around men." She said wiping the tears away from her eyes.
Delilah stood at the top of a hill, high up in the surrounding forrest that overlooked Wyoming National Park. She had standing beside her Penelope, her sweet sweet baby girl. Delilah leaned over curling her slender arm around Penelope and kissed her cheek softly. Stroking the side of her angelic face with the back of her hand... She loved her immensly and she would kill anyone who tried to harm her sweet sweet Penelope. Penelope was the first of her children to join her three years ago... And here they are. Standing high up on the ridge overlooking the park... The park that was filled with the poor lost orphans of lost children crying out for Mother...
Mother: Shhhhh..... Don't fret dearies, Mother will come and love you very soon.....
Her hand slipped inside Penelope's and she grasped it tightly as the two of them walked off into the woods... They had been keeping an eye on the park for some time... Mother knew that the children who lived in the park needed her. She would save them, give them a loving mother to keep them safe when they cried out in the night from the terrors that haunted them... And if they were rotten nasty little boys and girls? Well she'd slit their throats and dump their bodies in the woods..... The world is full of naughty children.... Mother does not tolerate naughtiness in the slightest.
Shauna Kelly: That helped, thank you
