It's been 1 day since the purge. The children are scared, and hungry. So is most innocents.
Marcus, Oscar, and Anthony go out with their guns and limited ammo to scavenge for supplies. They eventually find a recently abandoned shophouse and they take some snacks, canned food, and water.
Once they were ready, they ran into someone.
???: Hello, my children.
The person looked to be in his late 50's, and was using a walking stick.
They all immediately pointed their weapons at him.
Anthony: Who are you?
???: My name is Bart Rhock.
Marcus: What's that short for, Bartholomew?
Bart: Yes. We have come to offer you to help a cause.
Oscar: What kind of cause?
Bart: We are the Followers of Ares. We are finding a way to resurrect him from-
Marcus: Yeah I'm sorry, Bartholomew, we aren't interested in joining your little cult.
Bart: ...very well.
More cult members came out of nearby cars and tried to kidnap the trio, but they held back and opened fire. Bartholomew ended up escaping in a car with a few other cult members. They tried to shoot the car, but it was too fast.
They eventually got back to the cabin before any other dangers got in their way.
Gangs followed the three and found out about the 7 in the cabin, and were gonna attack the place.
Marcus and Anthony were talking to Cletus and Kayleigh.
---------------------------------
Cletus: Why did you guys decide to help?
Anthony: What did you expect us to do, kill you guys? The one thing we can do is help.
Kayleigh: You can still get away with killing us.
Marcus: Yeah, but we're not monsters.
Cletus: Why did you even search the place anyway?
Anthony: We thought the place had drugs. Not like weed or anything like that, we mean cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
Marcus: We're sorry about that.
Cletus: Yeah, that's okay. I'm Cletus by the way.
Marcus: I'm Marcus.
Anthony: You can just call me Tony.
Kayleigh: I'm Kayleigh by the way-
---------------------------------
Shots were heard. Oscar ran out the room and look out to see a gang shooting windows.
The 3 kids hid under a bed as Oscar, Marcus, Tony and Myah shot down as many as possible.
Once they thought that they were in the clear, they spotted a familiar face.
"Hail Ares."
