The Hunter's Angel

Chapter 20

Seaira's POV

Maggie opens the door slowly, "Hey, everyone," she walks in an opens the door more for Aaron to walk in. "This is Aaron." she says cautiously. Sasha goes inside behind him, and I began closing the door. hearing everyone cock they're guns and walk up to us. 

Daryl comes next to me and peeks out the door before I close it all the way. "We met him outside he's by himself." Maggie states.

Once I closed the door Daryl looks at me and nods as if asking if I'm okay. I nod and rub his arm gently, then focusing back on the problem in hand.

"We took his weapons, and we took his gear." Says Maggie. Daryl immediately starts frisking him for anything he could be hiding. Daryl stays next to me behind Aaron as he starts to speak. 

"Hi." Aaron starts, Judith starts to cry in Ricks arms and he hands her off to Carl, Rick still holding onto his Python in his other hand. 

Aaron starts to walk up to Rick with his hand up like he wants to shake his hand. "Its nice to meet you." but he suddenly stops when he sees the rifles pointed at him. "You said he had a weapon?" Rick asks us, ignoring the stranger.

I walk up to Rick with the stranger's pistol. Rick puts his Python in its holster as I hand him the gun. Rick puts the stranger's gun in his back of his pants and asks the man, "Is there something you need?" 

"He has a camp nearby." Sasha answers. "He wants us to audition for a membership." She states. 

Aaron starts talking. "I wish there was another word. Audition makes it sound like we're some kind of dance troupe. Thats only on Friday nights." he smiles, he thinks its a joke but nobody here even cracks a smile. we are too on edge for this.

Aaron reads the room and looses the smile an shakes his head at himself. probably mentally kicking himself. 

"Um and its not a camp. its a community. I think you all would make valuable additions. But its not my call. My job is convince you all to follow me back home." Aaron says looking around at all of us. 

"I'd use a better word than convince." I said a little to rudely. standing almost next to the stranger. I doubt he is a part of the bad community that destroyed my home, he would have already killed us. he glances at me and talks again. "I know, if I were you, I wouldn't go either. not until I knew exactly what I was getting into. Seaira, can you hand Rick my pack?" he asks me. 

I glance at Rick before doing so. I answer to him not some stranger. Rick slightly nods and I take a few steps to him again and hand the bag to him. "Front pocket, there's an envelope," Aaron instructs. Rick knees down and looks in the bag.

"There's no way I could Persuade you to come with me just by talking about our community. thats why I brought those." he pauses, glancing at me since he used a different word this time. he lets Rick look at pictures that was in the envelope. "I apologize in advance for the picture quality, we just found an old camera store last-" "Nobody gives a shit." Daryl cuts him off. knowing we don't care. 

I actually wanted to know more about the cameras, I use to do photography as a hobby back in the day. If Rick doesn't kill him, I'll have to ask where this store is. 

Aaron slowly turns to Daryl, "Your absolutely hundred percent right." Aaron turns back around to Rick after being intimidated by Daryl. 

"Thats the first picture I wanted to show you, because nothing I say about our community will matter unless you know you'll be safe. if you join us, you will be." Aaron talks about the magnificent wall they built around their so-called community. I look over Ricks shoulder looking at it. panels fifteen feet high with sold steel and massive steel beams holding them in place.
