Chapter 4: Watching

Jax POV:
It has been a month since we lost Iris and Roger has slightly gotten better but he's still sad since he lost his aunt.
On the other hand we are good. I've been taught how to catch fish easier and also how to use a gun better. While I was in prison, I learned how to woodshop so I made a sharp device out of wood when I went to chop some wood.
The winter as here and we needed to pack up and leave for the shelter.
Pascal is now 9 months and could pop soon. So we needed to get going.

At the cabin, it's early morning and Pascal and Jace gathered everyone.
"Everyone we are doing again doing the same chores, Jenny, Johnny, and PT9 y'all handle the fish, Roger I want you to chop wood while I look for some food as well.. we are running low. Pascal and Jax, y'all watch Jill." Jace explained to everyone what the chores were
"Jace honey, let me come with you. Yes I'm This far along but I wanna help." Pascal said to Jace
"Well.. alright. You can. Jax you watch Jill. If you see Mason or anyone that isn't us, don't answer the door."
"I won't."
"Jill! We are leaving! Jax is in charge!" Jenny said out loud as everyone left
Jill comes down stairs to hug both her parents and brother
"Bye! Love y'all!" Jill said smiling
"Love you too, pumpkin pie." Both of the parents said
Everyone has left the house leaving Jill and Jax
"Soo.. how was your life like before being with us?"

When that was said to Me, I didn't wanna respond with the truth but not a lie either

"My life was alright to say the least."
"Oh cool!"
"How was your life before the dead came?"
"Oh it was good. I had a really good friend Buck and me and him were really close! Unfortunately I don't know where he's at.."
"Well I'm sure he'll come along maybe soon.."
"I hope so."

A knock was heard on the door and Jax looked
It was a older guy who was greying, had dark brown hair and facial hair Wearing a jacket
"Hello?" The guy said Whos voice was gruff
"Oh no!" Jill whispered and gasps
"It's Mason!"
"Oh shit.. um go hide. I can take care of this.." Jax told Jill and Jill went to hide behind the chair
Jax went to the door

"Who is it?" Jax said
"Oh I'm Mason. Listen I had a group here who I was with and I thought they were here."
"Oh.. I'm guessing the group isn't here. Sorry I'm here by myself."
"Oh that's fine. Mind if I take a look here?"
"Yes I mind."
"Well sorry I just left something here"
Mason opens the door and lets himself in
"Hm.. not bad." Mason said looking around
While looking in a different side of the room and walking into the kitchen,
Jill has a scared look and Jax signals her to go hide upstairs and mouths "I'll get him out quick."
Jill quietly goes upstairs and hides behind a dresser upstairs
"Soo.. How long have you been here?" Mason said as Jax headed into the kitchen
"I've been here for a few days. I just got here myself."
"Well.. that's cool. Listen are you sure you hadn't seen anyone? A pregnant guy.. or a nurse with those hideous kids of hers and her husband and also a guy who doesn't know how to handle a damn gun huh?"
"Uh nope I hadn't. When I got here it was empty."
"I see."
Jax looks at the knife they had made

I needed to hide the knife just in case of hostages. I was going to put it in the draw but then I didn't cause I didn't want to seem very threatening.

Mason looks at the knife and grabs it
"Did you make this?" Mason asked
"Uh yes.." Jax said
"Wow you must have great skills." Mason puts the knife in a draw
"You know.. Jax. I heard about you. You were in jail for fraud and drugs and then escaped after the dead arose."
"Well first of all.. the fraud part is true but drugs. I never done them at all. The court system is corrupted as fuck." Jax said crossing their arms
"Oh I understand that part. Anyways I'm going to go.. it looks like my group left." Mason opens the front door
"Yeah.. sorry they left."
"It's fine darling. Have a good evening." Mason lefts and Jax closes the door and shudders
"God I hate being called that name by anyone I DON'T know."
"It was true..? You had been in jail?"
Jill said standing at the stairs
"Jill.. yeah I've messed up but it was a one time thing, my sentence was up. Everyone except you knows now."
"Are you.. bad?"
"Jill.. if I was bad then would I be in this group? No. I'd likely die. But I'm good now and always had been."
"Also what do you mean by the court systems corrupted?"
"Oh that's just politic talk. You'll understand when you are older."
"Okay.. anyways I'm hungry."
"Well I have a granola bar here you go."
"Thank you!" Jill is given the granola bar and munches on it.

Later on,
Jax is in the kitchen cleaning up and everyone comes back,
Jace and Pascal and Roger got wood, PT9, Jenny and Johnny got fish and Lazlo and Vidcund come back from hunting stuff
"Alright we are home!" Pascal yelled out.
"Hey um guys.. we all need to have a serious meeting."
"Jax is everything okay?" Lazlo asked
"Well no.. You know how you said to look out for Mason? Well.. he came by and even after I shut the door.. he barged in. Thankfully Jill went into hiding and Mason talked to me and asked questions. Like describing y'all and wondering what happened. I said I was just myself and all. Oh and he mentioned my jail time and now Jill knows." Jax said to everyone
"Oh my god.." Vidcund said
"Okay everyone. Now that Mason knows where we are.. we need to leave and head somewhere." Jace said
"Yeah we need to head to Charlington." Johnny said
"Alright, we need to leave tonight and pack some stuff-"
A knock is heard and a older woman in her late 30s is there
"Alright.. Jax come with me." Jace hands Jax a gun
Jax and Jace head out

The woman that we see.. she looked very familiar that.. we looked related.

"What do you need?" Jace asked the woman
"I need a box of food at least.. I have a family living in a tent and I need some food at least.." the woman said
"Should we trust her?" Jax leaned in and asked Jace
"Well.. we should.. plus we are leaving and got plenty." Jace said
"Alright well.. your lucky we got a box right here."
Jace goes inside and gets a box and hands it to the woman
"Thank you.. I needed this.." the woman smiled and walked away
"Alright let's go in.."

Later
Everyone is at the door, all packed up and ready to go
"Alright are we ready?" PT9 asked everyone
"Yeah we are." Everyone said and they head off
They walk into the forest
They then passed the body of Iris
"Oh.. man.." Roger said.
"I know.. I'm sorry again." Jax put their arm on his shoulder
"Thank you.. Jax"
They then continue to walk
"Man im starting to get a little sore on my belly and feet" Pascal exclaimed
"Well.. don't worry if we find a pit stop we will stop.. there." Jace said
There was Mason and Loki standing there with a couple of people holding guns including the woman that asked for food
"Well howdy there, Group. I sure did miss y'all!" Mason said smiling
Everyone put their arms in the air and kneeled to the ground
"Ah at last finally.. we found y'all."
Loki smiled evilly.
"Wait. Isn't that the woman that asked us for food?"
"Yeah I told her to go to the cabin and sure enough y'all were there!" Mason said
"Now, get your asses up and head to the station!"
Mason said out loud and everyone got up and followed Mason
