GENERATION DEAD VOL-2 ( settlements of the dead)

Chapter 12 Glint

3 MOUNTHS AFTER ALLEN WAS TAKEN 

hey Ronnie, you think there will ever be any more variant bitters again asked Shawn watching over the rail of the giant woodwall shielding the astatic looking cabins, mess halls and gardens as they both look out at the beautiful green forest with its great lake resting in the middle without a sole having been there in almost a year.

I think we have all we could ever want here man we have a future man this place is amazing it reminds me of our old camp out in the city. 

I've always been told the city was horrible and full of bitters said Ronnie leaning on the railing running his hands through his long dirty blonde hair with very noticeable grease. 

well it wasn't so bad where we were there were lots of them don't get me wrong but things were nice, we had logan to thank for that he was the man that could've lived this thing forever even on his own but he gave that up to save us without him we all would've died from outrider and someday outrider would've found you all here and ran through all of you, he was just that kind of a bitch you know laughed Shawn looking down inro the small moat beside the wall as rotted bitters float lifelessly down the water current 

hey, are you ok? asked Ronnie nudging at Shawn as Shawn looks past the moat at the lake seeing a small glistening light from the rocky cliff on the side. 

hey um I'm sorry Ronnie I got to go could you cover for me I need to go talk to razor and Connor said Shawn looking back at the glare in the distance speed walking to the ladder and quickly making his way to the big mess hall shoving the massive 10 foot wood doors open calling for Connor as he walks into the cafeteria "hey... hey what do you need man" said Connor holding a towel over his lower half running out of the bathroom 

I think I found something in the lake up north said Shawn speed walking back to the cabins to get razor as Connor tries to catch up asking what he saw. 

i saw a glint, almost like the glint off metal you know said Shawn opening the door to the cabin grabbing a pair of jeans and a tee shirt for Connor then telling razor he needs his help going into the closet grabbing himself a shotgun, throwing Connor a pistol and razor a machete. 

all i get is a machete said razor sarcastically. 

yes, we need to go to the camps little dumb store and buy more sometime this week. 

why do we even have a merchant why can't we just have equal stuff for everyone? 

well, if you would wanna be communist go right ahead laughed razor putting on his brown long sleave flannel. 

come on kiddies lets go teased Shawn walking out the cabin hiding the shotgun inside his jacket storing it in his chest covering it slowly walking down the path to the back wall near where Ronnie and him were a few minutes ago looking around seeing Ronnie still holding his rifle guarding the wall not noticing Shawn, Connor and razor all slowly sneaking under the wall running to the trees on the other side jumping over the moat all making it behind a giant tree peeking to see if Ronnie noticed seeing him looking the other way deciding to make a run to the large cluster of trees dashing with the other running through the wooded area for a couple minuets till they see the big blue lake on the other sides of the trees stopping at the tree line seeing the glare on the other side of the lake they all start walking to the other side of the lake slowly making their way to the other side of the lake looking at the spot where they had seen the glare till Connor yells out that he sees where the glare came from walking up to the strange metal object realizing its a latch to a vault as they all gather around the latch dusting off the little amount of dirt off the top of the vault 

who's going to take the honor and open this bad boy said Connor. 

why don't we all do it said Shawn knelling down grabbing the latch as the others join all pulling the latch open pulling the lid off the vault.

So, who's going down first asked Connor

Well, it ain't going to be me said razor.

It was your idea to come here said Connor nudging Shawn handing him his pistol taking the shotgun.

Fine I'll go down but razor you follow me, and Connor you stay up here with the shotgun make sure the latch stays open said Shawn crawling down the ladder down to the black room at the bottom with razor slowly following.

Is there any light down here said Shawn felling the walls around the room till he fells a light switch fastly turning the lights on with a bright flash of orange lighting the room with a bright glow revealing the bloodied walls and dead bodies slashed all over the room.

Holy hell gagged razor kneeling over puking onto the already bloody floor with streaks from the bodies being dragged.

I'll go up ahead see if there are any alive bitters said Shawn grabbing a small cloth rag covering his mouth slowly walking through the small hallway turning to his left seeing more bodies piled in front of a door as he slowly walks up to the door shoving bitter bodies out of the way cracking the door open peeking inside seeing a bitter standing int he corner scratching at its head with its hair all over the ground and it's shirt torn to shreds and its head bleeding with scratch marks covering the walls and it's body till it slowly turns around shaking and twisting its head around staring at Shawn smacking it's jaw upside making a clicking sound with its teeth then suddenly stopping throwing itself at the door as Shawn slams it shut with the crazed bitter scratching at the door making it's clicking sound as Shawn draws Connors pistol to the door putting it where the head would be covering his ears pulling the trigger

Blaaaaaam

Razor comes running down the hallway to Shawn holding his machete ready to strike "what was that why'd you shoot"?

That bitter wasn't normal man it was another varient it was scratching everything even its own head and face fucker ripped all his hair out of his fucking head, that whole room is covered in scratches and streaks of it's blood said Shawn opening the door slowly scanning the room of anymore bitters or variants

Well we can say this place is clear now said razor sitting down on a chair laying his head back looking around the room "do you think this place could be like a little hideout for all the gang"?

Maybe someday but definitely not today man said Shawn walking out the door to the main room looking into a closet on the side of the main room opening it revealing large boxes or canned food, ammo boxes, cloths, medicine, and many other prepper things filling the closet full of materials to Shawn's amazement as he smiles at the find

ARRRRRGGGHHHHH

THUUUD
