Chapter 19: Control

(Author's Note: Big thanks to MamaShifter102 who deserves credit for helping me out and giving me some awesome ideas with the "Creature Designing" on the Savage. You're the best girly :) -Bri*

Brittany's POV:

I watch as Marcus, who is apparently the best artist out of all of us, sketch Talon's mark over and over again on different pieces of paper. Talon then takes the ten finished papers and lays them out. He takes my knife off of the table and cuts his hand open on the palm.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Calling the Reapers." He reply's, covering his finger in blood and slashing it across the mark on each piece of paper.

He writes the number six below it and lets the blood dry.

"So when they see this, they'll know where to go?" I ask. He nods.

"What if a Canis see's this? And what if the Reapers don't come?" I ask.

"They don't know what six is. Reapers have parts of the city and the forest numbered by land marks. We are in section six. Reapers trust each other, too. They should all be here in a number of three days." He reply's.

I nod my head and look around our new temporary home, which is a motel. Plenty of rooms, but we tend to stay in the main lobby.

"How many Reapers are there?" I ask.

"About thirty. Give or take a few." He responds.

"And why do we need them again?" I ask.

"Because we need as many as possible, and when they come running out of the factory, we need as few Original's alive as possible. Only a few of us can go in the factory. Five at the most." He reply's.

I nod and Talon hands the fliers to Keith to post around the city so they will see them.

"So, when does all this start?" I ask.

Everyone looks at Talon.

"In three days, first thing in the morning. And Keith, take my bow and disable any cameras you happen to see, would you?" He announces. Keith nods with a displeased look and takes his bow, leaving.

"Britt and I will stand guard outside for anyone who arrives, Cain and Ashton, get to the roof and keep your guns ready." Talon commands.

"Marcus, think you can keep up with the names?" Talon asks, handing him paper and pencil. Marcus nods and takes the paper from him. Before heading outside I take a cloth and cover my tracker.

Once that's done, we head outside with our weapons and pace the front of the motel. About an hour later and Keith comes back, heading inside.

About another hour and three men come walking down the road. All guns are immediately on them and they keep their hands up as they make their way closer.

They get ten feet and Talon commands with his bow aimed, "Show me." They then grab their shirts and reveal a scarred mark.

He nods for them to go inside and we lower our weapons. They pass us and Marcus gets their names and head count.

This goes on for three more days.

There are now twenty-six Reapers in the motel; I don't even know all of their names. I've befriended the first two women I've met since I've been here. Their names are Allison and Zoey. Allison has brown hair and green eyes, on the tall side. Zoey however, has red hair with blue eyes and is a little on the short side.
