Part III Section 12-Traps

11:43 A.M, June 23rd, 2030, Forest near Big Whiteish Hospital Building... Near Charlotte's disappearing spot.
Tiny Shack Green door

Eric paced around the little building he contemplated where to go. He turned around to see a door opened to a room. And another door closed. Eric walked to the opened door room. He saw a Window, he slowly walked over and peaked his head through the window. None of the Dead in sight. He slowly opened the window and maneuvered himself out of it. Inside the Shack he heard the door burst open. Eric quickly got out of the area making his way past the tall trees. The sound of a wire snapped. And within seconds a Spear shot from the top of a Tree missing Eric by a Milimeter. Eric Stunned stopped moving and began looking around with his head for other traps. As he scanned the area he noticed 3 bear traps going one way and slowly went left.

"You saw what!" Stephan said shocked. "A Drawing with Almon of a little girl with some man dressed in white holding some helmet and this was in the woods near us" Noah said holding himself together. Stephan holding Addison as Rylie cleaned the scavenged silverware. "Hey Baby, did we ever talk about how the water works around the town" Rylie asked. Stephan looked over with his shocked expression immediately snapping into reality "no we honestly haven't not considering it works anyway" Stephan said. "I guess that makes sense" Rylie said continued to clean. "When was this" Stephan said. "Oh I can't remember I just know sometime months ago me and him smoked and he decided to take me towards the woods and showed me, we also seen strands of Hair on a shirt that was hung on a branch" Noah answered. "Strange" Stephan replied. Stephan noticed 6 month old Addison spit up. He wiped it with his own shirt. He kissed her Forehead. "Your so beautiful" Stephan said Softly. "I'm going to go lay down with my daughter for a little bit and try to fathom what you told me and hope whatever little girl drew that drawing is okay if they were a kid ofc what was the drawing made of crayon" Stephan asked. "Marker" Noah replied. "Okay yeah give me some time with her" Stephan answered and began walking off towards his room. Noah stood up and walked out the front door.

Eric continued to run through the forest until he got up to a huge gated area. He slipped into the door and it quickly shut behind him As he face planted. Eric held the SR tight. He heard loud clicking from underneath himself. He looked down and noticed he was stepping on a Trapdoor. Out of quick thinking he stepped off, causing a huge door in front of himself to open. "No, No, No" Eric said quickly trying to bang his way through the gate. He turned around and realized there was a shovel in the middle of the field. He heard 1000ds of the Dead growling and groaning there way closer to him from inside the huge cave that was blocked by the door. Eric thought fast but thought about how the walkers were moving some slow some fast. He noticed some of them moved in ways he can avoid them. He began looking around the enclosure for a weak spot. He noticed the gate was made from low carbon steel and he immediately ran towards the shovel. He grabbed the shovel quickly and began running back the one hundred yards. As the walkers started closing in. He smashed threw the steel six times before it broke allowing himself to break free from the enclosure. As he escaped, one of the walkers grabbed him. Eric shovel in hand dropped the shovel and shot the walker with the SR. He quickly got himself away from that area and immediately planned to call it a day. He began making his way back towards the road but a safer direction. He slowly made his way back to the road and began walking back home, killing any walker in sight along the way. As Eric made his way back he heard footsteps behind him then a sound of a Pistol loading. He felt pressure pressed against the back of his head. "Don't move or I will shoot" The sound of a Familiar voice said. "Who are you" Eric asked. "Your worst nightmare" The voice answered. "Take your guns from your holster and place them on the ground gently. And move into the woods" The voice asked as Eric began placing them on the ground slowly and began to move towards the woods, "Your hard to kill" a hint at admiration in the man's voice as he stepped in front of Eric as they entered the woods area. "Remember me" Dante said smiling wearing all White. "You were..." Eric struggled keeping his composure as the gun stayed pointed at his face. "Your A threat to our operations and we can't tolerate your meddling anymore, there are things you really wish you don't know, and you shouldn't and it has to stay that way...the past couple of months I've grown to learn who I am and I'm sorry we just can't" Dante said as he raised his gun and put his finger on the trigger. "Dante listen what's going on with you, you use to hate the IZC as well as well as the IMF I don't know much about it I hardly know you but I know damn well anyone who is competition towards your military you don't want or care for" Eric asked. "You don't know a damn thing about me" Dantes voice sounding complex in emotions. His voice lowered a little "Listen you don't understand, I was offered a Choice between Life or Death and I chose Life, theres a bigger meaning here, protection, power, a chance to male a real difference, the CAF was just holding me back" Dante said hesitant. Eric looks down grabbed a rock and chucked it towards Dante quickly creating a distraction and running behind a tree. Gunshot went off sparking the tree as Eric ran behind it. "Eric, I'm sorry it came to this" Dante said picking up Eric's Pistol. As Dante was looking at it Eric stabbed a huge peice of Branch into Dante dropping Dante on his knees as he held the branch and ripped it from his body. Throwing it onto the ground Dante stood up looking around. Eric nowhere in vision. The pressure of being stabbed rose through Dantes body as he looked down realizing he was impaled by a huge branch from behind. Unable to move the branch he realized his gun was no longer in his hand. The sound of 2 Gunshots went off as Eric shot Dante in leg then his head. Eric holstered his Pistol as he tossed Dantes towards him and slowly turned around walking off onto the road and back towards home.

Stephan sat on the couch of his home holding Addison. He tickled her nose and laughed at her smile. He walked over towards one of the baby high chairs and sat her in it and buckled her up. He walked over to one of the cabinets and grabbed applesauce. He walked over towards her and began to feed her. A few knocks sprang at the door alerting stephan. He quickly put the applesauce down and brought Addison towards the room as more knocking hit the door. "One second" Stephan said as he walked into the room and laid her down. He looked at Rylie sleeping in bed on the side of the crib. He walked out of the room towards the front door and slowly opened it. "Jade" Stephan questioned as Jade barged through the door. "Listen crazy thing, Me, Jakey, and Jason went out on a quick run, turned into alot longer than a quick run but we found this" Jade put down a white suit with blood all over it, "that's not the crazy part, we went back to Charlotte's location around like 9 this morning can't remember but we found this" Jade places a Bloody knife flat on the table. Stephan stood up, "where did you" Stephan said as he was cut off by Jades answer. "In the tree with the Hole I don't think we looked up cause Jakey looked up and there it was sticking from the top of the hole." Jade answered. Stephan looked at Jade shocked. He walked over towards the bloody knife. "Do you think she" Stephan asked "she what, killed herself no way" Jade answered before stephan could finish. Stephan shook his head and walked over towards the sink and placed the knife in the sink. He shook his head, "I hope Eric comes back with something" Stephan said to himself as Jade proceeded to leave.
