Wasteland

Prologue: First encounter

Pulls Duncan out of sight "What the hell are you thinking!" I whispered. "They could have seen you and bloody shot you! I knew it was too early for you to come with us."

"Calm down man, thought they were good people looking for some decent food like us."

Pushing Duncan's shoulder. "Well they ARE looking for food and that food is us! Did you not see what they were wearing? They're wearing sewn human flesh for fucks sake!" I peaked over surveying the area. "I think we're in the clear guys. Let's move before anyone sees us."

Moving quickly, we moved around to pass the raiders and avoid any firefights. As we moved through the town, we could hear faint sounds of mirelurks and ghouls feeding on recent prey. Every once in awhile we'd run into a couple and be fine but today was different... more ghouls had moved in during the night and more were coming. Not only that but the raider gang north of us was getting more nervous than normal which meant something bad was coming our way.

As we passed several old bodies and piles of ash, we got close to our rendezvous. We approach the point, a bullet went crashing into the torn road. Taking cover, we took in our surroundings to see where that shot came from, only to see we were surrounded by men and women aiming weapons straight towards us. Then a figure came out of the buildings and started coming towards us.

Before Shawn could pull the trigger, Alex waved him off. "What's goin' on? You see we're vault dwellers, not some raider group." slowly moving closer to the strange figure. "We're not here to harm any of you. Just looking for some decent food and water."

The leader studied us for some time and decided we weren't a harm to his people and called them off. As we got closer he pointed towards Shawn. "He nearly got you all killed." placing his hand on his shoulder. "Better learn when to communicate and when to run and gun lad." The man then turned towards me pointing at the armor I was wearing. "Raider armor I'm takin'?"

"Yeah, ran into a group a month ago. They were from the outer rim of the rad zone." As I explaining more about it, he started to grin and guided us towards his people's encampment.

"We were hunting that gang since they raided our supplies." laughing as he spoke. "Looks like you got to 'em before us mate."

"Glad we helped in some way sir."

Slapping my back "Don't start formalities mate, I'm not THAT old." Laughing as he stroked his beard. "So where ya'll headin'?"

"Heading north for the Dea-" Shawn covering Duncan's mouth to shut him up I continued.

"Dealer in Diamond City. We were running low on ammo and food."

Looking at us for some moments felt like hours. He shrugged his shoulders and pointed towards the city. "Well there she is lads, the heart of the Commonwealth."

Thanking him and his people for not firing and letting us by, we left to search for the creature we were to kill. The Deathclaw.
