Now They Walk

The Disciples

-------------------------Nate-----------------------

Jake took his time going up the highway. We had to evade wrecks and blocks in the way.

I was humming a song. It was a hymn. Amazing grace.

I could remember doing it all by myself in front of the podium. I was so damn scared of the people.

"Nate your humming again"

"I know"

"What song?"

"It was amazing grace, know it?"

"Barely, you should sing it to me"

"I see what you did, you did that on purpose"

"Can't prove it" he answered

"I'll sing for you later" I said

It was silent for a minute.

"That's the seventh damn symbol in the last minute"

"The same ones?"

"All of them, same area, same size"

"Who do you think put them their?"

"Someone that wants to be found I'm guessing"

That was apparent in the next couple of seconds. Jake stopped the car.

Every car in the area had the symbol. One on every window and mirror and doors. Some were covered.

A sign was staked into a broken widow.

You Must Repent

"Ellie wake up" Jake said

People started walking from behind cars. Guns drawn.

"Nate and Ellie don't move" Jake ordered

The people surrounded the car. The symbol was painted on their clothing.

Me and Jake looked toward each other at the same time.

A man walked on his side and wrenched the door open.

The guy pulled him out by his neck and tried to put him to the ground. Jake fought back and used his weight against him.

A guy pulled me out and another got Ellie.

"Stop!" The man holding me yelled "or we execute them"

Jake stopped moving and then the guy he hit stood back up and grabbed his gun.

"Were taking them in"

I felt something hit my head and then everything was black.

They shoved me to my knees.

My eyes adjusted to the dim room. A fire stood on a tripod, these lined the room.
