[Discontinued] ALL WE HAVE LEFT (crafting dead fanfiction )

Chapter 15

-Shark's pov

  Well it has been about a day or two since the attack by the strangers. Since Cathy was taken away. Red said we should begin searching for her so, after packing up a few guns each (Cathy had a large armory so yeah), we headed to where Nick and Cathy were attacked. There was a slight blood stain still on the stump where the S shape was carved. It just didn't make sense. They were attacked but not killed. I mean of course it's a good thing, not that I'm complaining, but, to just knock out Nick and kidnap Cathy, it's not their style. 

  "Hey, Shark. Can I talk to you for a bit?" I heard Nick ask, snapping me out of my thoughts. 

  "Sure. What do you need to talk about?" I ask him, the both of us walking a bit away from the others. 

  "What do you think the strangers are doing or what they want Cathy for?"

  I think for a bit. With the little we know about the strangers, it's hard to tell what they won't do. "Maybe they want some stuff from us and are holding her for a ransom? With all the crazy things going on, I feel this is not the weirdest."

  "Possibly but we still run the risk that they might want Cathy because of something more. Maybe they could be actually working with Ross."

  I think Nick noticed the worried look on my face because he then asked me if I was okay. When Nick mentioned Ross, I worried for Cathy. If what Red said about Ross is true, then we're in big trouble. He could possibly expirament on her. He could hurt her and make Red go phsyco again. And we can't afford to lose a strong member of our new team. 

  "If the strangers are truly working with Ross, we need to find Cathy really quick unless we also want to lose Red." I say receiving a slightly confused look from Nick before we got back with the others. 

  "Wait, I think I might have found a trail. It's very faint so we have to pay attention. " I heard Red say when we got back. 

  "How?" Ghetto asked. 

  "Same way I used to always find you."

  Who knew having a skilled cannibal on our side would be really useful. "Where's the trail that you're talking about?" Nick asked. 

  Red then pointed out how some of the leaves are trampled and there was a slight blood trail. He explained that when walkers walk, they have a tendency to drag their feet even just a little bit while people just leave their footsteps. He also said that he smelled the blood that fell on some leaves. It was the same blood that was on the blade of Nick's axe when the attack happened. (A/N: I feel like I just made Red the next Sherlock Holmes XD) 

  "Well what are we waiting for. Lead the way Red." I said. He nodded before standing up and leading us northwest. This might take some time. 

-Shelby's pov 

  Janice said we were now about two hours away from her place. We took a quick rest in a small clearing. Xavier was sitting on a log while Janice was leaning on a tree with her small knife in her hand, flicking her wrist to let it fly for a bit before catching it. She did it again a couple times before standing up with a sigh. She walked up to me, putting away her knife while she came. 

  "Are you ready?" she asked me. 

  "Yeah. I'm ready. Do you think they will accept us?"

  "What do you mean?"

  "Will whoever is with you over at your place be willing to take us in?"

  "Well, to be honest, I don't know. They all might, but some will take more time than others. But I think my best friends will accept you very quick once they hear that you helped me."

  "Who are your best friends?"

  "Best you meet them when we get there." Janice said with a grin. She walked up to Xavier and told him what she told me. Then we started again our long walk. 

~time skip~

  "We're almost there." Janice announced, sounding kind of excited. 

  "How far?" 

  "Just past these trees."

  We walked for a few more feet before a campsite came to view. It looked like it was being well kept. There was a large garden at a side of the place with a few people in it working. 

  "This way." Janice said as we entered the campsite. We walked to what appered to be the center of the place. 

  "How long do you think they have been here?" Xavier asked me as we got closer a small building close to the center of the place. I simply shrugged and kept following Janice towards the building. When we got there she opened the door so quickly that it banged on the wall. 

  "Oops. Come in you guys. Make yourselves at home while I look for these people." she said with a smile on her face. She first told us where the kitchen, the restroom, and the living room were before she left. So I guess we just might be lucky now to be with good people. 

-Cathy's pov

  We had been given a room to share and had already been fed. So far, this Lorenzo guy seems pretty nice. I was sitting on my bed when Natassha and Nicole came into the room and went to their own beds. Natassha sat on her bed facing me and Nicole just jumped on and layed back. 

  "So what's up little girl?" Nicole asked with a playful smile.

  "Nothing much. Just thinking about stuff."

  "About what?"

  "Nothing." 

  "Nothing isn't something. If there's something you want to talk about, we are here to listen and do our best to help you."

  "Thanks."

  "No problem." Then she walked up to Natassha and they started talking a bit like if they were trying to keep a secret. Then again, as long as I'm in hearing range, nothing can't stay hidden for long. 

  "Hey little Tashwa, did you get the thing?" Nicole said quietly to Natassha. 

  "Yeah. Did you get yours?"

  "Yup. What do we do about the other two though?"

  "Should we tell them?"

  "Are you sure about this?"

  "Yeah." 

  "Okay then."

   Then Natassha walked up to me and spoke to me quietly. She tolf me that she and Nicole wanted to escape since they didn't want to deal with the so called doctor that was about to start expiramenting on them. She asked if I wanted to join them in their little escape. I thought about it for a bit. If they know what they're doing then I'll be okay and if they result to also be bad people I can easily escape them. I agreed to join them and then they told me their whole plan of escape. 

  "Okay so now that you understand, we will just have to ask Jacob to join and tommorow night we escape." Nicole said once she and Natassha finished explaining the plan. Then someone knocked on the door before we heard them say from outside to go to sleep. It sounded like that Jacob guy we will be hopefully escaping with. He could really be useful for the escape. After clarifying some details to the plan, we all went to bed. I fell asleep almost instantly though. I hadn't even been aware of how tired I was.
