Discernment

Chapter 10 - Fay's POV

"Wake up, bitch! ...I said wake up!" A man said. He repeated it one more time. "Wake.. Up!" He kicks the large cage. Fay still didn't wake up. "You're forcing me to fucking do this.." The man shakes his head. He then roughly opens the cages and drags Fay out. He begins to beat on her, kicking her stomach. She instantly woke up once she was dragged out.

 "S-Stop you.. Fucking asshole!" Fay groaned. "Oh good. You're awake." He smirks. "Get up, you have work to do." The man says. "I'm not working for you.. Forget it." Fay instantly responds. "You have to or else I'll have to give you another punishment. Just work for us, you get food, place to stay, this place is basically heaven. So fucking take advantage of it." He replies.

"I'm Ryan, I don't know if you even care, but I need to know your name. The boss needs to know." Ryan introduces himself. Fay looks at him and doesn't respond. "I asked your name, it'd be very fucking polite if you answered." He says. "My name's Fay, now tell me why it fucking matters?" She asks. "Joel needs to know this. In case we need you for something.. Or you escape to another group and we need want you back." He smirks. 

Fay sits there, confused at what kind of place she was in. "You'll need this, Fay." He says and hands her a trash collector claw. "We need to restock on them." Ryan assures. "What are you talking about?" Fay responds. Ryan smirks and laughs a little as they walked toward the opened garage doors. Fay's eyes widened when she saw a bunch of people in lines, holding more garbage collector claws.. Which are holding biters. "What the fuck is wrong with you people? You sick fucks.." Fay muttered. 

"This is your group. You four will be gathering together. Lawrence here, will be keeping watch over you as will I to make sure you don't try to escape, got it?" Ryan says as Fay got in the little group. "Explain why we're even doing this?" Fay asked. "Because these precious things are like gods, miss." A man with a nearly anorexic body says with an eerie voice. "This right here, Fay, is the man who runs this place. Joel, this is Fay.. Our new addition." Ryan smirks. 

"Treat these delicate creatures nicely, you got it? And if you kill any, you will get punished.." Joel says to the small group. "Now.. Start getting some of them and load them in the trucks." Joel says with a stern tone. "Is this guy for real?" Fay asks as Joel walked off. "He's real.. Insane, but real." One of the girls says. "I'm Erin, you're.. Fay, right?" She introduces and asks. "Yeah, I'm Fay, who are the rest of you?" Fay asks. "I'm Eddy, the technician, engingeer.. pretty much the smart guy around here. Right now there's no electrical work to be dealt with, so I'm having to gather these things for that sick fuck in there." Eddy introduces himself. "And I'm Tabitha." The other girl says.

"Get moving, and stop talking. You all have work to do if you want to stay here.. Alive." Lawrence says. "I don't want to stay here in the first fucking place.." Fay mutters. "Not our rules, hun. You're just going to have to deal with it, since it's the smart thing to do.. Just stop being an annoying bitch and get out there and gather some of them up." Lawrence replies as he opens the gate for the group to go out.

"Just grab one, walk it back to that truck and they'll load them up, got it? It's pretty simple." Ryan says, not even caring about an answer. Fay, Erin, Eddy, and Tabitha just walk out there and spread out slightly. "I got one, now what do I do?" Fay asks. "I just told you.. Take it over there, you dumb bitch.." Ryan says. Fay shakes her head and slowly yet carefully, takes it over to the truck. "Alright, go get another now.." The man says as he grabbed the biter from Fay.

Biter after biter, Fay takes one back to the truck. After a while, Fay sighs and makes her way back out there to the group who has seemed to been closer together this time. "This truck's almost filled up.. What's going on with your friends?" The man says before Fay got too far away. "I don't know.. But I'll go find out right now." She responds with a soft tone.
