The Beacon

Savannah POV
"Relax Primus, take a deep breath, aim and shoot" Patrick said to me as I was aiming at the target,"I-I can't do this, I'm better off with a crossbow" I put the gun down slowly,"Primus, I know, but you're gonna have to learn eventually, might as well be now" Marilyn walked over after observing,"I know that feel Savannah, Henderson did you get her started off with a BB Gun?"
"No"
"Get her started on that, don't make her skip a step" Kavanaugh was walking around and saw us,"And that is why women in The Beacom are leaders" Kavanaugh patted her on the back as he smiled, Pat asked me,"Would a BB Gun work for the time being?"
"It could help me a little"
"At least you're more adaptable than your brother, he refused to hold a gun, but to be a Scavenger, you need to learn how to use the majority of the weapons because-" I cut him off by finishing the sentence for him,"I can't depend on one thing forever otherwise it could wear out or become useless like using a dagger knife in a gunfight, you've told me this Patrick"
"Smartass" I raised my eyebrows,"Its practically engraved in my brain" He ruffled my hair that I managed to get in braids,"And that's a good thing,Cameron is still managing to learning how to use a gun" I nodded as he gave me a BB Gun,"You remind me of Blaire"
"H-How?"
"She was a smartass, tough person, also had to tolerate Dylan Howell, oh God did they hate hate each other" I was aiming at the target and then I stopped to look at him,"Howell? As in the same guy that Marilyn mentioned? They hated each other?" He shrugged,"Not so sure now, Smartlowit and Holland mentioned them, they must've became allies or partners"
"Same difference" A boy came running into the Minor Gun Zone,"What is it La Croix?"
"New Survivors, you need to check if they qualify for Scavengers" He nodded,"You know what to do Primus" He said to me as he walked away, Marilyn came over and showed me how to hold the BB Gun,"So here's how you hold it, don't worry, even if you shoot me, I can always go to the Medical Center and they can fix me up, I'll be okay" I nodded in a very unsure way,"How are you doing in your studies Savannah?"
"We're learning Dissection"
"And Sign Language?" I was hesitant about that and I finally answered,"I keep getting my words mixed up"
"At least you're still learning"

Cameron POV
I dodged a punch and did a spin kick, still stayed in my stance, started going around my opponent then he kicked me and I fell, rolled over and put him in a leg lock until he tapped for me to let go. The MMA Instructor came over to us,"Do you know what you both did wrong?" We shrugged and he started pointed out our mistakes,"Woods, you took your eyes off of your opponent because you were cocky,they will never stay down and Villers, you didn't go for the punch in the ribs, that is one of the sensitive parts for all of us and the throat too. You take one punch to the throat and they are gonna be more focused on trying to breathe than you and that will be your time to-" He grabbed me and threw me down, I grunted and groaned,"Take them down, got that Villers? Woods?" We nodded and my voice kinda cracked when I said,"Crystal" The Instructor went to another pair, Villers did a fist bump when I was on the floor, then I got up,"You did good man"
"You too" I got into stance,"Wanna go again?" I clapped as he had his hands on his waist and wiped his nose,"Nah I'm calling it, I gotta work on Javelin anyway"
"Yeah okay, La Croix mentioned to me about new survivors, I'm gonna check them out" I put on my sweatshirt back on and was about to walk out,"You mean you want to see if your sister's here" I stopped and looked back at him,"I'm not giving up on her Villers" If he had a brother or sister that was lost out there and they knew their way back here, he would probably do the same thing. I walked over there and scoped out the survivors

Marilyn POV
I was sitting at one of the tables in the Mess Hall and someone put their arms around me,"Hey Mary Berry" I smiled and put my hand on her arm,"Hey Leah Pea" She kissed my cheek,"Did you see the new comers?" I nodded while looking down,"And I'm assuming you're still waiting on hand and foot for Blaire and the others" Of course she knew my answer, she held my hand when she sat next to me,"If you have this feeling that she's still out there, I'll believe you no doubt about it"
"She is, I know it, along with Dylan. Those two taught me how to take care of myself, how to defend myself and the group then, I know they can survive out there, especially after everything we've been through" Patrick came in, panting and we looked over,"What's the problem?"
"You might wanna hear this" I made a confused face and we followed him without questions, we went into this interrogation room and this guy, Roman interrogates people who seem suspicious like this guy that we're looking at, we found a police station and Patrick clicked on the intercom,"Smartlowit's here" He clicked off,"Roman already took the notes, he just wants you to hear this" I nodded and looked into the window, but in there, they couldn't see us,"Now...tell us your name again"
"Sean….Reeves"
"And where did you come from before you came here?" He started snarling and heavy breathing, I leaned over to Patrick,"He's changing, isnt he?" Pat nodded,"But what he said was freaky, he still has time" Sean was quiet….snarling quietly, but he was still struggling to get the words out,"W-Willows...they need to know….grrr" He lost me again,"Willows?"
"Its up in Northern California"
"H-How?" He shrugged,"I have no idea, listen more"
"Sean….continue"
"Dy-Dylan,Blaire….Organization" He said as he was gripping onto the table.  My eyes widened as I tightened my grip with Leah's hand,my heart was pounding, my stomach was in knots,"D-Did he say Blaire and Dylan?" Both of them nodded,"Same names he said earlier"
"Sean, this isnt The Organization, this is The Beacon now"
"Andrea Levitt...Kavan" He started growling as his eyes were changing color, I realized he was chained to the chair and I was questioning that,"Why did you guys chain him to the chair?"
"He asked us, he knew he was changing and he had information for us and here we are" Sean was looking down as he was huffing then growled another name,"Michelle!!!!!" I witnessed another survivor become a Walker,"That part we weren't able to understand at first but maybe yo-"
"Michelle"
"What?" Patrick looked over,"He's saying that they're probably still alive"
"W-wait who's Michelle" Leah asked and  I answered of course,"Michelle is Fynn's sister, did you get him as well about this? You said to keep us in the loop, not just me" He shook his head,"Mission" He shook his head again,"Automotive Repair" This place has progressed which is why we're called The Beacon because there was so many people and we are slowly becoming a city like Los Angeles. Cameron has finally got to go on his first Mission finally, Savannah is getting there, there are more Minority Leader who has about as much experience as Patrick and Dempsey. We managed to get electricity for X-Rays, Cooking, TV for the children and elders, kept walkers out of here, it was progressing very slowly, but Kavanaugh is patient, organized everything and he really is a good leader. After Roman had to put Sean out of his misery when he changed, we learned that there is a line between Remorse and Sociapath, this was Remorse. Roman came in with a clipboard and handed it to Patrick,"Here you go" We looked over at the notes and I saw a word that was unfamiliar,"What's Counterpart?"
"Corresponding groups" Roman said to us and before he walked away,"Henderson, be sure to get that to Kavanaugh" We looked over at the notes,"He was from Willows, wait a minute, you said that's up in Northern California" Patrick nodded,"He also said he walked the way here"
"Pat...that's 2 weeks of walking nonstop and that guy is covered in bites" He was shocked and cursed under his breath then Leah put her arm on me,"I gotta get going, I need to go teach Kindergartners" I nodded and she pecked me then walked away,"See here's Blaire, Dylan, Levitt…" We read more into the notes and this was incredible,"Seems like our Scavengers formed an Ally group and this one was bit, came here before they did"
"So this means that-" I finished the sentence,"They're getting close! I need to find Fynn and the others, I gotta go" I ran before Patrick even finished his own sentence
