Days Of Us

CHAPTER 2

Deacon
P.O.V,

Here I was aiming my Lil'stubby to another drifter who just commits a crime at hot springs camp. I look at him he's just a teen he seems rough and tired.

We were in the woods after I chased him stealing a bike and wander off the woods. Tucker said she needs him alive to get back again to the camp. I stare at him and only saw a terrifying look at his face, he then shouts to me.

"Please don't... let me go back there, man! Please I'm begging you."

I can hear his voice tiring. Is it that they work him hard on that camp just like another prison? But he just kills woman on his way out, looking coldly at him and said.

" That doesn't have the right for you to kill a lady on your way out of there."

"P-please, I just want to leave in peace and I stumble upon this woman. She said that she will report me back to Tucker, and I have to work even more than I can chew... Please man, just let me go I rather died in the hands of more hoard of freakers If I have to work on that Death Camp."

I still aim my stubby on him and suddenly I got a radio call from Tucker, she asks.

" this Tucker from hot springs, come in Deacon st john."

"Yeah I heard you, deacon to Tucker"

" good, have you found that kid yet? If you did bring back to me I have punishment await for him."

I look at the kid in front of me, crying and beg me in silence not to turn him in. I turn to my radio to Tucker.

"Uhm, Tucker the kid that you want. He's dead, He's uh, being mauled by the Freakers."

"Damn! Well, that's unfortunate come here and get your payment drifter. Hot springs to Deacon out."

I radio out Tucker and the kid look at me and began praising at me by saying many thanks and gratitude. I ease the kid and tell him not to worry now, although he killed a woman out of his way, I guess he had his own reasons, not like the kid on his bloodlust. While I ignite my engines bike, I look at him. The kid, he looks terrified, fragile and even scared at this moment which things he had to endure, the boy looks a bit Teenager, probably a late teen I said to myself, just before he tried to head inside the wood I yell at him to gain his attention.

"Hey, kid!"

He turned to look at me as he was about to wander inside the forest, I said to him trying to get to know what he was about to do,

" Where you headed?"

"Anywhere rather than that Prisons Camp"

I pressed off the ignitions and said to him.

"kid I know there's a camp-"

"N-NO! camp, Please I don't want to be labour again p-please."

"Listen, I didn't finish what I said, jeez kid calm yourself before I can finish speaking. Anyway, there's a camp, name Lost lake camp, have you heard it before?"

He shakes his head nervously. And continuing my talk to him.

"Lost lake camp isn't like that Hotspring kid. There an old man there he's the same age as Tucker but! He's not bad as her, in fact, he is fair with everyone, so you won't have to work like labour anymore. Just do your part in the camp and you will be fine."

He wasn't sure at first to followed me but after a while. He looked around knowing Freaker, screamer, and Infected predators were lurking around and in the woods, the slim chances are he will be dead before he can step inside those thick bushy woods. He accepts my offer and joins with me. We ride across the broken with car scattering on the roads, tree falling of their roots, and a lot of lifeless body was in our view we road to reach to Lost lake camp. When we were drifting I ask him.
