Angelica was in her old blue truck driving to the Whitetail Ranger Station for some supplies. The Ranger Station was owned by a couple who refused to join sides but did want to help both so therefore the Cult left them be. The young girl pulled in the Ranger Station's driveway stepping out of the car with her green cloak on covering her face from anyone's view.
As she went to pick up her crate & shoved it into the bed of her truck with all the strength she could, her long red braid slipped out of the cloak as she tucked it back in.
Jacob Seed was about 10 feet away with 2 of his men loading more supplies into his truck when she caught his eye. Her green cloak & how it covered every part of her. He wished he could've seen her face. He watched her carefully as she got in her truck & drove off. Jacob replayed the image of her long gorgeous red braid slipping out of the cloak & how she tucked it back in trying to hide herself. Jacob felt surprisingly interested in the girl & wanted to know more about her.

Angelica 1st Person

I saw Jacob Seed about 10 feet away from me. I could've pulled my gun out & shot him right then & there ending all this at least in this region but I wouldn't dare. That would be the greatest mistake of my life & would most likely end my life. I pulled in the hidden dirt path to my small cabin & unloaded the crate. I opened the cabin door & put the crate on the table shutting the door behind me. I pulled out the fresh carrots & strawberries along with the pack of water bottles, pistol ammo, rifle ammo, & 2 med kits.
I then removed my hood & cloak revealing the dirty gray t-shirt I had on with my black cargo pants covered in dirt. I hung the cloak up & went upstairs to shower & change clothes.

Narrator

Angelica always had a soft spot deep down for Jacob & his family. She understood how they had beliefs & she understood what that felt like for she had her own story to tell but that would be saved for later. She also understood what it felt like to be homeless & to not be accepted due to your beliefs. Angelica believed what Joseph Seed believed but she didn't want to get involved. She understood what Jacob met by "the world is soft, weak, we have forgotten what it is to be strong". She understood that line. She understood every line in that speech. Now before you go asking, no Angelica didn't support the Seed Family but she understood them for their thoughts.

Angelica 1st Person

I had finally freshened up & laid in my comfy bed looking up at the ceiling as I closed my eyes. I heard gunshots, howling & then whimpering in a short distance as I threw on my cloak & stepped outside.
I had my pistol on my side ready in case anything was to happen. I walked towards the howling when I saw a silver grayish wolf like creature laying on the ground licking its leg. I went up to it slowly as it started to growl but then lightened up a little. I examined the strange creature noticing the missing patches of fur on it & the red Cult symbol on its head. I had just found one of Jacob Seed's Judges.
"I am sure he's looking for you." I whispered softly to the Wolf. I picked it up as it was quite heavy & brought it inside my cabin.
I fed it some meat before grabbing a first aid kit & looking at the wound carefully.

"Ok...just a little gunshot. I'll pull it out & you'll recover just fine." I said to the Wolf as if it was an actual person.
I used the tweezers, quickly but carefully pulling the bullet out of the Judge's leg as it whimpered a little more before licking it again. I wrapped it's leg up & then examined the Wolf for any other injuries.

"Nothing out of the ordinary. Can't imagine what you've been through." I stated rubbing the wolf's head as it licked my arm.
I stood up cleaning off the table from the blood & the left over medical supplies as I placed the med kit back in the cabinet & walked over to the door.
I knew if I kept the Wolf, I could potentially lead Jacob right to me or his Cultists so I opened the door & whistled for the wolf who got up & walked up to me. I then shut the door as I thought of a small favor for the Seed man.
I safety pinned a note to the bandage of the wolf reading I helped your little friend. Just a small favor. Then I reopened the door & kneeled down to the wolf.
"Take this to Jacob for me." I said softly with a smile as the wolf ran off over the hill. I shut the door & climbed in bed soon to fall asleep.

Jacobs POV

We were missing a Judge & I was eager to find him. Me & my trainers were parked on the side of the road preparing a plan to find it. Capture or kill was the plan we were going for. I heard a howl in the distance when I saw a Judge running up the hill to me & stopped in front of me lifting his paw up. The hunters stopped & looked back at it.
The Judge had a bandage around its leg & a note pinned to it.
I helped your little friend. Just a small favor.

The hunters looked at the note alongside me.
"Is it a threat?" One of the hunters asked questioningly. I shook my head no.
"Someone out there helped him & I wanna know who. Hunters go find them. All I want is a location. No capture. No kill." I ordered the hunters as they ran into the woods searching. I got in my truck with the Judge as I drove back to the Veterans Center. Usually we just kill the injured ones cause they're weak but oddly...this one was fine. Was it the girl in green I thought to myself.
