Sorry about the wait, My need for money took most of my time, but excuses get you nowhere. Thanks Fallout 2281 for being able to continue following, and ScholarX thanks for making your needs known, but you can write on your phone, I have.
Day 12
The Mountains were difficult to traverse. We spotted raiders every couple days or so, we never did get a good look. Andy didn't talk alot, didn't bother me, but Emily and McDonough wouldn't stop asking questions. "Where you from? Where get that gun? Who yer family? How you know Maria?" Its was annoying so I stuck with Andy. When I woke today I noticed something I hadn't noticed in years, the sky was blood red. This was an ill omen for the day. I packed up and got ready for the day.
2 Hours later
Our first hint was the lack of scouts which usually shadow our caravan. I brought this up to Andy, he agreed with me. Then they attacked. Bullets coming at us from every which way. I began to return fire hitting one of them. His screams rang out as the plasma started dissolving his flesh. Andy also started firing, we started to make progress in pushing them back. I manage to get a small glance at the rest of our group, Mcdonough down, Emily clutching her arm, Maria behind cover. The Raiders started to turn tail and flee, but one kept fighting, he rushed me. He swung and caught me on the temple, I fell to the ground my vision became shaky. He went to kick me and as he did, I grabbed his leg and pulled him down. He started wrestling for dominance, he scratched and bit at me. I wasn't about to let up on him, as he went to bite I jammed my fist down his mouth and into his throat. His eyes went wide. I grabbed what I could and pulled out his throat. Blood spewed everywhere covering me and him as he died.
"Are you okay?" I turned to see Maria looking at me, a 9mm pistol in her hand, her eyes wide. "I'm fine. We won. The Raiders are gone." I took stack of what was left, Andy was checking on Emily, McDonough dead, Brahmin too.
"Well, lets get moving soon, we don't want to be here when they get back." I stated.
"Emily is hurt, we can't move." Maria responded.
"I am still fit for travel." Emily winced as Andy began bandaging her.
"Good we'll head out soon, until then lets see what these raider brought us." I said turning to look at the one who charged me.
That Night
We gathered 'round the campfire, we were getting ready to hunker down for the night. We would reach Vegas tomorrow, we would pass through a checkpoint before entering the Mojave. I was looking forward to seeing my fellow brothers and sisters there. I hope they will accept me, despite my family's reputation.
I know my past portrays this differently but I do try to update regularly, but every time I update something major happens. Vegas coming this week.
