Chapter 2- A New Hope
Erin's POV
I already heard the heavy footsteps of my friend David, otherwise known as Lasercorn, dragging in the body of a passed out survivor with my other friend Matt, otherwise known as Sohinki, helping him. And Mari, the only one as awake as me at the time, came up and helped the two drag the body into the clearing.
When I got a closer look, I examined his face, taking in the features of the new arrival. The guy had a short black Mohawk, with a soft look to his face. Though everyone kind've did when they were asleep. His arm, just upon looking, had been broken. And he had a few tattoos over his arms and one barely showing on his leg. He looked agile enough to have slipped out of here unnoticed though.
"How did you know he was here?" I asked Lasercorn, when he just shrugged.
"A clicker landed on a tripwire near where I was hunting, because he led it over there, and then he almost died as he tried to leave this hellhole. We got there just in time to save him." He explained while Anthony and Kalel were walking towards us, wondering what the commotion was.
"Robin's still sleeping?" I asked incredulously while Kalel nodded.
"You know she's been having a tough time though." Kalel defended Robin, as I had to roll my eyes. How is Robin that tired to not hear the stumbling of tired footsteps and the dragging of a passed out body, in the middle of the night? I thought to myself.
"I have you." A patient Ian said to a very sleepy teenager, who was using Ian to not fall to the ground as they walked towards the group. She nodded to him in return, stumbling, and grabbed his shoulder. As soon as they were there, she straightened up, took the hair out of her eyes, and looked at the stranger with a wary look.
"Why did you have to wake me up? I was having a good dre-" Robin mumbled sleepily, when I gave her a small death glare, and she shut her mouth as quickly as she possibly could.
Sohinki was already behind Lasercorn, investigating the body. He was going through the guys pockets, while Lasercorn was checking his backpack. Lasercorn's eyes widening when he murmured a small "Holy shit." Ian was at his side immediately, as usual, abandoning the teen who was trying to not fall.
"Oh my god. This guy has supplies. Lots of them." Ian said slowly, staring at the backpack. I walked forward, not breathing for a second as I saw the bag. It was full of ammo, arrows included. But this person had lots of food.
"We need him to stay now." Anthony said quietly, speaking what was on everyone's mind. I had to nod softly in agreement, as everyone else did. We all knew soon enough we would run out of food, and the prey's been getting skinnier and skinnier, and there seems to be less running through here then when we started out here. Or at least, when Robin and I started here.
"Only if he wants to stay with us here." I felt myself say, and I sighed. "You all know the rules. I did give you a choice to stay here, did I not? He doesn't need to stay if he doesn't want to."
"Then we have to convince him to stay." Murmured Kalel, so soft that I could've sworn that she almost never said it.
"So, we either let him stay, or we let him venture off on his own and die?" Mari suggested sarcastically, while I rolled my eyes.
"Pretty much." I said softly, staring at the man lying on the ground. Right now, my little source of hope. I really hope he chooses to stay with us. I really hope he chooses too.
I snapped myself out of it to look back at the impending eyes that were waiting for orders. "Ok then. Who's taking first watch?"
