CH 8 Flints story PT 1
Ashley stood in wonder at the Deathclaw, Flint. The first ever Deathclaw she 'Met' that didn't try to kill her and talked. Flint cleared his throat.
"Who are you two?" He rumbled.
"I'm Ashley and the pile on the floor is Hunter." Ashley said surprised at the calm of her voice talking to Flint. He then sat on the living room's floor and gestured to the couch.
"Sit. You are wondering about me, I will tell you." He purred. Hunter stared to wake. He sat up.
"Wha- where am I?" he said looking around the house. His eyes landed on Flint. "I'm dreaming, yeah that's it! I'M DREAMING!" he screamed insanely. Ashley slapped him.
"No! Flint's real Hunter, he won't hurt us!" Ashley yelled. Hunter stared at her and nodded like a little kid after he did something at could have ended badly. She lead him to the couch and Flint started to tell his tale.
"I was born thirty years ago down in Arizona, before the legion started, near Flagstaff. Our herd stumbled on a little town. At first the town was petrified of us, but they didn't try to kill us. But then we noticed a gang coming and raiding the town, stealing food, valuables and women. My father, which was the chief of the herd, convinced the rest to help retrieve all of the items and people." Flint paused for a moment, as if a painful memory came. "He ordered the strongest warriors to him and the newly made warriors and kits to protect the town in case they came while on the way. The gang was wiped out, but at a price."
"What happened?" Hunter asked. Flint sighed.
"My father was killed by the leader, but he killed him before he passed." Ashley thought if Deathclaws could cry, tears would be streaming down his face."
"I'm sorry, Flint." Ashley said fighting back tears, it's weird that a deathclaw's story is making her tear up. He continued'
"So, our uncle was to be the leader, but he gave it to another to raise me and Sandstone. One of the worst decisions he ever made."
