Episode 6 – Part 4

The mood was jolly as the group joined the ten survivors who had set up a rather pleasant feast and soon they were all digging in, enjoying themselves.

"Wow, how did you even-?" Arica gasped.

Natasha smiled. "We got lucky, especially since most of the food is relatively new."

Another woman nodded. "You see, after we heard you'd destroyed the cult we had to go and see for ourselves. We were amazed and how well you had done. Then as we looked around, we found their storehouses and they had this food there."

"Yes, so we brought it back here...We were going to celebrate and have a feast anyway." Jacob replied. "But knowing the efforts you went to, well, we thought we'd invite you to join."

"Well, that's very kind of you, thank you." Mara remarked.

The others agreed happily and the feast began, the group all began to eat while chatting to the newcomers, deciding to try and learn more about them. Jonas and Livia had not arrived so it was clear he didn't want to come. Niko and Arica both agreed they'd make absolutely sure everything was okay with Jonas and make things up to Livia for having to miss this when they got back. Aside from them everyone else was present, Mara, Roman, Ivano and Misha, Lydia. Sergei, Iskra, Zlata, Ana, Christo, Kalina, Katia, Marko, Grozdan and Ansel. Marin, Bruno, Cveta, Pavle and Britta, they were all here to enjoy the feast.

As they ate Jacob seemed to ponder for a moment.

"So, Niko, why exactly did you go after the cult, to attack them with such force…" He queried.

Niko swallowed and sighed. "It was...revenge, pure and simple."

Jacob tilted his head but it was Roman who continued.

"Niko's wife was kidnapped by the cult, we saved her, but lost another person instead. So we went after them, to make sure they were destroyed and that they couldn't harm anyone again."

Jacob bit his lip at that. "I...I see...You do know the cult…"

"Worships walkers, yes, we know." Katia said quietly. "We still can't get our heads around that, it's weird. Those things are monsters, they just kill and eat...How anyone can see them as something to be deified is…"

Natasha cleared her throat. "Well, what matters is we are all safe now, so...what do you plan to do now?"

"After this, I was going to ask if you wanted to join us." Niko explained. "Then, we go and live...we take each day as it comes and be grateful we're still alive. We do what we have to, in order to keep Pogoren safe. We make new lives for our children."

The others all voice their agreement too and they continued to eat. Soon the meal was just about done.

"So, as I was saying, we want to make a safe future for our children." Niko said at last. "So I'm wondering, would you be willing to join us? If you don't and wish to go your own way, we'll give you enough supplies to last for some time and allow you to do what you wish. Nobody is forcing you to join us, it's all up to you."

Jacob suddenly laughed. "Speaking of children, guess all that food was a bit too much for them."

They all looked around and saw that the kids had slumped over in their seats, falling asleep.

"Huh, I guess-" Mara began before her speech suddenly slurred.

Roman noticed and was worried. "Mara…"

He trailed off, startled as his vision swam, soon Grozdan and Ansel, then Arica all passed out, slowly followed by several of the others.

Niko reacted at once. "What is this…?"

Jacob smirked. "This, is just what you said...revenge, pure and simple."

Niko tried to move but fell to the ground, he blinked, trying to clear his vision as Jacob loomed over him and then he saw it, on the underside of Jacob's left arm. A tattoo, the tattoo of the cult.

"You...you're…" Niko choked out.

But he never finished, for at that moment, the drugs that had been laced in the food of the Pogoren survivors affected him as they had affected all the others and he finally blacked out.
