Hey everyone and welcome back to the hellish world we live in! Now, it's time for some more story time!

Will: Aw come on, we just got here, can't we get a break?

No Will, no breaks for you or anyone in this story, we're still only on episode two!

Rufus: So wait, THREE MORE EPISODES OF US POTENTIALLY GETTINMG KILLED?!

Well, Yes, you can put it like that I guess.

Sal: EVERYBODY, KILL THE AUTHOR!

Everybody: KILL HIM!

You guys can't kill me, you're all fictional.

Kenny: Oh… yeah.

Also on other news besides me getting killed by the Sal uprising, I've noticed that some of you have developed favorite characters like Sal, Shaina, Will and others. I will not be sticking to those characters more just because of that but try to give some other people some camera action such as Skay. But without further ado or uprisings, I present to you guys the eighteenth chapter!

Three days after getting to the tent village

The long waited… Sal POV

It's been three days since we got to the dubbed 'tent village.' While we were here, I decided to gather information about this place, not about the history, the leader, what were their plans, what kind of people lived here, you get the idea. They have an okay leader, not the best; he's quite naive and can be pretty stupid sometimes. Their plans so far from what I have learned are that they want to rebuild civilization and survive. I've also learned that this 'tent village' is actually just an expansion of the community next to it who has all kinds of things, RPGs, military grade weapons, vehicles, plenty of gas, self-sustaining farms, water, and men, guns and… Christmas lights. When I heard this, I was pretty confused as to why they might need Christmas lights but it turns out they draped the lights across the walls so they could turn them on if they suspected any people outside the walls that might be hostile. I heard a rumor that they had once accidentally filled an old car with led because the vehicle appeared to be moving towards them. Anyway, what they found the next day was an elderly couple and kids, dead with bullet holes in them. Guess it's a good thing we're with them if the rumors are suspected to be true. The people here are actually pretty nice and they have only had us do simple things like collecting the water from the nearby, which was heavily guarded with men, farming and keeping an eye on the livestock. It seems as if we have actually found a pretty good place here. Though there are a few things I am worried about. For one, having all these things makes this a pretty targetable place, equipment and men or not. Two is that they have actual planes that they fly around every now and then, an ultra-light, an old type of plane. They use them as forward scouts and artillery- only if things get too dangerous though. They have two of them. Three is that there seems to be a military dictatorship up north in a town named 'propaganda.' (A/N Yes, I named the town propaganda because I felt like it fit the setting) This is extremely concerning. They already completely destroyed a community by ours which had been an ally of ours apparently. They thought it was us, they saw an ultra-light scouting out an area near their home base. There are still refugees coming in from that place, it was bombed and completely destroyed with RPGs only a few days ago, four to be exact. The good news for that though is that we were able to capture one of theirs and interrogate him. He eventually gave in and told us all of their weak points. He even agreed to become one of the citizens; he's still under supreme surveillance and whatnot but is helping in the wheat fields none the less. Plans are to mount a counter offensive tomorrow. Whether we are able to even stand a surprise counter offensive is a huge risk and a concerning question to me, it might be our undoing. Though the leader's advisor is anything but naïve and stupid, he was an ex-CIA sleeper agent, he won't tell us any more than that. Their planning on expanding to include the gas station within our walls or to strengthen our own defenses in the tent village. Their having a vote on it today, it's expected to be a huge turnout. I think I'll vote on strengthening our own defenses. But anyway, the people in our group have been doing well; Skay's took a liking to a guy named Daniel he used to live in the mountains until an ultra-light spotted an old cottage among the mountains. When he heard of this place, he immediately ran to get here. He and Skay have been fishing a lot. Will and Meghan… now that'll be a sight. Will has taken it upon himself to pretty much be the 'lifesaver' of Meghan who in turn has without a doubt, fell for Will. Rufus is pretty paranoid about it though. Turns out Rufus and me have a lot of things in common, we have gotten to be pretty good friends. Tess has been occupied with all the little kids and Drew and Shaina are apparently a thing. Mike's been doing pretty well with Kenny and Chad. Clementine has been pretty distant though. Ok, I think that's good enough for now, I'll be back diary.

A little time later… about four hours later.

I woke up to the smell of burning fabric and screams. I opened my eyes immediately and looked around, sitting up in my sleeping bag. I couldn't see much due to it being the dead of night hut I could hear everything. Screams, the burning of fire, the horrible laughter. I unzipped the bag and jumped to my feet, rushing outside. Outside was complete chaos. Men in black face masks were throwing homemade Molotov into the air, setting fire to everything. I looked around me for a weapon, anything! I grabbed a wrench sitting idly to my left and tested the weight. Getting a feel to my new weapon, I rushed at one of the men. I struck him in the elbow with the wrench, causing him to fall to the ground and back away. I was about to finish him off before one of them tackled me from behind, throwing me to the ground. He landed on top of me, pressing a knife to my neck. I blocked with the wrench but I could see I was losing ground with the wrench, the knife growing ever closer. In a burst of rage for what they were doing, I pushed him off of me and took his knife, stabbing it in his right knee. He only growled though and lunged at me again, knife still in his knee. I easily dodged his misplaced lunge and rushed off. I came to Will fending off two men, holding them back with suppressive crossbow fire. Drew to my right, holding off a man with a chainsaw, Drew having nothing but a knife. And in front of me, Skay and Daniel holding off four men with bows and arrows. Which one should I help though?
