Hey guys it's me AuthorSkills back with Chapter 8

Yes I know I have been really slow with the updates I do not plan out any of my chapters it all comes from my brain as I do it. This story would take me much longer to write if I wrote it down before I typed it.

Now sorry for the people who liked the new characters so far but…..looks like you are going to have to wait and see what happened to them in chapter 9

Yes that means that this chapter is going to be about Jack and Nara again.

So for all of you who were waiting so long to see what happens next to Jack and Nara you are about to find out real soon what happens.

Chapter 8

The group had been walking for hours now with an occasional stop for a drink and a quick snack then heading off again. Their hearts were set on reaching their goal destination safely and quickly. Jack looked over and saw Nara with Jackson walking next to her. He smiled at how fast that the boy had warmed up to her and how quickly that she accepted to be his mother now that his real mother was dead. He felt bad for the small boy being so young and losing his mother must be really hard on him, luckily he had ran into them and they took him in and became his new family. Every time that the group would stop Nara and Flora would play with Jackson and would keep him entertained and also along the road every now and then would mess with him and make him laugh and feel like he was part of a new family. Jack looked forward on the path and saw smoke in the distance checking his map this indicated that they were coming up on the last town before they came into tiger territory completely with no towns in between until they reached Trace's house were they would get the money for Eric's slaves that were not to be called as such. Jack stopped everyone and said, "Alright Trace, Eric and I will go into the town to get some supplies because there will be no more towns on the way to Trace's house meaning we will need plenty of supplies. Now the rest of you are going to go around the outskirts of the town and meet us at the road leading out of town into the forest right here." Jack marked a spot on an extra map that he had and handed it to Nara. He then took his map and marked a dot in the same location. Jack continued, "Now you guys need to stay out of sight and be silent so that no one will hear you try and harm you and take you prisoner forcing me to have to go and hurt people, got it!" Everyone nodded understanding the plan except for Jackson but Jack knew that Nara would relay what he just said to him so that he would understand. Jack looked at Nara and had an idea. He looked through his Tac bag and found a radio that he normally would use as a backup for the radio that he already had on his tac vest but he took it off because he did not need it. Jack strapped on his radio to his vest with the cord that would go to the headset in his helmet. He put on his helmet and attached the cord to the headset. He then handed the other radio to Nara and said, "If you are in danger just radio me and tell me where you are headed I will be there to pick you up and thank the men for bringing you to me." Jack smiled and Nara nodded understanding just what Jack wanted her to do. Jack then looked around at everyone and said, "Alright then let's move." The group started down the path again the smoke stacks getting closer to them. Jack was on high alert ready for anything that even tried to jump them. Jack almost went nuts when a traveling trader passed by them when they almost neared where they were going to split up. His eyes never left the traders until they could barely be seen down the road and still moving he then turned back around and kept scanning the area. After about 20 minutes of walking they finally reached the tree line surrounding the town. The town was located in the middle of a large clearing with a small lake on one side. This made it easier for the others to go around the town and avoid it since there were trees all around the place. Jack estimated that by the time that they were done getting all the supplies that they needed that the other group would be nearing the point that he had designated as the meeting spot. Jack then turned and said, "Alright this is where we split up, Me, Eric, and Trace will go and get the things that we need. You guys just remember to be safe, out of sight, and quiet." Everyone nodded and that's when Jackson ran up and gave Jack a hug. Jack was surprised at first but then got on one knee and said, "You protect the girls, alright bigman." Jackson nodded understanding him luckily the group had figured out that his mother had been teaching him English and now Nara was helping him learn so he could almost get out full sentences. Nara had gotten Jackson to warm up to Jack and Nara could now see that Jack was the new father figure in Jackson's life. Jack stood up and smiled at the young Keidran. The group started to head their separate ways Nara headed off and Jack couldn't even see them so that was good so the other three started off down the path again. Jack looked over at the other two next to him and said, "Alright go get what you guys need and I will get what I need. Meet me by the gate soon if I'm not there when you get there just wait for the others." The other two nodded and looked back forward the gate getting closer. The guards then yelled, "HALT! What are your intentions when you enter into this town!" Jack looked at the guard and said, "We are just passing through we will be grabbing some supplies and then heading back out onto the road to continue our travels." The guard nodded and waved them in allowing them entry into the city. Once they were inside of the walls the group split off ready to search for what was needed. Jack walked over to a stand that looked to be selling food. He bought some food and the man packed it in a nice sack for him. Jack put the food into his pack and then kept looking around for anything else they might just need. He saw a vender that looked to be selling rock candy from the looks of it so he walked over to him. "What are you selling here?" Jack asked the vender, "I have melted down sugar and made it hard, would you like a sample?" Jack nodded his head and the vender gave him a small piece. When he tried it he starting having memories of having rock candy as a child it tasted just like it. Jack bought a whole bag full so that everyone in there group could have at least three. The man was thrilled that Jack had bought his product and asked him to come again when he could and that he soon was going to try and put flavors into it. Jack just nodded and started to walk away. After a small amount of walking he ended up meeting up again with Trace and Eric both with bags of food so they started walking again. That's when Jacks earpiece started going off on the other end was Nara. "Jack those traders followed us into the woods they tied all of us up were headed towards the town to try and sell us already." Trace then asked, "What's going on?" Jack answered him, "Those traders from earlier followed them into the woods and tied them up from background sound there in the cart they had and she must have been able to press the button on the radio." Trace was getting mad and so was Jack. That's when Jack had an idea he got on the radio and asked Nara, "When are they going to try?" Nara replied, "I heard them talking about as soon as they get there they have a partner that they will collaborate with, we're at the gates now." Jack nodded and got a plan in his head over the radio he said, "Hold tight." Jack looked at the other two and told them his plan, "Now the traders have planned to try and sell them tonight. Now this is a small town and word gets around fast." Jack stopped talking and saw that cart a few yards away and moved the other two so that the people on the cart would not see them. Jack saw that they were headed for a tent that seemed to already had slaves near it. Jack then looked at the others and said, "Alright so were going to head over there and take those stupid slavers out and then free the others. Then we give the key to a random slave tell him to unlock everyone and get out of there as soon as possible so that the guards can't get set up in time." The other two nodded and they started to make their way towards the tent where they saw the cart stop. The slavers jumped off the front and opened the back pulling the rest of the group out of the back. Jack saw Nara get pulled out but she was resisting so the slaver smacked her across the face. In doing so it turned her head so that she could see Jack heading their way and she smiled and started obeying seeing the anger in Jack's face and knowing this guy was going to be in a lot of pain. Jack's rage meter was going crazy as he saw Nara get smacked but he used his training and calmed down knowing that anger could get him killed, Only to use it when it was needed. When the three ended up across the street Jack turned and looked at the other two, "I need you guys to stay out here and be ready when stuff starts going down." The two nodded as Jack pulled the suppressor for his M416 out of his Tac bag. Jack nodded at the two and started off towards the tent weapon drawn and ready. When he reached the tent he took a deep breath in and then opened the flap slowly and saw the others in their own little section still in ropes and Jack smiled at the mistake. He then scanned the room and saw all of the slavers they were the ones waving their arms around and showing people slaves. He had been in a situation like this before and scanning the room and assessing what to shoot and what not to shoot took him less than three seconds and on the count of three he barged in. He swept left to right Semi-Auto engaged and took out each slaver one at a time all of them shot with a clean shot to the forehead. Just at the last one the one that slapped Nara he shot in the leg so that he would not be killed. All of this going down in a matter of seconds and when realization hit the buyers they all got up and started running out of the tent. Jack then went over to the others knowing that he did not have much time and drew his combat knife and starting cutting everyone free. Nara came first and then he went down the line and jumped when he heard a gunshot. A dead guard was at the entrance and Nara stood there 1911 in hand barrel smoking waiting for the next guard to come in. Jack then got everyone untied as Trace and Eric rushed in telling them that a lot of guards were coming. Jack ran over to a slave hiding under a table and said, "Free all your buddies and get out of here!" The slave nodded and started to unlock the other with the keys from one of the dead slavers. Jack knew he would be safe all of the guards would be after them. The rest of the group had the rest of their things so they started running they ran out of the front tent flaps to see ten guards waiting. Before they could say anything Jack and Nara started unloading five each, each dropping within a second of each other and then there was no more guards in the way. They kept running until they saw that they were starting to shut the gate. Jack stopped and took aim and fired hitting the guard that was controlling the gate, his body falling and jamming the wheel. The group kept running and were forced to stop when a wall of men two deep with wood shields started advancing on them. Jack already full of anger let it go. He snapped the M416 up flipped it onto Full-Auto and started burst firing three rounds into the shields with the first row down he looked and saw that his mag was empty. He quickly ejected his empty mag and traded it out for another mag smacked his hand against the slide release and started firing again taking out the second row of shields that had gotten dangerously close. The group then ran again and made it out of the gates and kept running this time Jack her something flying through the air and bouncing off his plate carrier remembering that he had it on and that a small arrow would never get through it. Finally the group ran into the tree line and into Tiger territory where they knew that the guards would not follow. After a small time of walking Jack decided that it was time to set up camp. It was starting to get very dark and it was nearing midnight by the look of the moon. The group set up camp ate a small dinner and crawled into the tents knowing that their journey was not over yet.
