Ari felt something breathing of his face, he opened his eyes and saw Boomer sitting right in front of him. His tongue was drooping out of his mouth like it always does Boomer tilted his head and stared at Ari for a few moments. Ari felt a warm hand wrapped around his chest he turned around and saw faith sleeping on his back, he realized he was in the most uncomfortable position his left hand was holding faith's, and his right well it was somewhere near her crotch. He knew if he moved his hand quickly he would wake her up so he slowly lifted his head and placed faiths hands on her eyes, he grabbed one of faith's legs and lifted it enough to let his arm free. He gently placed her leg down and was about to get out of bed until he realized he was naked. He scouted the room and saw his clothes but they were too far for him to reach Ari woke up Peaches and asked her and Boomer to head out to the kitchen for breakfast. They both obeyed him and ran down to the kitchen Ari quickly ran over and plopped on his clothes he picked up faiths too and plopped her's down on the bed.

Ari gave some food for Boomer and Peaches, then went to grab some notepads to help out faith while she takes care of the animals while he's gone. He popped a couple of notes on each cupboard and each door he prepared breakfast for the two of them once he finished his he placed faiths in the fridge. He also wrote a note for her so when she wakes up she'll be prepared for her day. Ari went down to the bunker to get some towels, a toothbrush, comb and he grabbed some clothes that he thought would fit faith. He headed up and piled it all up on the desk beside the beds. Alright, now that's over with I have to write the note.

To Rachel. No, no, no she might not like it if I called her her real name Ari tossed the note in the bin

Dear Faith. No too formal he thought as he tossed to paper into the bin.

Yo whaddup, Faith. Yeh much better Ari thought

When Ari finished he placed the piece of paper down on top of the stack of things Ari got for her. He had a quick shower and put on the clothes that he had placed on the couch the day before. He walked out back and called out to Hurk to get the squad down by Faith's bunker Hurk obeyed him. Ari grabbed the ATV and drove off

Faith woke up startled to see that it was about midday she had slept for so long. she looked to her left and saw a pile of supplies and a letter, she got up and walked over to read the letter it said:

Yo whaddup, Faith

Imma heading out to get the sheriff. I've got you some supplies from the bunker outback like a towel, toothbrush, comb, and some new clothes not sure if they'll fit you but yeh I'll be back in maybe a day or more.

Ari

Faith had a small smile as she read the note she pulled on her dress and limped off to feed Boomer and Peaches since it was midday they would be probably hungry Faith thought. She saw that there was a cabinet that said Peaches and Boomer's food, Faith opened the cabinet door and grabbed some 2 pieces of meat. She plopped down the meat and grabbed some water for the animal's Faith called out to them, they lazily walked over to their bowel and started to go at the meat.

Faith was satisfied and headed out to check out what was in the pile of supplies. Faith walked through the corridor that led to the bedroom and checked out the pile she already knew what was in it but she wanted to check if the clothes fit. She was surprised to see that most of the clothes fit her, there were some pants and some long-sleeved shirts and there were two large jackets which she knew wouldn't fit but it was getting chilly so she was happy to have them. But other than the jackets everything fit her Faith decided to have a shower and brush her teeth she headed out to the bathroom with the pants and long-sleeved shirt she took the tooth-brush with her since she wanted to brush up.

Faith took her shower and brushed her teeth she grabbed her clothes and plopped them on she headed out to have some breakfast although it was nearly sunset she saw another note in the fridge that said Made You Some Breakfast faith opened the fridge door and saw a bowl of Mac and Cheese and a glass of raspberry juice she picked it up and found a microwave to heat it up. While faith waited for the food to heat she wandered around the place checking out the notes that Ari had left, most of them were just telling her what was inside she found the laundry which made her happy since she needed to wash her dress. She sprinted to get the dirty clothes that belonged to Ari and her. By the time she had started up the washing machine, she realized that she left her food in the microwave.

Faith walked over to the microwave and took the food out she began to devour the Mac n' cheese and chugging down the juice it looked as if she was doing both things at once. Once faith had finished she started to check out more of the cabin there wasn't anything special other than Ari's belongings he had a large backpack a couple of books and a diary. Faith was tempted to check out the diary but she didn't want to invade his privacy so she walked to the fireplace and started a fire Boomer was chilling by the fire while peace was guarding the corridor that led from the front door to the kitchen and bedroom.

Faith could feel a small chill run through her back as the sunset the temperature felt like it dropped like a hundred even though faith was only a few meters from the fireplace stroking boomers back as he slept. Faith got up and slowly limped towards the bedroom to grab one of the big jackets, she took the thickest jacket but biggest jacket out of the two it was a black jacket with red diagonal stripes on it.

She quickly headed out to the kitchen to get some dinner for herself and the two beasts. She opened the same cabinet as before and took out 4 pieces of meat this time she grabbed a and started to cook up the meat chunks. Once she was happy with what she had created she gently placed the food onto the bowls and once again filled up the animals' bowls with water faith called out to them and once again they lazily walked over faith gently stoked both of the animals' backs but she was still afraid of peaches.

Faith checked out some of the cabinets and found a can of beans, she got out a pan and started to cook up the beans she cut up some carrots and veggies and plopped them down onto the pan. Once faith was done with her cooking she took out her servings and left some for Ari hoping that he would be back by midnight or tomorrow morning.

Faith slowly devoured her meal she was exhausted and was about to hit the hay until she remembered about the laundry she quickly limped over to the room and took out the clothes she went outside and started to hang up the clothing but the freezing temperature made her slower and her fingers were starting to feel numb and itchy.

Faith had finally finished the torture of hanging the clothes she went back inside and locked the door behind her he checked that everything was locked and turned off once she did her check she went over to the fireplace and put it out. She called peaches and boomer over to bed she had found a small blanket to cover up the animals.

Once the animals fell asleep faith hit the hay but she had difficulty falling asleep she was worried about Ari she hoped he wasn't injured or died. Her thoughts invaded her and she was unable to think straight so she decided to close her eyes and fall asleep but she was suddenly disturbed by knocking at the door. Faith instantly got up and slowly and cautiously limped over to the door she thought it was Ari but she was still unsure she was going to open the door until she heard the lock of the door click.

The door swung open but to faiths surprise, it wasn't Ari it was a woman her face was hard to see because of the darkness but faith could see she was armed with a bow and that she wore a hoodie. The woman did not seem to look happy faith could see her fists tighten and her body stance change as if she was about to charge. From instincts faith slowly walked back.

"Fucking Bitch what are you doing here?"

Ari was down at The whitetail mountain fishing. He was trying to catch a fish to give to cheeseburger

"Come on gimme a big one" Ari cried out to the lake

He felt a pull on the string and he quickly started to oppose the fishes movement. Ari was successful the fish was weaker, weak enough for Ari to reel it in. Ari successfully caught the fish.

"Fuck yeh" Ari cried in excitement "Time to get cheesy boi"

Ari quickly sprinted over to his brand new car that was graffitied with 'sinner' at the front Ari was disappointed to be driving one of these cars but he had to since he gave his ATV away to some people who were at faiths bunker. So Ari was stuck with this hunk of junk he was grateful but still mad he loved that ATV.

Ari was driving down the road to his destination until he blacked out he heard his tires screech and then he heard the right side of the car slam something he felt the car spinning around and around for at least 3 times until the left side of the car hit something too the car spun the other direction now but it hit something that sent the car flying Ari had gained his senses back and he was at least 5 feet up in the air, the car landed on its head. Ari was hanging upside down thankfully he was wearing a seatbelt he could feel some type of liquid running up his face.

Ari could smell petrol leaking which gave him a sign to get the hell out of there, Ari pressed the eject button for the seatbelt luckily it came off Ari landed with a thump on his head.

"Fuck"

Ari quickly crawled out of the car once he was out he started to sprint. He was at least 10 feet from the car when it exploded. Ari once again was walking down the streets but luckily this time he was near his destination. He still had a first aid kit which he quickly applied before going anywhere.

Once ari reached his destination he took out his binocs and scouted the area he estimated about 10 peggies.

"Easy"

Ari ran in with his LMG he would use his bow and arrow but it's not an outpost so he didn't need stealth. Ari went in guns blazing killing nearly every single peggie with half of his mag once everyone was dead Ari ran overlooking for cheeseburger. Ari stumbled across cheeseburger by accident the bear was asleep near the lake Ari walked towards the beast with the salmon he had caught earlier.

"Hey buddy," Ari said as he walked her cheeseburger with the salmon

Cheeseburger awoke and growled at Ari. Ari nearly stumbled when cheeseburger growled at him but Ari got back his courage and started walking toward cheeseburger.

"Lookie at what I got your favorite thing other than cheeseburgers," Ari said with a shaky voice

Cheeseburger came up to Ari and started munching on the salmon

"Good boy," Ari said as he stroked cheeseburgers jaw

Ari gestured cheeseburger to follow him the bear obeyed some peggies rolled up but were killed by Ari before they could even leave their car. Ari hopped onto one of the Peggies cars and gestured cheeseburger to hop onto the back. Once cheeseburger was on Ari revved the car and drove off.

About 50 minutes of driving Ari had reached the prison he wanted to grab a new vehicle since the peggie car was nearly dry of gas. Ari went over and bought a new ATV but this time it was a black and green one.

"Sorry buddy your gonna have to run now," Ari said to cheeseburger. As he started the engine and drove off cheeseburger following him.

About 45 minutes had passed and Ari and cheeseburger had reached the cabin Ari had a huge grin on his face finally he gets to meet Boomer, Peaches, and Faith again.

"Welcome home," Ari told cheeseburger as he gestured him inside cheeseburger had a small struggle to fit through the doorway Ari giggled at cheeseburger and then walked in after him.

Ari could hear the back door close as he entered

"Faith" Ari called out

He could hear small whimpers as he walked towards the bedroom, he was spots of blood on the floor and walls Ari was slowly getting worried, he started to speed walk now. He entered the bedroom to see Boomer and Peaches lying on faith's shoulders. Faith was lying on the floor curled up into a ball she wore the clothes Ari had picked out for her but they were soaked in blood in fact faith had blood all around her body.

She looked up at him her eyes were bloodshot and she had black sacs under her eyelids, a small gash that went from her cheekbone to her left nostril. Tears streamed down her face.

Ari walked over to her.

"Hey, you good?" Ari said in a calm tone "Who did this to you?" he asked more questions filled his mind but he didn't want to bombard her with questions.

He sat down next to her he reached out to grab her but she slapped away his hand.

"What happened? tell me please." Ari asked but she didn't reply

"Oi if you don't tell me I'll teabag you" "Yeh you wouldn't want that now do you?" Ari said hoping for a response but she didn't say anything she did sit up properly probably trying to avoid Ari teabagging her. Once again Ari tried reaching for her but she once again declined. Ari was starting to get annoyed he was going to ask her another question until she said.

"Why?" her voice was raspy and dead Ari nearly didn't know what she said.

"What do you mean why?"

"This was a part of your plan to use me. Get my trust and then backstab me once I gave away important information that you need to defeat the father and Jacob"

"Wh-wha what do you mean? 'backstab' I left to save the sheriff and get cheeseburger that's all I don't use people its something that I vowed to myself to never do."

"Then who was she the one who did this?"

"I- I don't know who you are talking about"

"I still don't believe in what you're saying, I've been manipulated and used by many so how are you any different"
"I didn't plan any of this shit god admit" Ari raised his voice "S-sorry I tend to shout when people don't trust me that one thing I always try to find in a relationship I also try to find honesty, patience, and someone fun but I'm all about trust... Well, I'm going to sleep on the couches with cheeseburger since your in a bad mood." Ari said before heading out to the living room.

Ari gestured cheeseburger to the second couch that was opposite of his. Ari turned on the fireplace and took off his dirty clothes and applied his purple sleeveless shirt and purler pants the same outfit he had when he saved faith just purple. Ari turned off the lights and fell asleep immediately
