Fall - Early October

Severine leaned against a tree trying to catch her breath. Her throat was swollen and painful, and she was running a high fever. Sweat ran down her head, her body was moist and even though she had chills just a few moments ago, her body now felt like it was on fire even though she had nothing but a short piece of cloth covering her body. It wasn't even enough to cover her private parts properly. Her legs hurt like nothing she had ever felt before, and puss ran down the infected wounds where that crazy witch had sown shark skin and fish scales on her. She had problems maintaining her balance and would fall down regularly. The fever had affected her mind too. She had trouble staying awake and couldn't focus on anything.

Collecting her thoughts seemed like an impossible task but Severine tried regardless. She had been tied up on a pole in a rocky basin of seawater near the ocean, caged like a fish in a live net. A mermaid, that's what they thought she was. That black substance the fat lady force-fed her almost made her believe she was one. A lesser mind might've succumbed, like the simpletons who believed every word that sociopath of a leader told them, but Severine was strong-willed and clung to reason figuring out what they had given her was some sort of hallucinogen, combined with the power of suggestion.

A sea monster, Dagon they called him. A deity they revered. Severine had seen him too in the drug-induced dreams they had put her in, or at least a version of him based on the carvings and attributes the cultists had made or things from the sea she had seen in her life. But she had figured it out. The young woman who was the cultists' leader kept her subjects in check by giving them regular doses of the hallucinogen during some sort of mass, the 'black wine' she called it. Once they became true believers, she'd give them 'the mist', to which they became addicted. It turned some of them into raging berserkers. Bringing them a live 'mermaid' only strengthened their belief.

But there were exceptions. Among them were people who apparently had retained some of their humanity. Like the man who had been feeding her antibiotics in secret. She was sick and her wounds were badly infected but if he hadn't given her those pills she probably would've been dead weeks ago. Then, about an hour ago, he had set her free but not before giving her a mini-dose of cocaine.

Severine wasn't alone either. With her was a teenage girl who even though she had been leaning on most of the time and had picked her up whenever she fell, Severine was still distrustful of, most likely because the girl was still dressed as one of the cultists. The girl had said things to her in English and even though Severine spoke the language as if it was her maternal language before, her feverish mind somehow kept her from understanding and speaking it. If she had said anything to the girl it would've been in French, most likely incomprehensible to the young girl.

Severine looked back. The girl had her back turned on her, probably looking for any pursuers. In a haze of fever-induced paranoia and powered by the dose of cocaine the man had given her, Severine let go of the tree she had been leaning on and sprinted forward out of the treeline, onto the beach for no reason she could think of. As she probably could've predicted, her legs couldn't keep up and she fell down in the sand after a few meters.

When she lifted her head and looked up, Severine believed herself to have another fever-induced hallucination. In front of her stood a platoon of American World War 2 soldiers. She didn't have time to poke through the hallucination though. She had asked too much of her body with the sprint she had done in a futile effort to get away from the girl. Severine fainted, and her head fell down on the sand.

This was where she was going to die, and in a final thought she hoped death would come before the cultists would find her.

It was a sunny day in the fall, with a light chilly breeze coming from the ocean. Things had been well in Bar Harbor, the Wisconsin people had adapted and assimilated themselves with the people of Bar Harbor, fortifying ranks within the militia as well as the civilian workforce. There had been little to no problems and whoever had attacked the train appeared not to have come looking. But Mallory had ordered the defenses to be boosted anyway, and now that they had more masons to put to work they had begun building a stone wall to gradually replace the wooden one around the town.

She had also implemented a civilian council, relieving herself of some other problems for others to deal with. She was still in charge but had less to worry about now. It left time for Mallory to occupy herself more with military matters, and even able to partake in some, like the patrol she was leading right now.

She found herself on a beach in Lamoine, looking over the Mount Desert Narrows. More people meant more need for hardware, and today they were going to get just that. With her were the 'usual suspects' like Troy and Claudia and some of the bikers, as were Ziggy, Brody and Thomas. Ziggy's gunshot wounds had healed up nicely over the summer and once she was deemed able had joined the militia along with the two boys. Mallory knew that the young German girl was driven by a certain thirst for revenge for the death of her beloved Ayita, and same went for Thomas and Brody wanting vengeance for Carmin and Ellie.

Mallory was sympathetic to their situation, having been confronted by people who forgot how to be human herself. Plans were on the table to start a task force that would occupy themselves with ridding the world of raider-types, and these three youngsters would become the first recruits for that task force. Because of their actions in the Battle of Bar Harbor, and their heroics on the train, Mallory had Ziggy, Brody and Thomas start out as NCO's in the militia, granting all three of them the rank of sergeant. The same offer was on the table for Sara Ramirez. They were also distinguishable from the other Mariners in the patrol due to the fact that they didn't wear a regular Mariner uniform but a tiger stripe BDU. Mallory herself wore her old Marpat BDU she had from her time in the Marine Corps, along with a coyote colored plate carrier.

Player character: Sieglinde 'Ziggy' Krüger - German national - former college student - militia sergeant - sniper - lost her fiancée Ayita during the train attack by the Disciples of the Deep Ones

NPC: Brody Mitchell - Bar Harbor native - fisherman's son - militia sergeant - capable soldier - lost girlfriend Carmin during train attack

NPC: Thomas Winfield - Bar Harbor native - militia sergeant - machine gunner - lost girlfriend Ellie during train attack

Taking in one last look over the Narrows, Mallory walked a few feet back to where the military vehicles were parked and where the others were waiting for instructions. Jake had already started dividing tasks to the others, and waved Mallory over to the vehicle that had the map laid out on the hood.

"Alright Commander, Able squad's got the big truck so I'm sending them to look for medical equipment at the Trenton Health Center." Jake said to Mallory. "Baker'll scour the town of Ellsworth for electronics. There used to be a Walmart Supercenter there, if it's clear I reckon we should be able to find some there as well. Charlie's the techies and they have the flatbed truck so I'm having them look at the McDonald's and the Lobster Pound BBQ for stoves and whatnot. As for Dog, you wanted to command them yourself?"

"Yeah I'll take Dog myself." Mallory answered. "There's a few places of worship I'd like to check out, make sure no 'unholy' people have been making it their home."

"Really? Still looking for signs of the train attackers?"

"If they hoofed it from Wisconsin, might be around the time they'd arrive here."

"Sure you're not looking for ghosts?"

Mallory was about to answer Jake, but then heard one of the Mariner soldiers shouting. She rushed over to see a woman lying in the sand, and although she appeared badly wounded she didn't have that specific paleness of the skin that came with being infected by the dead. Mallory ran past her soldiers and toward the woman, kneeling next to her. Another soldier came to her aid and helped Mallory turn the woman around on her back. The first thing Mallory did was check to see if the victim was breathing. Mallory could feel the warmth of the woman's breath on her ear and saw her chest go up and down. She was still alive.

"She's still alive!" Mallory shouted. "MEDIC!"

One of the Mariners obeyed and rushed over, taking off his medical bag and going to work. Mallory herself gave the woman a few pinches but the only thing she got in return were a few grunts.

"Everyone, perimeter!" Jake ordered. "She might've been running from someone or something!"

The rest of the soldiers formed a perimeter around the trucks and Mallory and the medic. Ziggy climbed on top of a truck and readied her sniper rifle. Thomas and Brody took position on each side of the truck below. Mallory tried waking the woman, but to no avail. That is, until the medic stuck the needle for the IV in. The woman screamed in panic and wanted to get up, but Mallory firmly pressed her back down.

"It's okay, we got you!" Mallory said. "We're here to help. What's your name miss?"

The woman just stared at Mallory, but surprisingly calmed down. She then grabbed Mallory by the collar.

"Ne buvez pas... le vin noir!" the woman said, then fainted again.

"What the fuck?" the Mariner spoke. "What she say!?"

Mallory was baffled for a second. Was that... French? She didn't have much time to think on it though, from on top of the truck Ziggy had spotted something else through the scope of her rifle.

"Got movement!" Ziggy shouted. "Eleven o'clock in the bushes!"

Mallory grabbed her trusty silenced M4A1 assault rifle and aimed to where Ziggy had pointed out.

"Hold fire!" Mallory ordered her troops. "You in the bushes, come on out with your hands up!"

The French-speaking woman had been heavily battered, and was barely dressed with nothing but a piece of cloth on her body. It was possible that whoever was in the bushes was the one who had inflicted the harm. Mallory intended to find out though first before she had the others blast the person away. They either did things right, or they didn't do them at all.

Megan had been running for who knows how long since she separated from her father after rescuing Severine, her head was pounding and she was breathing very heavily but she promised her dad that Severine she would help Severine to the best of her ability even if that mean pushing her body and after she checked the coast was clear she came back and had lost sight of the woman "Shit..." Megan said as she began panicking she can't have lost her now.

Player Character - Megan Spectre - Escapee from The Disciples of The Deep Ones with help of her Father

Megan was thinking how the hell did Severine escape the woman was barely conscious she had been carrying her for most of the way then Megan heard a crunch and then people shouting dammit had they been found Megan quickly ran out of the way and hid behind a tree and began breathing heavily had she failed her Father.

Megan began hearing shouting and things about a medic they must have found Severine "Damn" Megan said quietly to herself and then suddenly she heard something that made her heart drop "You in the bushes, come on out with your hands up!" she was normally good at hiding it was this damn dress why did she decide to escape in this thing again.

Megan got back on her feet and then raised her hands before walking out of the bushes "Don't shoot, I'm unarmed" Megan said apprehensively as she walked out she saw that they were in military uniforms "Wait your not them, oh thank god" Megan said as her head began to rush as her legs gave way and she collapsed on the floor, still conscious but her legs were having none of it she was safe.

Paul had recently returned to Bar Harbor and was still getting the hang of being around civilians, so when he heard that they were going after a group that had recently attacked them before Paul had joined he jumped at the opportunity because he just couldn't be at his old house when none of his family were there, he was allowed to join the squad but he had to start from the beginning again because not many people knew him apart from people who were from Bar Harbor initially but Paul was more than happy to do that because it gave him something to do.

Paul was surprised with how well organized Mallory had been and he could tell how serious everyone was he heard a lot of the people who had come had lost someone of significance in the attack so he understood why they wanted revenge but he was going to make sure that no one did anything stupid.

Paul was trying to listen in what the three sergeants and Mallory was saying before he began hearing someone shouting, the man moved surprising fast for his age but it left him a little winded when he got over to where they were shouting from to see a woman and she didn't look that old probably about 22 - 24 but Paul couldn't pinpoint it but Mallory shouted for a Medic "Shit is she okay?" Paul said as he looked down and noticed her legs "What the fuck..." Paul said in shock as he saw the woman's legs it had seemed that she had her fish scales on her legs "Who the fuck?" Paul asked just as a needle was jabbed into her legs and she screamed.

Paul jumped after the scream but then got back to form only catching the word "...noir" from the woman and the medic who stabbed the woman with the needle asking what she just said "I think noir...that's black in French right?" Paul asked while looking around the area to make sure no one was around the area, whoever did that to this woman might be nearby and his suspicions were confirmed as he heard the woman named Ziggy say that there was someone in the bushes.

Paul went over to where he heard it and kept he gun trained on the bushes as he noticed someone step out, it was a girl but she looked familiar "wait your not them, oh thank god" he heard the girl say and then something ticked in his mind "Wait...Meggy?" Paul said as he was lowering his gun he saw her begin to collapse and he ran towards her and just caught her in time and sure enough when he saw her face that confirmed his suspicions and he didn't care if it would show weakness, he began to cry because he believed her dead and here she was alive and well "Shit, Meggy I'm so glad your alive and here was me thinking you died in Atlanta"

We may be in the apocalypse but that doesn't mean that we forget human decency and delve into ungodly acts and depravity.

The bikers followed the Militia and while they weren't officially in the Militia he felt as if they were brothers and sisters in arms. Once getting off their bikes they patrolled the area. Troy had Cutler, Max and Grant the prospect with him. He had Roger and Paco stay behind in Bar Harbor just in case something were to happen but Troy had a feeling Bar Harbor was safe. Still though anything could happen when you least expect it. Troy walked around with his saw-off shotgun out but he kept his eyes on Ziggy, Brody, Thomas, Sara and Laura. He hadn't talked to Sara since she hit him still though he was willing to give her space as much as she needed. "Hey brother." said Cutler to Troy who turned to him. "You still haven't talked to her?" asked Cutler to Troy who shook his head. "Nah just giving her space...She needs it." said Troy softly to Cutler who nodded. Troy then looked at Claudia who was near some of the Militia and he turned to the big man smirking at him. "So what happened with you two?" asked Troy with a smirk to Cutler who looked confused until he saw that Troy was nudging his head towards Claudia. The big biker just shook his head at Troy. "Nah nothing." said Cutler. "Oh come on, I thought we were friends." said Troy to Cutler who just rolled his eyes. "A gentleman always keeps his love life to himself." said Cutler to Troy who was now rolling his eyes but he could understand Cutler as he never talked about his sex life with Ysabel to the boys. That was a one way ticket to lose his balls.

When the girl was found in the sand and Jake called for a perimeter the bikers joined in. Troy had his saw-off while Cutler had his Spas-12 and Grant had a Taurus PT92AF. When a little girl came out of the bushes Troy wasn't taking any chances but it seemed that Paul, the newcomer knew the girl as he rushed towards her and caught her. Troy looked at the woman that was passed out a noticed what seemed to be fish scales on her. He kneeled down and gently touch them shaking his head as he stood up and looked to Mallory. "We gotta go now. Those assholes could be nearby." said Troy to Mallory.

Sara was with Ziggy and her friends and all she could think about was revenge at the moment. She took up Mal's off in joining the Militia and was taking it seriously as she was now carrying a Heckler & Koch HK91. Her father Marco had been teaching her and Laura how to use guns like that. She knew she could have gone to Claudia, Jake, Justin or anyone in the Militia but having her father teach her it was a nice bonding moment for the two. Sara scanned the area but she couldn't see anyone else. "Don't see anyone Zigs." said Sara to Ziggy. Laura had gone down to the beach armed with a Colt M4A1 and was standing near Paul and the girl. "Grab her and lets go. We shouldn't stay out here to long." said Laura to the newcomer.

Things took a turn for the weird when out of the bushes came a teenage girl in some old, almost Amish-like getup. Things got even weirder when it turned out Paul knew her. Mallory squinted her eyes a bit, wasn't that girl in the photo he had shown her... his granddaughter? Something the girl said occupied Mallory's mind more though; did she say she was glad they weren't 'them'? Who was them? She walked over to the girl and Paul looking for a few answers.

"Sorry to interrupt, but what did you mean when you said we 'weren't them'?" Mallory asked. "Who's 'them'? And what the hell happened to her?"

Mallory pointed at the French girl being taken care of by the medic. He didn't seem up to the task though which was understandable, considering they only taught the medics combat medicine. With the girl in the delirious state she was in and her legs being inflamed like they were Mallory knew they needed to take her back to Bar Harbor fast. Cassie and her mother would know better what to do than anyone who was here.

"Put her in the truck!" Mallory said to the medic. "Cover her legs in Betadine but don't wrap them up. Check her for bitemarks too and keep monitoring her vitals. Go!"

Mallory figured using bandages would be redundant. The wounds were already infected and they'd just take them off in the clinic. Troy suggested getting out of there and Mallory shared the sentiment. They'd just have to come back another day.

"Yeah, let's go." Mallory answered Troy, then turned to the others. "Everyone, mission's cancelled! We'll come back another day! Pack it up and move out!"

Mallory went over to Paul and put her hand on his shoulder. "Grab her and let's..." she spoke, but then she felt an impact on her plate carrier. She was thrown back a bit but remained on her feet. She looked down to see an arrow had pierced one of the M4 magazines she carried on her. It had saved her life.

"CONTACT!" Mallory yelled. "CONTACT! GET TO COVER!"

Mallory grabbed her M4, flicked it on full-auto and started firing into the bushes as she stepped back towards one of the trucks. She fired randomly because she couldn't see the assailant. Once Paul and his granddaughter were safe behind cover, Mallory took cover herself and reloaded her assault rifle.

"Mal! You okay!?" Claudia yelled, seeing the arrow on her best friend's plate carrier.

"Fine! Didn't go through!" Mal shouted. "They're in the treeline, eyes open and return fire if you see them!"

Mallory broke off the arrow in her vest, then realized Ziggy was still on the roof of the truck without any cover.

"Ziggy! Get down from there!" Mal yelled. Ziggy obeyed and jumped down, but while she was in mid-air an arrow hit her right at the bottom of her braid, pinning it to the tarp of the truck she was on.

"Aah scheisse!" Ziggy cursed. Her feet dangled a bit above the ground and she was only able to touch the floor with the tips of her toes. Seeing what had happened, Brody immediately jumped up, grabbed Ziggy's long braid and pulled the arrow out, freeing Ziggy.

"Thanks B.!" Ziggy said, then took cover next to Sara and Laura. Medics were pulling the stretcher with the French girl underneath one of the army trucks. Ziggy hoped it was enough. She switched to her Glock 17. Brody looked at the arrow he just pulled out of Ziggy's braid and noticed it looked familiar.

"Arrowhead's a gar scale!" Brody said. "It's them alright!"

Mallory remembered the arrows they had pulled from the train, the same kind Brody had just found. It seemed the train attackers had caught up with them. Mallory knew they had to deal with this situation here and now.

"Anyone got a visual!?" Mallory yelled. "I can't see shit!"

"Nothing!" Claudia answered. "Think it's them!?"

"Doesn't matter! They're not getting these girls back!"

"You heard the Commander, shoot'em if you see'em!"

Mallory turned to Paul first. "Get her in one of the trucks!" she said to him, the girl didn't look like she was in any state to fight. Mallory then turned to Troy.

"Got those molotovs?" Mallory asked. "Let's burn them out!"

Mallory stuck her head out from behind the front of the truck she was behind, but couldn't see anything. Another arrow landed near her in the sand.

"You know just once I'd like to fight off a few dead guys instead of these kind of assholes!" Mallory said to Troy. "Fuck, here we go again!"

Mallory then waited to see if Troy had molotovs. Maybe Cutler had brought the flamethrower too. In any case they weren't leaving until the people attacking them were dead. Due to lack of explosives burning them out of the treeline was the best idea Mallory could come up with. If they came running out, they could pick them off one by one.

Megan was caught by a man just as she was about to hit the ground, when she looked she recognized the face as someone she didn't expect to see it was her Grandfather "Gramps, your alive?" Megan said as she gave him a hug the pleasantries was short lived though as she was immediately talked to by a lady who looked like they were in charge "Sorry to interrupt, but what did you mean when you said we 'weren't them'?" the woman asked as was Megan slowly lifted off the ground by her Grandfather after another woman with long blonde said to grab her because they shouldn't stay there long "I don't plan to do so" Paul said to the woman "It's okay she's okay" Paul said to Megan in confidence.

"Right, sorry guess I should explain myself, I've been held captive by a group calling themselves Disciples of The Deep Ones they are under some sort of drug or that's what my father said..." Megan was cut off by her Grandfather "Wait your Dad's alive?" her Grandfather said in surprise "Yeah he's alive last time I saw him but Mom didn't make it" she said solemnly before clearing her throat "About that woman is named Severine, she joined the group a while ago with her being called a mermaid but the drug didn't last that long on her so she was tortured by The High Priestess sowing scales and shit on her leg, my Dad wanted to help but he knew she would last if she stayed in the group so me and her escaped, we've been running ever since" Megan finished, Paul looked down in sadness "Jesus that's a specific kind of crazy" he said to himself.

The woman ordered soldier near Severine to bring her back to the van and she talked to her Grandfather but was cut off by arrows "No...They're here" Megan said in fear.

Megan began hearing a lot of shouting and everything was moving so fast a blonde woman was caught by their arrows, the woman in charge said something to her Grandfather and he shouted back "Don't need to tell me twice" before he began run with Megan in his arms she curled up in them in fear "Don't let them take me..." she said quietly to her Grandfather.

Paul was sprinting as fast as he could with Megan in his arms, he was still trying to process everything that Megan just said, she was held captive and her Dad was back with those psychopaths that meant that Junior was still alive.
Paul was snapped out of his thought process when he heard Megan whisper "Don't let them take me..." Paul continued running "Don't worry kiddo, I have no plans to let them take you" Paul said just as he reached the van, he placed Megan in the back before placing her in the back of the trucks "I'll be back in a few kiddo, I've got some people to deal with they've messed with the wrong family" Paul said with a scowl as he ran in with his weapons at the ready.

Paul began seeing people moving in the tree line he lined up his gun to see the heads of people poking out so they could shoot there arrows he was able to get on of the men but the rest were incredibly fast and were avoiding his shots "God dammit" Paul said in anger to himself, he crouched behind cover and saw one of the soldiers that were being aimed at and he pushed him out the way "Wait until they poke there heads out, they are using arrows and we have guns, also be careful of zeds this noise might draw some" the soldier nodded at him "Let's wipe these bastards out" Paul said in confidence.

When arrows started to fly at them the bikers ducked and Troy switched to his sidearm a Beretta, while Cutler had his Dan Wesson Model 744 VH out and Grant had his Taurus PT92AF. The bikers provided cover for the Militia and tried to take their shots at the unseen enemies in the forest nearby. Laura was near Paul, Mallory and the girl when the arrows were flying at them. Laura tried to run for cover but tripped and instead of getting up and risk getting shot by an arrow she began to crawl to safety. Sara noticed Laura crawling and began to run towards her but she had to duck due to the arrows flying at her. "I can't reach Laura!" yelled Sara to Ziggy and the others. She tried to shoot them but with the enemies being covered by the forest it was hard to tell wither her shots were hitting or now. "We're coming Laura just hang on!" said Sara. Laura was terrified on the ground and she was crying as she was trying to crawl towards safety.

When Mallory asked if Troy had molotovs and the biker nodded. "Yeah we do!" said Troy to Mallory. It was then he turned to Grant and Cutler who were laying down cover fire for the soldiers. "Grant get the molotovs and Cutler you know what to do!" ordered Troy to his men. Hearing Troy, Cutler looked back at the President of the Demon Dogs and the Commander of the Militia. "Been waiting to use this baby for a long time!" said Cutler to the two with a smirk.

He and Grant ran to their bikes and Cutler strapped on the flamethrower while Grant only had two molotovs. The two bikers got into position and once they saw an opening for and attack they took it. "Let's burn these motherfuckers!" yelled Cutler at the top of his lungs.

The bikers rained hellfire on their enemies and Laura didn't move as she felt the heat from behind her as she was terrified. Once the heat died down black smoke filled the air and Laura stood up as the arrows stopped. She could see Sara and her friends and smiled at them as Sara smiled back. She was glad to see that her friends were unharmed as they were glad to see that she was unharmed as well.

Laura took a few steps but then she felt a sharp pain enter her left leg and she looked down to see that a rusty, bloody hook was in her leg. She looked back up at Sara terrified and within a few seconds whoever was on the other end tug hard at the chain attached to the hook and Laura screamed as she was dragged off into the now black covered smoke.

"LAURA!" screamed Sara and she tried to rush after her but Troy stopped her. It seemed the fire attack didn't work as the enemy was firing more arrows then before. "Get off of me! I gotta go get Laura!" screamed Sara as she tried to free herself from Troy's grip. Laura screams could still be heard but now they were distant and soon enough no one could hear her. Laura was in the forest now being dragged through with the chain. Each pull felt as if her leg was gunna rip off and she could barely breath or see due to the black smoke her eyes watering up as she tried to see. Soon the pulling stopped and once her eyes began to focus stood a group in front of her. She looked around seeing a man with a mask on with the word "God" on it as he waved to her.

She was scared out of her mind she was starting to hyperventilate when she heard a voice from behind her. "Now, now my scared friend we mean you no harm." said the voice from behind her. Laura didn't turn around in fact she just closed her eyes and began to pray something she hadn't done in years. The man from behind her walked in front of her and he kneeled down in front of her. "P-Please God give me the strength-" prayed Laura as she was cutoff by the man who reached out to her and gently patted her on the head. Laura jumped and began to cry. She opened her eyes to see a man with white face paint on and scars on his face. His eyes were as big as saucers and he had green hair that was fading. "No reason to be scared my child...We want you and your people to join us in the worship of Dagon. So what do you say?" asked the man in a calm and soft tone to Laura who was crying hysterically. Not receiving an answer the man just nodded. "It's okay...The world does have non-believers and with those non-believers the only thing they are good for is art...Now let's go make you more beautiful." said the man as he laughed. Laura then screamed as she was dragged away.

Claudia covered Cutler as he ran up and put the treeline ablaze, staying behind him and firing a few rounds into what she thought was movement with her rarely used Taurus .44 Raging Bull revolver, or rather hand cannon. Having recently acquired her new piece of man-candy, she wasn't going to let some two-bit cultist kill the giant man. Once the treeline was on fire and smoke filled the air, Claudia guided Cutler back to safety behind one of the trucks. She hadn't kneeled down properly just yet or she could hear an eerie scream and could tell from the yelling that followed it was Laura. Claudia ducked underneath the truck just in time to see the young blonde being dragged into the smokey treeline. Claudia saw Sara wanted to go after her former nemesis turned best friend but thankfully was stopped by Troy.

"MAL! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?" Claudia yelled, but Mallory was still trying to grasp what had happened herself. Did they just seriously take one of theirs from right under their noses?

The arrows stopped and Mal could think of two reasons why; one, they were giving up and retreating or two...

"THEY'RE CHARGING!" Mallory shouted as she saw the first attacker come out of the burning treeline. She aimed at him and fired at him, hitting him several times but got confused and anxious to see the man wasn't going down. It wasn't until she had emptied half her clip into the attacker that he finally went down. Unfortunately for her, behind the first one was another and even though she was able to fire two rounds into the second one, it didn't keep him from swinging his club towards her. Mallory put her arms in front of her, but was only able to shield her mouth and nose. The top end of the club hit her on the left side of her forehead, and it sent her flying backwards, crashing into the side of the truck and landing on her back. Her ears were ringing and her sight was blurry but before she had a chance to realize she was still conscious and blood had begun getting into her left eye the attacker sat down on top of her and put his hands around her neck.

Before the attacker was able to get a proper squeeze in though Jake came in flying like Superman, grabbing the attacker by the neck and tearing him off Mallory in mid-air. Mallory tried getting up but it was to no avail. Gunshots were fired but she heard them as if they were muffled and distant, her sight was blurry and her left was red from the blood that had gotten into it. The left side of her face felt wet too.

"MAL!" Claudia yelled as she saw Mallory wounded on the ground. A bit further Jake was pummeling into Mallory's attacker in an attempt to beat him to death. An attacker came at Claudia and with her two blades at the ready, Claudia stabbed him right in the chest with one of her swords. When her attacker failed to go down and die however, Claudia was baffled and her attacker used to opportunity to grab Claudia by the throat and pinned her against the truck.

Claudia was getting the life choked out of her and even though she was able to get another few stabs into her attacker, the man still wouldn't let up. Then, all of a sudden she saw an axe getting planted into her attacker's head. A quick look to the right revealed it had been Cutler who had thrown it. Claudia fell to the ground and even though normally she'd give Cutler shit for throwing an axe so close to her own head, she was a bit too busy trying to catch her breath as Cutler came running over.

"Mal..." Claudia said to Cutler with a painful throat, pointing at her friend lying on the ground wounded. "Grab... her!"

Before Cutler could do so however, an attacker stabbed him in the right shoulder. As if it had barely bothered him, Cutler turned around and grabbed his attacker by the throat, pinning him against the truck and started beating the man in the head until his big giant fist was molded into the attacker's face. Claudia leaned against the truck, trying to make her way to Mallory but got grabbed from behind by another attacker and got her head smashed into the side of the truck. Having seen this happen, Ziggy pointed her gun at Claudia's attacker and shot him straight through the head from a few meters further. Ziggy saw Claudia go down and then saw Mallory there too.

"Sara! Brody! Thomas!" Ziggy called. "Mallory and Claudia are down! We have to get to them!"

Ziggy started moving towards their two leaders, and shot two other attackers in the head going toward Mallory and Claudia before her clip was empty. There was a third one though, and Ziggy knew she wouldn't have time to reload her handgun. Instead, she took her Tanto dagger from her belt and jumped at the woman, smacking the cultist into the ground and going started stabbing away until the woman's face had turned into a bloody mess. By now Brody and Thomas had reached Mallory, and Cutler had reached Claudia.

"Babe!" Cutler shouted as he took Claudia in his arms. "Say something!"

Claudia was hurting but not unconscious. "Radio..." she said. "Call... call... CASEVAC! Mallory..."

Claudia reached to her side, toward Mallory. Thomas and Brody were sitting by their Commander, assessing her wounds.

"She's in bad shape!" Thomas said. "Sara, do something!"

Sara had been a medic during the battle so Thomas figured their friend could help Mallory. By now the attackers were retreating and Ziggy had gotten off the woman she had stabbed to death, and used her sniper rifle to shoot at the fleeing cultists. Together with other Mariners she was able to finish off the fleeing attackers, leaving none to reach for the safety of the treeline. She immediately ran over to Mallory and her friends once the last one had gone down.

"Scheisse, nicht gut!" Ziggy said as she saw both Mallory and Claudia badly injured. "We have to call for help, now!"

Ziggy went inside one of the trucks and grabbed the radio, opening comms.

"Baseplate, baseplate!" Ziggy called. "This is Delta, come in Baseplate!"

"This is Baseplate." a voice answered. "Send traffic. Over."

"Code black! We've been attacked! Multiple casualties! Hera and Athena are down! We're in need of urgent CASEVAC!"

"Delta, confirm; Hera and Athena are down?"

"Confirmed! Hera and Athena are down! Other friendlies wounded as well!"

"Delta what's your position?"

Brody handed Ziggy a map, something she had forgotten to do herself. She quickly studied the map.

"Delta, send position!" the voice on the radio called once more.

"South of Pasture Way, on the beach near the Shore Acres lodge!" Ziggy answered. "Look for smoke!"

"Roger, south of Pasture Way, near Shore Acres Lodge. Hang tight, Delta, CASEVAC is on the way. Standby for more traffic! Over!"

Ziggy jumped out of the truck. "Stay on that radio!" she said to one of the Mariner soldiers. It was probably the first order she had given until now. She then ran back to where Claudia, Mallory and her friends were.

"Help's on the way!" Ziggy said. "They'll be here shortly! Hang in there!"

Ziggy wasn't too much of a medic but if Sara needed help she'd give it to them. Mallory was coming to a bit, but she had a hard time focusing and her head was throbbing. She still had blood in her eye and she felt nauseous. She couldn't get up and wondered if it was even a good idea to do so. The ringing in her ears was subsiding and she couldn't hear anymore gunshots. It seemed her soldiers had done their job.

"Help's on the way Commander!" Ziggy said as she kept her head above Mallory. Mallory nodded, well that was good to know. She just hoped she hadn't gotten too fucked up now, and that the help wouldn't be too long. She had trouble keeping her eyes open though.

Thomas then looked around. They needed someone to tell them what to do. He then realized Jake was gone too.

"Guys, where's Jake!?" Thomas asked. The rest looked around but couldn't find him.

"Did they... take him too?" Brody said. "Like they did Laura?"

Unbeknownst to them, Jake had been knocked unconscious right after he had gotten the guy off Mallory who was trying to choke her. While everything went down, the cultists had dragged him into the forest too. Whether or not they'd see him or Laura again remained anyone's guess. All they could do now was sit tight for help, and hope they were still alive somewhere.

Things had escalated to the extreme very quickly, the bikers began throwing molotovs which began to mask Paul's vision because he couldn't see his opponents he was able to catch glimpses of people that weren't theirs and shot them making sure to that them out. But then large men began to come out and started tanking blows Paul thought that they initially walkers but he could see that they were human "Jesus what are they feeding these assholes" Paul said angrily they attack Mallory knocking her to the ground.

Paul wanted to go and help them but he was having his own brute fast approaching, he pulled out his pistol to shoot him.

Paul could see the brute taking the shots "Ah fuck it" Paul said putting the pistol away and then Paul tried to punch him in his privates to see if that did anything and he barely reacted "Are you fucking serious?" Paul was going to pull his knife out to stab the opponent but was smacked out of the way and he hit a tree square on his sight causing him to hurt his arm "I don't go down that easy you bastard" Paul then used his good arm and pull his assault rifle and emptied his entire clip into the opponent.

However the brute continued walking "What but...what the fuck" Paul said in an inquisitive tone before the brute just about to reach Paul collapsed on the ground probably due to blood loss "Jesus I definitely need what they have would love to have that pain tolerance, argh...fuck" Paul said holding onto his arm. He slowly got up and then made his way towards the truck he left Megan in and began hearing chatter on the radio both Mallory and Claudia were down or at least that's what he presumed he had only got used to the callsigns for his new comrades "At least medevac is coming" Paul said to himself as he grabbed the radio "Baseplate, Spectre here add another wounded myself my arm is shot to shit" Paul said into the radio before he leaned back "Hey kiddo, still got the old place cant wait to show you" Paul said to an asleep Megan as he began to dose off.

We may be in the apocalypse but that doesn't mean that we forget human decency and delve into ungodly acts and depravity.

Troy held Sara back as he stopped her from chasing after Laura. He knew that it would be a suicide mission going after her at least at the current moment. "You son of a bitch!" screamed Sara at Troy as she began to hit him and slap him. Troy just sat there and took it he knew she was still hurting from having her heart broken so maybe he felt as if he deserved this.

Within moments the enemy began to charge at them. The two former lovers faced the enemies and began to try to gun them down. Troy blasted on in the stomach with his saw-off shotgun and even as the man had his guts all over the ground he continued to try and come at him as he was crawling. Troy stomped his head in but not before getting a club to his right leg. Troy dropped to the ground in pain but was saved by Sara who shot his would be attacker in the head. Once the battle was over Troy limped over to see that Mallory and Claudia were both on the ground being looked after and that Cutler had been stabbed. "Hey big man you good?" asked Troy to Cutler who just nodded and smirked. "This ain't shit...It's gunna take a lot more then a toothpick to keep me down." said Cutler to Troy.

When asked by Thomas to do what she could Sara went to work quickly as she analyzed Mallory's wound on her head. "Alright let's see what we have here." said Sara softly to herself. She could see Mal had a possible open wound on her head and she examined it closely. "Thomas I need your canteen." said Sara to Thomas who handed her his canteen. She then poured some on a rag and began to clean the area as best as she could. She could see that Mallory possibly might need stitches and so she wrapped the head wound with bandages until CASEVAC arrived.

Hearing the news of the attack Mark and Cassie went with the team. Mark lead a small group of soldiers to guard the CASEVAC team as they transported them to the vehicles. "Holy shit..." said Cassie as she saw the wounded. She then went straight to work she looked over Sara's work with Mallory and was impressed. "I did good right?" asked Sara to Cassie who nodded. "Hell yeah you did awesome. Now I want you to take care of the others alright? I need as much help as I can get." said Cassie to Sara who nodded. The bikers followed the others making sure they got back home safely. Cutler had to sit in the sidecar while Grant rode the big man's bike.

Once back home Troy was in medical waiting for any news on Mallory. Cutler was getting his wound stitched up at the moment and Grant walked over to Troy. "Hey boss...Do you want me to go tell the others?" asked Grant to Troy who nodded. "Yeah go do that and...Have a drink for the fallen." said Troy to Grant who nodded and left to go tell the other Demon Dogs. Troy sat in a chair as he waited for any news on Mallory. With Mallory and Claudia out of action and Jake MIA it made him wonder who would step up as temporary leader. Not him he could handle his boys but a whole town...Forget it he was terrible with reasonability. Soon enough Mark came up to him. "What the hell happened out there?!" asked Mark to Troy who just sat there as he looked lost. "Chaos...Absolute chaos. These assholes are different...I just hope we find Jake and Laura soon." said Troy to Mark who nodded and then let out a heavy sigh. "Should we call the Hell-Riders and Coalport on this?" asked Mark to Troy who stood up and ran his fingers through his hair as he shrugged. "It wouldn't hurt to have the numbers on our side. Let's send a messenger out to each of them have a meeting once Mallory feels like she can do it. For now let's warn them of these freaks." suggested Troy to Mark who nodded. "Alright I'll send word to Coalport and the Hell-Riders." said Mark to Troy. Once Mark left Troy sat back down as he continued to wait on any news on Mallory or Claudia.

It had taken some time, but now that everyone from Wisconsin had been sorted out school was back in session. There were more kids in class now, and because they had to repeat several courses especially for them Kinsley and the others found themselves either having more free periods, going home early, or like today do extra curricular stuff for camp credits. Today Kinsley and her friends found themselves fixing up an ambulance. The engine had been repaired and everything, but the inside needed a thorough cleaning and the rust needed to be removed. Because she didn't fancy cleaning, Kinsley had volunteered to remove rust and had been given a drill with a wire wheel mounted on it. There was something oddly relaxing and satisfying about it too.

After removing another spot of rust, Kinsley put the drill down and used a special spray to remove the specks of dust. After it dried, she used a spraycan of black paint to go over it. If air couldn't get to it, it wouldn't rust anymore or so she had been told. She then removed her spraying mask and gloves and went to a nearby table to have a drink of water. From inside the sanitary cell of the ambulance she could hear Gabby cursing.

"Come... on... you... stupid... crust... get... off!" Gabby cursed as she tried to remove a big crunchy spot from one of the cabinets. Kinsley couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yeah, human remain tend to be a bit crunchy and hard to remove!" Kinsley joked. "You really have to get in there!"
"WHAT!?"
"Oh, they didn't tell you? This thing was filled with rotters when they found it!"
"Are you kidding me!?"
"Yeah... kinda..."
"Oh fuck you Kins!"
"Hey come on, let's go take a break!"

As Gabby put her stuff away and got out of the back of the ambulance, Kinsley walked over to the front and tapped on the window to get Maria's attention.

"Hey Mar, smoke break, let's go!" Kinsley said. They had been able to bum a few cigarettes from a few militia guys before. Once all three were outside in the militia's motorpool Kinsley made sure her sister wasn't around so she wouldn't see them smoking before she lit up Gabby and Maria's cigarettes, and then her own.

A few moments later though, an alarm went off and shortly after militia soldiers came running out, as did nurse Instagram and her fiancée along with several other medics. Judging by the looks on their faces, it seemed serious. They left with the vehicles almost as quickly as they came out.

"Huh, what do you guys think is happening?" Kinsley asked, somewhat anxious. She had no idea yet that both Mallory and Claudia were hurt though, nor that they were out on a patrol.

"Think we should go find Kellen?" Gabby asked. "He's around here somewhere."

"Yeah, let's go. Coming Mar?"

Because of Maria's injury, Kinsley and Gabby were used to doing things at her pace. They then went off to see if someone knew what the hell was happening.

Mallory groaned as she was set upright by Thomas and Brody. She was regaining some of her senses and knew that she probably had a concussion. Sara Ramirez went to work on her head but what pained Mallory the most at this time was the blood in her left eye.

"Give me something to get the blood out of my eye..." Mallory said. "And someone make sure those bastards don't reanimate!"

Thomas grabbed Sara's canteen and a wetted a clean piece of cloth, handing it to Mallory so she could clean her eye out. The cool feeling felt good against her eye, and Mallory was able to clean it out herself. Her vision became less blurry, almost back to normal but now the mother of all headaches was setting in. By now Mallory had a chance to look around. Next to her was Claudia who for the first time in a long time got roughed up herself, and across from her was Paul, who appeared to have hurt his arm. His granddaughter appeared to be unconscious too.

"Is she okay?" Mallory asked Paul.

The other militia soldiers seemed to be regaining their composure as well, a few were still panting from the attack that had just happened. But they needed to get back to work immediately.

"Get a perimeter going!" Mallory ordered. She tried to get up but immediately realized that was a bad idea as more pain from her back set in and dizzyness overwhelmed her.

Ziggy had already begun stabbing the dead attackers in the head, making sure they wouldn't come back. "We've got a live one here!" one of the soldiers yelled, to which Ziggy immediately ran over to see. One of them was indeed still breathing although his dead would be imminent. Ziggy kneeled down and got her dagger at the ready.

"Back to the Deep... I shall... go... Dagon take me..." the man spoke. Ziggy realized these were the same people who attacked their train.

"One express ticket to hell, coming right up!" Ziggy said, then stabbed the man right in the eye, causing him to scream in a final moment of pain and agony before he was dead.

Ziggy got back up and spit on the man's body. "Mutterficker!" she cursed him. She then walked back and saw one of the other medics working on what had appeared to be a fellow European, although there was also a possibility the woman was French-Canadian. Brody was kneeling next to the medic, looking at the woman's wounds.

"They did a number on her." Brody said. "I'm pretty sure that's shark skin sown into her legs..."

Ziggy got the shivers looking at the wound. Brody was the son of a fisherman, he'd recognize shark skin if he saw it. Claudia as marine biologist could verify it but she wasn't exactly capable at this time.

When the CASEVAC arrived, Ziggy helped put the wounded in the ambulances and was among the last to leave. She, Brody and Thomas stayed behind longer to collect whatever evidence they could from the attackers' corpses before leaving themselves. Although it was apparent these were the same people that attacked the train, it seemed important to figure out what made these guys tick.

Marlene was pacing the clinic up and down, nervous as hell. Normally in medical emergencies she'd be all business but knowing her own kid was among the casualties changed that, and she wasn't a veteran nurse right now but a worried mother. Marlene looked up when she heard someone call her name and saw her niece Kinsley running up to her.

"Auntie!" Kinsley called. "What's going on?"

"There's been an attack." Marlene answered. "Mallory's hurt. Claudia too."

Kinsley was baffled. If there were two people she thought to be invincible it was her cousin and Claudia. Well, she couldn't just sit by and do nothing and as a trained medic she was exactly where she needed to be.

"I'll get some scrubs on!" Kinsley said to her aunt. "Gabby and Maria are on their way too!"

Kinsley then ran to the dressing room to find some scrubs. "Bless her heart." Marlene thought to herself. About twenty minutes later Marlene's worried mother's heart was put somewhat at ease when they brought Mallory in conscious. She immediately ran over and helped move her daughter to a bed. Mallory was still able to crawl on the bed herself, which was a good sign for Marlene. Mallory appeared to have a head wound, but someone had already done a good job on bandaging the wound.

"I'm fine mom!" Mallory tried to reassure her mother. "Might need a dose of the good stuff though..."

"I'll be the judge of that!" Marlene answered. "Now lie still!"

Marlene shined a light into Mallory's eyes making sure her pupils were even and there wasn't any brain damage going on. Once she was satisfied with that she went over several other things, and concluded that her daughter had a concussion. Luckily the wound had been open so the swelling was okay. All Mallory needed were stitches, a painkiller and lots of rest.

"You're concussed." Marlene said. "I'll stitch your wound and after that you're not getting out of this bed for a few days!"

"Let someone else do it!" Mallory objected. "Mom, you really need to look at the woman we brought in with us. They did something with her legs, they're infected to shit."

Mallory pointed at the stretcher the French speaking woman was on. "Go! Let one of the other medics patch me up!" she said to her mother. Then, Kinsley came up to see her cousin.

"Cousin Mal!" Kinsley said. "Are you okay!?"

"Hey kiddo!" Mallory answered. "I'm fine, don't worry. Go help mom with the woman! And mom, she was saying something in French."

Marlene was from New Orleans, and a Cajun at that. She spoke French as if it was her maternal language. In a way, it was.

"What did she say?" Marlene asked.

"I don't know." Mallory answered. "Something... 'buffay venwar', I don't know."

Marlene thought about what it could be. Sounded like 'buvez vin noir', which meant 'drinking black wine'. She reluctantly left Mallory and nodded at her niece Kinsley to follow her. She went over to the stretcher where the woman was and assessed her wounds.

It was something Marlene had never seen before. There are appeared to be foreign pieces sown into the woman's legs... something fish like. The medic on Mallory's team had already covered them in Betadine, but her legs were still badly infected. Marlene uncovered the woman and she felt hot to the touch, even through rubber gloves. There had been three cuts underneath each breast, almost symetrically, as if it were meant to be gills or something. Marlene and Kinsley then rolled the woman on her side. On her back appeared to what have been lashes. Marlene realized this woman must've been tortured and gone through unimagineable pain.

"Let's get her to the OR." Marlene said. "Cassandra! I need your help with this one!"

Marlene knew she needed another actual nurse to help her out with this one. Kinsley went along and helped Marlene put the woman on the operating table.

"Kinsley, get her on the monitor and get an IV in her!" Marlene ordered her niece. "Saline solution zero-point-nine! After that add Paracetamol and Amoxiclav to it! Cassandra, over here!"

Kinsley was a bit nervous. Putting an IV into someone wasn't something new to her, but adding medication she had only done under strict supervision of either her aunt or Cassandra. Getting someone monitored was easy though. After she hooked the woman up she looked for a vein which wasn't easy, but was able to find one in the woman's lower right arm. She put the saline solution up and let it drip, then went looking for the medication her aunt had ordered to give the woman. Kinsley didn't double-check, but quadruple check to make sure she had the right ones before adding them to the IV.

"That okay auntie?" Kinsley asked. Marlene checked before letting the medication drip.

"Good job Kinsley!" Marlene answered. "Now go see who else needs help while nurse Cassandra and I get to work here!"

Kinsley left the OR, then Marlene scrubbed up and put on sterile clothing. She then assessed what had to be done.

"Okay so I think it's best we don't put her under." Marlene said to Cassandra after looking at the woman's vitals. "Let's use local anaesthesia only. We need to remove the foreign matter and drain the puss, then clean it as best we can. We have to keep the wounds open, they're infected too much to stitch up. You work on her left leg, I'll get to work on the right one."

Marlene took a deep breath in and out. It wasn't easy to find a place to start. She used lidocain to numb the woman's leg up, then got to work from top to bottom. She stitches in the woman's legs had been amateuristically done, and it definitely wasn't surgical wire. Once Marlene was content she had removed all foreign matter from the woman's legs, she used a large syringe to drain the puss from the woman's wound, which was no laughing matter. After that Marlene really had to dig into the open wounds, rinsing them out with a saline and betadine mixture to make sure they were properly cleaned. Once she was content, she did the same thing the field medic had done and covered the woman's legs in Betadine before bandaging them up. Marlene was now done on her end.

"Done on my end." Marlene said to Cassie. "Need help on yours?"

Meanwhile, in the infirmary itself, Kinsley had been helping Paul Spectre. His arm had been hurt, but it seemed mostly superficial so she had cleaned out his wounds and wrapped them up in bandages.

"All done mister Spectre." Kinsley said to Paul. Gabby brought him a cup and a few painkillers in tablet form, waiting for him to take it.

"OW! Watch it ya donkey!" a familiar voice cursed. Kinsley looked in the direction it came from and was happy to see Claudia was doing well too. She couldn't help but chuckle a bit.

Kinsley had also recognized Megan. She was about her age and Kinsley remembered hanging out with her during the summers she spent in Bar Harbor. They knew eachother since they were kids and practically spent all summers together. It was good to see her again. Megan seemed alright, and Kinsley sat on the bed next to her.

"Hey Megs." Kinsley greeted her old friend. "Long time no see. How are you holding up?"

Kinsley held her arms out for a hug. She hoped Megan hadn't been too traumatized with what she went through. In any case, Kinsley would do her best to try and rekindle her old friendship with Megan.
