"Well this is gonna be rough to get out of since he seem pretty dame sure about only those two option.So...what can I do?"-Jhon
Whilst jhon was pondering what he should do his camp was also worried since there future would all hang on him.
"Do you think jhon will be Ok?"-?
"Ofcource jhon knows what he's doing"-?
"Just have some faith in him"-?
As for Luther he didn't care if jhon came peacefully or not since the ending would be there end if they didn't choose to join.
"Luther are you sure we should bring them in what happens if they try to kill you again or take our stuff and leave"-Zack
"Yea I'm sure since we need people to improve overall and we are still human and they didn't do anything like mass murder and with the situation I would blame them much since they were practically ripped from normal everyday life an thrown into hell"-Luther
"That's true but they could still cause threats and will we even have enough space or supplies?"Alex
"Ofcource we have enough space and food if they come peacefully we will own pretty much the whole forest.As for supplies we can send them to do different task and mission to prove there loyalty if they join"-Luther
Whilst they were talking jhon thought of a solution
"I've made my decision we will be willing to join under you but we have to see what your situation is like and we will have a trial period of 1 week to test the waters"-Jhon
With this John would benefit in both sides since if they did join they would have less stress to deal with.Also more protection and if they didn't like it they would known there base and situation and could plan for the future.
"It's not that bad of a deal"-Alex
"Although it does cause some risks still"-Zack
"Alright I will agree to your deal however you will have to provide your own food and water since.We wouldn't want you eating our food then running off but you will still have protection and a place to sleep"-Luther
John quickly had a smile grown on his face and quickly replied
"Ok thanks but it will take us about 3 days to get ready and head towards your camp..also How will we find it?"-Jhon
"Not to worry I'll be leaving one of my trusted subordinates with you named Ryan who will also have 6 soldiers with him to guard the camp and people on there journey"-Luther
Ryan than came from behind Luther and shook hands with Jhon whilst also breaking his restraints.
"Luther will we be leaving now?"Zack
"Yep let go back to camp and Ryan get your group of 6 and head with honJ back to their camp"-Luther
"Yes commander"-Ryan
After the two agreed with each others requested they went there separate ways waiting to see what would behold them at the camp guarded by zombies.
(John's camp site)
"Hey open the gate johns back!"-?
One of the guards quickly spotted their leader with a group of soldiers following him from behind.
"Why are they with Jhon?"-?
"Maybe they were here just to send him back"-?
Quickly the guards opened the gate and welcomed in their leader who was surprisingly well and didn't seem beaten up.
"Are you ok jhon?"-?
"Yea I'm fine anyways gather everyone I need to tell them what I discussed with their leader"-Jhon
20 mintues later more than 60 survivors where sat in front of jhon but were more focused.On Ryan and his soldiers than anything looking deep into the purple glowing eyes.
"Alright now that everybody's here it's time to explain what happened so me and their leader have agreed to join their camp-"-Jhon
"Wait what why!"-?
"we don't want to go near those things!"-?
"they nearly could of killed us!"-?
"let me finish!"-Jhon shouted whilst calming the crowd
"I have agreed that we join their camp for 1 week and if we like the situation we will join them however if we don't we can leave and won't have any trouble"-Jhon
"Why would they want to take us in?"-?
"How do we know they won't kill us when we get there"-?
"Well it isn't like we have a choice since we caused this"-Jhon
The crowd instantly grew silent and wonder what jhon was talking about how could it possibly be there own fault.
"We are lucky enough that they were willing to let us decide with their strength they could of easily killed us when they had the chance but they didn't"-Jhon
"w..wait who was it?"-?
"Yea how's it our fault?"-?
"tell us please"-?
"Well what happened was their leader was sitting peacefully near the stream not far from here.When he was shot at and barely manged to survive with his guards being killed in the process.Once I asked him again to see if he was sure it wasn't just some random survivor he assured me that at the rate the arrows were being fired it was more than 2 people"-Jhon
The crowd was shocked to hear that not only did someone they know attack the other camps leader.They killed his guards even though he wasn't harming anyone but after this revelation they all began to wonder who it was.
"How do we know he's telling the truth?"-?
"He's right how do we know he's not lying"-?
"That's quite simple he had already scouted the forest and found we were the only other group around also one of his subordinates.Found signs of survivors leading towards our camp also I really don't think he would send such a big force to take us down it would be over kill aswell if they wanted to be allied with us they would of sent someone"-Jhon
The survivors once again was wondering who it might of been since quite alot of them would hunt for animals or go fishing and foraging.But before they could ask anymore questions Ryan mover forward and stared at the group.
"I would like to ask that the ones responsible come forward now or we will have to begin the search.In our own ways and practices please do come forward and make it easier for yourself and the group"-Ryan
The crowd of survivors started to worry thinking they may be wrongly chosen and did not know what was in store for them.
"Just confess!"-?
"Yes don't but they blame on others"-?
"Please just admit it you might not be punished that bad"-?
After a few mintues of silence 3 survivors 1 being a guy in his mid 40s and two young survivors one in his early 30s and one who had become 22.There names were Greg,Josh and Reece and none of the survivors were surprised and only sighed.This group of miscreants were constantly stealing food and arguing with Jhon and fighting the guards.
Whilst annoying others while spouting about their high position in society beacuse of their friends and family who where all millitary or government and even celebrities.However most just ignored them knowing things were different now and none of the positions people use to hold mattered anymore.
As the 3 walked forward what surprised the survivors was that they had slight grins on their face with their heads held high.
"Yes and what if we did do you know who I am?"-Greg
"Right right uncle we should be kind and just take half of everything they have that should be enough ha ha"-Josh
"My dad's friends a millitary commander so you better treat me with some respect"-Reece
Hearing there loud and proud attitudes a Ryan just glared at them the chuckled
"Ha ha ha you know what my leader told me to do if I found you.He said to only break one of your legs and arms but now I will have to sadly disobey that order and give the proper punishment to vermin like you!"-Ryan
Ryan eyes the glowed brightly as roots from some of the dead and living trees shot out and ripped through the ground .And ripped through the 3 men's legs like razor blades bringing them to their knees while screaming in agony.
Ryan's hand then streshed out and a dark purple liquid similar to blood formed around his arm.Creating a long and sharp blade across his entire arm and was as sharp as steel with the light reflecting of it giving it a beautiful violet and purple look.With the tip almost reaching the ground only off by a few centimetres.
"Wait wait you don't know what your about to do!"-Reece
"I'll make sure you died in the most brutal way possible if you don't stop and beg for mercy"-Greg
"You'll rot in hell for this!"-Josh
Ryan than walked towards the three and placed the tip of the blade next to the neck of Josh.He then gave one last disgusted look and then and swift as the wind sliced the neck of the three men.Who nealt next to each other instantly with blood flooding down there neck's whilst struggling to hold on to the last sliver of life left.
Ryan then retracted the blade from his arm and the last bit of blood dyed the ground whilst shock and fear was plastered onto everyone face.Including Jhon the only was who didn't blink was the soldiers and Ryan who quickly spoke
"Now that's out of the way please continue and I'm sorry for the interruption please proceed"-Ryan
"Th..thanks"-Jhon
