I set out with the rest of the people I have gathered up. We begin to look around for the party that Hank was leading but we find no signs of any life around. We begin to make our way around several areas. No clues or any information to where they went. "They've just disappeared" I said as we had been out for 3 or 4 hours searching the areas. All we found was a small group of 3 zombies and a pack of dogs that had reverted back to their instinct and violent ways. "Good thing we're in cars and trucks or we would be eaten or attacked." I say as we keep driving. I begin to lose hope as it begins getting dark again for the millionth time this apocalypse time. "Lets sleep on it and check again in the morning" I say to Andrew as I stop the search party. We sleep and or eat depending on what we felt. Sadly day one did not bring us anything. I fall asleep peacefully.
---------------------------------------------------
Day 2 of The Search
I wake up as I realize people scrambling around. The people from the search party were all up. I get up and eat and find out what was happening, I realize it was because some people we didn't know had snuck into our camp and taken a person someone relatively new to the camp and left Hank and his party barely living in camp. The guys were scrambling around to find a first aid kit. I walk to my trunk and pull out a first aid kit and a sharp blade as well as good kindling for a blade to be heated if any amputations or searing any wounds were needed to happen. We had to sear a long cut on hanks arm that went to the bone as well as amputate one of his legs for it being mangled. I had a cane in the backseat of my car for some odd reason so I cut it to be long enough to help Hank stand. I secure the piece of cane to Hank's leg. I lay him in the back of the vehicle and close the door. We bandage up the other 3 who weren't as badly beaten as Hank and helped them into the truck. I tell the search party to go back as we make our way back to our neighborhood base. We make our way back to base decently quick and go inside and unpack the stuff. We begin the rest of the day as usual working our individual jobs and helping in our respective areas. I begin to help Hank to the infirmary where we could put on a prosthetic limb. -5 mins later- I walk in the infirmary with Hank, "Hey, we need a prosthetic leg for Hank." I say approaching a bed for Hank to lay on. "Put him under when you put it on for him. Then show him how to take it on and off after he wakes up." I see the man nod as I turn to Hank and smile "Everything is gonna be alright." I turn towards the door and leave heading towards the guard house to help patrol for a little. I see nothing bad around the neighborhood and head to the guardhouse to report in. I head home as I see it is getting dark. Slowly heading inside and upstairs to sleep.

Day 1 after Hank and his crew were brought back------------------
I get up to hearing rummaging. I look down to see a child rummaging through my bag in the bottom of my closet. "What do you need?" the kid looks up at me surprised "I was looking for a certain thing. A rope, I need one and I was looking in your stuff since I was moved in here last night and was told you had nearly everything." he says. I look at him sympathetically, "Here let me get the rope, may I ask what you need it for?" I ask i reach for the rope on top of the closet and hand it to him, "To build something" he says. "Ah, cool" I say "Got any parents? And what about guardians here?" He looks at me, "No; they said you'd understand and protect me" he says looking at me frowning. I look at him and nod, "Can I see what your building?" I ask he looks at me and shakes his head, "Its a surprise" I nod as I say, "lets go i need to do some things around the camp as well as go and see someone important, he also would enjoy meeting you." He gets up as he says, "what about breakfast?" I look at him and begin to walk downstairs. I make breakfast and eat with this kid. "What's your name kid?" I ask he looks at me "I'm Daniel and I'm also 8" I look at him remembering he lost his parents at such a young age. "I'm Yuki, im not sure how old I am right now if I had to guess im probably 19 or 20 now" He looks at me questionably "Why do you not know your own age?" he asks I look at him "I was 17 when this all started but my birthday was coming up and I also have went into a few coma like sleep schedules. each either days or months from when I went to sleep." I say finishing up my food. "Well lets go you gotta shower" He looks at me.and hops up heading to the bathroom for a shower. He takes 15 minutes and finishes up. I gave him a set of clean clothes on the outside of the door as well as a comb and some toothpaste and a toothbrush. He comes out after freshening up and I look at him. "Stay here ill go take my shower now too." I grab my stuff and take a shower I finish up and clean up everything. I go out after and help Daniel clean up the room that he slightly messed up with building something small but useful. He made a uni tool of a fork a spoon and a knife it was activated by a button. When you click it it would change what was out. He made this in about 25 minutes. When i had been showering and cleaning up the bathroom. "Lets go Daniel we have some work to do. It'll be in the garden first and then we have a scavenging trip in about an hour. We will go to the garden to pick some fruits we will pick a basket each, apples first then pears." He looks at me and gets up running towards the door opening it. Stopping in his tracks as Hank is standing at the door. "Just the person I wanted Daniel to meet" I say looking at Hank walking closer to the door. Hank looks at me and nods smiling in approval. "So you have this new kid, Daniel, with you. Please help train him right for the world, he needs to know everything" Hanks says looking at me now with a serious tone and facial expression. "Ill let him know anything and ill train him with spears to the best of my ability while also learning myself. Maybe Sabers as well." I say with a serious tone. "He will become the best fighter here." Daniel looks at me confused. "Yuki, you and Daniel can stay here during the scavenger group's time out. Use the day or 2 for training. Go to the schools gym at the edge of the neighborhood. I will have some people set up dummies for you two." Hank says looking at me and Daniel. I look back at him and nod now walking out of the door and closing it with Daniel beside me. "Well im off to the guard house house to let them set those up real quick" Hank says walking off "Lets go Daniel" I say now walking away from the house heading to the garden with Daniel.
-5 mins later at the garden and greenhouse-
"We will pick 1 basket each as i said at the house" I say to Daniel. Daniel Nods and grabs a basket, he begins to pick berries since i realized he can't reach the good apples and pears.
-30 mins later-
We finish picking the fruits and head out. We go quickly to the Gym.
-5 mins later-
We begin to practice using spears and sabers on the dummies. The dummies are made of cheap materials like ice and wood. We are in a cool area of the gym. The sabers and spears we use were normal ones. We just stab at and swing at the ice statues and wooden dummies, each time harder and harder to swing as our bodies get tired quick in this ice cold gym. Me and Daniel train in time intervals of 15 minutes with 5 minute breaks in between. We do basic weapon exercises like saber swings and spear plunges, along with pushups, and situps to strengthen our core to make it easier. Sore as we got we trained for hours and went back home. We eat and shower as i also make up a room right next to mine for Daniel to sleep in. I zombie proof it by making the door heavy to where only me and daniel can open it. I leave a spear inside his room as well as in the bathroom and many other places in the house. "Daniel i might make a big room later on for the both of us to make the house safer, might knock down the wall and make a super sized room that you can feel safer in." I say looking at daniel, him nodding. "Well lets sleep Daniel, if you need anything come here to me. If you hear scrambling and think its not me, stealthily come in here and get me up, if im the one up then just say some random excuse." Daniel nods again agreeing to my statement. We go to sleep pretty fast considering we are sore.
