The Seed of Hope

Wolf in sheep's clothing

The next day
It turned out that Jacob was indeed hunting...late at night. Apparently he was free today and already had walker which was strange but I'd go along with it. I just finished doing my fake bruises with makeup but the best part was when I stepped in the room where walker already was, he looked shocked then realised it was only cosmetics and relaxed "you sure you wanna do this?" I got comfy in the other chair "I wouldn't of gave you that note if I didn't" I strapped one of my wrists down before Jacob did the other, he still had that look in his eye "Jacob...do you trust me?" He gave confirming nod "then let me do this, let me get you the wolf's den and whitetails" I watched him roll his eyes at my try at a poetic speech.

He glanced at me as the box lid went up and the song filled my ears as I faded out of consciousness. As I awoke in my new surroundings, I didn't hesitate to pick up the gun and shoot the two men before me then ran into the next room spraying bullets into every inch of the walls. There wasn't many in the next room so I sliced their necks with a throwing knife I had on me and took a few down. By now I'd gotten used to Jacob's commentary and tuned it out and focused on assassinating the rest of the people in my area. My guess is that walker would be dead by now but that's when I started to wake up...I hadn't finished?! What the hell?!

When I came to, I saw whitetails in the room checking the 'bodies', I let out a small whimper to get their attention "Is that a-""yup. You're gonna be okay kid, whitetails got ya now" I let them lift me out of the chair and remove me from the room "where's Newt?" Before I heard their answer, i blacked out from the lack of energy to keep myself conscious. I had a suspicion this would happen.

I woke up hazily on the sofa in an unknown location "you're newt's friend aren't you?" I nodded and shrugged at the same time "y'know, you saved them. If they'd stayed any longer, Jacob would have them" I lifted my shirt a little to see the stab scar "I had to make a choice, die surrounded by the people I love but knowing they had been taking and tortured, or die alone and know they're safe...someone brought me back in a way" he patted my shoulder and walked out. I placed a tracker under the desk and behind the fridge before anyone else came in, now they would get at least a decent idea of the area.

As I roamed the halls, I hid trackers everywhere and with every one, the location would get clearer for the rest of my family, they were counting on me. Eventually, I got to Eli's area "kid, do you remember where they took ya?" My eyes scanned the map until I picked a random location, the F.A.N.G centre "there... I was working for the summer when it happened" sorrow filled the depths of his eyes, was my acting that good?! "I didn't catch your name kid" my head was rushing to find answers "'Katelyn', my parents are out of town...I wouldn't of gone out otherwise" I mumbled the last part but he heard it.

While stood there, I slipped another tracking device underneath the table pretending to be adjusting my grip on the surface "this is all my fault" his eyes were fully on me "Walker heard my screams and had tried to get to me but there was just too many..." I crouched by the wall "where'd your parents go?" I shrugged "Idaho I think? They said they were visiting friends and would be gone a while" my eyes fell to the floor "you'll be a fine whitetail until then" I smiled at the man but as soon as he looked away, I checked my radio as I heard a blip, they'd got the signal! I stood and strolled out of the wolf's den without anyone seeing, it felt so good to be out of there. They were a little too positive for my liking.

I met a few followers half way "you got the location?" They nodded "Brother Jacob is making plans to liberate the wolf's den" I smiled and chuckled at the floor "get someone to lock the location, we don't know how long it is before they find the trackers" I watched as they drove off. I headed back to the wolf's den to continue playing my part as 'Katelyn'.
