The Crucible

After having one last chat with Kurtfield
you found your pistol was hidden somewhere in the town, once making that discovery you return from Jamestown back to the small house that was found inside the woods, as hard as it is you try to sleep while the stress begins to build up more and more, it keeps you from getting any good shut-eye, it doesn't help that you're sleeping on some makeshift bed either, in fact, you had gotten used to sleeping in a normal bed in a normal home, but that had been taken away when you became a fugitive in Jamestown

Taylor: Can't get sleep?

Y/N: No... not much

Taylor: Sunrise is an hour away, anyhow

Y/N: How do you know?

Taylor: My mother all she had left me behind with was her watch... It still surprising works after this long too

Y/N: Don't you have to reset that thing everyday? Or every so often

Taylor: Yeah I get up early just in preparation for that, but today it's different

Y/N: Why?

Taylor: Because I'm not just getting up for that... I'm getting up for something else

Y/N: It seems all of Jamestown despises me

Taylor: No, not all of them

You gaze into her eyes as the sun seems to rise

Y/N: I guess, you were off on it being an hour huh?

Taylor: Must have been a time change

Y/N: Then that would put us in March... Snow is still present, not much anymore though, but every once in a Blue Moon at least... So it must be January or February

Taylor: So what you're saying I'm off?

Y/N: Spot on the target

Taylor: Yeah

You both begin to move inside each other intimate space, before closing your eyes until that thought was broken by someone

Warren: Guys, guys...

Taylor: Warren!

Y/N: Bro, what is it?

Warren: We were scouting ahead for Jonah and anyone else but thankfully, we're in the clear

Y/N: Is that it?

Warren: No actually, we're in the clear from them but me and Dylan spotted another group of armed people through the forest

Y/N: What?

Taylor: What are you saying?

Warren: Another group, I have no idea who they were but they were odd for sure... They didn't seem to notice us at all and we're going in another direction from Jamestown but it was still creepy nonetheless

Y/N: Well wherever they're were going, it can't be good

Taylor: Unless they're just survivors out there to

Y/N: Did they wear the dead?

Warren: Uhh... No, they weren't biters

Y/N: If they were normal people that's somewhat of a relief for now

Taylor: If we're going to rebuild Jamestown and make a place for the people why not invite them to stay, Jonah sent most away

Y/N: That's for sure risky, they may not be headed for Jamestown but that doesn't mean they're good news either... We should keep our distance until we've got the numbers to confront them
