Welcome to Haven 1/2

Cody went over to Ash. "Here, we got what you needed." He handed him deferoxamine. "Thank you, now your friend will live another day." Ash gave a friendly smile before treating Dani.

Ted looked at Cody. "Annabelle's friend." He spoke, he was sitting on a table. He looked at the little one and smiled. "Yeah… friend." He spoke with a slight mumble.

Andrew ran over to Cody. "Hey, hey! Have you seen Alice and Amelia?" He spoke with a slight stutter, he was panicking. "When we were out on the run no. I didn't see them. Why?" He looked at Andrew with a concerned expression.

"They were supposed to be back 15 minutes ago, but they haven't returned…" Andrew looked down.

"Well then let's search for them." Cody patted Andrew's shoulder. Stalker looked at everyone. "This time I will assign pairs, we will be able to cover more ground."

He lowered his hands on a table. "Cody and Evelyn will be in pairs, I feel like you two get along well." Stalker looked at Jug and Zach. "Jug and Zach will be in pairs, then Andrew and I will be in a pair. I have set up a walkie talkie for each pair with one battery. It'll last a good while in case something happens. Any objections?" He scanned the room, there was silence.

Ava raised her hand. "I'm coming." She spoke. Andrew looked at her. "Stay with Ash and make sure Joseph, Rose and Dani are okay." He spoke and Ava sighed. "Alright, will do." She gave a slight smile before walking off.

Hayden opened the gates. "Did you guys find them yet?" He asked. "Yeah. We have found them. They're in a building, it looks well guarded on the inside. We do have someone that's a spy." One of them spoke, looking at Hayden.

"And who may that be?" Hayden scratched his face, leaning against an oil canister. "Shane is."

Ash looked at a guy. "Why are you standing there?" He looked at him. "The names Shane, what are they doing?" He asked, he had bronze eyes and green hair.

"They're searching for a missing child." He responded and Shane looked over. "I'll join them." He walked off with a smirk.

Stalker looked at Shane. "Who are you?" Stalker looked at him. "The names Shane, Jug let me in."

Stalker glanced at Jug. "What, he seems friendly enough." He looked away.

"What a bunch of freaks." Shane thought to himself, looking at Jug and Evelyn. They were both demis.

"Alright. Let's go!" Andrew ran out with Stalker following. "Mind if I join you guys?" Shane looked at Evelyn and Cody. "Sure." Evelyn stretched, punching Cody's shoulder while moving her eyebrows around. "We work great together!" She joked.

"What are your names?" He asked. "The name is Cody, this is Evelyn." He responded, looking at Shane. "Your name is Shane. Right?"

Shane nodded and looked around as they entered the forest.

Cody pulled out his dual blades, spotting a walker. He snuck over and swung. Slicing the walkers head in two.

Evelyn ran over and caught the body. "There's a horde over there." Evelyn sniffed the air. "Human blood is mixed with the blood of walkers." Cody looked around. "Looks like they had a fight, some walker bodies."

Shane pointed to the opening in the distance. "Maybe there." He spoke and Cody nodded.

They went over to the opening, there was a river. Walkers were eating numerous people but they weren't even recognizable due to the flesh being ripped off of their face. Bones were viewable. "Looks like it's Thanksgiving for them." Shane spoke in a nervous tone.

Evelyn scoffed. "You're kind of funny." She looked at Shane, seeing him pull out a pistol. "I changed my mind." Evelyn turned into a dog and tackled Cody to the ground. Shane missed, killing a walker. The gunshot attracted the horde. "Tsk." She turned back into a human and got up.

"Shit." Cody mumbled and got up. "Thanks." He gave her a smile. Evelyn glared at Shane. "Looks like he's with the people you've told me about. Hayden, right?" She spoke, her claws came out.

"I'll get Shane, you get the walkers." She spoke and Cody nodded, going back to back with her. Cody stabbed a walker while Evelyn charged at Shane.

Jug looked at Zach. "I'm not good at converting you know?" Jug looked at Zach. "We've been silent the whole entire time and it's driving me nuts." They were on the road. "Well no shit, I don't want to attract walkers." Zach spoke.

"Can we at least have a conversation in the meantime?" Jug looked around. "Because I mean—" Zach shushed him. "I just want to start a con-"

Zach interrupted him again by shushing even louder. "I hear something…" he looked around, a few seconds later a dart went into Jug's neck.

Jug looked at Zach. "Huh?" Jug fell down, Zach pulled out his gun but a dart also got him.

His vision and hearing decreased and before Zach could pass out he heard a truck, was it his friends. No, it was Hayden most definitely.

Stalker and Andrew heard the truck and began to sprint back, Andrew spotted the truck and shot at it. They saw Jug and Zach in the backseat.

"You fuckers!" Stalker yelled, the truck disappeared. They couldn't see them anymore.

Ava sat next to Rose. "How are you feeling?" Rose looked at Ava. "Gross, I feel like throwing up." She responded. "Why's that?"

Rose looked around. "I'm just worried about them, what if Hayden finds them. Being in pairs won't keep you safe…"

John looked at Alice, she was staring at Amelia. Her blood covered the seat, and Daniel's clothes plus his hands.

John noticed her looking at Amelia. "She will be okay." He smiled. Axel looked at Alice. "She will survive, we have Tabi with us!"

Yuki looked at Daniel. "You okay sweetie?" She asked and Daniel nodded. "Sweetie?" Alice tilted her head. "It's what couples call each other." Yuki responded, looking off in the distance.

Soon enough they saw a pair of gates. "Cliff open the gates!" Yuki honked the horn, the gates opened.

Axel smiled. "Welcome to Haven!"
