The Robocalypse

[KaneQuicktail]

"Hopefully not at all. I wonder where the rest of the group is, they should be back by now." He shoved the map back in his pocket and fingered the trigger on his shotgun. He scanned around for any signs of movement, this forest was too dense to be sure of anything. Sure it offered protection, but at the cost of visibility to themselves also.

"They need to get back, I think we've camped here long enough..."

[Colioli4]

He kept moving when they got to the forest, kept dragging the girl - his hostage,  he suddenly realised - with him.
They made good time, heading away from the campfire, which was already a speck in the distance.

Once or twice he looked at her, to see how she was doing. He didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, just a scared girl with teary eyes.

He used his axe to cut through the at points dense undergrowth. With a little bit of luck, they would be out of the group's reach before long.

After a while of walking, Sam could feel the loss of blood start taking effect. She felt weaker and her knees buckled every so often.


She realized she would have to stop the bleeding before it got worse or else something might become permanent.


"Uhh..." She realized how weak she sounded, so she attempted to wipe any tears away from her eyes and cleared her throat "We need to stop soon, we're getting out of the safe zone and into area that's patrolled by robots, if you value your life you should stop" She hoped she didn't sound as worried as she felt.

[Colioli4]

Jacen nodded thoughtfully. "True. We'll make for the border, and then follow it to the higher ground over there" he says, pointing in the direction of the hills."

He noticed she was falling behind every now and then. "Come on, get moving! We need to be away from here before it becomes dawn." He prepares to give her another pull, but finally notices her wound.

"Dammit..." he mutters under his breath.

He halts abruptly. "What happened to your arm? How long have you been walking around with that?"

Without waiting for her reply: "We've got to bandage that..."

[Ritenger]

"I uhh..." Sam though of an excuse quickly "I had a cut from a while ago and i think i reopened it on a tree or something..." She muttered.

Sam was to tired and weak to argue so she raised her wounded arm up to the man and while he was bandaging she asked "Sooo... what's you name then?"

[Colioli4]

Jacen looks up at her face, and ignores her question again. He has been able to make something resembling a bandage from a piece of clothing he had on him for that very reason, and has started with cleaning the wound using a little bit of precious water from her canteen.

He returns his gaze to the cut. “It’s pretty nasty. I don’t know HOW you got it, but it’s not looking good… Might even get infected.” He shrugs. “I don’t have the medical supplies on me to disinfect it, so let’s just hope for you that it won’t.”

[Ritenger]

Sam winced when the water made contact with her wound, now that it was out in the open she realized how bad it was. She hoped that someone, anyone had found her blood trail and were heading over here now.


But then a peculiar thought came to mind, "What if they don't save me?" Sam thought to herself "What if they didn't find the blood and i'm on my own..."


She realized the only way out of this was if she dealt with this unnamed assailant herself.


But the only question was how?

[Colioli4]

He bound the cut meticulously, and once he was sure that the knot he had tied in the cloth wouldn’t loosen, he stood.

“Come on, get up. We’ve got a long way ahead of us.”, he said, as he grabbed his axe and swung the schoolbag over his shoulder.

[Ritenger]

Sam attempted to get up off the ground but her knees buckled as she tried to get up.


As she fell down and idea popped into her head, she just needed the strength to do it.


As Sam was on the ground she gestured her hand out towards the man "Could I have some help?" she asked.

[Colioli4]

He turned around as he heard her question.

"You can't get up on your own?" he said, narrowing his eyes as he moved closer.

'Damn', he thought, 'she might be hurt more than I thought...'

He threw the schoolbag on the ground again, annoyed by yet another hold-up, and kneeled down next to her. He placed the fire axe next to him and attempted to help her get up.

[Ritenger]

As he leaned down to help her up, she summoned all of her strength hopped up and became horizontal to the ground and pushed as hard as she could off of the tree she was leaning up against, tackling the man to the ground and hoping to knock the wind out of him.


As he collided with the ground, with Sam on top of him she pushed off of him and grabbed the axe off of the ground and attempted to wield it.


Unfortunately the fire axe was heavier than she expected, and in her weakened state she fell over backwards, onto her school bag.

"Ehhh your right dex I'll go help look" taero says as he heads of bloodstained knife in hand

The thought of the robots made him shutter as he stumbles on Harold tracking blood

[Colioli4]

He hadn't expected the girl to make such a harsh move. Hell, he hadn't expected any trouble from her at all.

Jacen's vision swam from where his head had hit the earth. Muttering a curse, he scrambled to get up, almost went down again, and recovered enough of his bearings and track the girl's movements, one hand nursing his bruised ribs.

He drew the switchblade from his pocket (... was there blood on it? No time to think about it...) and jumped on top of the fallen girl, trying to calm her and regain his dominance over the situation  by attempting to put the smooth blade against her throat. Obedience through fear, flashed through his shaken mind.

[KaneQuicktail]

Dex was getting nervous, not his usual paranoid nervous either. Just for safe measure he tried to load another round into the shotgun. Full. He kept two extra rounds between his fingers on the pump.

"I guess we're breaking camp then. C'mon Axle, let's go and find the others. Wait up Taero!"

It'd be better to leave the boar and try to find another source of food later, this was a forest after all. Dex stamped out the fire and hastily covered it with dirt. Then, he caught up to Taero.

"I hope they're all alright."

[Charlie]

"I hope they're ok... Really hope we don't meet any robots..." He says looking around. He knows that he is useless against robots, He's here to protect his new friends, new family, from bandits and psychos, not to mention do some heavy lifting. He massages his hands.
