Chapter ii 

THE GROUP 

In the next morning George Woke up early. The sky was still dark but he could tell that the sun was about to come up, so he got up from the place that he was sleeping, so he could stretch out before getting another fire started so they can get some food before they head out to the group that Lissandra was talking about. He turned around so he could get his axe, but instead he saw Lissandra laying down right by where he was sleeping, it made him think that they might have had it, last night. But he just grabbed his axe and went to go get some firewood so he could make the fire. "I slept okay last night but I wonder what me and her did last night, I hope we did nothing, cause if we did then I am f’ed." George said in his head,"I'm just going to leave a note of some kind letting her know that I went to grad some firewood." George Leaves a note from the charcoal that was left from the fire they had last night. "I WON'T BE GONE FOR LONG JUST WENT TO GET SOME FIREWOOD. BE BACK SOON." George wrote on the wall. "Damn, if she is telling me the truth about the group then I'll have to be careful because I think I might know what group she might be talking about.. I can't let her see me doing my martial arts with this axe, so I think that u might as well tell her the truth about me. As Georgestarts to head back to the gas station with the firewood he hears a noise far away from where he is, but he acts as if he knew nothing about the noise, but he can tell that he has been followed around since he got out of the hospital.

 "Lissandra I'm back, with some firewood..." George stopped and saw that she wasn't there."Looks like she bailed on me. Oh well."

 "George is that you?" said Lissandra like it took him years just to get the firewood. 

"Yeah it's me Lissandra you don't have to worry. And I am sorry that I left you here all alone in the morning."

 "It's okay, I read your note that you left."

 "Let me make a fire so we can get some food and then we can leave okay, the sun is barely out."

 "Okay, take your time hun." 

"Umm.... Are you okay, Lissandra?" 

"What, oh yeah sorry I was thinking about that time that you asked me out." 

"Umm.. Okay, but got too tell you that was like JUNIOR year of high school. And I can tell u that was like ten months ago, so you don't have to be sorry about saying no. Because a man that cries every time a girl says no to him isn't really a man. And what I am about to tell you, is the truth about me. I am a man of my word, and you know that, but I can't go around asking random girls that I think that are cute out randomly. No I ask only the ones that I, think that I know well, for an example. You, the only reason that I asked you out was because I felt that I really knew you, but I was wrong." George stopes to take a breath for a minute."I am telling you this because I care about you. B...but..."

 "But what, George,but what!" 

"But I simply think that I can't have you in my life yet, from the looks at it. And the food is ready if you want some."

 So Lissandra sat down next to him so she can get some food. But right as she sat down George got up to get more food for the trip so they can have some food. When George was halfway to the gas station he heard the random noise again but this time like if they thrown something at him, so dogged it and he grad it. And then he went straight forward to the gas station. When he went inside he got out of sight so Lissandra didn't have to see him,  then he checked his hand to see what was thrown at him. But when he was done checking it out it was already too late he caught a sleeping dart. He ran out so he could tell Lissandra to run. But she was already on the floor asleep, but she was acting. 

"Ay, I could really use a hand on this one he is a heavy one." 

"God dammit, Mark what are you doing we told you to stop playing with... George!? Ayy someone help me with him and get everything that look like an army or anything that looks like a military backpack,with any weapons. Lissandra you can, get up now." 

"I thought the thesame thing when he helped me escape from a shit tone of f’ing romers n runners., yesterday. "

"Well let's take him back to camp."

 As George was fighting the sleeping drug that was shot from someone in the group that was taking him back to their base camp. He knew a lot of ways to get off drugs because of his martial arts he knows what is happening on the outside of his head. So he starts to open his eyes slowly to see where they are at, and he saw that they were going through a small forest, and that they were dragging him on a hand make sled from wood he got up slowly from where he was laying down. He saw that his bag was right by him, he put it on quietly and quickly so they wouldn't notice anything specific. 

"Lets get out of here cuase I think that Lissandra put me in a f’king trap." George Thought to himself. 

 "Ay, do u think that this kid is the one that they had been looking for in the past few months?" one dude said.  

"I don't think so, he looks like he is a lot older than they say. But I think that this kid isn't him." said the other. 

 "They have been looking for me, what theactual f. But still lets get off this damn shit,f they don't know how to make a damn sled out of wood." George thought to himself again.

 "Yoo, is it me or did the damn sled get lighter." As soon as George heard that he knew that was the que to have a little fun and make a little act. So he jumped up in the air and kicked the two guys that were carrying him, and then he took back his axe, and got in piston to fight back if it was going to be necessary.”

BLAM...... JC, put that axe down now! I don't want to shoot you, bro come on come back to us, it's me, Fill." Fill said 

" Fill is dead to me I saw get shot after I did, right in the heart." George said with anger. 

"George son, put down the axe and come with me, back to the rest of the group." said Lissandra with a sweet tone in her voice. 

"Fine, but if any of you make a move later on, I'll kill you." George Said with a calm voice and without hesitation, playing along. George Puts his axe on his back like if the backpack had a strong magnetic force. Then he checks to see if he has everything that was with him when he left the gas station. George Was missing a lot of his weapons that he had on him when he left the hospital. He had a shit ton of knife in the knifepaches that he had on both sides of his thighs, then he had two smaller axes behind him and, his hidden blades on both of his forearms, and etc. 

"Where are the rest of my weapon that I had with me. What you do with them" George asked angrily to everyone. 

"We brought everything that was on you. But you can find what you need or even might fit you back at base." Fill said."Oh and I like that you went with the black assassin cloak it fits you." 

"I need to go back so I can get all of my weapons before they end up in the wrong hands." George said 

"I can't let you do that you might put the whole camp in danger." Fill said as he knocks out George. 

As George knocked out he come up with plans in his head to be ready for what happens when he gets there, because he really doesn't know what he is going to get himself into. So he went into a deep sleep of some kind. And when he goes there it would feel like if it was only a few minutes of his time but really it's like a few . Hours of his life that would mean a lot. But he went to a place in his mind that he could train with only two people that would help him out with everything that he would do wrong in a fight or as a person that would make others feel bad for. 

"George, you did good but it is time to go out in the real world now you don't want to be here yet, you still have a life to make right. But fight for what you think is right." said one of his masters 

"Yes, sensay, thank you for your help both of you I know I say this a lot but you guys are a lot of help, thank you and see you the next time I need the help." George said two both of his masters as they were fading away. 

"George, honey you're finally awake." Lissandra said as she gives him a huge "Don't scare me like that.I was worried about you." 

"How long. How long was I out this time." George said 

"About 6 hours. I don't want you to do that ever again okay." 

"okay.. Why are you like this?" 

"Like what?" 

"Like this like if.. Like if we were dating?" 

"You made me yours when you, saved my life." Lissandra looks at him and gives him a kiss. As George getsup to get his weapons, he puts them on and he goes outside to get some air. But when he opens the doors, the sun blinds him for a few seconds. Then he sees a ton of people working, talking, being a community. He goes back inside and takes a seat next to the door.

 "No this can't be happening. No." George Says quietly 

"George, honey is everything okay?" Lissandra says as she gets close to him "Honey, what is wrong? Is there something that is bothering you?"

 "No its nothing." 

"Are you sure?" 

"yeah, i'm sure. Is this the group that you were talking about?"

 " Yes, and I can't wait to introduce you to two good people that would like to see you." 

George Stopped to think about what she was saying. But he couldn't put his finger on it at all, but had an idea of what she might be talking about. But George just played along and just said okay. But he was trying to put one all of the puzzle pieces together to even see a ray of hope that it might be true that his parents are alive and that they came to this community. But all he could tell was that he is alone in the world, with or without Lissandra. But George can tell, that what was happening right now wasn't going to last at all.

 "Lissandra, honey." George Said

 "Yes sweety, what is it?" she asked 

"I have a feeling that this. You and me aren't going to last." 

"Well then, let's make the best of it as much as we can." George Looked at her in the eyes but he didn't say anything at all. Because he knew what he was going to say will hurt her. So he kept his, mouth shut about it. At that moment as he looked at hr he kissed her, but then he pushed himself back because he thought that it wasn't the right time. 

"Why did you hold back?" Lissandra asked wondering what happened 

"I thought that it was the right time to do so, but it was wrong." George said with no hesitation,"I like you, I really do, but I think that I might be pushing it a little to fare the line." He Started to get her worry about him."I know a lot of shit that you people don't even realize, and I know a lot of people that would want you as their own, and that would really make them made so.." Lissandra cuts him off

 "I don't givea f about what the others might think of us, I know that my heart was tell me the truth. But I would take it as if it as a joke. And that would hurt a lot. But now that I'm yours there is nothing that would pull us apart. And that is a fact." she told him as if it was a promise. But little did she know that his heart was set to someone else. And George knew that she was here with a group of friends that he knew. But they wouldn't recognize him at all because of what happened to him. He might as well think that, they think that he is dead. But that isn't going to be long until they find out that he is still living.
