HAKUIN awoke the next morning 2 what sounded like footsteps on the ground above him. At first he smiled excitedly. must be another person looking for a refuge from the terrible flesh eaters. He rushed over and started to open the entrance to his home. " over here boss!" He heard a voice an angry voice, yelling to someone , above him. " looks like someone's been digging around over here! Might be our lucky day" he listened carefully to the voices.. " I called dibs on killing this one if we find someone here!" Another angry voice interrupted the previous one... " that's what you say every time bone! You've killed the last 5 people we found! Why don't you let one of our other team members get a little practice!?" It became clear to Hakuin that whoever was above him was not friendly. In fact it sounded as though it was a group of people arguing about who would be allowed to kill him if they found him. Years ago his father had told him stories of Raiders who would travel through the Wasteland and kill and steal anyone and anything they found. He was not Interested in losing his life to some scumbag Raider when he had survived zombies so successfully the last couple days. Just then He saw light coming through the entrance to his home. They were digging their way in.He frantically looked around and grabbed his torch off the wall. He hid himself against the wall.. just to the left of the entrance to his hole... Clutching the torch tightly prepared to beat off the intruder or die trying. Just as he saw the shovel head digging in closer and closer... one more square and they would be inside his humble little hole in the ground. He raised the torch above his head ready to make the first swing a good one. Suddenly the digging stopped. He didn't dare move or make a breath. " bone! Someone's coming! We gotta get the hell out of here! Looks like the vigilantes who were protecting the last house we raided caught up with us!" He heard a sense Of panic in the previously angry and scary voices of the Raiders above him. he heard the footsteps rapidly distancing themselves from what he thought was going to be his demise. Much to his relief they were leaving... Seemingly being chased buy some unknown Heroes. Poking his head out into the world above him he looked North. He saw a group of people clad in Armour and wielding swords of some glimmering material running rapidly into the distance kicking up dust. Whether these were the would-be Intruders or the unknown Heroes who had saved him from such. He didn't know but he breathed a sigh of relief understanding that he was safe again for now. He decided perhaps he should follow their Trail North and get some answers. So he closed up the entrance to his home And headed north. Thank you for reading chapter 2!
