Chapter 6 - The clutches of fear

Soon after that the raid leader comes out of the tent with other EVO's and shouts "GATHER AROUND". A roar that made sound waves echo.

Everyone comes close and they stand Infront of his tent. "So this is what is going to happen." "We will make small raid parties of 10 with 8 EVO and 2 porters each."

"There are 30 EVO and 10 porters, so I'll give him points for being able to count" says Mice.

"Porters." "You will be left behind if you slow down your team." says the Raid leader, giving a stern warning to the porters. Some look down in fear.

"For the first team we will have Mia (aka Scarlet Fox), Johnny, Luke..." "For porters it will be Mice and Arthur".

Some of the porters, release a big sigh of relief as they were not chosen. "Strap up and be ready in 10" shouts Mia. 

Arthur walks back to his tent to get ready and gets stopped by his team leader and she just gives him a tap on the shoulder. They all get ready and set out.

The scout is in the team but has gone ahead and as they can traverse the rough terrain. "STOP" says the team leader and she ducks down with everyone following suit.

A pack of Wolven eating a Badger bear is seen and as they watch on. Arthur hears noise behind him but doesn't turn around and instead says "Shhh". After that came out of his mouth, he noticed it. He didn't want to look behind him because he knew what it was. A small whimper of "Help" he hears and turns around.

A Badger bear with his claw holding up Mice's body. He sees the blood coming out of his mouth like drool and in a state of fear starts to move back. The other EVO's look at him and then the 

ROAR is heard. 

"WHAT THE HELL" shouts one of the EVO's. Mia hears and sees this too and before she can give an order with her arm pointing towards the bear. The Wolven pounces and jumps above her charging towards the Badger bear. Another follows but this one attacks her, biting her shoulder. She thinks quickly and grabs a dagger on her lower back and stabs it in the eye first and repeated stabs until the Wolven lets go.

As the Wolven attack the Badger bear, it lets go of mice and his body drops right infront of Arthur. Arthur in horror and shaking franticly just stares at him. Flashes of old life appear and he hears the same words as before. "Worthless scav." "You stink" says a women and spits at him. "You scavs are always a disgusting sight" he says as he continuously beats him.

Mice reaches his arm out and tries his hardest to call for help but blood continues to come out. Their eyes are locked onto one another and it's like the world around doesn't exist. Tears start to come down his face and Arthur sees his himself as mice.

"I'm sorry" he says as he pleads for them to stop hurting him. The blood coming out of his mouth and the pain he continues to feel. He lies there half dead, thinking "When will this life end?" "What did I do wrong?". 

"WATCH OUT" shouts an EVO as a Wolven pounces at Arthur.
