Enclave 1-88

After the second holocaust took place everyone has been forced underground to live in the train tunnels of the city. At a name giving ceremony Girl15 is given the name Deuce and six cuts on her arm to represent that her job is a hunter to protect the settlement. Her friend Thimble talks to her about her naming ceremony. The next day she reports to her job to be paired up with a partner. She is put with a mysterious man named Fade. He came to the Enclave from living out in the tunnels and topside by himself. They say its impossible to live out their alone but fade did it. They let him in the community and gave him a name. Many people do not talk to him though because of his history and being a outsider. Deuce's leader Silk put her with him because she knows that she is good. She wants to test how good she really is. They go on their first patrol in the tunnels looking for meat and other supplies. Fade shows her around the tunnels, its very dark so she memorizes the paths they take. He shows her how to empty the traps. Their other job is to also kill any freaks that may be around. Freaks are former people who have changed into these mindless eating machines. They eat anything that is dead or dying or go after anything that is not another freak. Their long claws and diseased flesh exposed skin make them very freighting. On their patrol they encounter their first set of freaks. Fade sneaks up on the first one and slit its throat and its dark diseased blood spilled all over the floor. One charges at Deuce and she grabs her daggers that were hand made by Thimble for her. She slices one right in the jugular and then hits in the chest and it falls to the ground. She then stomps on its head breaking its face and neck killing it. In the process of the fight she got cut on the side, her first battle wound. They return from a good days hunt with a good amount of meat and the blood of freaks on their swords. Their next patrol they go on they hear the banging of something against metal like a distress call. They move towards the noise and find a metal crate that smelled horrible. They look inside and a child was in there trying to stay away from the freaks. He tells Deuce and Fade that he is from another settlement called Nassasu that they trade with alot. He says that he needs to talk to the Enclaves elders. Fade grabs him and runs him back to the settlement fighting off all of the freaks that followed them. They take him to the elders and the child says that his settlement has been overrun by freaks and seeks help. Fade and Deuce are chosen to go investigate the town and see what has happened to it. They gather their supplies for the three day run down there and get plenty of rest and food. They head out and run for hours avoiding all of the freaks they can and find a old bathroom to sleep in. One stayed on guard while the other one slept and Deuce could not help but start having funny feelings for Fade. They are then found by freaks and forced to keep moving. They run the next day and super tired they found a abandoned train car that they could close the doors and lock them so they both slept in it and got a good nights sleep. They are again overrun by freaks and fought them all off and made it to the settlement. Freaks infested the place fat from eating everybody who once lived there. They head back with the news and get stopped by these groups of people with big eyes but were friendly and were willing to trade with their settlement for fish. They had many old relics and books from the past. They return to the settlement with the bad news but bring them the good news of a new civilization they can trade with though.
