Enclave 189-260

After some more traveling thinking they are far away from Stalker. They find an abandoned Library where they can hunker down for the night. They search through the library to find some books that will tell them what happened to this world they are now traveling. They find many books but most do not help and Fade reads a book that is large and with small words that Deuce can not make out. They decide that the library is safe and to get some sleep. They are awoken by sounds made by Stalker and his wolves. He tracked them all the way to the library and drug Pearl with him. The woman that helped Fade acquire the map. Then the smell of freaks filled the air and soon enough they are overrun by freaks. Deuce and Fade fight and make them drop like flies around them while stalker and his wolves tried their best fighting them off. All the freaks were killed and many of the wolves were killed. Stalker and a mortally wounded wolf remained after the fight. Tegan, Deuce, and Fade were all right, but Pearl was eaten by one of the freaks because she tried to run away making her an easy target. After watching Deuce and Fade fight Stalker wanted to join them on their quest because the Freaks more than likely over taken the town and there is nothing left there for him. They accept his company and he drags his comrade with him. After awhile of walking Stalker decides to put his friend to rest because he is just suffering and there is no way they can help him. They move on make their way to the woods. They travel day and night running into no sign of freak presence in the woods. They find a building to take cover in for awhile. They gather wood and hunt for animals for food. In the building there is more canned food they can eat. They stayed there for many days gathering their strength and Deuce trained Stalker in her ways of fighting. They went out on hunts together and Fade thought that Deuce liked stalker and not him anymore so he became distant with her. When snow started to fall and they camped in their building where it was comfortable. After awhile they decided they need to leave so they did and kept pushing north. They run into a small town overrun by freaks and sneak around them. They end up getting in a fight with some more freaks and Tegan and Deuce get injured in the fight from the lack of food and rest. Tegan's wound was very serious and needed attention immediately so they seared the wound shut. She passed out and they took care of her. They seared Deuce wound shut also and she stayed with Tegan. They kept the fire burning at all time and caught some food. Then when it seemed like all hope was lost they hear a mysterious voice and see and old man standing there with a rifle. He loads them onto his cart and begins to take them to his town of Salvation. They made it to civilization and on the way back in the cart Fade begins to tell Deuce his feelings for her but she passes out on the ride there and does not hear any of it.
