The Eleventh Plague 207-278

After knowing that everybody in Settler's Landing was going to fight the people of Fort Leonard, Stephen and Jenny decided to leave for awhile and try to decide what they wanted to do. Violet then came and found them in an old abandoned casino and told them that she wanted them to come back with her even if it was just for a little while. When they went back, Stephen and Jenny went into the woods back behind the house, hoping not to be seen by the others of Settler's Landing. As they did, they noticed that their were some people camped out back there that they had never seen before. At first, they thought they were people from Fort Leonard or ex-military. Thinking this, they went back to Marcus and Violet's and at dinner with them. At the dinner table Stephen decided to talk to them about it and tell them what him and Jenny saw. When Stephen told them about the people, they didn't seem surprised. Stephen then realized that the Henry's had hired them, and also that they weren't ex-military, they were slavers. The Henry's were going to sell all of the people of Fort Leonard to the slavers and possibly even the people of Settler's Landing. Stephen and Jenny then decided to take things into their own hands. They sneaked over to the slaver's camp and plotted what to do. Seeing some grenades hanging by a jeep, they both got an idea. While Jenny distracted them, Stephen was going to go for the grenades. As she did this, Stephen realized he had a very short time before the slavers would go after her and possibly kill her. He ran and grabbed the grenades as Jenny was running into the middle of the camp distracting most of the slavers. One slaver however, wasn't distracted and started chasing Stephen with his jeep. Stephen then recognized the slaver, it was the same one that had run him and his did out of the plane and had almost killed them. Although Stephen froze for a moment, he thought quickly and pulled a pin out a grenade and threw it in the camp, blowing up most of the slavers small camp. As Jenny and Stephen out maneuvered the slavers, they ran into Jackson. As they did, they kept running until they came to the rest of the people of Settler's Landing who were fighting off many slavers. Jenny, Jackson, and Stephen decided to help out and kill as many as they could. Stephen then went after the one he knew who was on the back of a jeep on a machine gun turret. He ran at him and speared him, recieving a blow to the stomach. Somehow, Stephen got on top of the slaver and started to choke him, but he wasn't going to give up quickly. He then wrapped his hands around Stephen's neck and Stephen slowly drifted away. He awoke to the feeling of being dragged on his back. He didn't know who it was at first, but then realized it was Jackson. Jackson had killed the slaver and saved Stephen. They then realized that all of the people of Settler's Landing had killed all of the slavers, but were fighting fires that had started. Stephen, Jackson, and Jenny started running to help, but were then stopped by people of Fort Leonard who were armed and ready to kill. Stephen however talked to them and stalled them until people from Settler's Landing came to back them up. When they arrived, led by Marcus, they all agreed to put their weapons down. They then talked it out and told them exactly what had happened. After they talked it out, the people of Fort Leonard decided to help the people of Settler's Landing put out the fires. Stephen, Jackson, and Jenny turned towards Settler's Landing and began walking, hoping that their would be a place left for them to live.
