| Trial and Error chap2 Posted by: Uks Silvercast at 01-12-2014 22:42 PM, Last Modified 01-12-2014 22:42 PM |
Uks awoke sometime around 10:30 judging by the position of the sun.
Sighing as he woke Uks just layed there having slept better than he had in a long time. Looking to the door he wondered if there was a mob of zombies or not though unsure he slowly began to stand packing his sleeping bag into his backpack. Zipping the pack up he hoisted it up onto his back grabbing both duffle bags in his left paw as he grabbed hold of the axe he swung it slowly grinning as if felt like it was apart of him.
Looking out the window Uks saw a zombie walking past the denzda, its slow walking pace a sure sign that all was relativly calm. Making his way to the door Uks slowly began undoing the locks opening it silently as he looked up and down the hallway his eyes scanning for movement as his paw gripped the axe firmly his ears alert listening as he steped out and began his short trip to the car he was hoping the keys he found the night before went to. Stepping onto the stairs he made his way down to the main floor.
Looking about He droped the duffel bags as he walked around the store noticing now as light poured in through the window that the building he took refuge in for the night was a small convenient store there where no refridgerators in here but loads of shelfs still full of merchendise. Moving from one isle to th next Uks began raiding the shop carfully grabbing any and all food that was still edible and definately all protein bars there where. Loading up his duffel bags he smiled happily now having food and possibly wheels for travel Uks made his way out of the shop axe in one hand duffel bags in the other he made his way slowly down the steet tward the car.
Moving to the door he opened it and sighed sitting down in the drivers seat putting the key into the ignition and turning it. The ignition clicked and the fuel pump hummed to life he tossed his backpack into the passenger seat. Uks smiled almost glowing as he steped out the car pulling the keys free and moving back to the trunk opening it gasping out as sitting there was 4 large ammo boxes a metal case with berret .50 cal inscribed on it, 2 shot guns and an AR-15 laying there. Nearly jumping for joy Uks placed his duffel bags ontop of the guns and closed the trunk grabbing the axe he decided to explore the other shops around him that he hadn't managed to get to last night.
Stepping into an old hardware store he grabbed a tool box and began filling it making his way through the store. Grabbing a large whetstone he sighed having got most of what he needed from here he stepped out and began walking to the denzda. about 80 feet from the vehichle a shot was heard some distance away but close enough that it roused the zombies into movement as they began pouring from every which way. There where only about 20 of them and they where cutting him off from the car. Gripping the axe Uks walked faster as the first zombie came into reach Uks droped the tool box and grabed the axe placing both paws on the handle pulling the axe to the side he swung hard the head of the weapon slipping through the zombies midsection like soft clay.
Readying himself for another of the rott monsters he stood there for a second his heart pounding rapidly the axe felt like it was alive in his paws almost buzzing as he lifted it over his head the small swarm reaching him finaly he stomped on the recently migetized zombies skull and lifted the axe quickly as he spun around bringing the axe down cleaving one zombies head in two kicking it away he swung the axe like a wild berserker it was nearly pulling him with reckless abandon as it tore through the mob of monsters. From a side point of view, Uks looked like he was enjoying himself but his mind was reeling he was scared and pretty close to being over taken.
Droping to one knee uks swung the axe in a large sweeping circle cleaving one set of legs from of its body before bringing it back up to remove an arm then back down at a sharp angle through its neck and right shoulder. As Uks hacked away at the zombies it was plainly obvious the axe longed for something like this. Uks was swinging faster with each new threat that presented itself. Finaly Uks stood there panting heavily his boots stained in old rotten corpse paste as he steped out from within the pile of zombies freshly laid out around him staring at the axe Uks sighed and walked over to his tool box now heading back into the hardware store for a good haul of towels and oil. He needed to keep this weapon in pristene condition and he knew it.
Running back to the car Uks tossed the towels whetstones and oil into the back seat the axe into the passenger seat then jumped into the drivers seat and slammed the door. Placeing the keys in the ignition Uks turned them into the start position as the engine started to crank up and fire over it ran smoothly was pretty quiet and the windows where all tinted so no one could see inside. driving off rather quickly uks smiled speeding along the highway looking at the guages he sighed. the car had half a tank of gas and was low on oil but he could fix that soon going by the billboard on the side of the road there was a gas station about 10 Miles away. flooring the gas pedal the denzda shot down the highway easily passing 130mph.
Zombies shot by on the side of the road as Uks flew on the car running nearly perfect as black carbonated smoke flew out of the exuast clearing them out as the rpms passed 7k. the peppy old vehicle screaming out as though it was happy to be on the road again, before the loud screech of tires locking up as uks smashed the break pedal to the floor going from 160 to 30 as he took the exit he needed to get to the gas station. The Station wasnt far from the off ramp though far enough for uks to enjoy his drive alittle longer the car was running alittle warm but seemed no worse for ware at the time being. Pulling into the station uks grinned " thank god for some places going green. " his eyes looking over to some old solar panals that where still in pretty good shape.
Looking about Uks couldnt help but wonder why things went the way they did, Although he didnt really care. There was no point in dwelling on the past. Slowly making his way to the door of the station he sighed it looked ransacked like everywhere else. Moving around behind the counter the register was wide open money gone " like it was useful for more then kindling anymore". sighing he looked at the buttons on the register looking for the pump activation switch before smiling as he came across a small toggle switch labled Fuel pump. Flipping the switch the lights dimmed momenterally. Uks jumped and darted for the door as his ears folded back a loud whinning sound was emitted as a belt driven elictric motor began its job.
Rushing to the pump he lifted the handle, opened the fuel flap and stuffed the nozzel into the tank opening pulling the lever fuel pumping slowly but steadily into the denzda he looked around and began grabing gas cans pulling them over to the vehicle he walked back into the store to see what might be salvageable as he let the vehicle fuel up his ears listening for any sound nearby encase he needed to make a hastey retreat. grabing a knife he founsunder the counter her stood and looked about making sure he was relatively safe before noticing a group of zombies stumbling tward the back area where the whinning sound eminated his heart began beatting rapidly as he slowly snuck out around the counter his eyes watching the small horde as he made his way tothe car his paw gripping the handle firmly waitingfor the faint click of a full tank his ears swaying this way and that "click" he riped the nozzel from thecar and began filling the cans at his feet while the zombies continued to try and figure out why the little white box was screaming they looked around it and nawed the corners trying to devour the cheap metal case the dark congealed blood dripping from thier muzzles coating the walls and roof as they snarled and growled at each other trying to get thier own taste.
having filled three cans he replaced the nozzle and began putting the cans into the 'trunk' of the car his paw gripping the axe as he slowly made his way into the station and flipped the pump switch back off the sudden silence causing his skin to crawl. Making his way from the station he held the axe up ready to strike his eyes watching the horde before noticing what he thought was a rock drop into the group of zombies before it exploded jolted and scared he turned around to run to the car when he ran right into the butt of a firearm out cold he dremt.
_______________Entry #2_____________________________________
It has been close to 2 weeks now since my first entry. ... blacksmithing is as fun as it is time consuming my strength is slowly growing enough that i can return to writing within my book.
Finnaly got to work in the forge for once in a matter of 6 hours i finished my hammer and tongs to which Trendon was surpisingly impressed although a hammer wouldnt seem to be a hard item to make you must temper the metal and make it as strong as possible with out making it so brittle that it shatters as though it where glass hitting the floor on the first strike . luckily im a quick study otherwise i may have had an issue with this occupation. Trendon said it took him alittle over 3 months to finish his hammer when his master was training him though at the time he was far less interested then i seeming to find this funny he laughed.
After studying the hammer and concluding that the hammer i made was remarkably well crafted for a welp whom only just started and stated i should be proud. When i finished my tongs not 4 hours later he told me to take a break wash up and prepare to go on a trip to gather some materials he seemed alittle argivated with me and sent me on a 3 day journy through the woods to gather Ore from the quarry, wood from the birch trees on the edge of the forest and stop at one of our neighboring towns to gather supplys such as oils, leathers, cloth and some salt from the merchents there.
He worked me like a slave for the most part but i knew it had a purpose. When i returned the look on his face was worth the pain in my legs and arms he was holding my hammer and tongs in his hands covered in a black cloth. When i asked him what was going on he replyed that he took my tools to Grand master Vokaun{his master} in Vaitorim {the main city}. Vokaun said he had never seen such craftsmenship in such a young inexperinced pupil.... needless to say i was exstatic untill he said i was to transfer my apreticeship to the main city and train under master Vokaun. I did not wish to leave my home town but in order to continue my training i had to follow along. It is nearly time to begin my journey.

Waking slowly head pounding where he was struck in the passenger seat of his car as it cruised down the highway he realized he was tied up. looking to the driver his curiosity peaked he could make out no details of the person carting him off to goodness knows where but his heart was pounding as he remaind quiet and just watched and waited. waking yet again having passed out on the trip he realised the vehicle was parked the figure in the driver seat was laying back sleeping as the sun crested the horizon slowly spreading light into the confines of the car.
Letting his eyes travel over the stranger he was pretty well shocked to discover a woman had more or less kidnapped him and stolen his car! struggling abit and movinghis tail up to work on loosening the knot at least alittle he hit his head on the window causing him to groan and growl abit. The female sturred and turned over watching him as he grunted and pulled on his restraints and slowly reached out and smacked his chest not overly hard but hard enough get his attention." when i tie a knot it tends to stay tied dude" her voice shocked him it was southern soft warm and very soothing.
Uks being the perverse smart ass he was mearly replyed " the only knot that ties is mine " his tail having worked the knot remarkably well he pulled his paws free the female jumping back against the drivers door thinking he was going to attack her. rubbing his paws togather sighing in relief " though i must admit yours was a snug fit!" quickly snatching the keys from the ignition he hurtled himself from the car stretching on the ground as he lay there.
As uks was laying on the ground the female slowly began getting out and creeping around the car staring at uks gun ready as he turned on his side and stared at her finnaly in the light he blinked the woman was an otter slowly looking her over he smiled shewas a soft tan color wore tight shorts and a tank top and what looked like a divers belt and a solid black choker collar and asked " why didnt you leave me after knocking me out? wouldnt it have been faster to just ditch and go?"
Stopping at the back of the Vehicle she sighed and leaned against the trunk " Well the way i saw it if you wouldnt have shown up id be dead ive been on the roof of that gas station for over a week then you showed up and i wanted to ask you for a ride but you grabbed your axe and i got scared so i shot a few rounds into the zombies and you startedto rush around and began packing so i jumped down ran over to the car while you where pumping the gas and hid till you started putting stuff away so i did what i needed to" uks sighed then smiled before saying "well i wont hurt you and you are free to travel with me if you like But you knock me out like that again you better be ready for a fight when i wake up. If you are stupid enough to stay around..."
Standing slowly Uks began dusting himself off before stretching out his tail curling as he groaned and shook. Making his way to the car he sat on the hood as the female otter moved around to the front to watch him. Her eyes tailing over him slowly, before thrusting her hand out to him " My name is Nikita Saruee " she announced smiling warmly. Snapping out of his own world he looked at her then her hand then back to her again before slowly reaching up and gripping her hand with his squeezing it lightly as he smiled back " Uks Silvercast, Pleasure to meet you Nikita. " shaking her hand lightly he pulled his paw back and stood looking at her " Ok now that that is out of the way lets talk about what you brought to the table. seeing as how i have my car food axe and other provisions what are you planning to add to help?" he asked his eyeswatching her as she shuffled alittle and coughed nervously " umm... I have the M14 you had the pleasure of kissing yesterday, about 3 clips worth of ammo, 5 years worth of military sharp shooter and survival training but thats about it..." Watching her Uks tilted his head and smiled " so you are good with guns. "
Standing up he made his way to the back of the car " dont suppose you're Hungry are you?" no sooned had he asked did Nikitas stomach growl causing Uks to bust out laughing " ill take that as a yes...." pulling his bag from the car rummaging through it he tossed her an MRE and a bottle of water looking around seeing no trace of zombies " eat up its nearly noon and im in no hurry to leave right now. we leave in the morning though so be ready."
