[Chapter Nine: Darkbourne]

The date was now May 17, 2016—we had spent several years after returning from the ordeal with Bowman investigating the few leads that we had concerning the attack that we had faced on our homestead from the invaders that had posed as survivors; the mysterious Darkbourne figure still remained just a name in the backs of all of our minds and we had been unsuccessful in learning anything concerning the identity behind the strange name. Several things had changed around the homestead and Chloe had given birth to our first child in the summer of 2013—it was a little girl that we had named Scarlet and she already had light blonde hair and was very healthy which was a blessing to see; my other children were growing steadily and Remy, Mace and Ember were now teenagers. Darc Aiden and Xavier were also growing and Jennifer and Sheila had been teaching them the basics of life and the truth on what was going on in the world around them as of late. The undead had been somewhat quiet as of late since the night when the enemy infiltrators had attacked us and tried to steal the vaccine along with our food and weapons stock and there had only been a few of them around the gate as of late—I knew that the question on everyone’s mind was who this Darkbourne person was and why he was causing trouble for us at this point.

“Those marauder forces are sure to come and attack us again soon—we need to be ready in case the walls don’t hold.” I stated late that same evening as we all sat around the picnic table in the front yard not far from the well house.

“I agree…luckily we were able to repair the wall from where that RPG round hit—we’ll be in trouble though if a dozer or one of the other large abominations attacks the walls.” Hugo stated in deep thought.

That was when we were suddenly alerted by gunfire from the tower on the northern section of our wall—I glanced over and seen Richard pointing his assault rifle at something shooting, he then glanced our way and started shouting and waving his arms wildly.

“What the hell…?” Jennifer asked as she, Sheila and Chloe came to my side quickly.

I led the way over to the ladder and Richard glanced down meeting our concerned expressions.

“I spotted a figure running through the trees—it wasn’t a dead-head or any other mutation; looked like they were dressed like those marauders.” Richard stated as he climbed down and stood before us.

“Did you kill them?” Billy asked curiously.

“I don’t think I hit them—they were using the trees as cover, ducking in and out of them.” Richard answered as he turned to face Billy.

“Let’s go—sounds like an enemy spy, the last thing we need is more of those assholes snooping around here!” I shouted as I checked the ammo clip in my M16 and led the way to the front gate.
