Kari eyed him carefully before answering.
"I do. I also heard you talking to Alpha over your little modified 3DS. Also judging from the way you're acting... Ray and I aren't the only mutants in this group." Kari replied quietly, ignoring the sudden zing of panic that flashed through Markus.
"How on earth are you going to explain that to you friend, Markus?"

Ray Ray sat down on his couch and carved on a stick. He was getting very, very bored. He would shut and lock down the house soon, guests or not.

Markus, quicker than ever thought possible stood up and took out his sword. Holding the sword in his right hand he flicked the bottom lever with his left hand. The pointed the sword at Kari, nearly making contact with her neck. "Know one is to know anything!" he spoke in a deeper voice then usual. "I have nothing against mutants, I just don't plan on being one." Clenching his left fist and waving the sword in a circular motion in front of Kari he continues, "Rayboy is not to know anything about me, or this sword. I have no intentions of becoming any of your enemies... But if you dare push me."
Markus calmed down and put his sword away. He flicked the lever back and both watched it collapse. Markus breathed heavily land began to shake, like the greatest adrenaline rush he never felt such energy in him before. It was unlike him to act in such a way. "Forgive me, I... I don't know what came over me."
Markus, threw himself in the creek, afraid of what was happening to him. "Tomorrow I best getting to the city. Must be some scientist researching mutations, with any luck they can help get rid of mine. Ray Ray must be getting worried right now, should head back now. Must be bored without me."

Kari's eyes went huge at the sight if the blade. She was going to die. He was going to kill her. Terror clogged her throat, making it impossible for her to speak. She managed to nod. Barely. She swallowed and nodded again when Markus said something about going back. She couldn't hear just what he said - the blood rushing through her head caused her ears to ring. But of Markus was going to hurt Ray Ray... well Ray Ray could handle himself, she knew that.
Silently she lead him back to the trailer and just as silently waited by the door, not wanting to go in, looking like a scared deer.
"Tell Ray Ray I say goodnight... I'll be in the tree over there." Kari mumbled, pointing at a near-by oak.

Ray Ray rose. He'd came outside, mostly to take a piss off the front porch, but being as he had company, decided to piss in the woods. He saw Markus's little sword. Fancy Fancy. He ghosted through the woods, coming to the back door of the trailer seconds before they got back. Coming down the hall way, he grabbed a survival sleeping bag, used for sleeping in trees, while rock climbing, deep cold, whatever. The nights got a little colder because of the explosion. Placing it on the porch, he spoke.
"Kari, you get cold use that. It's good for however cold it gets. Katie keeps the place pretty free of hazardous trees and animals, but if one comes at you and you don't know if you can handle it, there's a whistle in the pocket of the sleeping bag. Blow it. It'll wake me and Katie up and we'll come help."
Turning to Markus, he spoke a little softer, a little deadlier than he had spoken to him at any time before.
"I want to tell you something. This is my place. I know what goes on, what the people who are on it got, I know everything about this place. I can walk these woods in chains and not make a noise. That's not mutie powers, that's shit I've always known. So, remember. I can find you anywhere within twenty miles, be behind you and you never know it. If you or Kari do something to each other, or something else on my place, it falls on me as master of the house to take care of it. I have no problem taking care of it."
Pointing down the hallway, he pointed to his spare room. "All it's got's a futon and a table. Should be sufficient for you. Bathroom has a door in that room, use the water if either of you want, cistern's full."
Scratching his neck, he walked up the hallway with Katie. Turning at his door, he told them all goodnight.
"See y'all in the morning."

Markus felt a violent nature in him after Ray Ray spoke. For his own amusement Markus spoke just as softly and deadlier back at Ray Ray, “Thanks for everything, and good night to you too.” He walked over to the futon and lied down on it. Markus didn’t fall asleep, he just laid there. Pondering where he should stand in this whole mess.

Kari nodded her thank to Ray. As she shrugged on her coat, her tail snagged the bedroll and she moved towards the trees... though she didn't miss Ray Ray's hissed words or Markus's retort. Was it just her or did she sense an underlying competition? Shaking her head free of such stupid ideas she climbed up into the tree as Katie settled beneath her. Sliding into the sleeping bag Kari leaned backwards and was comfortable. She looked up and saw the stars, listening to Ray Ray's snores and Katie's grumble. Markus, she decided, was either a quiet sleeper or was wide awake. Tilting her head back to rest it against the tree Kari tried to get some shut-eye, knowing tomorrow would be just as chaotic.

Ray Ray snored with his eyes open. He wasn't stupid. Markus was awake. He knew it. Rising, he walked out the back of the house. He hoped Markus would assume he had just quit snoring. Walking under a tree, he leaned against it an stared at the moon, drinking the beautiful sight in.

Markus finally stopped hearing Ray Ray snore. There were two possibilities, either he's finally in a deep sleep or he still doesn't trust him. Markus didn't care at this point. He took his chances and got up. Carefully walking out just in case Ray Ray was sleeping Markus left the trailer and picked up his 3DS where he dropped it last.
He walked over to Kari's tree.He looked up and saw her asleep. In a tone of voice he hoped Kari would hear and wouldn't gain Ray Ray's attention. "Hey Kari, wake up. Something I have to tell you about Alpha." He picked up a stick and banged it on the tree in hopes the noise will get her attention if needed. "It's important and cannot wait."

Kari had never been a heavy sleeper, so when Markus spoke she woke right up. She glanced down, not moving her head.
"Hey Kari, wake up. Something I have to tell you about Alpha. It's important and cannot wait."
"I'm awake Markus..." Kari mumbled, tilting her head to look at him better.
"And I'll hear you if you whisper. Now whaddya want... I'm tired."

Ray Ray watched the moon rise. He had heard Markus come out of the house, he knew something was going on. He just didn't care. He had enough issues dealing with himself, not to have to worry about Markus and Kari. If they stepped over the clear cut boundaries he had set, then he would take care of it. Until then, it would be fine.

Markus’ heart was pounding. He was afraid of what he was about to reveal. “Look, I’m grateful for everything you’ve done for me.” Markus gave a deep breath, “and Rayboy’s help.”
Markus paused before he continued, what was really a ten second pause felt like an eternity went by. “When I first saw you, I was confused. Funny thing the world can be, first you think you have it all figured out then you move to a new chapter and everything changes. I was introduced to a whole new world today. But I feel like my introduction is over, and it’s time I move out. I don’t think it’s fair what’s going on. I’m going to ask Alpha for some help, maybe change his mind. Hopefully with his help I can make this world a better place for everyone.”

Kari's heart stopped before is started again with a rather painful thud. She ground her teeth for a second before allowing her head to thump back against the tree. She knew there was nothing she could do, even though she wanted to help.
"Very well, Markus. Would you like to leave tonight? I can lead you bu moon light, and will point you to the city when we get close enough... but your friend will not like me." She turned her head to eye Markus.
"If you ever need help, find me. I'll do what I can..." Kari mumbled before turning back up to look at the moon. She did not like getting woke up with bad or sad news.

Hearing a crackle of leaves, Ray Ray got up to investigate. Ghosting through the woods, he came to a tree that had grew slanted, and ran up it, grabbing a branch to balance himself. As he orientated himself with where the sounds were coming from, he started to hear them. The Moans.
Running back to the house, he started whistling for Katie. "FUCKIN' SHAMBLERS! GET TO THE HOUSE NOW!"
Coming through the front door, he went to the back closet. The gun closet. Looking through his choices quickly, he chose the AA-12. There couldn't be more then 5 Shamblers, he would have heard them sooner if there was. Grabbing the 50 round drum, he ran back outside. Slamming the drum into place, he pulled back, loading the first shell, released the drum and reloaded the first shell. 51 was always better than 50. Running back into the wooded area, he spotted his first Shambler. Opening up, he placed three 3' Magnum shells in the center of its forehead. Ray Ray watched as blood, brains, and chunks of skull landed across the forest floor. Splashes of red, smears of grey, chips of bloody white. When it came to Shamblers, he was a painter, the weapon he had his brush. Walking forward, he spotted two more, pumping shells into them as he walked, painting his world in fire and gore.
Hearing more moans, he turned. Another was behind him, dragging it's legs, crawling. This Shambler was very far gone, looking like it had gotten eaten on by one of its comrades. Ray Ray blasted three shells into it's midsection, effectively cutting it in half. Shouldering the AA, he drew his knife, jamming it into the creatures eye socket. Twisting the knife, he heard the skull crack and pop open, spilling the brain across the ground like a over-ripe fruit. Standing, Ray Ray heard Katie barking. There must have been more Shamblers by the house. Running, he chambered a ready round and had his gun at the ready. He'd kill every single one of the fuckin things.

Markus, hearing the gun shots turns towards the trailer to see what all the commotion was all about. He see's three zombies coming at his direction. Markus draws out his sword and gets into a battle stance. "Stay up on that tree, Kari, I won't let anything happen to you. You have my sword."
The first zombie attempts a swipe at Markus. He ducks to dodge and return impales the zombie in its chest and slices it out, attacks again beheading the zombie.
The second and third zombie began clawing at the tree while Markus was fighting the first. Markus swung over behead one the two remaining zombies. The was rattled and shook enough to off balance Kari from the tree, she fell from the tree and landed on her back.
Before the last zombie could reach Kari, Markus cut it at the waste. Markus scanned the area for any remaining zombies. He no longer hears Ray's gun firing and assumes he is on his way back.
Looking at Kari for one last time he says, "Look, I have to take my leave now, what ever you do don't tell Ray Ray I left. Tell him I got chased away by zombies i the opposite direction. Don't let him find me. Good bye, and I thank you for all you're done for me. I am our friendship does not end here."
Markus ran away as fast as possible before Ray could return.
