Ava Taylor
Raiders
It had happened so suddenly, Ava Taylor had no idea what was going on. One minute she had been walking the ruined streets on New York City, trying her best to make heads or tails of where she was. Even though she had grown up in the city, seeing everything in shambles she didn't have any clue what to do. Then, hearing the roars of ATVs coming closer Ava knew exactly who it was..Raiders. Ava quickly started looking for a place to hide..of course there weer numerous places..but none that the Raiders wouldn't easily be able to follow her with. So she did the next best thing..run. She didn't know how long she had run..but she could see that she was near Hudson Bay, so she figured it had to have been awhile. No use..she couldn't figure out why the Raiders had followed her..maybe they thought she could lead them to one of the clans..tough luck. No chance of that. Ava was more of a..freelancer you could say. She didn't stay with one Clan very long, she went around helping different clans.
Ava tried to catch her breath, but just as she was starting to regain it the Raiders grabbed her. She tried to scream,knowing someone would have to have heard her, but they covered her mouth. "Try it again..and we'll shoot you right here,right now." The mans voice was deep..throaty even. Ava stayed still,the fright evident in her eyes. They had stopped the ATV a few miles away and the pulled Ava off the ATV. Ava knew exactly what they had planned..she had heard stories of what they did to the women, but the Raiders never got the chance. There were two or three gunshots, and both the Raiders fell..but Four more Raiders came out of hiding, one of them quickly grabbing Ava, while the others went to investigate.
There was a rapid period of gun fire and then a man approached them from behind. His gun barrel touched the Raiders neck. "Let her go." He said,his voice threatening. The Raider wasn't a very brave one..he was young too, 19..maybe 18 at the least. He cowered and let go of Ava..though he did try a stunt of his own. The man seemed to see it coming though, and knocked the Raiders gun out of his hand, and shot at him. He missed by only inches and the Raider ran off. Ava turned around to finally look at the man who had rescued her. He was older, she could tell that, but not by much. "Are you ok?" He asked, seeing the frightened look still in her eyes. Ava blinked a moment,seeming not to register what he had said until a few minutes later. "Oh..yeah..I'm ok.." She nodded, getting herself back together. " They didn't get a chance to do anything.." Her voice trailed again as she looked at his upper arm, he was bleeding..not by much..but he was bleeding. "You're hit."
The man just nodded. "Yes, my clan isn't to far away...come on..I'll bring you back, you seem like you need a rest." Ava just nodded,managing to look away from the wound, back to him. "You can call me Brian...and you're.." Brian seemed to recognize who Ava was as he took a better look. "Ava? I've heard of you..you have no real clan." Ava seemed a little off guard at what he had said..how he knew who she was already. Then again..of course word would get around of a drifter..since there really weren't many of them left. They were either killed or had stayed in a clan after awhile. Ava nodded. "A drifter..yes." Her voice was soft but crystal clear, it usually was unless she was yelling at someone. Brian nodded, looking at her one last time,before motioning for her to stay close as he led her back to camp.
