(Your P.O.V) 

It didn't take that long to make it to the town that the weird guy was talking about. As we came up to it, we went through a gate.

"This kinda looks like my old junkyard..." was the first thing Cory said. 

The guy glared at him, "It doesn't matter what it used to be." 

Before tension could get any higher I cut in, "How about giving us a tour?" 

"At least someone's interested  in my lovely town, follow me," he lead us through the gate. I smiled awkwardly at Cory, he did the same. 

"This is Scott, usually he's the one to take care of the weapons," I started at him nervously, gripping my bag, "But I took them already." he finished. 

"(Y/N), why are we here?" I hear Alpha ask me. I looked over to her, "Huh?"

"You know why we're here. It's best to have a goal to follow. Right now we'll have to go by their goal," I tried my best to explain to her, again. 

"Still though, we could always get low level jobs..." She said. 

"Let's just stick with them, okay?" I look over to our new group as they continue their tour. "Come on, we should keep up with them."

One of the first places the weird guy showed us was this store, which was full of mushroom stew. I look around at all the weird objects and see something shiny. I go to investigate it but soon was called back over to the group. 

I took a quick look back at the spot and could make out the gold and red colors in the corner. I shrugged and made my way back to the guy giving us a tour. 

"What the heck Uni?!" Alpha growled at Uni for eating some y meat that was hanging in the store. The guy suddenly pulls out a gun and points it at Uni. 

"Whoa, Whoa. It's fine, he's a dog and probably didn't mean to do that?" I tried to reason with the guy. He slowly puts it down and whispers something about paying him back. 

Besides all that.... I forgot to mention Cory's robot thing, Dawn. I didn't realized he was here until he said something earlier while we were walking. 

"Guys, I think a storm is coming," Dawn said while scanning the sky. 

"Ooo, Better not say that in front of the townsfolk. They wouldn't like that news," the guy who is giving us a tour said. I eye the people around us but nod. 

We continue the tour and headed into a bar. I stood next to Cory and listened to the groups conversation. 

Suddenly everyone stopped talking when we head an old bell ringing. I looked out the window and see everyone gathering up. 

The whole group looks confused and go outside to see what's happening. I follow them with Alpha near me. 

At the top of the building where everyone was at, some guy started talking about random stuff. I really don't know what he was talking about but I have a very bad feeling about all this. 

I grab my stomach when a sudden nauseous feeling came over me. 

Alpha stood behind my legs looking at everyone, "(Y/N), I don't like this..." Her ear flicked, "They're talking about some weird stuff."

I listened to the people around me, they were talking about sacrificing sinners. Shivers ran up my body as I heard what they were talking about. 

"We have a special sacrifice this evening. Bring forth the terrible sinner!" The older man yelled. 

My eyes widened as I see who they brought out. 

"Nick..." I whisper to myself. 

"Come on guys, I'm sure we can make a deal. I, uh, Have lots of bottle caps!" Nick tried to reason with them. 

The people surrounding the building started talking. 

Alpha sends me a look that screamed for me to do something. I look around trying to think of something. 

I rush over to Cory and grab his arm, pulling behind a building. The rest of his group see what's going on and follow us quickly. 

It was like we were all too shock to do anything. I'm glad I could do something as small as moving them away. 

I looked at my hand which is still holding Cory's arm and pull it away. "How are we going to get him back?" 

"I'm.. not sure but we will," Cory reassured me. 

"Do you know him or somthin? Who is he?" The guy with the crazy cool eyes asked.

"We meet him in a city nearby, he was traveling with us," Cory faced him. "He left us when he got scared of that 'Deathclaw'..." I continued after Cory. 

"Well, Sacrifices are a pretty big deal here in this town. I could help you get your teammate back though," He smirked. 

Adam scoffed, "Huh, How?" 

Crazy eyes pointed to a house, "See that house there? It's so called 'haunted'." Everyone looked at him in disbelief. "Now don't look at me like that, I've been there. I've seen these ghost and it's pretty haunted. That's where they keep sacrifices. We can break through to get your friend." He explained further. 

"Well, from what I can tell. You only have one eye," Adam joked. 

"What did you say about my eyes boy?" Crazy eyes growled. 

"This isn't really the best time to argue," I sighed. 

"Yeah, come on. Nick is in trouble. I say we meet up at midnight to get him," Cory planned out. Everyone agreed and waited for it to be nighttime.

The thunderstorm that hit us was pretty bad. I can say that I might have cuddled Alpha in fear.. She yelled at me to stop doing that and pushed me away. It was pretty heartbreaking.. 

Anyways, I met up with the group and found they were outside standing around. 

"Finally, Sleeping beauty decides to show up," Adam jokingly. 

"Haha, screw you," I smiled at him. "What's everyone talking about? We have a plan yet?" 

"Just go in and find Nick as fast as we can, besides that it was just Cory forcing us to wait for you," He crossed his arms. 

"Huh, " I look to see that Cory noticed that I came, "that's nice.."

"(Y/N)! There you are! Geez you took forever," Cory greeted me.

"Oh yeah, sorry. It was..." I looked down at Alpha eyeing Uni, "Alpha's fault heh," I finished.

"What?!" Alpha barked, "You know damn well that isn't true!" 

"You used to be so cute," I teased her. 

"Uhhh, right so we should head out now," Cory called out for his group. 

I follow Crazy eyes with everyone else. It was pretty dark and kinda hard to see. Plus it's really misty from the rain. But we some how make it through. 

"Soo Do you guys have any weapons or..?" I asked them. 

"Oh yea, I forgot them," Crazy eyes shrugged. 

"Oh..." I looked at him weirdly but backed off. 

I looked up to see this haunted mansion. It looked 'haunted'.. 

Cory tries the door but it doesn't open. "The doors are locked."

"Hm, I'll check around to see if there's another way in," Crazy eyes runs off to the side and not even 10 minutes later the doors fling open. Crazy eyes standing in the middle of the doorway. 

I follow Cory's group in and try my best to look around. All I could make out is the spiderwebs in the corners and the holes in the walls and floor.

"Alpha you can see where you're going right? Help me out here.." I whined. 

She scoffed, "Find your own way around." I watched as here silhouette moved forward. 

"You're so mean to me," I put my arms out in front to make sure I didn't bump into a wall. 

I still ended up bumping into someone. 

"Jesus (Y/N)!" I hear Adam yell, "Can you really not see anything?"

"Ah sorry... and no I can't," I answered. 

"You two look like creeps running around like that," I can make out Cory's voice. "Here, this should help." 

I hear Adam shuffle next to me and suddenly something hit my face. 

"Ow! What the hell?!" I touched my forehead. I bend down while listening to Cory and Adam laugh at me. 

I grab the thing that Cory throw at me without much warning. 

"Yeah, yeah. What are these anyways?" I asked both of them. Cory being the only one who answered, "Night vision goggles so you don't fall down." 

"Probably still will," Adam mocked. 

I slip them on and everything become much more clear. I was able to not fall for the rest of the journey. 

Adam found a machete and everything seemed to be fine. 

But of course. Of course something bad had to happen. 

As we made our way through this spooky mansion, a very faint but disgusting smell came over me after awhile. But I quickly shook it off and continued. 

Up ahead I could see some broken floor boards. We would have to jump to get across. 

I sighed and scoped Alpha in my arms. "Get ready Dearest Alpha!" I smirked. 

"What are you doing?! Put me down or I'll bite your head off!" She growled. 

I ran over to the edge and slowly throw her across the many holes. 

"(Y/N)?! What the hell are you doing?!" Adam yelled at me. 

Alpha makes it to the other side with ease and grace. She has her back towards us. 

"Uhh, right I'll go fir-" 

"You better hope that you fall off the edge!!" Alpha growled at me, cutting Cory off. 

"Ha ha... She's mad at me," I nervously smile.  

"I would be too," Adam said. 

Cory and Adam go first and make it to the other side with the angry pupper. Crazy eye goes third and has minor complications but he's eyes kinda messed up so it's alright. 

Then lastly its me..

"Okay but please consider the fact that we were Bounty Hunters. So we should be fine right?" I explained as I take the second to last jump. I get ready ready to take the last jump. 

"You 'were' Bounty Hunters?" Cory asks me as I jump. 

I felt myself freeze mid-jump from my own wording. I ended up losing my balance and trip on the edge. 

Luckily I fell forward and not backwards into my death. I push myself up and hear Adam and Alpha laughing at me. 

"Hahaha! Bounty Hunting obviously didn't help if you missed that jump," Adam teased. 

"Whoa..! (Y/N)! Are you alright?" Cory bends down to help me. 

'Why did I say 'were'? I still have to do Bounty Hunting when Cory and his group...' I try to shake my thoughts away and pull off the night vision goggles. They were harshly pressed onto my face when I fell face forward. 

"Ugh, Yeah. Don't wait for me, I just need a minute," I said rubbing the area around my eyes. 

"Oh... Alright then let's keep going," Cory slowly gets up and faces to the rest of his group. 

I sit there for a few seconds. Cory's face, he was really concerned. Plus he kinda sounded happy when he asked me.. Would he be happy if I stopped Bounty Hunting and become a part of his group forever..?

I slapped my face roughly. I grabbed my goggles from the floor and stood up. 

Slipping the night vision goggles on, I went to go look for Cory's group. 

I walk around for about thirty seconds before I notice a bunch of things flying really fast in a circle. 

"What the..?" I looked closely and see Adam and Cory in the middle. 

I grab my bag and try to pull out my hunting knife, "Cory!-" 

Something hard and cold hits the back of my head and soon I find myself laying on the floor, surrounded by blackness. 

~ ~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~ ~

I wake up in a coughing fit. 

"(Y/N)! Oh right.. Here put this on," I make out Cory's face as he hands me a mask. 

"What's going on...?" I looked around to see Cory's group wearing masks. Expect Uni and Alpha.

"Woow, Maybe you're not the mutt the. Maybe I'M the mutt," Alpha said in a drunk-like voice.

"Okay..." I looked back at Cory.

"Dawn, Can you get Uni and Alpha out of here?" Cory asked.

"Yes, you guys go ahead. We'll wait for you at the top," Dawn then tries to get the two dogs out of there. 

"Look, I think this is all our weapons," Cory opens a chest and hands his group their guns and knives. I grabbed my bag that was sitting at the bottom. 

I pull out my handgun and some ammo. I loaded the gun up and flinch when someone puts their hand on my shoulder. 

"Hey, hurry up. You seriously worried me back there," Cory said looking down at me. 

"Oh.. I'm sorry. Just give me a min-" I stopped when I realized I was saying the same thing as earlier. "I'll be there right now."

"Okay, Let's look around for Nick," Cory's hand falls off my shoulder and I put my gun down. Shortly after I followed them into the next room. 

It was full of barrels, nothing too interesting. It connected to another room with a hatch, they opened it very easily. We went down and right as we hit the floor some guy comes running after us. Adam ends him swiftly.

I walk behind Cory and he puts his arm out in front of me every time something comes at us. I push it down, "I'll be fine Cory." He nods though he's still somewhat concerned. 

"Nick! Where are you?!" Adam yells out. 

"Guys? I'm in here!" I hear Nick yell through a door. They quickly walk into the room, But somehow I'm already in there first. 

"Oh, hey (Y/N)," He says casual. I grab my knife and start to untie him. "Hi Nick," I smiled softly. 

"Well, look. We found our idiot," Adam joked. 

"Haha very funny," I finish untying him, "Thanks (Y/N), really thankful someone likes me." He said kinda thoughtfully. 

"What happened?" Cory asked, he looked kinda pissed off. Just a little bit.

"So, they get people in here, and knock them out with gases," Nick answered. 

"Well, all of us need to get out of here before they come back," I state. 

Right as I say this, our long lost friend Crazy eyes comes in. 

"Oh I almost shot you-"

"Just shut up and put your weapons down!" He yells as us. 

Before anyone can react, Nick grabs a bat and hits him over the head. It was very unexpected for Nick to do that.

I smiled at him, "That's going to leave a mark." 

He smiled back at me, "See, I can pull my own weight."

"Whatever, Let's just get the hell out of here," Adam turns away not wanting Nick to see his smile. 

Cory's group and I leave the room, Nick was right by my side telling me all sorts of things. 

"Who would've know that the money would be inside me!" Nick joked. I laughed at it, and the rest of his stories as well. He was just ridiculous and funny. 

I felt a cold glare on the two of us as we walked out of there. But I shrugged it off. 

Maybe someone was jealous that we finally got to leave the place, yeah they were jealous because of that...
