Spike: this is it come on

Spike opened the gate halfway and squeeze through the gate as YN and Aiden did the same they followed Spike for them to see a house like mansion that was covered in vines it's been abandoned for over years

Spike: hen somebody had a nice crib

Spike: quit pretending you became a Pilgrim to track that fucker down Waitz I found someone who knows him

Aiden: wait whaat and you're only telling us now

Spike: when I tossed you both a beer thought you'd guess right away we were celebrating the guy is in villador close to Salem supposedly he knows something about Waltz

YN: Villador so we're that close and Salem too huh great I got a favor to ask will you deliver this to Garry it's on your way people don't like Pilgrims there but they pay well

Spike: where so people like Pilgrims

YN: they're afraid of us everyone does their best to survive

Spike: maybe when something needs to be transported through hordes of infected then suddenly they're knocking on our doors alright you own me one

YN handed Spike the package

Aiden: oh not just one so what about that guy

Spike: well I talked to him over the radio he didn't tell me his name sounds like he's got something to hide see that antenna on the hill that'll help you contact the informer he'll be listening to you st dawn on a frequency of 140.200MHz told him he'd hear from you soon

YN: what does he want in return

Spike: didn't say but he didn't sound like the kind of guy who does things for free

YN: I don't think that kind of guys exists

Spike: what what about me

Aiden: you're an old fart who likes racing us and makes us ask around about his crazy girlfriend

Spike: hey hey hey she's not crazy Jane's just maybe hmm well a little hot headed and she's always getting herself into trouble but if you could get a load of her

YN: ha whoa alright still too early in the evening for that sort of talk

Spike: eyes I was gonna say eyes beautiful steely huge

Aiden: never heard anyone get so worked up about gray eyes

Spike: because you don't know shit about the world let alone women

Aiden: eh you're probably right

Spike: I'm telling you I'll finally find Jane we'll set up a house we're gonna live there no one's gonna drive us out and I'll stop wandering like a moron

YN: we'll drink to that

YN Aiden and Spike had a toasted and drank the rest of their beers then threw the bottles in the pool

Spike: and that Waitz what's his deal is he family

Aiden: no not at all

Spike: then why are you looking for him will you tell sometimes

Aiden: yeah yeah one day

Spike: well my times up

YN: so when we'll see you again another two years

Spike: maybe take care guys I hope you find that Waltz guy or whoever you're looking for and remember 140.200MHz at dawn the guy wanting for you

Spike left to go on his own way YN and Aiden looks at each other and nodded they jumped off the balcony landed on their feet safely they went down the path to open the gate and they squeezed through the gates and went the edge of the cliff they jumped off and land in the water as it was deep

They swim to a boat house as they get out of the water as they dry off and then a biter burst through the door then onto the ground as it got back up biters are slow and dumb easy to kill but they are dangerous and powerful in groups

YN/Aiden: Biters

They got out their weapons Spike gave them as YN slices a biter head off and Aiden used his bat to bash a biter head three times until it died another one come from out of nowhere as YN cut it head off with his machete then the last one came of fhr boat house as Aiden did the same thing by bash it head three times until it died

They continue to the antenna before the sun goes down at it's very dangerous be out at night time they sees a bus tumbling down on a bridge they look inside and it was climbable YN and Aiden climb up the bus to the highway

They continue on to the antenna and they see a tunnel with biters and virals avoiding the Sun they go inside the path making sure not to alert them they quietly went on top of a few Vehicles avoiding the bitters and virals to get the other side of the tunnel to the sunlight but the sun was setting and they hurried up to the antenna

They went up a hill to climb up structures of the way up to get the antenna on the mountains they claim up a few more obstacles and saw a zipline they jump on the antenna using their weapons to get across and land on the ground to continue forward to the antenna they went through a cave to get out easily as they see two biters up here YN and Aiden kick the bitters with their right leg as they falls to their deaths they then went on a log on that connects to the edges of the cliffs to keep their balance in place

After that take off the log and jump on a rope to swing across the mountains and jump on the other side

YN/Aiden: almost there

They jumped to reach the edge and climbed up and then jumped up again to reach the other ledge and pulled themselves up as they know it's that the sun was going down and almost to get dark

Aiden: ah its already dark it's time to hide somewhere for the night

YN: right

They walk to the path that leads antenna and YN is shock of what he sees

The antenna is his old cottage that he used to live in with his sisters 315 years ago

Aiden: YN you alright

YN: yeah I'm fine

Aiden nodded and they go inside the Cottage as they coughing because how dusty the places and it smell bad

Aiden: Jesus Christ it smells bad in here

YN: that's very dusting here and hard to breathe in here

Aiden: anyway the broadcast station should be in here somewhere

They searched around the Cottage as they go upstairs to find the broadcast station to contact the informant in tbe morning as they did get some supplies like leather scrap and all sorts of stuff in the building then they see tracks in a room and tracks lead to a dresser

YN: okay let's give it a try

Aiden: right

YN and Aiden start pushing the dresser to move it out of the way after some pushing a squeeze through the boards to get inside the room to see it was the broadcast station

Aiden: this it is the broadcast station

YN: gotta start the generator

They go outside to start the generator in the garage did then start lifting the garage door up but it wouldn't budge and then they heard a noise coming from inside

YN: what the

They saw it peaking its head out but then it went back down in the grass the infected then jumped out by hopping on the biter shoulder and onto another and then jumped so high in the sky and they finally see it was a banshee

They dodged the Banshee attack and they get already for a fight the Banshee they got their weapons out as they hit the Banshee a few times on it as it jumped away from then as they sees more biters coming for them they killed all the biters and focus on their primary enemy YN runs to the Banshee and does a strong swing cutting its head off as it falls down to the ground dead

YN: Phew that was close

Aiden: you got that right YN no bites

YN: yep no bites

Aiden: good anyway let's get the generator on and call it a night

YN nodded and they go to the garage and opened it as Aiden grab the cord and pull itna few times as the generator turn on as the entire building had power they go inside as they heard music playing YN turned it off to make sure not to draw any attention to the infected

Aiden looks around the Cottage and YN sees Winnie old spell book as he was shocked it's been here for all these years even after the fall then it eye opened up and it was surprised to see him again

YN: close your eye

The book closed it eye as Aiden sees YN looking at something

Aiden: hey YN what are you looking at

Aiden: yeah but 300 years old or not that shit is still scary cause we're in their Cottage

Aiden sees a candle

Aiden: hey YN what's that

YN: I think that's called a black flame candle

Aiden goes to the black flame candle and reads the sign

Aiden: hmm black flame candle made from the fat of a hanged man legend says that on a full moon it will raise the spirits of the dead when lit by a virgin on Halloween night Hmm so let's light the sucker and meet the Sanderson

YN: Aiden I don't know if it's real this is just a museum it could be fake and besides the dead is already wandering the Earth I don't even know if it's Halloween because I lost track of the date since the fall

Aiden: only one way to find out

Aiden lit the candle with a lighter he found as nothing happened

Aiden: huh I guess you're right YN it's fake just a bunch of Hocus Pocus right

YN was about to respond but then when a black flame was on the candle meaning

Aiden: ahh shit

Aiden: wha-what just happened YN

YN: ahh I think that happened because a virgin lit the candle and besides Aiden you're a virgin

Aiden: hey come on you think I have time to hook up with a girl YN

Then every candle start liting on then a fire start under the cauldron then a laughed was heard as YN recognize it

Aiden: hide
