Cassie and Lucy Cage had been living with Jason for five years. Lucy was now ten years old. Cassie had been homeschooling her and unbeknownst to Cassie, Jason had too. He taught her to be an expert with the Bowie knife he had given her. He had taught her how to hunt and kill a deer with just the knife. She had even snuck along with him to deal with a group of teenagers. She had even killed a boy who tried to shoot Jason. She cried for hours and never told anyone. Jason had been letting them go into town, without watching them for almost a year. One day, Lucy knocked on Jason's door. He opened it and looked down at her.

"Hey Jay" she said "I'm going into town with mom for some supplies. Do you need anything?"

Jason walked into his cabin and came back with an arrow.

"You need more arrows?" Lucy asked.

Jason nodded.

"Ok" she said "we'll get some."

Jason nodded at her.

"You're welcome" she said.

She and Cassie had learned to understand Jason's gestures.

"We'll be back later" Lucy said as she started to walk away.

Jason gently put his hand on her shoulder. She turned to face him. Jason pointed to his machete on his belt. Lucy lifted her shirt slightly to show the Bowie knife on her belt. Jason nodded and walked back inside. Lucy and Cassie headed into town in a pickup truck that belonged to a group of hunters Jason had killed.

"Does Jason need anything?" Cassie asked.

"Arrows" Lucy said "and I want to get him a new pair of boots. His are worn out."

"Alright then" Cassie said.

After they had finished their shopping, they loaded the supplies into the truck and got ready to head back. Suddenly, several men in ski masks with rifles ran up to them. Cassie drew her pistol as Lucy unsheathed her knife.

"We don't need the girl" one of them said "besides, she's no threat. She brought a knife to a gun fight."

Lucy got ready to fight. One of the men approached her. She slashed him across his chest and stabbed his right arm, causing him to drop the rifle. He grabbed her by the throat and punched her in the side of the head, knocking her out. Cassie aimed her pistol at one of them.

"Hey" one yelled.

Cassie looked and saw his rifle pointed at Lucy's head and lowered her pistol. Lucy's eyes opened slightly.

Cassie looked at her and mouthed "don't move."

The men quickly tied Cassie's hands behind her and said "you've got a date with a gun slinger. Erron Black paid good money for you. Let's go"

They began leading her away. Once they were out of sight, Lucy jumped to her feet and started to go after them.

"No" she said to herself "I'm gonna need help."

She looked at the police station as people gathered around her. Lucy shook her head and looked towards the lake as bruises began to appear on her face and throat.

"Are you ok?" A woman asked as she approached her.

Lucy put the knife back in its sheath and pushed her way through the crowd and ran towards the lake. She ran through the woods towards the camp. She ran into Jason's cabin. He looked up at her and immediately stood up when he saw the bruises and the tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I need your help" she said.

Jason nodded.

"There was a group of men in town" she said "they attacked me and mom. They hit me and knocked me out" She pointed to the large bruise. "They kidnapped my mom and said something about some man named Erron. Will you help me get her back, please?"

Jason walked over to his sharpening wheel and picked up an axe and made sure he had his machete.

"Thank you" she said as more tears fell. Jason walked towards her and put his huge arm around her.

He heard his mother's voice in his head say "Jason, my special boy. Those men were very bad. They hit Lucy and took her mother away. They were very, very bad for both of those things and need to be punished. Punish them Jason. Make them feel the pain Lucy is feeling. Kill for mother."

Jason nodded.

"Are you sure you're ok leaving the lake?" Lucy asked as she wiped her eyes.

Jason nodded. Lucy saw a mixture of concern and anger in his eye.

"How are we going to track them?" Lucy asked "I know you don't go into town."

Jason walked outside and pointed at the sun and slowly moved his finger, pointing west towards the tree line.

"We wait for night?" She asked.

Jason nodded and walked back into his cabin and to his weapon stash. He sharpened the axe and sat down, waiting for nightfall. Lucy walked over and sat beside him, she pulled her knees into her chest and wrapped her arms around them. Jason looked down at her while she sat there staring at the floor. He put his hand on her shoulder and gently pulled her into his lap. He spun the sharpening wheel and began showing her how to sharpen her Bowie knife on the wheel. She was fascinated by the way the sparks flew as she sharpened her knife. He managed to keep her attention until nightfall by letting her sharpen all of his weapons.

Lucy looked out the window and said "it's dark outside, can we go look for mom now?"

Jason nodded. Lucy slid off of his lap and put her Bowie knife in its sheath. Jason made sure he had his machete and grabbed the axe. Lucy led him to the spot where her mother was taken. Jason began to look for signs to track them. After years of tracking teens through the woods he had learned what signs to look for. He eventually picked up signs of the van and began following the trail.

After a little while, Lucy looked up at him and said "Jason, will you carry me?"

He picked her up and put her over his left shoulder. After fifteen minutes, the girl was asleep on his shoulder. An hour or so later, Jason saw a large building that looked like a warehouse. He began to cautiously look the building over from the shadows, suddenly several spotlights lit the area. Five men ran towards him. He quickly put Lucy down behind him and readied the axe. He heard a strange sound and a dart hit him in the chest. He pulled it out and looked it over, suddenly two more hit him. Jason began walking forward as another dart hit him. He began to feel tired and slowed down, another dart hit him and he fell. Jason laid on the ground losing consciousness as the men began approaching him.

"Well, I guess you found your roommate" one of the men said.

He shot Jason one last time. Jason's world started to spin, then everything turned black.
