You explore the place

A possible shelter and suplies is a too tempting prospect to pass up and you decide to test your luck and explore the place. The steps are steep and dusty as you make your way up the big rock formation, the path only a little fortified with some makeshift railings made from rope and spare wood. As you finally reach the top you take in your suroundings.

The watchtower looms to your right creaking in the wind and looking quite unstable, clearly having been repaired only half hazardly. The shed to the side however seems somewhat more homely. As you step inside you take in the rag tag interior furnished with just the essentials like a bed fridge and a small gas tank in the corner. To the side there is another small room with a workbench and some scrap parts. One thing that particularly catches your eye is a spiked collar laying in the middle of the table. The gadget seems to be modified with a bunch of electronic parts and you can make out what seems like a battery on it as well.

Before you can inspect the gadget further though you suddenly hear a clicking noise behind you and something cold is pressed against your back with a good bit of ****.

"I wouldnt move if i we're you" a southern female voice commands. "Now hands up and turn around reel slow"

Your hands shake as you slowly lift them above your head trying not to make any sudden moves. You slowly turn around and are faced with the two barrels of a sawed of shotgun pointing right at your face.

"Woah ok... p... please dont shoot me" you stammer out with a shaky voice. You look up slowly at the woman holding the gun with a firm grip. First you notice the striking purple hair wich she has bound into a ponytail, aswell as the the yellow scarf around her neck.

"Watcha doin here Buster, or do you normaly just go on other peoples property without even asking" she asks challengingly, her brows furrowing.

"Cats got your tounge or what, answer damn it"

"Sorry i didnt know someone lived here, this place seemed abandoned so i thought i could check it out"

She doesnt really seem impressed by your answer, still looking you over with squinted eyes and gun raised.

"Look i dont think im from around here and the first thing that i see is some bear lady who tries to jump me. I was just looking for shelter, sorry if i broke into your... house"

This time the woman looks almost a bit taken aback.

"Well i guess you didnt really Break in, i mean i dont really have a door" She admits slowly lowering the gun but stays at a distance. You finally take a deep breath calming your nerves now that you arent in emediat danger of beeing shot.

"You said you where atacked by a "bear lady"" she repeats. "And you got away?"

The incredulous tone in her voice is hard to ignore, almost like she doesnt believe you. "Yea i through her in a pond... I guess"

With that a hard laugh tears from the womans mouth as she clutches her chest in amusemnt.

"No way you threw Nita of all people in a pond, nah you are a fucking riot dude" she says, throwing the gun on the matress beside you and giving your shoulder a nudge with her fist.

"Honestly im impressed, there arent many people who can handle her. I mean i am the one they gave the job of catching her and even i havent managed that yet"

The praise honestly makes you feel a lot better about the whole situation and you cant help but get a little red in the cheeks.

"Thanks i guess" At your uncertain response she chuckles.

"Oh chill out dude, Im Shelly btw and dont worry im not gonna shoot you or anything. Oh better yet since you have had a run in with that little wildcard, how about i show you a little something i made" Walking over to the workbench she picks up the device you had your hands on earlyier and tosses it towards you.

"Here put it on for a moment will ya"

You hesitate for a bit but eventually do as she says and open the buckle on the back and put the colar on. The belt clicks close around your neck and Shelly stepps closer pulling it tight.

"That okay" she asks quickly, but before you can answer your entire body jerks against your will, all you muskles drawing tight in an Instant, though not painfully so. After a few second the electrical sting fades and your body finally relaxes. You stumble a Bit but manage to catch yourself by propping an arm against the weary wood making up the shack wall, wich gives a groan in response.

"Fuck what the hell was that" you yell out still shocked at what just happened. You are only met by Shelly's stupid chuckle, obviously finding your discomfort and shock at least a little amusing.
