Zachary looked around cautiously, he hadn't heard anything but as the man of the house, it was his duty to protect the others.  Zachary reached into his frame to pull out two things; was his gun which he had brought along just in case they encountered any wild animals and he double checked that it was fully loaded.  The other was the family bible which had been given to him by his father who had recieved it from his father and so on and forth for the last three generations.  It was a prized heirloom and holding it made him feel safe and secure.  Putting on his frame, he flicked off the safety before putting the gun in his pocket.   "Come on, gather behind me."  Zachary lifted the Bible and into the air,<br/><br/>"We are humble children of the Lord and mean you no harm!"
