Austin could be seen talking to the king, along with princess Beatrice also inside the wide golden hall. “The number of zombies keeps increasing...there is an alpha zombie..that is what controls the mindless creatures" princess Beatrice explains ."You know that I can control these things, right?" Austin asks as he puts on his helmet and his gun belt."But you have no reason to kill them! You said so yourself that it has been decades since you last fought a zombie!" princess Beatrice replies."I do not want to fight those stupid zombies that have been killing people for centuries, they are the most pathetic creatures to walk this earth! The only good thing about them is that they are easy to get rid of, but it is hard to destroy a whole army of them at once!" Austin answers.They hear a loud explosion in the distance and everyone looks out the window. They see nothing there, but then Austin sees some dark clouds gathering over the city. He looks up to the sky and says:"A storm i

She shrugged, "I don't know much either... But I do remember hearing voices. They sounded familiar…"Austin tilted his head questioningly, "Voices? Did you hear anything else?".She shook her head, "No... Just voices".They stood in silence for a moment before Austin spoke up, "We should probably leave the palace soon. I don't think the king will let us stay long if he finds out that we are here"."Yes… Let's go" she agreedAs they left the room, a few guards noticed their presence. They walked toward them to stop them from leaving. As soon as they approached, the first guard recognized them and saluted."Lord Austin, milady, I am sorry to bother you, but we heard shouting coming from somewhere near the gardens and thought that you might want to know about it" the guard repliedAustin smiled and replied, "That's very good of you to inform us, thank you".One of the guards nodded and left to report to his colleagues. The three of them walked past the guards and headed toward the garden

His heart sank as he remembered that he had no power to heal himself. He looked at her helplessly. She noticed his sad expression, and she stepped forward taking his hand, and giving it a small squeeze "Don't worry. You're safe now. Don't worry."He looked down, "Why don't you ever use your powers? Why didn't you help me earlier"?"My mother always warned me to never use my magic in front of outsiders. She told me that they could take advantage of it and use it for evil purposes", she explained"Well, thank you anyway, princess", he replied gratefullyShe smiled at him "You're welcome." A few minutes later, “You mean Sadie is the one behind everything?" Princess Beatrice asked shocked.Austin nodded sadly, "She is his whole thing"."So... Are we supposed to trust her or not"."I don't think she would hurt me... But if you ask me, we shouldn't trust her at all".Beatrice nodded, "I agree".Austin sighed and continued walking, thinking back to Sadie and her words. She said tha

Dead Man POVMy breathing had gotten a bit easier now, but I knew I was not going to live through this night unscathed. I was almost certain that one of his teeth were embedded in my skin and I could feel the blood oozing out of it. I wanted to say something or at least move. But my legs felt heavy.I heard the sound of footsteps and I knew that I was about to lose consciousness soon. I tried to get up on shaky legs, but fell back to the ground. A strong pair of arms grabbed me and helped me stand up. When I regained control of my feet, I recognized the familiar warmth. Jaden?As soon as I was able to hold his hand, I leaned into him and tried to smile. “Sorry... I didn't want to cause you trouble,” I said as I squeezed his hand softlyJaden smiled sadly, “You never had caused me trouble,” he muttered, his gaze focused on our joined handsI sighed deeply, “I hope you know that I really am sorry” I whisperedhe chuckled lightly and looked at me, “it doesn't matter anyway, everything en

I'm sure that Jonathan has already called Dina to let her know that I'm missing. I sighed in frustration as I rested my face against my pillowThey are going to find out that I love him. And when they do they're going to be mad with me. But what could I do? I can't tell them the truth. That's impossible. It could end in disaster and I wouldn't be able to fix it. Then again I may never be able to fix it, if I even try.A loud thump came from the hallway followed by the door slamming loudly against the wall causing Dina and Michael to jump, and I jumped along with them. I heard the muffled voices of my brothers' friends coming closer, and I immediately realized that it was over now. They were probably here for me. But when I heard Jonathan's distinct voice, I almost screamed for them to leave me alone. It hurt just hearing his voice, and the guilt was killing me. I hated it when he spoke to me this way. His voice always calmed me, and I missed it. Now it was as if the worst part of al

My heart was clenching tightly as I listened to him, but I still wanted to know one thing. Who exactly is Sara? Does anyone have a picture of her? Was I related to her somehow? Why did my father leave her, just like her mother? Is that why she looks like me? Do people really think I'm her brother?“And that's why I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess” he mumbled sadlyI shook my head, “You didn't drag me anywhere, I've never regretted coming with you. I wanted to help and be here with you guys. Besides I should be thanking you for helping me out today,” I muttered while fidgeting nervously“Don't thank us. Thank God that you're safe and sound. If you hadn't shown up, we would have never found you. You don't deserve this shit.” Dina said while wiping her tears from her cheeks and placing her hands on her hips. She gave me a small smile, making me chuckle a bit.Jonathan walked over to me and crouched down to be at eye level with me, “Are you okay?” He asked while

I didn't hesitate to answer her question. “Because I needed help Sara. And I needed to leave. You had no idea what was happening to me. And you certainly wouldn't have helped me. You might have hated me for what I'd become, but you'd still have wanted to try and make me normal again. So yes, your family and I did have some kind of history. But what we have today is different. We are better than we used to be. We don't hate each other anymore. And we don't have to hide anything anymore. That's why I need your help” I explained calmly, feeling my voice begin to waver slightly at the end of my explanation.“But how can you possibly trust me? I am a fucking murderer Alex! And you are the only person who knows the truth about that! How can you trust me with your secret? How can I trust you?”I shook my head, “There is no way that you can actually believe everything that I have just said. But there is nothing that you can do about that, right now anyway” I reasoned, trying to soun

After driving for quite awhile and passing several more groups of zombies, they reached a clearing where most of the vehicles and trucks had stopped and people were starting to pile out. The stranger hopped out and walked to one of the many generators, turning it on and starting it up. He ran back over to where the rest of the group was gathering.“Everyone stay calm,” he called as the others looked to see him.“We are almost out, and once we have a few more blocks to go, we should be able to drive through and then continue our journey”“That sounds good,” said BaliAnother ten minutes passed before they had made it to the main street that led toward the entrance of the city.
