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
Hours later the ship was heading towards a car junk as a ship horned loudly, signaling the end of their journey. Roy turns to look at Kori as she stands up, “Let’s go” she said while walking toward the door leading below deck. Roy gets up and starts following her, keeping his distance from everyone else, knowing that they have many questions they want to be answered.When they arrive at the bottom of the stairs, Kori opens the door to one of the rooms, entering before Roy. Roy quickly follows her inside the room and closes the door behind them. He stops walking and turns around to face Kori, “So where do I begin?” he said.“How about the beginning” Kori suggests.“Alright….so let me start by asking you a question...why do you think I’m going to stay here...when I should be trying to find a way out,” Roy asks.“There is a good chance that this mission will turn into a battle. If we stay here until then, the army will capture and use you as a bargaining chip. While that may seem harsh,
“You never did tell me about the explosion," Roy asked while staring at kori “You saved us...you saved the entire city," Kori replies. “From what?” he asked while staring directly at Kori with the image of a lady flashing before his eyes. Kori walks closer to him while kissing him gently on the kisser. Roy closes his eyes and kisses her back, savoring every moment with her. The two continue to enjoy each other's touch, enjoying the feeling of happiness before pulling away. "I'm sorry Roy" Kori apologized quietly as she looked down. “What?” Roy asked confused by what she said “Why are you apologizing? What for?" Kori glances at Roy briefly before looking forward again “It’s just...well...we've both known that we're soulmates since birth. I don't think we’ve ever told each other that we love each other or even admitted that we were attracted to each other. Even though we knew we loved each other, we didn't say anything. We never wanted to burden the other and risk losing wh
“Okay, I need to grab something out of my backpack. Stay with me, Roy. Please!” he says while walking towards the tree and pulling out one of the many bags he’s carried around. He opens the bag and begins rummaging through it once again. Then he finds what he was looking for: a small box with a few bottles of liquid inside. He quickly runs back to Roy and kneels next to him as fast as he possibly could without losing balance. “We have to get you into my tent, alright? It’s our only chance.” He places the first bottle of saline on the ground and takes the box out of his pocket, opens it, and puts a couple of pills in his mouth. Roy watches the man drink the water in his mouth and then spit it out immediately, almost choking on it as he continues to look for the proper medication. After gulping two pills down he sets the empty bottle aside, and then picks another one up and pops it into his mouth. “Here, take this one,” he says as he hands Roy the bottle, then moves to pick him up brida
Roy could hear whispers then he opens his eyes to find himself being pulled across the hallway toward the exit that shone a bright light on his face. His body is hanging loosely from the straps of a chair. He groans slightly as he feels every movement his body makes as he is dragged across the smooth surface of the floor. He tries opening his eyes again, but he sees nothing except darkness for miles and miles. Then something hits him across the face hard. Pain shoots through his right cheek, making him close his eyes again. Then another blow. And another. Then something slams him on the back. “What kind of father do you think the general is? wanting his son dead” he could hear someone talking outHe’s thrown across the floor outside, as the got searching sun burnt through his eyes. later he hears the door close far from him, then he could hear footsteps coming closer to him. Roy stands to his feet slowly to see zombies coming towards him, he noticed also he was caged with the c
Roy wakes up to find himself floating by the side of the river all drained and wet with some glass pierced right into his stomach. His whole body feels like it’s on fire, from the waist down. The pain radiates throughout his entire body, not just his abdomen but his entire arm and leg are covered in blood. He tries to move his hand, but he can barely budge at all. A dull ache pulses through his head as well. As he stares into the dark water he notices the faint glow coming off of its surface of it, the reflection of moonlight against the dark green water. The air around him is still. Roy can hear nothing except for the sounds of his shallow breathing. Then there’s a movement out of the corner of his eye. Roy turns his head sharply as he hears footsteps approaching him. The sound doesn’t seem very loud though. Maybe they are underwater?The figure emerges out of the shadows. “What the hell happened?” says a familiar voice. That’s the guy who found him. It’s gotta be a trick of his min
When they start to get hungry, they decide to grab some lunch, deciding to eat in the cafeteria since it is the most popular place to go for lunch. They find a table outside and sit down to eat their lunch.“Have you ever been to the library before?” Trisha asks after eating.“No” Roy admits. He has always liked learning new things about other countries but there were some subjects that his father wouldn’t allow him to study. He was allowed to read historical novels about various countries, but nothing more.“I think I’d like to visit someday soon” Trisha admits “Perhaps after the festival is over”“That sounds great. Are you planning on coming here tomorrow?” Roy inquires hopefully“Maybe” Trisha responds quietly. Suddenly, Roy feels her tighten her grip on his hand. The sight causes him to turn to face her, noticing that her cheeks are bright pink.“Trisha” he says worriedly as he reaches out towards her “Is everything alright?”“Yes,” she says hurriedly “I mean yes I’m fine I’m ju
Meanwhile, at the military camp...the soldiers were all having fun shooting the zombies meters close to them as they ran around wildly trying to kill them. Some of them are aiming for areas where the zombies weren't moving, hoping for a lucky shot at a zombie who had died due to its wounds being fatal.One soldier is standing alone in front of the group of soldiers, trying to aim with his rifle. He fires off two shots and hits a zombie, causing it to collapse and die. He aims again and fires, missing the zombie by a couple of feet this time. With a sigh, he puts the rifle onto the ground and begins to walk away when he suddenly hears a noise coming from behind him and turns around surprised.Just then a large man runs up to the soldier, grabs him roughly by the collar of his shirt, and drags him off to the tent where he throws him unceremoniously on the floor before leaving and locking the door behind him. The soldier stands up and rubs his bruised stomach. He looks up and finds a ta

The next morning Roy wakes up from bed feeling normal, strong, and healthy. He walks out of the tent only to see several soldiers and officers walking around the area. They were dressed in uniforms, and all seemed very busy.Roy notices a woman standing near the tent. She is talking animatedly to someone who is standing behind a wooden bench. As he gets closer he recognizes the woman. She’s wearing a blue dress, and she’s chatting away with one of the guards in Arabic, both of them laughing together while pointing to something in their hands. One of the guards places a hand on the woman’s hip, and they share another laugh while leaning into each other's embrace and resting against each other for a short moment, which ends in them embracing fully. Roy looks at them for a second before turning back towards his destination. He spots the boy that he had spoken to earlier lying on the ground, still sound asleep, with a bunch of toy sheep laying nearby.The boy suddenly opens his eyes and s
