“Let Dina go and take me instead.” Andrew could hear the young man they had just rescued say. Although he was still a child and he was making a very rash decision, Andrew simply wanted his sister to return back to him safely.He hated himself that he could not find the voice to speak out against the idea since he was powerless to do anything himself. He turned his eyes to Phillip who gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. It looked as though even he did not know what the next step should be. They all did not want to admit it, but they were quite powerless in the situation. They could only hope that with Christopher’s abilities which made him invulnerable, he would be able to hold out long enough for them to create a plan to save him. “Ha ha ha ha ha!” Kaiser laughed heartily. “Finally, someone with a bit of a spine!” He said as he clapped his hands together. “I hope you know that you can not change your mind after making such a bold statement?” Kaiser asked with a raised eyebrow
Phillip and his group watched as the cars Kaiser and his group came in drive off and disappeared into the distance. A part of Phillip wanted to pursue after them and try to rescue Christopher, but his logic returned to him moments later.“Hmmmm” his attention returned back to Dina who was squirming in his arms. His heart stung a bit as he looked at her and saw some of the bruises on her body and how slim she had become. She was still unconscious and she needed some sort of medical attention. “Dina!” Andrew yelled as he rushed towards Phillips side and crouched down beside his sister. He placed his hand on her forehead as he pushed a strand of hair aside. “What do we do now Phillip?” Andrew looked at him expectantly. He looked on as if he had lost all sense of reasoning at the sight of his sister in that state.“There is nothing else we can do. First, we tend to Dina then next we regroup and go back to the settlement.” Phillip said as he gritted his teeth.“What about Christopher? Wh
Back at the base, Frank and Greyson had gotten news that Phillip and the rest of the team had returned. However they heard that rather than returning with positive news and Christopher, they returned without the target and an injured Dina.“The reports aren’t good sir.” The soldier who accompanied the group said while standing in front of Greyson and Frank in the office.“Give me a detailed report of your findings and discoveries on the expedition. I want to hear everything.” Greyson said as he placed his chin on his laced hands.Frank leaned on the wall in the corner of his office, his arms folded and his attention completely focused on Xander who was standing in front of him.“Alright sir, let me begin..” Xander started his report. Immediately talking about their arrival to the location, their discovery of Christopher, their initial success in convincing him to accompany them back to the settlement and their encounter with Kaiser. He made sure to tell them that their suspicions ab
Christopher woke up to the feeling of something licking his toes. He tried to sit up but he felt his hands tied behind his back. He could feel a similar sensation with his legs as well. He managed to raise his head over his lower body to see a couple of rats licking his toes. “Ahhh.” He yelled as he frantically worked his body till the lettering rodents ran away.“Haaa…haaaa where am i?” He asked as he looked around the enclosed room. Rays of light seeped through cracks in the walls and ceiling. His environment wasn’t the most hygienic, hence the rats he woke up to see earlier.“What the hell is this place?” He asked aloud once again as he realized he was most likely being kept in some kind of cell. The last thing he remembered was being knocked out by the special grade guarding Kaiser.He suddenly remembered the last of the events that had taken place before he lost consciousness. He scrambled to recall whether Dina had been released as they agreed and remembered she was released.“
“Did you not hear me the first time? Get up you piece of crap!” The first guard said as he kicked Christopher who was still laying on the floor.“How the hell am I supposed to get up when my legs and hands are chained together?!” He asked in an irritated manner. “As annoying as he is he’s right. Here, use these to untie his legs only, his hands stay bound.” The second guard said to him as he reached into his pockets and handed the keys over to the second guard.He picked them from his palm and walked over to Christopher as he knelt down and unlocked the chains binding his legs together. “Do not try anything stupid, you would get killed before you even leave this building.” The guard said as he hoisted Christopher up by the arm.“Just follow us and stay quiet. Do not ask any questions.” The first guard who seemed to be the leader of the duo said as he led the way out of the cell.They began to walk down the hallway and Christopher used the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the other p
Christopher shuddered hard when he saw the hideous face of the man in front of him. His left eye socket had a huge gash and slash across it, properly exposing the socket and flesh underneath. His head was bald with the scar running across the top. It looked as though he had been injured in a battle previously but whatever it was, it was unsightly. He got up from behind his wooden table and passed the trays with utensils and surgical tools. He walked up to Christopher and put his hand on his face, turning his head roughly while observing him. “Hmm, I’m guessing this is the special grade we had been keeping tabs on from earlier?” The man asked while analyzing Christopher’s pupils. “From what we heard he should be able to manipulate sound waves no?” He asked. “Well no sir, it looks as though he has other abilities. His major trait is that of invulnerability.” He said and the man’s eyes lit up immediately. “Invulnerability? To what extent would you say he is invulnerable?” He said a
Christopher lay on the floor, unconscious yet heading everything happening around him and recalling some of his past moments with Franklin.***“Wow, that’s insane. So you’re not even from here, yet you just got thrown into this whole mess.” Christopher said in bewilderment.Franklin was handling this way better than he would have ever imagined. This wasn’t even his country, yet here he was. He was roughing it out much better than he who had lived there his entire life.“Well, I came here to get a better life for myself. I can not really say that is what has happened so far, but wherever I find myself I should at least try to do the best I can. If not for anything, to say thank you to the man that saved my life.” Franklin said with a cheerful smile.His ability to see the good in most situations was something that Christopher admired in the short time that they had spent together.“What about you Chris? How did you end up in this part of town when everybody had evacuated. I’ll be hone
Another flashback ensues within Christopher’s mind about the happenings from before. “What the hell is that?” One of the soldiers screamed in horror as the creature removed its tail from the bow lifeless soldiers body.The sound of gunshots filled the air as more soldiers began running in different directions as more creatures began falling out.In an instant all the immigrants who had been composed scattered in multiple directions as everyone wanted to escape from the beasts.Franklin was no different as he immediately got up and ran away, trying to put distance between himself and the ensuing chaos.He ran several feet away from the camp to where there was a warehouse that contained vehicles. His chest rose and dropped in large compressions as he was gathering himself and processing what had just happened.“Monsters, there are monsters in this country” he mumbled to himself. He never thought he would be seeing something like this. The sounds of gunshots and screams could be heard
