The back door was wide open.Adam balked like a deer caught in headlights.That was not right.He remembered what he had seen when they ran from the stable to the side of the house.He had caught the barest glance then, but the door had been closed.Since he doubted that his sisters would have been stupid enough to leave the door wide open even after they disobeyed him,Adam was certain that someone else must have left the door open.He had already put his sword back into the orb before moving from the side of the house.His head jerked swiftly to the side when he caught the barest hint of breathing outside the house.But he didn’t see anything.He couldn’t hear the footsteps of the four remaining guards, as he had been hearing them earlier too.“Oh fuck,” he muttered beneath his breath as he approached the door.Knowing fully well that he was walking into a trap, Adam entered the house.There was no one around as he entered.A sudden moment behind him made him turn back.A guard shut
Missy screeched as she came rushing downstairs.“Prince! Prince… I am scared. I…”“Get back upstairs, you dunce!" Adam commanded as he punched a zombie's face in and slashed another with his other hand.She ignored him and dove among the guards to get to the prince.Adam quickly blocked the path of a zombie that was about to go up the stairs.He turned back as Missy yelled.The prince had used her to block a zombie that was about to bite him.He tossed her to the zombie, and the latter promptly sank its rotten teeth into her.Missy’s high-pitched screams mingled with the snarls of the zombies as they surrounded her and bit her to ribbons.Adam couldn’t get to her on time, nor did he put in any effort to.Not when he was trying to make sure that the zombies couldn’t get upstairs.The zombies kept coming.Adam had no idea how they had come from the main part of the town to the remote area of the Troys’ mansion.At the moment, he couldn’t be bothered to think much.The prince’s guards we
As it happened, not all the women stayed upstairs while the men did the gruesome work. Some of the men went outside to dig the grave where the dead bodies would be buried. Soon enough, Adam’s sisters rushed down the staircase. “Adam!” Nina screamed in joy as she rushed to hug him tightly. Adam was drenched with blood and smelled like he needed to be bathed from the inside out, yet his sister didn’t mind as she hugged him tightly like her life depended on it. “Glad you did not die,” Lisa said as she thumped him lightly on the shoulder. Nina sobbed into his neck, and Lisa looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Oh, mother of God,” Adam said, looking up to see his mother coming down the stairs with his father right behind her. “Mum?” Adam said this as Nina stepped back from him. “I told everyone to stay upstairs. This is not a place for you.” Nina finally took notice of the bodies remaining on the floor. She swayed, and Lisa grabbed her before she could faint to the floor. “Come
The house was shrouded in grief. Even the kids seemed remorseful about the death of a baby they never got to know. “Poor baby,” Nina said as she sniffled into her bundled lab coat. “Poor baby survived that long only to die in the hands of a ninny,” Lisa said. Anger was evident in her tone. Anger at the wasteful death that could have been prevented if the situation had turned out differently. “I always knew that girl had a few wires crossed differently in her. Still, even I wouldn’t have believed her capable of this,” Marriane said in a forlorn voice, with her eyes on the direction of the back door. The back door opened and closed. Nina stood immediately from where she sat. She went straight to Adam, who was still in his soiled clothes. “Is it done? Did you at least give her the name?” she asked as more tears flooded down her face. “I did. I did,” Adam said quietly as he held her shoulder and led her back to the others. Adam was suddenly tired. It was not just physical tire
Adam couldn’t bring himself to stay around the others as he entered.His thoughts were tumbling over each other as he nodded slightly at his mother when she said,“It is not your fault, son.”He looked at his dirt-streaked clothes, hands, and feet as if he had no idea who they belonged to.Then he turned towards the staircase.He entered the room where he had found Jasmine and just stared at the blood stain on the white chrome, like it had a life of its own.“Want me to clean that up for you?” He heard a voice behind him.“I told you to be gone,” he snapped as he turned back to face Layla, who was leaning against the door jamb.She raised her brows nonchalantly as she said, “Technically, you said by the time you came out of the bath. From the look of things, you have not started yet.”“And you want to help me?” Adam said automatically.He just wanted her to go away.He wanted everyone to leave him alone for one damn minute!Jasmine had opened his eyes to the fact that everything he wa
“Are you seriously going to consider letting her stay with us after what she did? I say we kick her ass out.” Lisa said immediately Adam came out of the room. Adam had heard noises in the house while he was in the bathroom. From the look on Lisa’s face, he could tell what the noise had been about. “Not now, Lisa,” he said slowly as he stood there on the landing. He still didn’t feel like joining the rest yet. The smell of eggs got to him, but instead of feeling hungry, he only felt nauseous. He knew he was supposed to talk to them. To boost morale, or whatever the hell was expected of him. Even if none of them had officially stated it, he was seen as a kind of leader now. Adam had no idea how he had gone from being a lowly messenger to being a man responsible for about fifty people. All he knew was that he just wanted some time to himself. Maybe Layla was right after all. It had been so damn long since he had been with a woman. Ana had made it clear long ago that she wou
Adam felt reborn anew!“Pfft, that is an exaggeration,” he muttered to the silent ceiling as he stretched languorously on the bed.With a smile on his face, he looked around at the rumpled sheets at the edge of the bed.“Sorry, buddy. Three bouts of sex would do that to you,” he muttered with a silly grin on his face.As the morning light seeped into the room, Adam felt like singing.He felt lightweight, as if most of the burdens that had been holding him down had rolled away.“A good fuck would do that to you,” his subconsciousness muttered cheekily.Adam couldn’t deny the fact, though.That was a good fuck indeed.The girl had been fucking good with her mouth, her waist, and her strength.The first time had been like heaven.Adam had no idea that his body was so starved of intimacy until she touched him.Right then and there, he almost embarrassed himself by pouring right into her hands.She sent him a knowing smirk and made him lie down before she started her slow, torturous minist
Adam was feeling damn hungry by the time he came out of the bathroom.Reminded of the need to get more food before they run out of the ones they have, Adam got dressed to join the others.Plans needed to be made.He pulled open the door, and just as he was about to close it, his eyes caught on something towards the other end of the room.It was a radio.Adam turned back as a thought came to him.“So, that was what that was about?”“Huh?” Adam asked incomprehensibly as he turned to face Lisa’s furious face.“What was…”“So you wanted her to stay because you two were fucking? After all she did?” his sister tossed at him.She couldn't mean what he thought she meant, could she?“What are you talking about?”“Oh, don’t bother to deny it, brother, dear brother. Everyone fucking heard you last night. Mum too”“Oh sh*t," Adam muttered.“Oh sh*t indeed. Why would you want to do the nasty with such a piece of sh*t, Adam? You don’t even know the whore!”“Okay, Lisa. that was uncalled for. Don’t
