THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 65 - Semblance of Familiarity
“They are treating this like they were going on a goddamn trip!”Adam told Marriane when she called him aside to talk to him.Adam was about to lose his temper with the people before she called him aside, saying that she would like to have a talk with him.“You can’t really blame them,son,” Marriane said as she gestured to the kitchen stool for him to sit on.“I am fine,” Adam stated instead and he stood looking out of the window.His eyes went straight in the direction of the place where they buried the baby but he kept his mind away from the disturbing thoughts of her.“Do they not understand how serious this is? After all those deaths, they still do not understand how serious this is." Adam asked no one in particular, still looking out through the window.“Of course they know. They do know. They are scared, too. That is why they are clinging to things that bring them comfort. A semblance of familiarity,” she explained gently.“But they must know that they can’t just expect to bring
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 66 - Because Of That
It was strange but he could smell her from where he was seated.Not just her fresh scent but what she smelled liked when she was all heated up and wrapped around him.She closed the door and leaned against it.The smirk on her face was not helping his reaction to her at all.So he snapped at her.“In case you didn’t notice, I want to be alone. If you want... more action, you will have to get it elsewhere."The smirk on her face was gone instantly. “Wow, confident much? You think I am here to jump your bones when your mom just gave me a look I don’t understand? I am sure your sister must be lurking somewhere right now just to jump out and call me a whore again."That got Adam’s attention. “She called you that?”“Do I look like I need your sympathy?” She fired back. “I only came here to ask if I could handle the van when we are moving tomorrow.”“I don’t…”“I am a seasoned driver with a license, in case you want to know. I can drive that badass better than anyone here. That includes y
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 67 - The Lord's Protection
Nina was the last person to come down the stairs.She held Bo tightly to herself with a harried look on her face.Bo was letting out growling sounds in his throat.When Yoshi tried to reach for him, he snapped his teeth at the boy.Adam remembered the sound he heard the night before.“What is wrong with him?” he asked.“I think it is the wound. Mom said it was not infected but he has not been himself since then,” Nina said with worry on her face.Bo, at the moment, was sniffing at Nina’s neck.Adam felt apprehensive for a moment because of the jerky motions of the dog but then the dog turned his head away again.And for a moment, all seemed fine with him.“I just hope he won’t be a problem for us on the road. We need as little noise as possible. If he will be growling all the way like that..."“No, we can’t leave him here!” Nina said decisively, as she held Bo closer to herself.Bo did that sniffing thing again and the growl in his throat began.Adam turned away with a shake of his he
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 68 - Best Revenge
Miles away from Maradoit, a jet with the name Walton emblazoned on its side heads in the direction of Maleny.In the lounge, Sybil and an unfamiliar young man sat in silence while the numerous bodyguards sat away from them.The young man’s hands were twitching as they opened and closed in a fist.“Calm down,” Sybil said without looking at the young man.“He will get what is coming to him. We will find him, and you will get your revenge,” she said as she turned towards him.“No punishment would be enough for that bastard,” the young man said in a familiar, hate-filled voice.“Oh?” Sybil said as she raised her eyebrows regally. “Should we go back then? I will tell..."“You know that was not what I meant. It took my uncle a while before he allowed me to come. And only on the condition that you come with me. He would never let me come back if we went back now.”“That is because he knew that I have more sense than you,” Sybil said arrogantly with a mocking smile. “Look what happened the la
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 69 - Zombie Dog
Adam was too late.Layla was pulling up front when he got to the bus.He almost got knocked out by the front door as Ryan jumped out with the gun at the ready.“The dog. It is tearing at her. It... Fuck! I can't shoot her!"Adam pulled the side door open.Those who seemed to have been frozen in place by shock quickly tried to rush out of the door, blocking Adam’s path.“Stay put!” Adam shouted as he nudged someone aside.“The dog is biting everybody, mommy!” A kid screamed.Adam’s eyes were on his sister.She was pinned down by Bo.The dog was biting her over and over again, while Lisa was hitting it with everything she could get her hands on.Neck pillow she grabbed from someone.A kid’s game toyAnything at all!“He won’t let go!” She was screaming over and over again, tears streaming down her face as she grabbed random things to hit Bo with.The dog stayed glued to Nina, tearing at her throat!“Bo!” Adam shouted as he nudged Lisa aside.The dog turned his bloody face toward Adam.S
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 70 - Ongoing Feud
The man rose in the same distorted way that Adam had seen too many times already.“Oh fuck!” Adam muttered as he raised his sword.Before he could slice the man, though, the latter slumped to the floor and lay still.“What the…” A thud and another scream from Lisa made Adam turn towards the back.Nina was on the floor as well.She lay as still as the man on the floor.“What is going on?” he asked no one in particular.“I don’t know!” Lisa shouted with her eyes still fixed on Nina.Her bloodied hands were shaking as she continued, “One moment, she was... she was... changing into one of those things! And now... now she is like that!” She said hysterically.Adam looked toward Sophia.Wide-eyed and blood-stained as well, she merely nodded.“I don’t understand it,” she muttered almost to herself. “The dog bit her. The dog is…”“I need you two to go outside. Go outside now and get Mom here.”“But…”“Just go, Lisa,” Adam said hastily.She nodded without hesitation and went outside with Sop
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 71 - Not Enough Time.
“What are you going to do?"Lisa whispered to Adam.She had asked the same question multiple times already.And Adam still had only one answer: “I will think of something.”“But…”“Lisa, you will wake her up,” Caleb said from behind.Adam had no idea how he could remain so calm.He supposes a man of his dad's age and experience has had enough time to master the art of patience.Adam couldn’t relate.At the moment, he felt like railing at the world.He felt like getting out of the car and slashing every single zombie he could see into ribbons.He felt like he should check on Nina and ask her if the rope was too tight.He would have loved to ask her how she was feeling.What did the sickness feel like?He would have liked to ask the universe why Nina couldn’t have the same luck that he had.Instead, he drove.He drove as thoughts ran through his mind.He drove as his mother remained unconscious in the back while Jeremy held the vial and his father administered what was needed.He drove
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 72 - Better Than The Alternative
The girl was not on the bus! When the road was wide enough for Adam to overtake the bus without using the horn, He signaled to Carlisle to stop the bus. The search was quick and the result was disheartening. The kid was not on the bus! A wild guess made them check the van as well but she was not there. Instead, something more shocking was discovered. The skin tone of Nina and the man was changing. It is more grayish than fair at the moment. They were both snapping and snarling as the van door was opened. There was no longer any doubt about their fates. “Tough luck,” Layla said as she stared at Nina. “Mind your fucking business!” Adam snapped at her. He shut the van door tightly and turned away from her. “I was not being a bitch, you know. She was nice to me,” she said as she followed Adam to where the others were. They had seen a drive-in rest area right after Carlisle confirmed that the girl was not in the bus. The rest area was deserted yet it looked intact. At least
