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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 73 - Parents' Worst Nightmare
Adam could have broken down the door.But then he thought of the fact that they would need the door locked that night if they were staying there.So he ran to the back.There was a key left in the lock, so he hurriedly opened it and rushed towards the van.Layla was talking to his parents.Adam changed directions and rushed to where they were.“What is it? Are they here again?” Marriane asked anxiously.“What? Who? No!” Adam answered as he looked from his parent's expressionless face to Layla's.“What was she telling you?” he asked.“That you wanted us to stay here for the night?” Lisa answered while looking from Layla to Adam. "Was she lying? Is something wrong?""No, nothing. Oh, yes. We can stay here for now. We will leave as early as possible tomorrow morning. There are things to eat inside too,” Adam answered.“Good, let me help your mother inside,” Caleb said as he urged his wife up from where she was perched.“What the hell do you think you are doing?” Adam muttered heatedly to
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 74 - Not A Dream
Ryan and Carlisle did the honours.Adam couldn’t bring himself to shoot Nina, even though he knew there was nothing of her left in the snarling beast eager to claw his brains out.Ryan did the shooting.Together with Carlisle, he organized men to dig graves on the patch of land behind the rest areas.The two bodies were buried there.It was long past midnight before they finished.The rest area was as quiet as a graveyard when they came in.Though a few people, mostly kids, were asleep, nobody could muster enough energy and enthusiasm to say anything.Lisa and Layla were sitting away from the others. Layla’s arms were wrapped around Lisa’s as she shuddered lightly from time to time.Caleb had a faraway look on his face as he held his unconscious wife.Marriane was out for most of the night.Just as dawn was approaching, she woke up groggily.The first thing she said was, “It wasn’t a dream, was it?”Caleb shook his head dejectedly.Marriane looked over at Lisa, who was staring listle
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 75 - A Father's Duty
Marriane wouldn’t stop apologising to Yoshi.She was the one who grabbed Yoshi and stopped him from leaping to his death.The boy’s whitened face had stared mutedly at her as she apologised over and over again.Tears ran down her face until mucus from her nose joined it yet she seemed not to be able to stop herself from apologising.No amount of pacification from Caleb could stop her.She was alternatively apologising to Yoshi and to Nina.“My baby, I am sorry,” she would say suddenly, then clutch Yoshi to her side to apologise again.At long last, she fell asleep.Right next to Yoshi, who had slept beside her.She refused to eat anything all day, despite Adam and Caleb’s persuasion.“This would affect her health more,” Caleb said after staring out into the night for minutes after his wife fell asleep.Adam had nothing to say.He had no consolation to give because he was dealing with his own grief as well.Still, he said, “She is a strong woman. She…”“She is a woman who just lost her
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 76 - Circle Of Light
A scream pierced through the night. “Everybody, get the hell out!" Adam heard a commanding voice yell from the front. The van had stopped. “Get down now or I swear I would shoot your fucking head off!" “What?! What is going on? Are they here? Oh my God, Nina,” Marriane cried in a disoriented state as the noise woke her up. That pissed Adam off more than the uncertainty of what was happening. “Calm down, mom. They are not here.” “Well, someone certainly is!” Marriane snapped. She looked from side to side in wide-eyed terror as a high beam of torches pierced through the surroundings, illuminating the three vehicles. Another gunshot rang out before Adam could react. Marriane screamed. “They are coming for us! They took my daughter and now they are coming for us!” “Dad, please calm her down. Just stay here. Let me check this out," Adam said as he wondered who the bastards outside are. “No! No! No!” Marriane clung to his arm just as he was about to get out of the car. “No, s

The bullet slid down the erect sword.Then the sword fell down beside Adam innocently."Did you see that?"“It was just there!”“I swear it was standing on its own.”“What sorcery is this?”Adam heard people whisper around him.His ears still rang with the booming sound.“Adam?! Adam for God’s sake! Don’t die too!” Lisa’s voice pierced through the ringing in his ears.A familiar scent enveloped him before a dainty hand held his shoulder and turned him over.The scent became more pronounced as she moved closer to him.Her hands patted all over his body rapidly, like she was searching for something.She mustn’t have noticed that her fingers brushed his dick but his dick noticed alright.She let out a sigh as she said, “I thought you were dead for sure this time. Glad to see that I am wrong.”Adam opened his eyes as fast as his thundering head would allow.Layla was staring down at him with a small, relieved smile on her face.Their eyes held for a fleeting moment before Lisa dropped bes
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 78 - Big Muscles, Little Brain
He looked at Layla “You are one mean bitch, you know.”“You want another demonstration?” Layla asked calmly.“You will speak properly to the lady, Dixon,” Adam said without raising his voice.“Oh yeah?” Dixon sneered as he turned towards Adam.He reconsidered his initial intention when he saw the guns that Layla and Ryan pointed at him.Still, he said, “Who made you the captain of the ship, boy?”“You will find out soon enough if you don’t keep a decent tongue in your head, Dixon,” Adam said emphatically.When Dixon finally understood that the dynamics of power had changed, he shut his mouth.Adam then asked, “What was your plan for getting these people out of here? Just staying around and attacking others who just want to survive like you?”Dixon’s face was twisted in derision.He was about to make a derogatory comment when Layla cleared her throat and adjusted the gun in her hand with a meaningful look pinned at him.“You wouldn’t shoot me,” he bluffed.“Wanna bet?” Layla asnwered s
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 79 - Fur In The Woods
They had to clear the narrow path a bit in order to get the bus and van to the camp.It was not much but it was serviceable at best.Made with logs, ropes, and tree barks, they have three tents altogether.The sturdiest of them was one whose pillars are tree trunks.There were four trees situated closely together.There was enough space in the middle to accommodate up to three people, so they used tree branches to make the sides.Tied to the tree trunks with sinewy ropes, the branches were used to fashion a sort of roof as well.Slopy and uneven, it still did the job with big, hardened barks.The other two were not so formidable and looked like something that a good wind would blow over anytime soon.Still, the young girl crawled right under one of them immediately.“This is actually genius. How did you come about this?” Adam asked in admiration.“It was most of his ideas, you know. Said he was a ranger,” Shelly said with a nod towards Dixon.Dixon saw Shelly and Adam looking over at
