THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 86 - Innocent Bomb
Layla groaned weakly from the cot.Her eyes rolled back in her head as she tried to catch Adam’s eyes.Was she telling him to do it?Adam was not about to be forced to sleep with a dying person.Not by a little bitch who wouldn’t dare stand up to him if not for her father’s money.Before he could stop himself, he blurted out, "No.”Surprise registered on Sybil’s face for an instance, followed by rage.“You brought this on yourselves!” she said, cocking the gun.“Sybil, you are not really going to shoot her, are you? Uncle…”“Shut up! Just shut the fuck up, you wimp! I am in charge here!”Adam wished he could have his sword with him at that moment.While the silly twit was distracted, he could have fought his way out.“But…”“I say…argh!”“Sybil! What…what did you do to her??Adam was as shocked as Seth was.The sword had worked with Adam's thoughts again.It was a deadly connection this time.The sword pierced through Sybil’s chest, sticking her to the glass as it tried to force its w
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 87 - Keeping Hope Alive
“They would be fine,” Sophia tried to reassure Marriane.Marriane looked at her vaguely and nodded.She muttered her thanks and told Sophia to get some rest too.Sophia could tell that the woman was just humouring her; she had stopped believing her words hours after a whole day had passed and there was no sign of her son.Lisa nodded slightly at her in greeting as they passed each other while Sophia was on her way out of the tent.Sophia continued on her way but then she turned back as Lisa whistled at her.Lisa took her aside and said nothing.The young lady wrung her hands.Turned away.Then turned back to Sophia.“They are going to be fine,” Sophia said automatically.She had a good idea of what Lisa might be agitated about, after all.“How can you even say that? How can you be so... sure? So…calm? After what happened to Nina?”“I am not sure of anything,” Sophia admitted. “I just know that we have to keep hope alive. Have a little faith.”“Yeah?” Lisa said testily, “Nina was all a
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 88 - Not Bitten, Were You?
“I told y’all that this was a mistake, didn’t I?"Dixon snapped at Carlisle.The sting was taken out of his words, though, because all he could do was whisper.“Yes, you said it. A thousand times already and I can assure you that if I hear it one more time, I am going to make you choke on those words.”Dixon shook his head and muttered, "Joker.”Carlisle ignored him.Dixon wanted to talk but he quickly shut his mouth as well.The reason was not far-fetched.Snarls and shuffling feet resounded in the alley where they were.Cramped together in a plastic drum originally used for oilDrenched in black blood and reeking of God knows what, it was a miracle that they were not choking on their bile at the moment.When the snarl moved away, Dexter looked over at Carlisle in the waning light.He looked away, then he asked anyway.“Are you sure you were not bitten?”Carlisle was silent for a while, then he answered.“There is only one way to find out, isn’t it?”“Don’t you mess with..."“Now!”
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 89 - The Temptation
“Scout everywhere! Find that bastard!"Adam dragged the dead weight of Layla’s unconscious body behind him as he tried to swim with one hand.He dove under the water and held his breath as the whirring blade of the helicopter came close to where he was.Praying that he didn’t pass out or kill Layla in the process, he waited patiently until the light passed where they were.“Check there! Check everything well. He shouldn’t have gone far! Master would have our heads if we did not bring the culprit to him!”Adam gasped as he came to the surface.He breathed in deeply as he lifted Layla’s head above the water.He thought he felt her shiver but he couldn’t be sure.Shivering had been the norm for her in the past few days.After a better check, he realized that the water around had not been a river after all.It was a constructed moat.He had heard of rich people building houses with a big body of water surrounding them as protection or decoration.Adam had never really seen one in person.
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 90 - The Girl He Saved
Layla was going in and out of consciousness.Adam hoped she would not die on him before he could finally get those people off his back.Though he had no idea how he would do that, he was hopeful.He couldn’t come all this way to die in a self-constructed body of water!The momentary frustration and anger propelled him and he raised his head out of the water again.He quickly did the same with Layla’s head.“Come on, girl, don’t die on me,” he muttered as he tried to keep her head above water while trying to swim forward.It was a starless night and the pitch-black surroundings had worked favourably for him so far.Still, he hated the fact that the same darkness might swallow him up soon.The men were not relenting!The beam of the flashlights they were using to search for him seemed to have multiplied from the last time he had surfaced."If only I could just get out of the water without them seeing me."The ridiculous thought made him remember what had happened earlier.He had tried o
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 91 - In Full View
It did not take long for Adam to realise the reason why the men probably left!As he helped Layla along the rough path that led away from the moat,Something came to his mind and he froze.His phone!Adam had left his backpack in the car before Sybil’s invasion.But he brought his phone with him to the house.While Layla was still asleep, he had tried to call his family just to reassure them, but Lisa’s number was not going through.He was just about to call his dad when Layla stirred uncomfortably.Adam had dropped the phone on the headboard as he quickly checked on Layla.That was right before she woke up and asked for the water.The phone was right there in full view of whoever entered that room!“What is it?” Layla asked curiously when she saw his sudden pause.“My phone. I left it in that room.”“Oh shit!” Layla said, with her widened eyes on Adam’s.Adam could see that she was also having the same thoughts as him.“Maybe…Maybe it fell off and they wouldn’t see it?” she said hope
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 92 - The Barnhouse
"I promise to tell you later. Let's just leave here first. You said it yourself; we need to get to your family as soon as possible." Layla said in a beseeching tone. Adam didn’t believe her but he didn’t want to waste time arguing as well. He was tempted to just leave her right there to see if she would find her way or not. Still, he bent down for her to climb on his back again. “You…” His growl of anger shut her up immediately and she got on his back. Adrenaline pumped through his body as sweat mixed with the water from Layla’s pajamas. “I think you..." “Shut up!” Adam snapped as he fixed his gaze on the lone light they had been tracking for almost an hour now. Soon enough, Adam could see a slope go down from where they were. The sky was lightening up as well. Adam stopped suddenly, though he was still far from the light. He had thought they were going up a path because of the height of the light. He soon realised that the light was not coming from home. It was from a li
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 93 - Mind-link And Hot Irons
“Come with me!"Adam muttered as he got to her.He pulled her arm as he turned to run towards the side of the tin and brick home.He had already sported an opened window at the side of the barn-like house.He swore out loud when he saw her; it was one of those townhouse windows with burglary iron.“Shit!” he sneered as he saw more zombies lumbering towards them.He turned to face them but quickly remembered something.Hoping he was right, he turned the sword swiftly in his hands and turned it against the edges of the iron bars.The sword instantly heated.Then it started melting off the edges of the irons.“Well, glad that works. Now hurry up!” Layla said anxiously as she turned to shoot the approaching zombies.“Goddamn it! Look!” she swore with fright in her tone.Adam turned to look and he almost dropped the sword in panic.The barnhouse was on a slope close to the mountainous side that led to the lighthouse.From there, one could look down on the rest of the village.What Adam saw
