"Rachel, don't sleep. We need to leave here. We both know the only reason Derek is keeping us alive is to make your brother come here and rescue you. We need to find a way out ourselves." Mark spoke slowly, his eyes darting around the room. Their number was dwindling by the day, with the zombie soldiers coming day and night for their meals. "What do we do? There is literally nothing wrong we can do from here." Rachel replied, getting tired. They haven't been well fed in days, and it was zapping them off energy.

Some of the captives were lying tired on the ground, and they didn't have the strength to fend off the zombie soldiers when they came for them. "We both know Derek liked you when he was still human, and I am sure some part of him still feels the same." Mark said, slowly looking at her face.

" What? What are you really asking of me?" Rachel asked, not getting Mark's point. "What I meant was that maybe you could get close enough to kill him. We could escape if Detek is dead."

    Ethan rose up, and his eyes darted around. The bullet fell off his head, and he felt something in his system. He felt powerful and light-headed. Ethan heard Clara's noise and rushed towards where the noise was coming from. He flung Darren against the iron door, and he landed hard on the floor. "What just happened?" Johnny asked, looking at Ethan, who was also staring at his hand. "Yes, you just tossed him like he was nothing. What the hell happened to you?" Johnny said, looking at him. "I don't know; there is no time to explain. Take Clara and wait for me outside. It is time to settle some old scores." Ethan said it with anger. Johnny took Clara by the arm and knocked her out of the place. Darren's bone cracked as he got up from the ground. He looked at Ethan and noticed there was life in him. "How did you do that?" He asked, looking at Ethan from a distance. "Do what? You honestly think you can kill me? I am no match for you, and it is high time you give up." Ethan said with a smir

    Ethan's eyes glowed as he saw a map and a beeping red dot right in front of him. He drove faster each time he saw flashes of what had been done to Mark and Rachel."Do you think I will ever love you? Take a look at yourself, and you will see that you are nothing but a flesh-eating monster." Rachel shouted at Derek, who was seated across the table, eating. Derek dropped the bone he was holding and looked at Rachel. "Bring her closer." He beckoned to one of the men who was closer to her."DDo you know I haven't killed you yet?" He flashed his eyes, looking at Mark, who was shivering, seeing the skulls of many known faces. Some of them were rotting, while others snarled at his face. They had some of their body parts cut off. Mostly eaten as Mark looked at the meat Derek was eating. "I don't need to know a reason why you haven't killed me. You should know how much I loathe you by now." Rachel barked "Do I need to make myself clearer than this?" Derek looked at the soldiers, and they imm

    Rachel laid on the bed with her hands tied together. She was feeling more angry than ever, but she knew too well. She cannot overpower Derek. She couldn't when he was human, but now that he was a super zombie soldier, it was going to be more difficult. She remembered how Mark's head had rolled to her feet and the look of horror he had on his face. Tears now glowed freely, and she felt Mark had died due to her inability to accept what Derek said. The door opened, and Derek walked in. "Don't tell me you are still crying over that little scene back there. "His death was on you anyway," Derek said, taking off his clothes. He looked at Rachel, who was now in her undies and pants. He bit his lower lips, even making Rachel shriek. "Don't worry, once I plant my little babies inside of you, then you won't hate me anymore." "Please, I don't want this. Can you just let me be your servant? I will work out my days trying to please you." Rachel was pleased, with tears streaming down her face. "

    "Fan out! Make sure you bring them before me!" Derek shouted at his men, who were shaking already. Most of them know how he can be. Derek was a man of action; he was talkless. "Make sure you turn the whole place. They must be here somewhere." Thomas commanded Thomas was just like Derek himself, but both were of different characters. While Derek was a man of action, Thomas was a man of principle and wouldn't tolerate a job not well done. The men immediately fanned out and started to search. Clara walked past the dimly lit lamps, and each time she hid away to avoid being seen. "Celine!" She calls her sister's name gently each time the door creaks open. Johnny, on the other hand, went from room to room, but most were empty. He wonders why there were so many rooms when they weren't used. Suddenly, he heard a snarl and immediately hid in the shadow. "Do you think the community is infiltrated?" One of the men asked as they walked past Johnny. "I don't know; we all heard the blast." The

    "Help! Somebody help me!" Rachel shouted, hoping someone could hear her voice and come to her aid. She twitched on the bed several times, trying to break free from the rope she was tied to. The door opened slowly, and Derek walked in. "Why are you shouting? Do you think anyone would be able to save you?" He said he was taking off his shirt. Rachel opened her eyes in horror; this was it. She was going to be raped against her will, and not only that, she was going to bear the son or daughter of a zombie. The thought terrified her, and she shouted even more. Derek walked to the bed and landed a heavy slap on her face. He was having an off night. "You do know you don't need to be human before I have my way with you," he said, slowly unbuckling his belt. "I want a human to mother my children, and you are the one that I have chosen. You should be happy to be the first human to mother a superhuman zombie." Derek chuckled as he licked Rachel's face. Rachel closed her eyes and felt like vo

    Ethan looked up, and he stood up slowly from Derek. "Get Clara out of here." He ordered, looking at Rachel. "I am now leaving you." Rachel said she looked a bit scared. " Now!" Ethan shouted, and his eyes changed colors. Rachel felt scared; she had never seen that color of his eye before. "Do you think they can get away from here? Run away from my armies. You don't want to know what I am capable of?" Derek said he was getting up to his feet. "Get him!" The two zombies ran towards Ethan; they both grabbed him and tossed him out of the window. Rachel and Clara took to their heels when they saw what was going on. "He can take care of himself." Clara said, looking at Rachel, who was stopping each time to take a look at her brother.Ethan growled softly, his skin tearing from the graze of the glasses he crashed into. Blood flowed from the wound as he got up to look at the two zombies.Ethan's eyes blazed with fierce intensity as he gazed at the two zombies. His wounds seemed to fuel his

    Ethan asked Johnny to release all the hostages and have them lined up outside. He looked at the cages of the gone-rogue humans who had been bitten by Derek. It was obvious there was something wrong with them. "What do we do about them?" Clara asked "We burned them alive." Ethan replied coldly and walked away.Rachel looked at him and wondered what had changed about the brother he once loved. Grabbing a tourch and a gasoline can, Ethan poured it over the cages and threw the torch at them. The loud snarl of the zombies was heard as they burned. Ethan walked out to meet some of the men and women waiting for him. "They all looked tired and hungry. What do we do?" Johnny asked "What do you mean by that? I am not responsible for every man and woman right here. They are all free to make their own decisions. They either stay or leave." Ethan said it with a sad face. He still couldn't forgive himself for the death of his best friend, Mark. The people looked at him as he walked away. "You

    "Did you hear that?" Rachel looked at Ethan, and they both ran towards the camp. "What is happening?* Ethan asked with a cloth over his face. "She is about to give birth." Clara said, pointing at the woman in labor. "Is there a doctor in the house?" Ethan shouted, and everyone looked at him. They wondered why he was trying to help when all he wanted was to be left alone. "Is there a doctor in the house?" He shouted again. A man walked forward. "Yes, I am a doctor, Kennedy. Please, let me take a look at her." He said he was slowly accessing the situation. "I am sorry, but we need a serene atmosphere, and I need equipment to work with." Kennedy looked at Ethan." What? This is a soldier's barrack and not a hospital. Can't you make do with anything?" Ethan asked "I am sorry, Mr. Ethan, but it doesn't work that way. I need a clean environment to work in, and again, everyone needs to stay clear. We don't know who is infected with bacteria or is having the bite." Ethan looked at the wom

"We need to go now! We are not having enough time to save her. The system. gave me just four days." Ethan said sweating. "The system? what system?" Barnet asked, looking at Zack, who was also confused. "What are you talking about, soldier boy?" Barnet asked, forcing the words out of his mouth.

    The loud, desperate shout of Selena could be heard as she batted the monster on her own. "Leave her!" Ethan tried to speak, but the sharp pain he felt at the back of his head was too much. His vision was blurry as he got to his feet. He wanted to have a go at this monster, but then he couldn't. He fell to the ground and passed out.After what felt like eternity, Ethan felt like he was being rebooted. His eyes slowly flickered open, and he looked around. "Where the hell am I?" He said slowly, trying to look around. He noticed he couldn't move. Ethan tried to force himself out of the chair he sat on, but he couldn't. He needed some time to gather his strength. He remembered what happened, and the thought of what might have happened to Selena was all he could think about. The door opened, and Barnet walked in. "Ah, I can see you are awake. I treated your wounds," he said, slowly dragging a seat towards Ethan's front. Ethan said nothing but simply stared at him; he remembered their last

    "You lost them? You lost them!" Benjamin shouted at one of the soldiers and gunned him down. "I went through the streets capturing the doctor. I did your jobs for you, and what did you do? You blew it right in my fave." "We are going to bring them back alive, Colonel." One of the soldiers said again"I don't know how you are going to do it, but I need the doctor back alive. I don't care about the zombie man now. What we need is the serum, and we need to stop with these failed experiments." Benjamin shouted One of the doctors entered, his clothes soiled with human blood. "What is the progress?" Benjamin gave his final orders to his men and walked towards the man whose face showed he was scared of telling Benjamin what the outcome of his work was. "I am sorry, Ben. I think we might need the ersuk after all. Is Selena here yet?" "How dare you ask me that when you cannot even get me what I want? Are you telling me that Selena is more important and knowledgeable than you?" Ben shouted,

    Jared's mind raced as Paul’s words echoed in his ears. He felt the weight of Benjamin’s command, but the temptation to solidify his power was gnawing at him. Kennedy represented a symbol of resistance, a hope for the community to cling to, and that was dangerous. Yet, Benjamin had been clear about maintaining order, not spilling unnecessary blood. If he went against Benjamin's orders, he might find himself in a worse position than Kennedy. He needed to play this smart. Jared turned to the rest of the soldiers still stationed around the community. “Listen up!” he barked. “We’ll follow Benjamin’s orders to the letter. We keep the peace, maintain control, and we don’t do anything without me saying so. Am I understood?” The soldiers nodded, but Jared could see doubt in some of their eyes. They had all seen Benjamin’s ruthlessness; they knew what he was capable of. Jared knew that to them, he was just another soldier, easily replaceable if he stepped out of line. He needed to gain their

    The loud gunshot woke Ethan up. He looked beside him and saw Rachel bleeding to the floor. "No, no!" He shouted, running towards his sister, but the soldiers had him pinned down. "Please, just this once. Give me a new mission. Please save her!" Ethan shouted like a madman. Many of the onlookers didn't know who he was talking to or what he was saying. Rachel gasped for breath as she looked at Ethan. "I am sorry, big brother; I didn't mean to be hostile towards you. I just...I just..." She was about to utter another word when life slowly left her body. Ethan looked up, and his eyes glowed blue. "Do you give the serum to him? Is that why he is special, different?" Benjamin shouted at Selena. "No, I didn't. I don't have the serum. You need to believe me." She begged "Do I need to kill him before you understand? Is that what you really want?" Benjamin said with a smirk. The community was silent, and if a pin had dropped, they would have heard the sound. "Bring me that man." Jared walke

    "You don't have to do this." Kennedy shouted as Benjamin was about to shoot him in the head. "She is here, and I will lead you right to her." He pleaded "See, that wasn't so hard after all." Benjamin said with a smirk as he trailed after Kennedy, who was now shaking like a jellyfish. The door to the room burst open. Kennedy eyes scanned the room for Rachel and Whitmore. "Are you playing some game with me, boy?" Benjamin shouted, his voice laced with anger. Before Kennedy would say a word, he was shot in the knee. The loud groan of Kennedy could be heard. "Last chance, where is she?" Benjamin scowled "She is... she is supposed to be here. I swear, please." Kennedy knelt down crying. "Where the hell is she?" Benjamin looked around. "You need to run or else they are going to kill you." Rachel looked at Whitmore in the eyes. 'Besides, is your name Whitmore? That doesn't sound like a feminine name." "You can call me Selena. Whitmore is a family name. Is it going to leave your brother

    Clara knocked her arrow and shot one of the men down. "Did you see that?" Zack shouted with surprise. "She didn't even knock an arrow." He shouted with a frightened look on his face. "Do you think I care? They just knocked down one of my men, and all you could do is stand there and watch." Barnet shouted" Attack!" He shouted at his men, and they ran forward with their guns in the air. "Hold! Hold!!" Ethan shouted as the men looked at his forehead orders. Barnet's men ran forward, and Ethan shouted, "Loose." Arrows were seen flying in the sky as Barnet's men fell down one by one as they were struck by the arrows. They began to fire at Ethan and his men too, but they were saved by the tall walls and the barricades they had right in front of him. The battle was heated as both sides began to lose more men to the battle. Bullet was flying around, and arrows were also flying in different directions. Suddenly, Rachel was hit by a bullet and she fell down. "Go down and join Johnny. You wi

    "I am not sure, Ethan. My superior had always done things behind my back, giving me little or no room to experiment at all. I was only called on to clean or pack up once they are done." Whitmore looked at Ethan in the eye. "So how did you know all of this stuff you are talking about? Did you read them in some books or what?""You ask so many questions, Ethan. Are you going to help me with what I said or not?" Whitmore looked at him. "Let's just get over this, and we would discuss how we can get the virus." Ethan walked out of the lab and into the main street. The street was silent as many of the citizens were indoors. An announcement was passed around and asking all of them to stay. Ethan had instructed the men to alert him if there was anything that was out of place. "IIt been two days, Ethan. What is this part of your plan to be accepted by the community? Really?" Kennedy looked at him with anger. "Do you honestly think I am making this up? I know what I have seen and what I hea

    Ethan pushed the gate with all his strength since I wouldn't allow him in. The soldier tried to shoot at him, but he managed to dodge the bullets. Many of the community members came outside to witness what was happening. "What is the meaning of this madness?" Kennedy shouted as he walked out into the main street. "Cease fire!" He shouted at the men. "You need to be ready. They are coming." Ethan shouted as everyone looked at him like a deranged man. "Don't you hear me? I said they were coming." He repeated himself. "And who are they?" Kennedy looked at his face, trying to make a fool out of him.Doctor Whitmore walked through the crowd, trying to catch a glimpse of what was happening. She stood transfixed when she saw Ethan. Her heart is beating gently against her rib cage. "You are back." She said it softly as she ran forward to hug him. Many people were surprised and wondered how she could feel free around the monster. "If you are not going to believe me, you need to at least fort
