The Red Nights 9- Finding The Truth (part I)
"Undead?!!" Lina shouted in disbelief, making her voice resonate in the entire room, "how- how could that be possible? Even the day of the catastrophe wasn't that spooky, was it?" They were on the bed when Jamal was relating to her the weird and worrying phenomenon that happened during his last patrol and that had even caused him to end up in the hospital."I had the same reaction as you, although I think it is a bit of a reach to compare to the catastrophe of two years ago, I do admit they were quite hard to defeat," Jamal nodded then shrugged as he added, "in fact, their fighting skills alone were not anywhere impressive, I could easily take them down... however, it was their supernatural physical capabilities and the fact that they couldn't die which was problematic. The faster I kept killing the quicker they would come back, and the more they come back, the faster and stronger they would get".Lina imagined the scene as Jamal described it to her, [it could have been very awful if
The Red Nights 10- Finding The Truth (part II)
" OK it's done, " Jamal said after they finished chaining the five men, " as we decided, we will go to them one by one. It will be much easier to deal with them that way ". Natasha nodded and stayed back while Jamal was killing the first guy. After he pulled out his knife, he stepped back to wait for the 'resurrection' beside Natasha.Seconds later the corpse started to shake and with the same procedure as before it stood up. Dark veins rose from the man's chest to his chin, bulging, the skin started to turn white and his eyes changed to white and cloudy, like the eyes of a real dead body.The only difference between this scene and their previous experience was that Jamal didn't wait for the dead man to attack first. With incredible speed, he dashed forward towards him, cut his throat in a single swing, and moved aside to let Natasha finish him.With a single jump, she arrived just in front of the zombie man. Natasha knew that he was far to be completely dead, though he had his head t
The Red Nights 11- Matteo's dream
They gathered in Natasha's living room waiting for Matteo to open his eyes. They canceled all their activities of the day to know what Matteo discovered. Naturally, Jamal and Natasha didn't forget to recount to Lina all that happened in the morning patrol and their impressions of the odd dark cloud. Lina listened silently and attentively to all that they told her and waited for them to finish before she started to talk." It is quite worrying the fact that some of those monsters could think logically," she commented about that one undead who turned out to react wisely compared to the others who just used to go straight into the offense, were without thinking. "How were his fighting skills? Was he also stronger?""Not exactly he was only able to think wisely for the best basic strategy to defeat his opponent in one shot. However, his physical capacities were not so different from the others. To say the truth their strength, speed and reflexes were quite similar" Natasha responded. Onc
The Red Nights 12- Plan
"What do you think about that?" Jamal started looking for the opinions of the girls, he was leaning on a wall of the living room, his arms crossed, and was seriously looking at the small crowd before him."The first and most important information is quite obvious I think," Lina was the one to take the lead and responded, "an army of monsters is coming to us. We all recognized the wooden sculpture that is in the city Matteo was describing, it is the other half of our city, right? He was clearly referring to the statue of Abidal Woodstock the founder of the city".Natasha nodded affirmatively, "we can also infer that this mysterious shadow is responsible for this strange phenomenon," she stepped forward to expose her point, "when we interpret well, the scene with the bicolored crow, it seems like the people from the other half of the city were exposed to some kind of... virus, which causes them to transform into monsters when we kill them "."However, the main reason for all this is sti
The Red Nights 13- Sword Training
The day after the improvised meeting, as it has been discussed, Jamal woke up earlier than usual and went to prepare himself for the patrol. He went out of his apartment and headed to meet up with Natasha, who was already there before him at the rendezvous point, waiting for him."Hey! Good morning" She greeted him cheerfully."Hi, how are you today?" Jamal asked with a smile not half as cheerful as her."Honestly, I don't know. I'm very confused in my head. A mix of worry, excitement, laziness, anger, and some other feelings I'm too ashamed to reveal to you," she replied with too much honesty.Jamal smiled, "for now just focused on your anger, we will start with that and then we will see about the other feelings later". As he walked toward the direction of the barrier he waved his hand and told her "let's go, we should not lose too much of our time".They headed to the limit of the city. They made their daily surveillance duties along the barrier, however, since the sun had yet to ri
The Red Nights 14- When?
Lina went to Natasha's house to call Matteo. It was early in the morning but she knew that his boyfriend and Natasha were at that time watching the barrier, so there was no danger. She didn't need to knock at the door since she already had the double key to the house, she unlocked the door, opened it, and entered in.[I should just call him out] she thought, however, a funnier idea popped up in her mind, she smiled naughtily and went ahead to initiate her joke.It was one of Lina's codes to never waste any occasion to have fun. And one of her favorite sources of fun was teasing people around him or whoever they were, whether they were old or young she didn't care, she thought that she didn't have to mind too much since, in the end, they would come to know her and therefore they would eventually get used to her playful attitude. As to prove her right, that very trait of personality was one of the reasons people in Stainfall loved her so much, they liked the way she was always so cheerf
The Red Nights 15- A plate of Maafe
Lina and Matteo prepared to leave the office. After he revealed to her the supposed date when the army of undead would come to attack the city.Her reaction was surprising, or rather Matteo didn't expect such a reaction from her. When she heard the information, Lina just commented a few words before changing the subject. She began by trying to scout Matteo and bring him to her office so he could lend her a hand with the administrative matters as, according to her observation of him, she estimated that he was fully capable to take the job. Matteo initially turned her down but he later came to know that Lina can be very convincing when she wanted. After insisting a little more and giving him some irrefutable arguments, Matteo was cornered and couldn't do otherwise but accept helping her to finish all the work she had to do on that day.Lina was particularly happy since she came to leave the office earlier than usual.In fact that work was, a little bit, related to Matteo since it was a
The Red Nights 16- One Battle After Another
"Are you really serious?" Jamal asked Lina with a surprised tone.Lina remained with her fake innocent smile on her face when she responded "it is the crucial point of my plan. There is no way we could make it without that, and anyway, I don't know where is the problem with what I'm asking".She rose her sight to gaze at the three people in the living room while they were presenting their dumbfounded expressions on their faces. Jamal breathed in slowly and then took a low and calm voice when he started to respond, "Do you realize the scale of your request? You want me to go finish the wars in the neighboring cities all by myself".Indeed, when Lina started to expose her plan to defeat the army of the undead who was intending to come to destroy their dear Stainfall city in less than one week. She explained to them that before they looked for a way to handle the attack of the undead only on Natasha, who was the only one able to kill them definitively, they had to find out, at first, a w
