The government of Galaxy City, in collaboration with a military owned lab in the city, were working on a project that could help resurrect their valiant soldiers from the dead. So that they can continue playing their roles of defending the city from internal and external forces. After years of research by top scientists, they eventually came up with what they called a cure. At first, they were glad cause when they tested it on a dead soldier, he did came back to life but not as a soldier anymore. He came back as a flesh eating demon.

Chapter: Chapter 16
Major Mark and two other armed guards escorted me back to the room where I slept the other day. We took another way back to the room, that was when I realized how big this place is.I knew immediately that Major Mark took me past another route, he knew I would know how to find my way back there another day."You have thirty minutes to settle down, I need to show you around the Armory." Major Mark said immediately we got to my room."Noted" I replied not even turning to face him as I remove my boots.I heard the door close behind me before turning around. I brought out a piece of paper and a pen, using it to make a rough map of the building. I've been making rough sketches like this ever since I came here, and the map is now making sense.I don't trust Faceless. So, I have a plan B in case things turn shitty. I've disconnected the security camera ever since I came into this place, so it's difficult for them to monitor me.I already told F

" What the fuck do you mean by it was a test?" i asked in anger, this wasn't what I expected from Faceless, I thought he would just release the twins.I've not seen Clara ever since we were brought here, except for the time Faceless showed her to me on the screen." Well, we need to test your abilities and skills before sending you to the main deal" Anonymous replied" Oh well great, says those that call themselves god" I said coldly." Did you give Clara the dose you said you were gonna give her?" I asked" Yeah, I did and she's doing fine" he replied." And I would advice you to be calm and listen to what we have to say" he added " Your friends are at our mercy, so it would be best for you to stop acting tough" Anonymous said with a tone of seriousness." How am I sure about this? you gave orders for us to be abandoned and left to die in action, how do you expect me to trust you on this again?" " Like i said the other ti

"Richard" I felt a hand shaking me as I opened my eyes weakly to see the figure before me. Major Mark." How do you feel now? " he asked almost immediately I opened my eyes." I feel better" I said grunting as I tried to sit up on the small bed.My body aches all over due to the stress we went through, the previous night. My left lap hurts badly and I took a glance at it. I noticed it was covered with Band-Aids and and wondered where the wound came from.I couldn't remember anything that led to such injury during our mission yesterday. Well, shit happens during a fight, I shrugged it off with this thought.Major Mark looked at me with a weird smile on his face and I shot him an angry look." Where the fuck were you guys yesterday?" I asked as I now remember all that happened."Doing what I was supposed to do" he replied"Like

We kept shooting the infected as they staggered towards us in their numbers. Smith and I held the frontline while Austin backed us up with Lorenzo shooting from his Ar-15. "I'm out" Smith said swapping his rifle with a Colt pistol from his holster. "Ar-15 mag." I called at Austin and he threw a full magazine over the defensive wall we built. I passed the magazine to Smith and continued shooting at the infected while Smith reloads his gun. The infected are dangerously close by now are trying their possible best to break through the obstacles dividing us with their weight. We took calculated steps backwards as the weight on the pallets and boxes increased while shooting at the same time. "They're gonn' break in" Smith said at the top of his voice trying to be heard amidst the deafening sounds of gunshots. The infec

"Shit" I cursed as we ran outside the building through the back exit, I changed the magazine of my F2000 as the deafening sounds of gunshots continues, it looks more like a warzone. "You need to be fast soldier, that place will be swarming with zeds in the next five minutes" Dave said. I never thought of that, damnit! I searched around us for the targets for a few seconds before eventually seeing them running towards a parked truck close to the main entrance. The door to the building opposite opened with men coming out gun blazing as we ducked towards different directions. I hid behind a truck as I returned fire. I saw Austin behind a barrel filled with concrete while shooting his SCAR rifle, Lorenzo took cover behind a pillar as the men continued shooting at us, pining us down in the process. I took a quick glance at the two men as they got into the truck with their bodyguards. "They're getting away" Dave said through the telecom

We moved stealthily towards the barbed wires with Smith at the rare end. I signaled to Austin and he handed me a plier which I used to cut the barbed wires in such a way that it would be easy for us to fit in, while the rest watch our backs.“Dave are you in position?” I said into my telecom“Positive”“Okay, we’re moving in”“copy that” he replied and we moved stealthily in a single file.A car was parked with it's door opened close to the nearest building to us, with the driver snoring heavily. I signaled for them to hold while I sneaked up to the driver. I crept behind him with my dagger in hand, I covered his mouth and nose and slit his throat with the dagger, he slumped on the chair and I returned my dagger back in it's sheath.We moved close to the building with the others bendi

Max’s POV"Alright, let’s get this over with."I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my tie while Ben clapped me on the back. "You sound so thrilled," he teased, grinning."You do realize you're about to marry one of the most talked-about women in the country, right?" another groomsman, Kyle, added. "Biggest event of the year. And you're standing there like you're getting sentenced to life in prison."I smirked. "You act like I haven't been living in prison since this engagement started."The room burst into laughter."Come on, man," Ben said, sitting on the armrest of a couch. "You’re Maxwell Hollandale. We expected at least some excitement from you. I mean, there was more enthusiasm when you bought that god-awful sports car that lasted a month before you crashed it.""That was a great car," I muttered."It was orange," Kyle said flatly."It was bold," I corrected."It was hideous," Ben shot back.I rolled my eyes, but I had to admit, their banter made things easier.For a momen

Sienna’s POVThe hospital room had been cold. Sterile. Unforgiving.The fluorescent lights buzzed above me as I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Every part of me ached, from my burned skin to the exhaustion that clung to my bones. But I didn’t have time to wallow.I had made a decision.I was getting married today.No matter what Hester had done, no matter what had happened to Max, no matter how much the universe seemed determined to stop this wedding—I wasn’t letting anyone take this from me.Harry had looked at me like I was insane when I told him.“You just got out of the hospital,” he had said, exasperated.“And?” I’d countered. “I’m still breathing, aren’t I?”He sighed, rubbing his temples. “You’re impossible.”I had smiled, despite everything. “So I’ve been told.”And with that, he had helped me get dressed, helped me walk out of that hospital, and helped me step back into the disaster of my life—ready to face whatever came next.When I got home, the first thing I saw was Ma

Max’s POVI crouched low, listening, my head pounding. Had I lost them?When was the last time I had to squeeze through for survival? A memory flashed through my head. Me… pressed in a car, pushed to my limit, my head bleeding and around me…Then, a voice from the distance and I flashed back to the present. “FIND HIM.”My breath came out shaky.This wasn’t over. Not even close. I needed to get out of here. And fast. Because whoever was behind this? They weren’t going to stop until I was dead.Slowly, I crept out of my hiding place and dove forward, running as fast as my legs could carry me. Then I kicked against something on the way and stumbled again, coughing and groaning as the pangs of pain spread around me.They had heard me. Pain. Exhaustion. Pure rage.I wasn’t sure which one was driving me forward anymore.The men chasing me had caught up fast, their silhouettes barely visible against the dim light of dawn creeping over the hills. My breath was ragged, my body sore from t

Max’s POVSabotage.That was the only explanation for everything that had happened in the past twenty-four hours. My missing passport. My stolen phone. The conveniently sabotaged bus. Someone was pulling strings to make sure I didn’t make it home today.Which meant I had to be smarter than whoever was playing this game.The driver had told everyone to stay inside for the night. “Best to just sit tight,” he had said. “No sense in wandering around in the middle of nowhere. We’ll get a mechanic out first thing in the morning.”And so, one by one, the passengers had settled in though many complaints emerged at first. The lights were dimmed, and people curled into their seats, using jackets and bags as makeshift pillows. The hum of low whispers faded into soft snores.I wasn’t planning on sleeping.Instead, I leaned back, watching the darkness outside. Every instinct in me screamed that staying here was a bad idea, but I didn’t have a better alternative—at least not yet.“Excuse me,” a vo

Sienna’s POVPain.That was the first thing I registered. A sharp, burning sensation shooting up my arm, a dull ache pounding in my skull. My eyelids fluttered, but the light was too bright, too harsh. Voices murmured around me, but they were distant, like they were coming from another world.“Sienna.”A familiar voice. Steady. Strong.I tried to open my mouth, but my throat was dry, my body heavy.“Sienna, stay with me.”I forced my eyes open, blinking against the blinding fluorescent lights. The first thing I saw was Harry, his face taut with concern as he hovered over me.“Harry,” I croaked.Relief flickered in his expression. “You’re awake.”I swallowed, my throat feeling like sandpaper. “What... happened?”Harry exhaled through his nose. “You don’t remember?”I tried to think, piecing together fragments of memory—the bath, the stinging pain, Hester’s smirk. My stomach twisted.“Hester,” I whispered.Harry’s jaw tightened. “Yeah. You walked right into her trap.”I closed my eyes

Chapter: Chapter 26
Max’s POVThe rhythmic hum of the bus should have been soothing, but it only made me more restless. I sat near the window, staring out into the pitch-black night, the dim glow of the bus’s interior lights barely cutting through the darkness outside.Something was wrong.Harry’s call had been cut off before he could tell me what had happened. My phone was destroyed. My passport had conveniently disappeared. And now, here I was, stranded on a bus in the middle of nowhere, heading toward a wedding that someone clearly didn’t want me to attend.Coincidence? Not a chance.I exhaled sharply, rubbing my temples. My gut told me this wasn’t random. Someone had gone through a lot of trouble to make sure I didn’t make it back home.The question was—who?Was it Hester? My charming, psychotic ex who had been wreaking havoc the moment she walked back into my life? Or maybe Julian, my ever-so-clever younger brother who was suddenly interested in my affairs again?Hell, maybe it was someone from Sien
