Chapter 11.
*.*.*"Okay, calm down. I am going to explain to you" Willow breathed down."We went to this Halloween show last night, there was the ticket, the short thickset man gave it to Piper, it was four of the tickets. We had to solve these crazy puzzles and it took us to the outskirt of Crowville. Billy rode us there in his car. We even took photos, I was dressed as Maleficent, and--""Come on Willow! I know I bought a Halloween costume of The Nun Deluxe costume, we all went to the mall. But we did not attend any Halloween show""Okay, where is your phone?" Willow asked her."I do not know. I lost it. I guess. Because I can not find it""You see? That is because they took our phones. Mine can not be found either, because I also dropped it with them. Do not worry, you will also see that Billy is not with his phone because he came with us and gave them his phone too" She blurted out."Are you okay? Willow? I do not have time for this, I havChapter 12.*.*.Willow started riding on the lonely lane that led to Crowville's Spring. She got amazed when she noticed that there was no settlement there as the place was filled with shrubs and trees.When she had ridden for close to an hour, she heard the sound of the spring as it was flowing.She continued riding until she saw the spring. She stopped the bicycle and packed it close to a fallen tree as she could no longer ride her bicycle on the path she saw, as it was filled with pebbles and little rocks.She started walking through the path until she saw a tiny shack. She stood from afar and examined it.She could not see what was going on inside as everywhere was sealed.She heaved a sigh and continued walking until she got to the shack. Walking to the door, she rapped on it gently.She waited and listened, but she did not hear any sound.She repeated the same process three times and gave up."What was I thinking? That guy loo
Chapter 13.**"What? You are not serious, are you?"He did not reply to her as she folded her arms."Hey! You can not just keep me hanging" she stopped and went deep in thought."The experiment I was talking about. They are looking for the one with the X-blood" he spoke."X-blood? How? What are you talking about?""There are so many things to explain. I do not even know how and where to start from!" He scratched his hair and turned to face her again."Those Attendants at the show. The ones on the stage. They are real-life Zombies! I touched one of them. He was preventing me from going backstage to look for my friend""They do not talk, neither do they have thinking of their own. They are all created to do the bidding of the Master" he added."Which master? What are you talking about?""Did you not see the ritual he performed in the hall?""Blood would flow! Evil would dominate! No way out!" "You thought those puzzles
Chapter 14.**"Your life would be in danger now because they might be looking for you. That is why I asked who you told about the green maggots"She was not listening to him as a shiver ran down her spine.(I am in danger?") She kept repeating in her head."If you have the X-blood, your sister must have it too. And she might be the one that has been used to create those zombies" he added as he walked away.She sat down and began to think. All those nightmares she was constantly having.(Would I... Would I turn into a zombie?) She thought as he returned with a bowl of clean water. He soaked the towel in the water, squeezed it, and used it to clean her foot."Will I? Will I turn into a zombie?""I have no answer for that. But you should be scared because that man has marked your face" he told her as she recalled how he stared at her after he left that lab room. And how someone was staring at her from the window of fhe hospital and the shar
Chapter 15*.*.*Willow packed her bicycle right outside the Police station and walked inside. She got to the desk officer and stood, at that time, she was the only visitor there.She was very determined to do what she came for as she walked straight to the desk officer with a hard chin."Good day sir"The Desk Officer quickly looked up at her. He regarded her closely and thought maybe she was one of those girls that have come to complain about her abusive boyfriend because she looked worn out."Well, hello young lady. How may I help you?" He tried to sound calm as he played with the biro he was holding, as he was transferring it from one finger to the other."I want to speak to the Sheriff" she requested and it made the desk officer look up at her with a dropped jaw.(Okay, she is sure one of those bitches that makes trouble) he thought and sat up properly."Pardon?" He feigned ignorance."The Chief. I want to see him" she sai
Chapter 16.They waited for Willow to give the lead as she tried to go recall where the owl was facing."Okay, the night creature was over there!" She pointed as the officers watched her."It faced this way! Come one! Follow me!' He urged them and the sheriff signaled the rest officers as they began to trail behind her back.She was looking for the valley of skulls as they walked back to where the van was packed." We are walking in circles!" One of the officers said."Young lady! Are you messing with us?" The Sheriff scolded her."No! It was right here. I just need to know the path. There were skulls. Piper even kissed one. But... I can no longer find it. It was around this place!" She was scratching her hair and turning around in circles."Hey! Listen to me. Did you come here alone when you thought that you came here?""No! I came with friends! Hazel, Piper, and Billy. But they took Piper and 9 others!'" Okay, I understand. Can yo
Chapter 17*.*."When you came to my office that you have something urgent to attend to at home, I granted your request immediately. If I had known that you were going to the cops to cause trouble, I would not have granted your request!" He said as a flicker of tears dropped from her eyes."I hope you get better and move on from whatever you are passing through. But please, do not drag the cops into it. Okay? I would not like to receive more calls from the Sheriff. I am trying to stay out of trouble" He added as she stopped what she was doing and stared into space.He breathed down and scratched his hair."I know I am being too hard on you and--""Just go!" She said faintly.He stopped and watched her as he shook his head in pity."I hope you get better!" With that, he walked away as the bell at the door rang.She immediately darted her attention toward it and saw Tabitha and Lucy. Tabitha had a horrid look on her face and Lucy was
Chapter 18.*.*"The same thing happened to me. I told them about it. They thought I was crazy too. And when we went there, we saw nothing and no one agreed to attend the show. So, they would not believe" he sucked in air and back faced her."I told you that my parents gave up on me. They thought that I was insane. They wanted to put me in a home. I have to come here, a place that I and my brother always come to""It is of no use. No one would ever believe us" he finalized."I saw a failed experiment today. Lucy. My boss's daughter I told you about"This time, he turned to face her with terror in his eyes."What?""Yes. Her mother came to lay a complaint to her dad. They have taken her to the hospital. She spoke about a vaccine and isolation" she added as he scoffed."They lie! That kid would not survive""Why? She would die?""No! They would kill her because she is a failed experiment. They can not control her mind""Oh my
Chapter 19.*.*"I will establish you! You will get whatever you want! You do not have to work in that stupid coffee shop to make ends meet. Let me give you all you could ever wish for! Join us!" He said as his voice echoed in the room."Leave me alone!" She yelled and pushed him. He fell and crashed into the wheelchair."If you would not do this amicably, I guess I am going to do this my own way!' He cocked his hair to one side and brought out a huge sickle from his cloak."After her!" He yelled and her grandma threw her glass of whiskey away and started chasing after Willow."Willow! You have to listen to the Master! He is the future hope of the world!" Her grandma barked as she kept chasing after her while The Master stood at the window side and was touching his sickle while watching as the streetlight illuminated the garden.Willow was surprised how her grandma was able to run with such strength as she was very old. The strength her grandma pos
Chapter 61.*.*Oscar quickly opened the cage and the tunnel was shaking vigorously now. He ran out of the cage like a mad man and quickly stretched.As he walked out of the room, he bumped into Raven who was also running in his direction."What is going on?" Raven asked immediately."Come on, we have to mobilize the Zombies. Prisoners are escaping!" He started. They started walking quickly back to where she came from."Does the Master knows about this?" "Yeah! What do you think? He was the one that released me. Freddy is dead!" He expounded as the tunnel started falling apart."Oh My God! Where is the Master?!" "He is going to the coven. He has to stop who is making the earthquake by blowing off the candles. Which is obviously not me?" He returned with a sullen look."Oscar, I am sorry about --'"Now is not the time! We have to do what fhe Master asks of us!" He waved her off as they began running when that part of the buildi
Chapter 60.*.*"We have to look for a way and take you to the coven. You would have to hide there and wait for me" she explained. He just nodded and they continued walking in the shadows, through the windows."I think you should go back to the Master" he stopped to rest as she stopped too and glanced back at him."Why? You do not even know the way to the coven. And I can not just leave you alone on this state" He was still shivering and she could tell that he was trying all he could to brace himself."If you give me directions, I would be able to find my way to the coven. You really have to go back to the Master, else he might suspect. You have stayed too long" he explained as she started giving reasoning to his suggestion."Are you sure that you would be okay, going alone?""I will. Just give me the directions" he spoke in a hoarse voice as she explained in detail where he was going to find the coven."Okay, good luck," he said when sh
Chapter 59.*.*.Willow quickly explained the plan to him in a low tone as he listened attentively, nodding his head at regular intervals."Wow! This is fascinating. But you can not take down those candles all by yourself!" He told her."Yeah, I know. But we have to try" she shrugged."Once the tunnel starts shaking, they would go to the coven immediately and all focus would be on you as they would not even have time for the X-blood Lines" he explained."Yeah. While I am taking down the candles, the X-blood lines have to evacuate the tunnel to the river and use the submarine" "And you, what are you going to do?" He asked."I would find my way" she gave a faux smile."But, we can not carry all this out by ourselves, we need help from the outside world" he suggested."Who would help us out? They all think that I am crazy. Even the cops are adamant" "What about your friends? Don't you think there might be a way to convince them?"
Chapter 58*.*Willow was staring as the Master was checking out a syringe, she scowled at him and wished that she could just strangle him, or better still, remove his foolish mask and see what he looks like.She did not know if he was an Advanced Z or a human. She looked around her and saw an object which she could use on him and he would pass out for at least 10 minutes. That would buy her enough time to strangle and unveil him since he sent Freddy to go fetch Samara and it was just the both of them in the lab.She saw that this was the only chance she had now he was engrossed with fhe syringe. She glanced from him to the object, she just needed two quick strides to get to the object."Ah ah ah, I would not do that if I were you" he broke into her thought as she flinched. She gave him a long stare and saw that he was still engrossed with the syringe without looking up at her. She wondered how he knew what she was thinking. Or, was it the syringes that they
Chapter 57.*.."So, you are trying to tell me that no one knows who went inside the coven? It is just you people that were around and were not caged in! How come you all are denying that you know nothing about it?" He spanked the table and a conical flask fell to the ground, making Raven, Freddy, and Oscar flinch.They were in the lab, he had been scolding them and they just bowed their heads."Okay, so the zombies did it? Right?" He barked but still did not get any response from them."Or is it the chained Failed Experiments? Or the X-Blood lines that are not only locked up in their cells but the door is also locked? No one! I mean no one knew about that coven except the Advanced Zs. So what are you going to say about that?"They kept their heads bowed not knowing what to do or say. Freddy was thinking of what to do that would keep him on the Master's good side. He just got promoted, he would not let a silly mistake by anyone jeopardize all that he ha
Chapter 56.*.*.Their heart was racing so fast, but then, they noticed that it was an X-blood line, because of her blue outfit, and the number 64 was boldly inscribed on her clothes. She was supposed to be caged like them, if she was out, she was also doing something illegal."What the hell are you doing here?" Willow said in a low voice. The girl seemed to be scared as she was fidgeting."I want to come too," she said."What? Are you nuts? The was not even the question that I asked you. What the hell are you doing here?" Willow repeated."Well," the girl removed fhe strand of her from her face."I have been eavesdropping on you both's conversation. And I would love to be part of the escape plan too. I want to get out f here," As she was speaking, that was when Willow noticed that her arm was bandaged."Damn! How many people must have heard? If the plan escalates! We would be sunk!" Eric whined."How old are you?" Willow asked her.
Chapter 55.*.*.*Willow slowly opened her eyes as the strong light in the hall hit her eyeballs, she quickly closed them back and struggled to sit up."Look who is finally awake" Eric smiled as she glanced toward him. "Hi," She said and tapped her forehead as it was banging seriously."I thought you were dead! You went out for quite a long time" he added as she finally sat up and saw the tray of food at her front. She glanced toward Eric but did not see any food at his front and he seemed to notice what she was looking for."I told you that you were out for a long time. We have long had our food. Although I do not know what the time says. There is no time here" he smiled as she glanced toward the other of her neighbour's cell was. But she could not find him.Willow was surprised as she glanced toward Eric who shrugged. "Yeah. Number 15 is dead. They've taken him away" he said as Willow's eyes bulged. She tried to hide her shock and blinked her ey
Chapter 54.*.*.*"Breath Willow! Breath. Just calm down!" She said to herself as Billy was just watching her."What are you doing here?" He asked as she felt like going crazy."I should be asking you that. What the hell are you doing here?" She said calmly, she was trying her best not to freak out. Billy immediately turned and faced Raven and Freddy."What is she doing in here? How come no one told me that she was here?" He demanded."This stupid girl was disguised as one of the zombies. She just discovered her. We are trying to extract more maggots from her foot. Hers can liberate the Failed Experiments" Freddy explained."Billy. You. You are one of them?" She asked as her mouth shook."Okay, guys. I think this is personal. We have to leave" The Master was loving his disoriented Willow was becoming as he left, Raven and Freddy followed him. Leaving just Billy, Willow, and Samara."Those maggots you said you were using for experiments. T
Chapter 53.*.*"Samara" Willow took four long strides and hugged her sister who hugged her tightly."How have you been, Samara?" "I have missed you so much. I have searched for you everywhere. You have no idea how much I missed you and finally got to find you""Willow" Samara spoke softly."Oh my God! What have they done to you? These beasts!" She cursed."Willow""I will get you out of here. I never stopped looking for you even when those stupid Police said that you eloped. I never believed them. I knew that something was wrong!" She added."Willow!" Samara calls again and was crying this time before Willow came to her senses and stopped talking."You shouldn't have come here," she said and turned her back at her."What?" Willow was astonished as she moved to her front."What do you mean by that?""You shouldn't have come here. You should have forgotten about me!" Samara cried."You do not mean that. Right? I r
