Chapter 27.
*.*She could still see the short thickset man, slowly walking in the direction. While the zombies were busy with what they were doing without taking interest in what that does not concern them.She threw the bone at a dark spot, opposite where he was walking to and quickly went back to the hiding.The bone hit a rodent that was eating something on the dirty ground, it squeaked and ran under the legs of the zombies and ran past the short thickset man, climbing on Igor and going out of sight.The short man heard this and felt it when the rodent ran past him. He hissed and turned back and started walking to the queue."Stupid rodents!" He scoffed as Igor could not be more grateful.If that sound and that rodent had not saved him, the next step the short thickset man was about to take was supposed to be on his head.What a narrow escape! He thought.Willow waited to hear voices or sounds from where she sat in terror, when she heaChapter 28.*.*When they got to the place where they could see the last zombie that was carrying his bag over his shoulder and was looking ahead like the other zombies were doing, they stopped.Igor crept back to meet the pace of Willow."Hey, you have to stay here and do not make a sound. If I am caught, do not come out. Get that?" He whispered as she nodded.She was too scared to object this time."If a rodent run past you, please, try not to yell. Are we good?" She nodded as he gave her a thumbs up and crept away.He remained in the shadows and moved slowly to the back of the last zombie who looked back at him.He immediately held his head as the zombie dropped the bag he was holding at the ground.The zombie was struggling with him while he held his mouth and dug his fingers into his brain and pulled out the maggot, the zombie went numb immediately.The other zombie that was at the front noticed the struggles going on at his bac
Chapter 29.*.*Igor quickly threw the parts of the corpses into the black hole, while glancing at regular intervals at the short thickset man who was still walking amid the zombies.He was doing so because he had stopped acting like a zombie.When he was done, he carried the empty bag across his shoulder like the other zombies and walked up to them in the manner in which they walked in case the short man would decide to steal a glance at him.When the short thickset man was satisfied, he moved away from them and brought out another stick of cigarette from his pocket, alongside the lighter."Line up!" He ordered without looking at them as he lit up the cigarette and sucked in a great smoke which he let out through his nostrils.Willow and Igor used this opportunity that he was not watching and mixed up with the zombies. They did not stay at the front, neither did they stay at the back.When they had finished lining up, the short man stood at t
Chapter 30.*.*The gate was closed immediately and the only thing that could be heard was the eating sounds of the zombies.Igor and Willow were finding it hard to see as their eyes tried to adjust to the darkness now.He breathed down when the short man left as Willow tried to catch her breath as they began to whisper."How are we going to get out of here? The whole place has been locked up" Willow whispered."We can not leave now. There is a lot of things we still have to discover" Igor said."Are you nuts? Who is going to do that on an empty stomach? I can not eat these! Sooner or later, they are going to notice about our presence and we would be so screwed!" She said and glanced at the food and blood in front of her.Igor did not sag anything to her as he winced, he had been in pain, right from when they were at the gate, making the headcount.By this time, their eyes were slowly adjusting to the darkness and they could see bit by bi
Chapter 31.*.*"Sit," A restless Jasper said to the shabby-looking Tabitha who ignored him as she stood there, in the office, staring at the photo of Lucy that was hanging on the wall."Come on, Tabitha, you said you wanted us to talk, well, here I am. And mind you, we do not have all day to mope around" he said again but she was still gazing at that particular spot. When he followed up her gaze to meet up with what she was staring at, he realized that it was a picture of Lucy on the wall."Damn it, Tabitha, you are going to lose your mind over this" he walked to the picture on the wall, removed it from where it was hanging, and carried it along.He walked to where Tabitha was standing and placed the picture on the desk, turning it upside down.He watched as she quickly removed her gaze from where she was staring and faced the picture on the desk now."Sit down please," he said again but she ignored him as her lips trembled."Lucy," she
Chapter 32.*.*Jasper pulled the car over close to the police station. He opened the door of the car and walked out of it.The bright morning sun was still dancing in the sky, he winced his face and scratched his hair. He walked over to where Tabitha was sitting and opened the car door."We are here!" He said as she climbed down from the car and he closed the door.They both walked into the station and the desk officer quickly looked up at them. He studied them closely and frowned.Looking at how worn out Tabitha was, he concluded that there had been domestic violence. He immediately hated Jasper as he shot him a glare.They were asked to sit on a bench and wait for their turn as they sat down. Jasper sat next to a man with a bleeding nose that had a roll of toilet paper on his nose. Jasper was immediately disgusted at the sight and he tried not to look at the man."Hey mate!" The man spoke to him. He pretended not to hear him."Hitting
Chapter 33.*.*.The Police van pulled over in front of the gigantic building of the hospital. By this time, the sun was dancing in the sky, showing its power.And the blaring siren was immediately turned off.The Sheriff alighted first and surveyed the environment with a glance, if he were seen from afar, one would think that he was a pregnant woman whose baby bump was due.The other two officers alighted too from the van and came to stand next to him as they stared at the building too.Sheriff James wished he could smoke, but he did not want to ruin his reputation as a reputable sheriff as eyes from passersby were glancing toward their van.He knew they might be thinking that something was up at the hospital since he was there. Because Sheriff James never goes out except it has to do with human lives.They stayed that way, waiting for Jasper and Tabitha to meet up their pace, but the sun was not helping mattersAnnabella stood at the wi
Chapter 34.*.*."Tabitha," Jasper called her softly as she sobbed."Do not start, please. Don't just start right now" she wiped her eyes with the back of her palm while the Sheriff just stood there.The door creaked open and Annabella walked into the office, holding the first aid kit."I am sorry for taking long" she smiled and walked up to the table and dropped the kit. She took out a pair of scissors and rolled a ball of cotton wool on it. She opened a methylated spirit and dipped the ball of cotton wool inside."May I? Please?" She said to a grumpy Tabitha who shot her a glare."Come on Tabi! Do not be an asshole. You should be glad that she still wants to do this even after you accused her wrongly!" He pushed Tabitha's palm to Annabella who smiled."I am going to clean off the blood, okay?" She smiled and started cleaning it off until the cut on her palm showed."There we go" she smiled and rolled another ball of cotton wool, dipped
Chapter 35.*.*."Igor, please. Wake up" she was sobbing now."You can not do this to me, please. I can not carry out this mission on my own" she sniffed and kept shoving him as he slowly opened his eyes."Can't a guy have a sleep?" He asked opening his eyes as she wiped her eyes."You are awake! I thought something bad had happened" she hugged him and cried as he winced."Oh, I am sorry," she said as he removed the piece of cloth that was used to tie the bite Mark and they saw that it was really bad. The sight was hideous to look at."Oh my God!" She muttered as they saw how the surrounding of the bite was white and the veins there were green with dark spots. But the spots were still faint.He struggled and sat up and frowned."That is not looking good" she spoke."Yeah, but there is nothing we could do about it. I will manage. We have to get on with the business. As you can see, there is no way that we can go back home. We have to
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
