Chapter 46.
*.*"She did that to you?""Yeah, I was surprised because she had never acted in such a manner before. I thought maybe it might be because of Lucy. But she does not look well. You can take a look at her" he explained."Just take a look at this" he showed her Tabitha's decaying palm and she tried her best to act surprised."Mr. Graham" Annabella sighed and rested her back on the armchair. Jasper looked up at her in anticipation."If you do not mind, I would love to run some tests on her""Of course, that is why we cake here in the first place," he explained as she nodded and took the telephone on her desk and dialed a number.She was speaking to someone over the phone while Jasper focused on Tabi who was still staring into space. He touched his neck and felt the bite mark, it had stopped bringing out blood.Annabella dropped the phone and turned to face him. "Just wait for a while, they would be here soon"Jasper nodded asChapter 47.*.*.The engine in the cave came to an abrupt stop, it was still running but the noise was not as much as when it was on. The heat was still there but not as severe as it was when the Oven was still on.Oscar removed what he used in shielding his ears and dropped it on the chair."Okay pals, we are done for today. Come on. Get prepared, we are leaving" had clapped his palms as fhe zombies began to arrange themselves. Willow glanced at Igor and found out that he was touching the new bite mark that Bryan gave him. She felt guilty that it was because of her that he sustained such injury and hated herself for it.Igor saw the look on her face and he could guess what he was thinking as he placed his mouth close to her ears."It was not your fault" he winked at her but she could tell that he was in pain.The zombies assembled in two lines, led by Oscar. They started walking out of the cave, toward the tunnel. Oscar was at their back. Igor was
Chapter 48.*.*.*"Can this discovery get any better? I must see the Master at once" he shoved the maggot inside his pocket and started walking out of there, he walked to the cave that had the oven and switched off the light, then walked away.He walked to through the tunnel, the noises made by the zombies could be heard as he headed toward the Master's Quarters. He could see a faint light from the keyhole of the gate as he knocked on the door.He waited and knocked again. Then he started hearing footsteps walking toward the gate. The sound of the noises made by the keys was heard as the gate was opened, Raven popped her head out from the room without letting him see through the room and was preventing him from getting inside the hall.He got the message but believed that if he could allow him to explain what he was here for, he knew she would welcome him like she would welcome the Master as he returned from a long journey."What do you want?" Raven spo
Chapter 49.*.*Willow was still in shock when they had walked out of the hall that had the cages, Freddy was supposed to take his set of zombies to the oven, but he was with the Master and his zombies were taken to the Oven where they had started work as he would meet them later.Oscar and his zombies got to where the headcount would begin. Willow was dying silently from within as she thought of Igor. (I should have done something about it. I should have!) She thought as she entered inside the auditorium that had the Failed Experiments chained to the walls. She had never seen anything like it before.The last she was here, she did not get close to the Failed Experiment but was just packing their body parts in a bag that would be taken to the black hole.She stood there and watched as the failed experiments struggled. She was so astonished that she did not notice that she had been watching with her mouth agape."Hey! Don't just stand there like a
Chapter 50.*.*.*Jasper had been watching Tabitha since they returned from the hospital the previous day. He did not understand how she would just forget about Lucy that she was mourning over and would begin to act like everything was perfect.Then he remembered that Annabella told him that they removed her memory, he did not know how they did it. But he felt like they were supposed to take permission from Tabitha before they carry out any operation that they took. But he knew that Tabitha was in no state to decide on her own.He noticed the changes that Tabitha had undergone. She behaves like everything was fine. And like the good wife that Annabella asked her to be. Although there was peace in the hole now, no more nagging, quarreling, shouting, and screaming for the next-door neighbor to always hear their voices, but he was not satisfied as he felt that Tabitha was acting like a robot. And not to mention the green veins on her extremely white skin and the fai
Chapter 51.*.*"Uhmm, Excuse me, Eric" she cut off his speech as he stopped talking."87, can you please not call me Eric when the master is around? Being formal would be the best. Just call me 72 so that you would be used to it" he told her as she shrugged."So, you wanted to ask a question?" He offered when he noticed that she had withdrawn to herself."Uh, yeah. Actually," she began."I wanted to ask about one Samara. You do not by chance, know her? Right? She was brought here three years ago" she explained. "Well, I told you, we are being formal in here, we do not know each other's name. We go by our official name" he corrected her."Oh, I guess you would not know Samara then" she cast her face down.She turned to number 15 and found out that he was eating and staring into space. She felt so sorry for him. He must miss his family so much, for 9 good years. They must have thought that he was dead and had probably forgotten about him.
Chapter 52.*.*"How old do you say you are again?" Willow wanted to be sure as Eric wondered if what he did by telling her about his secret was the right thing to do."14," he said bluntly as she was in awe."We have a deal, 87. You can not tell anyone about this. You can't" he said as she nodded."I swear it. I cross my heart" she said as he smiled."Does that even work?" He muttered to himself and turned to Willow who was in deep thought."We have to think of a way to get out of here. We just have to" she murmured."Yeah. I am glad that I would not be doing the plotting on my own. At least, two heads are better than one" he smirked."So, tonight?' She asked.He had not had the chance to reply as the door sprung open. "Please 72. Do not forget. And do not ever speak to me while they are here. You would be putting our lives in jeopardy" he whispered and she watched as everyone in their cells straightened up as The Master, Fred
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
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 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.

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!"

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
