All Chapters of Leesa's Advent: Chapter 321 - Chapter 330

Leesa was playing Hearts at the dining table with Rave, her mom and Bradley when Cali’s ringtone sounded on her cell, which she had left on the end table beside the couch. She excused herself and went to pick up her phone.“Have you seen the video?” Cali asked excitedly as soon as Leesa answered the call.“No. What video? We’ve been playing cards. Hold on a second.” Leesa crossed into her bedroom for more privacy. She did not want to alert or worry her mom.“What is it?” she asked as soon as she was out of earshot. “More zombies?”With so many stories about the Lisbon Falls zombie attack still appearing in the news, Leesa had been forced to turn off the sound notification on the zombie alert she had set up. A couple of times a day she would scroll through the list to check for any items not connected to the Maine attack. There hadn’t been anything important up to dinnertime tonight, when she last checked.“Yeah, you won’t believe the video,” Cali replied. “Go to YouTube and search ‘zo

Located about ten miles of Boston, the city of Lynn boasts the largest cemetery in the entire state of Massachusetts. The Pine Grove Cemetery covers more than two hundred and fifty acres, all of which are enclosed by a stone wall said to be the second longest continuous stone wall in the world, trailing only the Great Wall of China. Slightly more than eighty acres are currently used as graveyard, containing almost ninety thousand graves. The entire population of Lynn is about ninety thousand people, making it one of the few towns of any size containing as many deceased people as live ones. The number of dead plus the size of the surrounding population made it the perfect place for the next stage of the Necromancer’s plan.Having made the short drive from Woburn, his oversized RV eased to a stop on a quiet street along one edge of the cemetery shortly before midnight. Viktor emerged from the vehicle, almost invisible in his black cloak. He crossed to the head-high rock w

A layer of wispy clouds drifted across the glowing face of the full moon above Pine Grove Cemetery, further darkening the night. The place was awash with black magic now, but the darkness and the stone wall prevented anyone who might be passing by at this late hour from noticing what was going on within its confines. Hundreds of black ribbons now snaked silently from the dark whirlpool created by the Necromancer’s magic, each one seeking out a separate grave. When they found one, the magic fingers penetrated down through the soil until they reached the caskets buried below.Whether the coffins were fashioned of rotting wood or impervious metal did not matter—the black magic simply dissolved the casings away and then enveloped the remains that had been contained inside, bathing them in a powerful reanimation spell. In mere seconds after the contact, long dead eyes winked open as the corpses blinked to life and began slowly clawing their way to the surface, pushing aside the layers of d

Before he could even take a step toward the wall, the five volkaanes leaped easily up onto the top of the thick barrier. Rave reached down and grabbed Leesa by the wrists and hoisted her effortlessly up onto the wall. Bain lifted Dominic the same way, and Halee pulled Cali up.“Girl power,” Halee said with a smile as Cali alighted atop the wall.The three volkaanes lifted their charges into their arms and jumped lightly down to the ground inside the cemetery. Leesa took advantage of the moment to plant a kiss on Rave’s cheek before he set her down.“Thanks for the lift, big guy,” she said.Dominic was already peering out into the dark cemetery, which seemed to stretch endlessly before them. He pointed to the south.“The magic is that way,” he said.Leesa followed his finger, but saw nothing but uneven rows of graves that faded into the darkness. She had no doubt, though, that their foes were where Do

LEESA WATCHED DOMINIC GO for just a moment. Cali took advantage of the pause to place her hand on Leesa’s hip. At the same time, she raised her other hand to the rear and concentrated hard, imagining a beam of yellow magic shooting from her palm just like she had done in the woods with Leesa and Dominic. Somewhat to her surprise, a pale beam immediately shot forward from her hand in a continuous, laser-like stream. She kept the beam aimed head high, sweeping it across the ranks of zombies. She watched the magic blast into nearly a dozen zombie skulls before it abruptly shut off. The creatures all collapsed to the ground.“That’s what I’m talking about,” Cali said, more to herself than to anyone else.Dral acknowledged her help with a quick wave of his hand, then continued darting into and around the pursuing zombies, plunging his spikes into their heads as he passed.“Let’s go,” Leesa said.She trotted forwa
