All Chapters of Between Life and Death: The Bad Blood: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"Sorry for disturbing your time with each other but I have news to tell."Both of us turned to Grande. Her face depicted seriousness and with that kind of emotion, I can tell that there's something urgent we need to see.Trudging towards her, I say, "What is it?""We saw two buses that we can maneuver to enter the border and reach the place of the Royal family."My brows furrowed upon hearing that. "You already checked those out?"She nodded. "Yes. My troops can squeeze to the first bus. The other can be yours to seize.""If that's the case and there's no hindrance in our way, we can catch up in the border right now. However, I'm not certain about the circumstances. I saw movements outside of this building earlier when I've done a thorough inspection."Lieutenant William walks toward us. "She's right. I can hear the buzzing sounds of the undead lurking around. The danger was scarcely creeping its way to pinch in.""Precisely. I

For a moment, the silence took over my senses yet it was shattered when the noise of the undead thrived bigger each second passed by. It was alarming and threatening at the same time as if death was knocking on our door, though it seemed it was. Perhaps, the reality was cruel to even wish for this to end."Xiomara, the people who volunteered were now set inside the truck. We're ready to depart." Lieutenant William's voice rang in my ears that broke me out from mulling over my thoughts.I caught his eyes on me with a meaningful gaze when I looked at him."Grande and I will create a disturbance for your breakout. Use the back door for an escape route and make sure you'll get out of here and the others alive.""Xiomara..." there was an expressive meaning in his stares yet I shrugged those off. This wasn't the right time to ponder over that."Say what you want to say. Time is running and we can't afford to waste it any longer."He sighs deeply w

To which extent the powerful attack can be, I'm uncertain of that. However, I sharpened my senses and continue striking at full force with the combination of power I have. Yet, I couldn't guarantee my stance of attacking if my stamina would deplete."Drive faster!" I shouted without ceasing from attacking.The car moves faster than the normal speed. It was sometimes swaying to avoid the obstacle hindering the way. However, halting, I checked the bullets and a soft curse broke out from my lips when I saw that there were only two bullets left.We aren't far yet from the chasing beasts but we're already at disadvantage up to this point. This situation was merely a pig ready to be slaughtered. Us, being hunted until we can no longer run was frustrating."There's a bunch of cars hampering our way!""This isn't good! They won't stop chasing us! What can we do now?""Are we gonna wait here and die?"Their kick-up commotion was unpleasant tha

All of them were gaping at me, stunned by my statement full of conviction. Yet, when exhaustion took over my body, all I could hear was their calling before I lost consciousness and completely blackened out.Something happened that defies my common sense, well everything was. However, this one was quite huge to take because... my consciousness seeped through me and entered into the void. Chaos started to bound my mind and almost I can imagine the veins thumping in my forehead.I struggled to wake up but I couldn't. As if there was a force binding me not to do anything. As of the moment, my consciousness lay there waiting for something I couldn't put a finger on.After a while, it was still eerily quiet and I can't understand what this possibly mean. The questions in my mind were surging forward like a tide. Yet, none of it was answered to enlighten me.My feelings were stirred. Like the alternate rising and falling of the sea. It was thorough havoc.

"M-mom..." I whispered and gritted my teeth to stop myself from tearing up. This sudden reunion made my heart tremble in anticipation and at the same time, it scares me about what will happen next."Xiomara..." she uttered my name with longing in her eyes.My hands clenched tightly as I scrutinized her figure. I saw some scars, old and new on her body that made my eyes dim in rage. Her pale lips were quivering and my nails sunken in my palm even deeper upon seeing her situation.I can tell with a single glance that she suffered a lot in their hands. A burst of anger almost suffocated me yet I inhaled deeply and suppress it. This isn't the right time to take action against them because I know for a fact that we can't win against their powerful force.All we need is time to wait. For now, tolerating their existence might be the last card of patience I have for them."She's our hostage now. If you don't come with us, then see how I'll deal with you." The man with a dominating presence sp
