Duck Drama: BOOK 2

Chapter 55 - Athena

GOLDIE POV

So...

I hear Athena is gone with my great-nephews and Zehra on vacation and wouldn't you know I just happen to run into Lena doing Athena's supposed job.

She seemed to have been struggling against a hoard of zombies, about to over over power the poor girl. She couldn't keep up, so, I decided to help her out.

Lifting my hand for the sword in what I liked to call the Void of Magic I brought out my sword and just started whacking the filthy creatures until nothing was left.

Lena stares at me in awe as I wipe the last of the zombie guts from my sword, but, of course without Athena's 'powered,' arrows they wouldn't stay dead.

"Thanks, but -. Where did you come from?" Lena asked, shaking off the zombie grime as the rest of it started forming even more zombies around us.  We watched as the guts, bones, and rotten flesh start to pull themselves together again.

About twenty or so zombies surrounding us now.

I narrowed my eyes and flipped my blonde hair to the side before tying it up in a pony tail.

"Just got done helping Scroogie with a demon nest we discovered under a chemical plantation just a few towns overs." I informed her. "Damn demons. If it weren't for them -." I stopped and glanced over at Lena who was glaring at me as she flicked some zombie gut off her white and teal uniform.

"Better watch what you say, Goldie." Lena snarled. "My cousin happens to be part demon." She informed me.

I groaned in disgust. Not even trying to hide the fact that I had said something offensive to the girl.

"Don't remind me."

Lena narrowed her eyes at me as a few zombies rushed at us. I whacked them with my sword as Lena blasted them with her magic. They had us backed up against each other, and I could feel the girl's muscles tensed.

Maybe she was starting to think the same thing?

These stupid zombies hadn't started to show up, eating people, and turning them into zombies until AFTER those damn demons started coming through from the demon realm.

I mean.

I get that they wanted to escape the reign of what was Emma. I've been to that place. It was literally hell.

I had no doubt that it could actually be the fictional hell that we have come to learn about since we were kids.

But those demons coming here, settling down, making kids and - and just LIVING here.

It brought out all the evil and vial things with that.

Like a chain reaction to Pandora's box.

The Apocalypse.

I had to steer the girl; Zehra to end all this once and for all.

Not just for me, and what I had to bring into this world...

But -.

For the good of us all.

A loud sound, more like a hissing then a howl, interrupted my thoughts.

"Why are they retreating?" I wondered out loud as Lena and I watched the zombies cower and back away from us before high tailing it off into the woods.

I narrowed my eyes.

The woods seemed to be the best place for creatures of evil.

I had half a mind to burn it to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that it was owned by Scrooge. He wouldn't have taken to kindly to me. I wonder...
