The hallowed ones VOL I

Gone Hollow

Spencer had killed most of the people in that police station and stole one of they're vans to get down to the west point of the pumpkin patch, he parked the van near some trees and ran out to the pumpkin patch. Rick had arrived in his pickup truck about 30 minutes later. He approached Spencer a bit shocked at how he looked.

"You really weren't kidding.. You look like a bit of a mess to be honest." Rick said concerningly, he wore his Brown jacket with the zipper open. "Look um, I was thinking. Maybe I can get you some help. We can pay off this fine together and you don't have to leave."

Spencer shook his head "I don't think I can do that now Rick, I have to get out of here something is terribly wrong with me. I've.. I've been having strange dreams and I just can't seem to control myself ever sense that damn pumpkin patch." Spencer said putting his hands on his head as he was getting a headache.

Suddenly some police cars pulled up, they both looked over. Spencer angrily looked at Rick
"What did you do!" Spencer yelled at Rick "I said to come alone! You could have instead brought someone like your Wife or your bloody brother but you instead bring the ones hunting me?!" Spencer began to scream now taking out his SMG and aiming it at the police who began coming out of their cars. They too aimed their weapons at Spencer and Rick

Rick tried to stop Spencer and tried to talk to him. "Spencer wait! They said they can help us we don't have to fight!" As Rick yelled a police offer yelled to the two men: "Sir drop your weapons now or we will use force!" He sounded concerned but also serious as he had to be intimating.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"
"SPENCER NO-"
Spencer fired his SMG as another cop opened fire, Spencer was hit but the armor saved him. Although Rick was not so lucky he had been hit in the chest and began bleeding out. Spencer screamed and look over to his friend letting his guard down as he was soon shot straight into the forehead falling onto the ground.

"Cease fire! Check that one's pulse!"
"Nothing sir, they're both dead"
"We were suppose to neutralize the target not kill it and get a civilian in the cross fire"
"Forget it, just take the weapons off of him and lets get out of here. This never happened you hear me!"
"Yes sir!"
The sound of a car screeching had been the last thing before Spencer finally bled out and died. Though this wasn't the end as the vine from earlier had began wrapping it's self around Spencer's dead body mangling through his veins and bringing over a nearby pumpkin. Carving a face into it and putting it onto Spencer's head, slowly and painfully if he had been alive. An apple from a tree had fallen onto his chest which had pushed out some oxygen from his lungs to which he reacted by jolting up and panting. His memories came back to him slowly as he looked at himself seeing the pumpkin on his head he screamed and tried to pull it off but it only hurt him. He wanted to cry but the tears would burn up before anything came out. 

He stood up feeling a lot lighter now that most of his organs were replaced by vines and plants. Though his outside skin stayed, and the armor stayed with him as well, he turned around and saw Rick. He had to do something to save his friend, as he approached, he tripped over a pumpkin. A small one in which he got an idea, taking the pumpkin and using the sharp end of a fence to carve a light face into it, although because he had tripped over it the guts had spilled out and it was now hollow. A hollow helm one could call it which he had then placed onto Rick's head hoping that it may save him. He would have stayed but he was urged by his new body to leave and attend to other matters it had planned for him. He kneeled and put his hand on Rick's dead shoulder and said to him.
"Thank you, I will come back for you some day. My friend"
The Pumpkin creature stood up and walked off into the cold harvest night.
