Project V (Clementine X Male Reader Book 4)

Discord

No POV...

The dome around Marinus lights up a bright shade of blue. It travels in a wave out from where it was touched by Y/N. It goes up until the dome begins to circle into the sky and travels sideways until it begins to curve drastically.

Herakles: HAHA! Trapped! They're stupid if they thought they could rest.

Herakles watches from a distance, behind the herd of Walkers. Next to him, his companions the president gifted him. Brought back from the grave to serve Herakles.

Herakles: How much longer?

Thanatos: How many more do you want?

If snakes could talk, they'd sound like him. His voice is like a hiss. Just like before he was killed, he's covered in blood and guts, his clothes are ragged, and he's small. So small that one hit from Herakles could kill him, even without his newfound admin privileges.

Herakles: How many will it take?

Three new Walkers run toward the dome to join the herd—dead set on ripping anything inside to pieces. Thanatos is raising them, programming them to be fast, hungrier, deadlier. The president's team made the AI specifically for this purpose. Shortly after she was elected and found out about the project, she began preparing for a day like this. Abusing her power behind the scenes.

Thanatos: Only a few.

Herakles: HAHAHA! You've always had too much faith in these corpses! Keep them coming.

Deimos: Shouldn't you be getting back?

Deimos, the personification of dread and terror. Simply put, when the dome lowers, everyone will be too scared to do anything but run. But where can they run? They're surrounded. Their only choice is to fight, and their sudden sense of danger will be too much. Deimos' dread and terror will fill their minds, and they will be completely useless.

Deimos: You're supposed to be guarding the-

Herakles: I wanted to watch! I'm trying to have fun with the two that killed me once and took my eye.

In this world, he has his eye. But in reality, he's lying in a bed somewhere, one eye missing.

Deimos: We will handle this.

Herakles: Really? Last time you told me that, we all died.

Até: It will be fine, Herakles.

Havoc and ruin was there, standing just outside the dome, watching and waiting. Até lead their community long ago, but now, Herakles is in command. His orders, to kill everyone inside, knowing full well that Y/N and Brooklyn would survive the assault. He planned on it. Her job would start before the dome lowered. As soon as Y/N and Brooklyn return to the safety of the walls, she will begin.

Até: We died like you, and we too want our revenge.

Herakles: You will get it.

He takes a step back.

Herakles: Good luck.

He turns away from them and leaves. Heading back to where he was spawned into this world. Y/N and Brooklyn will arrive to face him soon. He just needs to be patient. He will not let them escape a third time.

Y/N and Brooklyn close the gate behind them.

Até: Let's begin.

She reaches out through the dome and grabs ahold of just a few people, sowing discord within their minds. Soon, they'll be tearing themselves apart from the inside. At which point they will stand no chance. They will fall, like the rest of the world.
