Post-apocalyptic

Chapter 6

A mutant finds the hatch and runs out into the city. There is dead silence for a moment. The man behind the throne of the dead laughs. The man behind the throne of the dead says, "Your one of them aren't you?" The mutant looks at the throne in confusion. The mutant asks the guy behind the throne of the dead "What are you?" The dead king looks at the mutant. The Dead King looks at the mutant "The Dead King? You never heard of me? The Dead King says, "I am Marrow. I've been ruler of the dead for several centuries. I created this kingdom, and it is my throne." The mutant asks Marrow, "Where is Brooke?" The Dead King smiles. "Brooke died young. A rival of yours. I killed her." The Dead King says, "how did you survive? It doesn't matter now." The mutant runs over to the Dead King and looks for Brooke's body. Marrow says, "I will not say that you may search the throne room. It is forbidden." The mutant says, "You do not command me, Marrow." The mutant enters the throne room and picks up her body. The mutant runs. "She was a threat and you were to weak to kill her. Now you shall be killed." The mutant leaps to the exit tunnels. The mutant was no where to be seen. The mutant turns in to her human form. Her long brown hair dangles down. Brooke nudges her softly. "I'm...alive?" Brooke says. "Welcome back, the name's Sculptor by the way." Brooke is laying down on sculptors lap. "We have to get out of here, get on my back and hold tight." Sculptor said. Brooke asks, "Where are we going?" "To the castle. We have a destiny." The castle looked dark. 

Brooke looks at the castle. Brooke says, "Let's go." The castle looks even more dark. They approach the castle. Brooke says, "Are you sure this is the right way?" Sculptor looks at the map. Sculptor says, "Yes. This is the right way to the castle." Brooke says, "How do you know for sure?" "We have a destiny" Brooke looks at sculptor. Brooke asks, "What do you mean by that?" Sculptor says, "It's a secret." Brooke looks at the dark castle. Brooke asks, "Do you know the way in?" "Of course." Brooke says, "Then lead the way." The pair begin running towards the castle. The pair run along the path as it goes along a hill. The castle is still dark except for the light that shines around the windows and doors. The pair run up to the gate, they see a goblin patrol walk up to it. The patrol stops and the goblins look at the pair of them. The goblins are about to attack but a soldier calls out, "Hey! What's going on? What are you doing here?" the soldier asks the pair. "We're here for the quest. Open the gate!" Sculptor says. The soldier grabs a ring of keys that are hanging nearby and opens the gate.  The pair walk inside and greet the others. "The way out is in the basement." They run downstairs and find the chained door glowing. Brooke asks, "So what is this? A magic door?" "I guess you could say that. This is our way back to earth. There's a key somewhere that unlocks this door." They both search the room. Brooke messes about with props until she falls into a bookcase. "Is that...it?" "YES!" Sculptor reaches for the key and hears a gun shot from upstairs. "I think they found us..." "Brooke. When I say jump, Jump." The soldiers footsteps get closer. Sculptor twists the key and unlocks the door. "Jump!" Brooke jumps into the void looking tunnel. The door shuts behind her.

"It's just me now... I can do this..." She runs as fast as possible and takes every corner she can. She sees a big illuminating door frame. "What is that?" She leaps into the frame to be caught by Sculptor. "Woah, Woah you almost jumped off a building!" "Thanks for that." The wind was shaking them both. "Grab onto me, We are going to jump off this building. If I'm correct there should be water below us. You ready?" "Not really." "3,2,1-" A sniper bullet went straight through Sculptors stomach. She falls off the building unconscious. "It's my time to shine." Brooke jumps off the building ready to grasp onto Sculptor. Bullets are being fired at Brooke. She is dodging them. She grabs her shoulders and tries to open up an old parachute. The parachute doesn't open up. "Ok, water it is." She aims for the water while free falling. They hit the water with a massive SPLASH! 

It was now Night and Brooke was just gaining back her consciousness. She has seen Sculptor running down the stream. "That was a hard hit. But I need to grab Sculptor." She swims over to her and pushes her onto shore. "You there?" Sculptor mildly opens her eyes. "I'm sorry. T-that was my final r-rebirth. It was fun while it lasted. Goodbye." "No, no, no, NO!" Brooke runs over to the bridge and lets her anger out. "This isn't fair. But I'm still being hunted by the soldiers. I need to hide." She runs away and camps out in the streets. "Guess I'm sleeping in the streets for the night. It's so cold." In the morning she woke up confused why she was outside. She remembered that she was hiding. She was so hungry and thirsty. She had no money. Later that evening she died in her sleep because of starvation. This was the end. There's always an end. That's how it works.
