World of darkness : book 3 : the red war

Part 24 : the carving.

( pov Lilith)

I was just training with my sword when i heard some coms chatter about a certain some one I despise .

From what i have heard it appears we have lost contact with irifash near one of our outer Territory supple camps , rumours mostly say she either may have been killed or captured by the humans good riddens honestly.

At first i was happy she may have gotten hers but then some one called me directly.

Unfortunately i have been tasked with taking out a search party for her greaaaaaat , i grabbed my sword and put it on my back which made it Transform into the armour .

" just perfect im sent to find my rival for my fathers approval isnt the gods nice to me " i looked in a mirror while saying this and even i was surprised by how angry my face looked.

I put on my battle mask as i walked out of my room , the door opened as i walked out and i went down the right hallway to meet up with the search party i would be going with.

While i took a smaller ship down to the frost bourne city down below my fathers warship , when i landed i walked out to see shane who looked like he had been attacked by something.

I walked over to him " shane are you ok ?" I asked him looking at his face since it looked like he had bruises.

Shane " you know when i said there was some under ground areas in this city turns out they had some large zombie who talked to himself like he was insane down there , there was no power and i didnt think there was any life down there so i didnt have my guard up and when i opened what was like a cell door he attacked me " he must have just got the jump on him , if i see that zombie ill kill him no one attack my friend......pushing it lilith come on.

" are you hurt baldy ?" I asked him as i brought him over to the ship i came down on " hey you people tell the pilot to bring shane up to the command ship " one of the ships workers nodded and went off to tell the Pilot of my order.

Shane " im fine now since ive cleared the city i will remain in my lab " he hopped into the smaller ship.

" was there anything else down there ?" I wanted to know if there was anything worth down there.

Shane " i just did some scans nothing was there but apparently a decent bit underground theres a few cave systems under this fort but we have no reason to go mining down there' the door of the ship closed and it flew with shane on it.

Now with that taken care of i ....oh yeah....have to go find irifash. I hope shes a corpse when we find her.

I joined with the other troops for the search group and we all got on a transport ship, we landed in the destroyed supply camp and saw all the bodies of our fallen soldiers.

I left most of the group to clean up all the bodys , meanwhile the rest of us went into the forest to look for irifash.

We followed trails of dead spiders of hers to try and find her , we split up to cover more ground which lead me to see her i think.

I walked closer to see her stuck in some sort of hole kept in by some tress.

The second I realised she was stuck i began to laugh uncontrollably, she was not impressed.

" HA HA HA HA HA !!!!. What's the matter spider a couple of 'weak' humans stopped you and got you stuck in a small hole ?" I kept laughing.

She hissed at me full of anger " LET ME OUT OF THIS HOLE NOW !!!!!" I made my mask fold away just to smile at her full of smug.

Suddenly i saw some one walk out from one of the trees, they slowly walked towards us and stopped just a few feet away from irifash.

Wait ...hes exactly as shane said what the zombie that attacked him is like.
