Phelix

Chapter 7 (Season 2)

"...Sean" A woman's voice was heard in Sean's dream, as he was suddenly surrounded by a darkness void. "...Sherri?" Sean realizes it's his wife, looking at her. Sherri walks up to Sean, feeling his face. "I miss you" she said. "..I miss you too...you don't even know how much..." Sean said. "You're a spitting image..". "I wouldn't want to look like a ghost, would I?" Sherri smiles. "...I know this is just a dream...I know it's not real" Sean said. "...But let's just pretend that it is...". "I'm here for you, Sean. I'll always be real for you" Sherri said. "Sean, I love you. You promise to protect me?". "...I promise..." Sean said. "Sean...Sean...".

"Sean!" Quinn wakes up Sean. "..What? What?" Sean grumbles. "Think you've been missing calls" Quinn gives Sean his phone.

After Sean got off the phone call, he returns to the group. "..It's an old voicemail...Ricardo's in trouble" Sean says. "Wait..Ricardo Dillon?" Jesse said, as Sean nods. "How old is it?". "A week ago" Sean says. "Who's Ricardo?" Casey questions. "An old friend, you might say" Sean says. "What's wrong with him?" Quinn says. "He called me, saying that he's in a town raided by demons. Sounded like he was in the thick of it" Sean said. "He has other friends with him. They were looking for apocalyptic omens". "Did he give a location?" Quinn questions.

An hour later, the group arrived at the town's location. When they got out of their vehicles, they saw the town around them as stranded. Dead bodies lying on the ground. Blood covering the streets. Looted stores. Empty vehicles with empty bloody car seats. The group took out their weapons, worried about their surroundings. "The hell happened to this town.." Jesse says. "Ricardo said it's raided by demons" Quinn says. "I have a bad feeling about this..." Penelope worries. "You don't say?" Jesse rolls his eyes. "So what's the game plan, hmm? Find any demon and waste them?" Adam says. "We find Ricardo first, try to get a grip of this" Sean says. "FREEZE!" A man yells, pointing a gun behind the group. The group stopped in their motion, slowly turning around. "Woah...calm down" Quinn says. "You're not one of them!?" The man said. "One of what?" Casey says. "One of those black eyed psychos!". "No, man. We're just trying to survive just like you" Jesse says. The man hesitantly lowered his gun, letting his guard down. "...It was just a normal week...then all of a sudden, people starting seeing black eyes! Going crazy!" The man panics. "Okay. Sir, calm down..." Quinn said. "What's your name?". "...Mark" the man says. "Okay, Mark. Have you seen a old black guy? About six feet? Kinda balding? Kinda ugly?" Sean questions. "I don't know..maybe? I've been too busy trying to survive" Mark said. "The people I've had to kill...I knew those people! They were decent people! I don't know what happened!". "Why haven't you tried calling the cops?" Casey says. "We tried...but there isn't any signal" Mark says. "..They must've cut the signal, so no one could call the police" Penelope says to the group. "We? There's more of you?" Adam says. "Yea, more survivors. We're hold up at the library. Basically built it into a fort base" Mark says. "Mind showing us to them?" Quinn says.

The group followed Mark, as he shows them to the library. There were four people waiting in the library, tensing up when they saw the group. "Mark, who are these people?" A man worried. "Don't worry, guys. They're here to help" Mark said. "That's Lisa, Warmen, Jane" Mark introduces. "And that's father Isaac" Mark points at a priest. "Name's Quinn. That's Jesse" Quinn introduces. "Sean" Sean shakes Warmen's hand. "My name's Penel-...Maria, my name's Maria. She's Casey" Penelope says. "Adam". "Warmen? Like the band?" Jesse jokes. "Mark, we sent you out there for a supply run, not to make new friends" Warmen says. "Would you get off my dick? This has been difficult on all of us. Sorry for trying to make allies" Mark said. "And what about you? You go awol for hours, no one knows where you're at". "We chose you as the leader of this little group because of your experience with the army. Because we thought you could handle battlefield conditions-". "Give me a break" Mark cuts off Warmen, walking away. "..How did you guys survive all this? Why didn't you try to leave?" Penelope says. "..We tried...there used to be ten of us..." the priest said. "...Some were kids...their parents...". "...I lost my husband..." Lisa says, as a silence followed after. "..Well, now there's eleven" Casey breaks the silence. "..You said something about a supply run?" Jesse says to Warmen.
