Blood Moon. Age Of Survival

chapter 10

Zombies, no, they are humans, but they were in an old black robe and hat, and they had some pet guns different from our guns. They looked like someone from the 90ties. 

They circled us, luckily I had got to wake the rest up but it to late as the strange men, attacked our base and took every one of us, though Leo tried to fight back, he jumped on one of the black men and tore his neck off, but he didn't drink his blood, I don't see the reason he shouldn't, but as he made to attack the other invader the man about thirty feet long shoot at him, first I thought it was a gun but it turned out to be powder so it filled the air around Leo, his eyes double and he dropped down, still breathing heavily but he couldn't move. 

"You better stay still and don't end like a piece of log during our conversation," the man said, his eyes twitching evil.

I looked at the gun in his hand, that is a weakness for a zombie.  

Who is This man?

                       ~~

The man and his men tied us up against a tree and surrounded the forest. The tall man who I thought could be their leader sat in front of us along with two men who looked at us like they could murder us in a minute and something was retraining them from doing so, while the man that Leo bit his neck laid motionless on the floor, they didn't even take a second look at him like he was none of theirs.

"So" the man begins as he scanned us with his eyes."I thought we have the brave bob here, but it turns out to be minors on another dangerous mission for him, while he sits back and watches them do his work" 

"What do you mean? and who are you to talk about Bob like that?" Leo yelled from where he was tied. Though he couldn't move his body, his mouth did the talking.

The man laughed. "I should have introduced myself earlier, I am Drake, dark drake if you would call me"

Mary chuckled." Dark drake, what kind of name is that?"

Drake looked at her, and I thought he would fire his mysterious bullet at her, but he just turned his head and laughed.

"Yeah, it sounded lame. But I guess it should run down Bob's spine, and he would pee in his pants," he said.

Mary stopped laughing, and I wondered what she was thinking. This man is someone dangerous and most of all it seems he had some connections with Bob which was unfriendly but what could be it?.

"Ever heard of the nightstalker hideout?" He asked.

We didn't answer, so he stood up, moved towards Damon and Blake, and hit them with the bottom of his guns. 

Damon bent with pain, and blood dripped from his lips while Blake cried in pain.

"If you don't answer me then your friend is going to face brutal torture which would be a hindrance with what you are searching for I guess where Vance is "

How did he know where we were going and that we would need the two siblings? And how did he even know Vance?

"Surprised, right?" Drake asked. "You know the three of us go a long way back than you imagined, the nightstalker and zombie stuff, you know it kind of shit to me "

Shit, did he just say shit when everyone was fighting for survival? All he could say was shit. I felt enraged, but I couldn't do anything.

"Tell me where Bob is, and I am going to spare them," he threatened, putting the real bullet into the gun and pointing them at the trio. "Or else they are gone"

"Okay, we will tell you," Mary blurted out. Leo shot her an angry look, but she ignored it and faced Drake.

"I would tell you only if you choose to help us "

Drake takes his gun off Damon and Blake, then he faces her, a look of surprise on his face."Are you trying to negotiate with me, young girl?"

Mary nodded. She seemed braver than I had seen her before. This was not the girlfriend that I knew until a few weeks back, but I guess it changed her.

drakes smoothen. "Okay let hear you"

"We are on our way to the city to meet Vance, and we are a long way, and if we do not make it on time he could kill everyone and turn them into a flesh eater, if you could give us a ride there then we are going to tell you where Bob is"

Drake burst into laughter. The rest of his men joined him. "This is beyond my power, little girl," he said. "But if you insist," he takes a look at his, an understanding passed between them. " Then we would like to oblige"

I coughed what they said. They agreed to negotiate. I looked at Mary, a smile spread across her lips. How on earth??.  Leo glared at her angrily like he was going to eat her up, but still, he couldn't move a muscle.

"Then off we go, fellas," Drake said. And signaled for his men to release us. 

But I get a strange feeling about this: is this going to go well for us?
