Sold: The UnderWorld (Book 5)

Posession

Rosella:

We reached the underworld entrance, amd entered. My angle hit something, and I stumbled in the darkness. I felt William take my hand, and help me throught the dark cave. We entered the darkness of the underworld at last. James took a sharp intake of air, his body trembled.

"James are you okay?" Samuel asked. James nodded his head, and slowly opened his eyes. His body was tense.

"James" Edmund said. He held his hand out and James took it. Edmund's eyes became unfocused again before letting go.

"Aw shit, your still posessed" he informed us.

"What am I to do then?" James asked. One of his eyes was silver.

"I have no idea how to unposess someone" William stated.

"Can you hold on to your conciousness?" I asked.

"I can try" he said, but his tone held a hint of doubt. Along the pathway from the cave we walked. Trees stood all around us. I could on occasion hear something grunt, growl, or a bird calling out in the silence. The grunting became louder as I heared an animal cry out loudly.

"Somethings out there" I said.

"I know, it's... Not quite alive" Edmund said.

"I was feeling the same thing, its dead, but not" James agreed.

"You been a vampire?" William asked. Edmund shook his head,

"It' different. I don't sense a lust for blood. I sense hunger" Edmund replied. Someone behind me groaned, and I turned to see an injured woman walking towards us with a man and woman. They were all terribly injured. I made a move towards them when James stopped me.

"Those aren't people, those are zombies" James informed me. I readied myself to fight. Zombies in groups of five were coming from all around. There had to be over a hundred, too. I charged besided my mate and began to fight.

My fist went right through the head of a young child who had died long ago.

"Sorry" I said immediately. She collapsed as I moved to fighting more of the walking dead.

"Remember they're already dead. Hold no strength back" Edmund reminded us.

"I know" William replied. I ducked to avoid a punch to the face but the zombie grabbed me neck. Dead or not their intelligence levels ranged from dumb as a sack of potatoes to military strategists like Edmund. The undead slammed me against a tree as he moved forward with his teeth. Hot, rancid-squirrel breath met my nose. I nearly passed out at the smell. My body slipped into the darkness of m shadow. His hands around my neck clenched down on nothin when I appeared behind him, and slammed my fist down in his back. Bones cracked, and popped loudly; it was sickening to hear. He collapsed, and I moved on to throwing a zombie off of William while he fought a small group. It was tiring, but I was sure in a fight like this we'd win.

Edmund: During the fight James's eyes became silver, but he was fighting the zombies. 'He may be possessed, but as long as he doesn't attack one of us it's okay. Besides he me snap out of it before the fight is over' I thought with great hope. I grabbed a zombie by the shoulder, and swung him around. His shoulder popped, and I slammed him into several other zombies. A zombie charged, I jumped over him when I realized there had been a zombie behind me. The charging zombies ran skull to skull each other.
