Locker 101

chapter 24

"Jade."I hissed.

"Hey darling. Miss me?"

"Where is my mom? What did you do to Sam?"

"Oh you shouldn't be worried about them hun, you should be worried about yourself."

"Sorry to disappoint but I really don't care anymore. If you want to harm someone, let that be me. My mom, brother didn't do anything. I'm the one with the locker after all. "

"Oh sweety it ain't about the locker at all. It's about you. Your family wasn't supposed to happen. All of this is happening thanks to your mom. I'm sure Andrew filled you up on that before you.. killed him."

She wasn't sad at all saying the last part which frustrated me. She doesn't care about her son. Ofcourse she doesn't, she's a monster.

"You don't seem bothered about me ending him." I said, carefully taking out the gun.

"I might not be mother of the year, but that doesn't mean I have no feelings. I loved him. I'm just not used to showing emotions."

"what are you anyway? You're not human, are you?"

"Why would it bother you? But lemme tell you, shooting me won't get you anywhere, so i say we keep the weapons away and talk it out. If you got anything to discuss, you better hurry. We'll have company anytime... now."

I tilted my head to the direction she was starring at. Hundreds of walkers were approaching us. They were like a flock of sheep fledding to their new field. The ground under me was shaking . I've never experienced an earth quake but I assume this is what it feels like. I turned to face Jade and she seemed amused with the situation. I knew that if I stayed any longer, I would end up like a plastic bottle on the street that got run up by a car.

I had to make a plan fast. Let's see my choices here:

1) Wait for my faith with open arms.

2) Try running away.

3) Threatening to kill jade and spare her life for mine.

I mean all three sound stupidly ridiculous, but I had to do something. If I am gonna die, i better die trying.

As if she read my thoughts. She held my shoulder and said:

"Thinking of leaving so soon. C'mmon the fun is just starting."

Everything then happend in a flash. They were meters away from crashing into us. I closed my eyes and prayed a last prayer. When I opened them, I expected the pain, the agony, I waited for the feeling of my skin being tored, the drops of blood harmonising as they hit the ground. But I felt nothing. I heard nothing. I saw nothing but rows and rows of them. Standing still like soldiers waiting for their orders.

Jade besides me clapped once to get our attention. She never failed to make herself the centre of the light. Everyone of them apparently feared her and they had every right to. Seeing what she has done, she surely is very powerful. She then motioned for me to follow her. We stood on top of a hill observing the vast garden of the courthouse that is filled with hungry for flesh creatures.

"Now Lora, It's time for the big show. The one we all have been waiting for. But first, lest welcome our honorable guests. Sam and Mary."

Sam came out of the courthouse accompanied by two men with his head stuck to the ground and mom walked out of the zombie crowd. What was she doing there? It then hit me when i saw the scars all over her face and her torn clothes. They way her eyes turned red and full of aversion.

When she saw me and Sam, she glared and pointed at us. "You.." she said with a tone barely audible. She then launched at us with her fist first sending Sam to the ground and leaving a long scratch across my face. I cried in pain and brought my hand to my face. I felt my whole face burn and I fell on my knees.

Sam stood up again and allowed her to beat him up. I cried and yelled. Trying to get the human in her back, but the mom I knew was long gone.

With all the strength i had I sent my fist straight to jade's face. She was caught off gaurd but she only stumbled a little.

"YOU BITCH WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" I screamed.

I tried aiming another punch but I was held back by a couple of zombies.

"Easy there tiger. Save your stamena for your turn." She said while holding her nose.

My attention then went to Sam who was yet again on the ground with his face all bloody.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

"Yeah.. yeah sure. May I enjoy the show now?"

Punch. Thud. Punch.

"NOOOO! MOM DON'T PLEASE!" I begged but for no use. I watched her sending the last punch and ending him. She then began to tear his head open and eat all she could get out of him. It felt like I was the one being consumed. My face was pale and my breath hitched when I saw her starring at me. Showing me I was next on the list.

"That was fun!" Jade said with a smile plastered on her face.

I was too broken to reply. I knew that I haven't just lost my brother, but I've lost my mom as well. I've lost everything. I now know why Sam chose not to defend himself. He preferred death to fighting his own mother and living alone with nothing but guilt.

"Now, show number two. Let's get started!" Jade flicked her fingers and mom started roaring.

Contrary to what I expected, she didn't attack me. She went straight to one of the zombies. Within two seconds, all of them were beating each other up. Tearing and biting. Pulling... scratching... kicking ... punching.. eating each other alive.

"See lora, See what your mom's stuborness did. See what her sefishness did. She knew this will happen. We intended to do this apocalyps together, but she had to ruin the plans. Now thanks to her, everything is happening earlier and more blood is shedding. She knew the burden that comes with breaking the rules. All those were inncoent people once. See that, it's your friend Alexis. Remember her? Oh and that getting eaten there, is liam. He was a sweet one, wasn't he? Do you feel the guilt yet?"

I couldn't handle it. I was on the edge of totally breaking down and losing my mind. Seeing your loved ones getting hurt and knowing that you can't do anything about it is the worst torture ever.

Blood was everywhere. It wasn't long till all of them were dead on the ground.

"And now, strap on your seatbelts for the big ending!"
