The Risen

Chapter Thirty One

Our Own Tomb Pt.1
Jayce

Charity and I stood over Edwin's dead body.

"What do we do?" I asked out loud to her.

People started turning from sad and scared to angry, a few even pointed fingers to me.

"I bet they did this!" Someone yelled.

"Yeah! Just so there friend could be in charge!" Someone else yelled, agreeing with them.

Thats when Maya appeared and pracitally dragged me into Edwin's office inside the Chruch.

"What are you doing!" I yelled to her trying to break her grip.

She closed the door behind her, and I turned to see Dante, Cassi and Kiera standing the office as well.

"Whats going on?" I asked.

Maya spoke up.

"Ryder's missing" she spoke calmly.

"Max too" Dante said.

Cassi held Shadow in her arms, clearly scared of what was going to happen next.

"So?" I asked stepping towards them.

"Ryder wouldn't do this! I know him!" I spoke, but none of them, not even Cassi relaxed.

I looked to Cassi with worry.

"Cassi?" I asked her, trying to get her to back me up, but she wouldn't bugde.

"Tell him" Dante said with his arms crossed in the corner of the room.

Maya grabbed a fold out chair from the closet and forced me to sit.

"What?" I asked.

After a deep breath, Maya spoke calmly and slowly, so I would understand.

"Ryder is sick, extremely sick, he and I  get these sudden and very violent bursts of violence, I believe that he killed Edwin Steel" Maya said backing up.

I nodded my head, I already knew this.

"What about Max? Those people out there are angry, and they will kill him if they see him!" I said standing up from the fold up.

"Then let's hope Ryder killed him first" Dante said coldly.

That's when someone knocked on the door.

Kiera walked over and opened it.

It was Diana.

"Um, Kiera, we have a problem" She spoke.

We all walked out of the office to see people trying to physically brake there way into the Chruch, it appears Diana, along with Aces and Charity's help managed to barraciade the chruchs doors.

A large group of guards had a huge wooden log from a tree that they were using to ram the door, and Ace and Charity tried to keep the barraciades agasint the door.

That's when the window was smashed open, and Jeff jumped into the room, along with him were over twenty pissed off people, armed with knifes, guns and flaming torchs.

Kiera stepped forward.

"Everyone just calm down!" She spoke raising her hands to them.

But the mob didn't like those words.

"Calm down! You killed our leader because you want control!" Jeff yelled.

I looked to Dante and Cassi, who were standing next to me.
