Fear the Roaming Dead

Epilogue

"Your friends." Ken said standing in front of the cell. He held a clipboard and a toolbox to his side. Wally was sitting on his knees in the cell. He wore black jeans and a torn white tank top that was stained with blood. His sides were stitched up from previous torturing with Kenneth Buckley. Ken looked down at him. "Your friends are all dead." he said. Wally perked his ears up and gasped. "Dex is too?" he yelled.

Ken looked to the ground and nodded. "He went crazy and shot himself." Ken said quietly. He backed up and crossed his arms. "I'm gonna let that stew with you for a bit. The people you used to love the most are dead. Dex, Tinley, and Sam. They are gone." Ken said walking towards the door. He smiled and waved. "Goodbye, Wally." he said.

Wally rubbed his fingers through his greasy hair aggressively. He stood up and paced around the cell. He looked out of the cell window, into the busy streets of Aviana. Wally watched his own workers walk free among him while he was bound to the chains of Aviana. He heard a footstep behind him. Wally jumped and his heart skipped a beat when he saw who it was.

Sam was standing on the other side of the cell. She wore a long blue dress all the way down to her ankles. A dark blue flower tucked away in her hair. A large bandage wrapped around the left side of her neck. He hair was still up. Wally backed against the cell.

"We should've left you to die. I should've just taken in Dex. I had a good feeling about him." Sam said with a quick boom. Wally stayed quiet. "I had no idea you'd be a complete psychopath." she yelled. Wally looked to his feet and sighed.

"I was good. Until you guys came at me with your harsh rules and talking behind my back! You thought I was weird and that's was it came to be. You saw me as the bad guy before I ever did anything." Wally yelled. Sam put her hands on the bars. She sighed. "You could've been a good person. I expected it. I gave you a redemption chance back at the Factory. I believed you could change but you didn't. You proceeded to bleed me dry in that damned hallway." Sam said looking to the side.

Wally covered his eyes and sighed. "At least yours was private. Nothing like the humiliation I put Tinley through." he tried brushing it off.

"The humiliation you put me through?" he heard her voice. Wally looked up and put his hand over his chest. In Sam's place stood Tinley. In a pink dress that went down to her knees. She had her hair in a clean bun and a pink flower in her hair. She had her hands behind her back and a bruise strung around her neck.

"I wasn't humiliated. Not in the slightest. You made a fool out of yourself. Everyone now knows that you receive pleasure from killing people. You hurt yourself more than me. I know it." she yelled. Wally took a deep breath and leaned against the back part of the cell. "I loved you, Tinley. I didn't want to do it." Wally said quietly. His voice was breaking. Tinley shook her head. "Then why'd you do it!? You knew Dex. He was your best friend and you loved him too. You hurt him more than me when you killed me! I thought you could be redeemed. I'm the one that came up with the idea to capture you and not kill you!"

"Everyone voted against it. They all wanted to shoot you on sight! I told them no. Dex was angry at first but then he realized I saw the good in even the darkest places. They listened to me and I made a mistake. You ambush us and take me out. You kill Sam and you eventually killed Dexter. You got the power, but you lost the friendship." Tinley said quietly. Wally fell against the wall and ducked his head into his legs. He wept loudly. "Go away!" he cried out.

"She's gone. My turn." said a dark voice. Wally jumped up and screamed.

Dex stood in front of the cell wearing a suit. His tie was tucked into the tuxedo and he wore black slip on shoes. His hat was still on backwards but his hair was parted for once. Blood leaked out both sides of his head and drizzled down his neck and stained the white part on his suit. He waved and cackled.

Wally shook his head quickly. "No! No! Go away! Go away!" he screamed kicking at the air. Dex chuckled and crossed his arms. "Wally. I showed you the world." he said. Wally kept yelling, "Stop! Stop!" "You wanted adventure outside of your academic career. You did. We got involved in the drug gangs and you nearly got arrested. All in the loving fun of adventure? Right? When I got that gang leader that night, your face was so scared."

"Months later and you begin to enjoy that feeling of squeezing a trigger and ending a human life. That's how it is now for you." Dex yelled. Wally covered his eyes. "Go away! Go away!" he shrieked. "I'm not leaving until you're just as bad as I was." Dex said evilly.

"I kept you safe and you kept me smart enough to survive. We were a perfect duo until a girl got involved at Norridge. You like Tinley, became a good friend of hers, and tried to impress her. You wanted to keep us safe and impress us? You chose to find a source of power. You knew Sam wouldn't trust you to be on any kind of council. You found more ways. You took over a defenseless Factory and manipulated everyone to care about you! You use that power to try and scare us into fearing you!" Dex spat when he shouted. He stomped his foot. "You wanted to keep us safe yet you end up killing us!? How does that make any sense to you at all!? Only a psycho would thing to save his friends he'd need to kill them. Because that's what you did and you will now live in your own nightmare."

"No friends, no family, and no more power. Everyone who ever loved you is dead and the worst part," he leaned in closer. "It is all your fault." he said.

Wally screamed and shot upward. He looked at the cell door and Dex was gone. No one was there but a set of keys laying on the floor. He realized Ken dropped them as he was leaving. Wally's pupils were dilated and he was shaking uncontrollably. He reached out and grabbed the keys. He fumbled with them and unlocked the cage. Wally swung the door open and cackled.

He turned the corner and looked down the hallway.

All three of them were standing there at one time. The tuxedo and the two gowns. They looked at him and smiled with malice. "We'll always be with you, Wally. Your life is ours now." they said in sync. Wally rubbed his eyes and they vanished.

Wally sprinted out of the prison. No one was watching the exit. He looked around and located the south gate. He darted into a sprint. He heard voices yelling. Wally turned around every so often and more and more people became a tail to him. They chased him.

Wally made it to the guard stand. Jacob stood up there watching Wally sprint towards him. His gun was at his side. Wally leaped onto the ladder and made it to the top of the stand. Wally unclipped the ladder and pulled it up to him. He spun around and glanced at Jacob. Wally clocked Jacob in the nose and yanked the glock from him. He capped Jacob in the head and began firing at the angry mob beneath him. They all scattered and ran different directions. Some stayed on the ground and bled.

Wally tucked the pistol into his back pocket and vaulted over the wall. He landed with a thud and he rolled to recover. Wally wiped the snot off his nose and he kept hearing the voices of his past friends telling him over and over again that he was insane and crazy. He wiped his nose once more and continued sprinting down the paved road. Eventually, Aviana's walls disappeared in the horizon.

Wally kept running.

He would be back one day.
