ShadowLight (a mcsm story)

Chapter 5

Jesse was busy putting on his armor, there had been an alert by the gates. Someone or something had gotten too close. In a zombie apocalypse, you can't just trust some stranger that comes into your safe zone. You've need to have defences to keep raiders and zombies out and companions to help you.

Jesse grabbed his enchanted diamond sword and went to see what the problem is; he and his friends, both old and new order, are the ones running the town and keeping it safe. He did one last check on his inventory before walking out. Ever since they were gone there had been changes. Ivor is the new leader of the old order, Lukas has gotten more protective of all of them and Petra is stopping at nothing to find the cause of the outbreak.

All of the sudden Jesse heard the guards shouting. He snapped out of his thoughts and ran towards the source of the ruckus. He found Olivia and Ivor standing near a crowd of guards. "Guys, what happened here?" asked Jesse. Olivia seemed to be at lost for words while Ivor looked like they are facing another witherstorm. "Guys?".

"Oh Jesse you wouldn't believe this..." Olivia stuttered.

She took Jesse's hand and pushed her way towards the crowd. In the middle of the crowd was a guy, with tattered clothes with multiple black stains all over his body. Jesse was lost for words, he couldn't believe it, that person is none other than Gill.

"GILL?!?!?!?!"

Lukas yelled in shock, behind him was the rest of the gang; Ellegaard, Magnus, Axel, Ivor and Gabriel. They were all lost for words. Gill it couldn't be him; he wasn't even infected but probably will turn at any hour, minute, second or at any moment at all. So they shouldn't let their guard down.

"he's...." Gill muttered.

Jesse and the others turned to look at Gill who finally spoke.

"Come again?" questioned Gabriel.

"He's....coming...." Gill muttered once more.

"Wait who's coming?" asked Lukas.

"THEY......ARE......COMING!!!!!" Gill shouted.

"Who's they?" asked Ellegaard.

Gill turned to Lukas, black eyes facing light blue.

"248, 68, 246..." Gill whispered softly.

Everybody screamed Gill had fainted., "SOMEBODY GET THE MEDICS!!!!" a male guard yelled. "HURRY!!!" screamed Lukas.

Jesse sat on the chair inside the order's temple along with the old and new orders. Gill was taken to the infirmary. He suffered many wounds and cuts in his arms and legs. No doubt he has been through a lot over the month he went missing; Olivia is still trying to recover from shock. Axel is rubbing comforting circles on her back. Lukas is pacing back and forth. Ellegaard and Gabriel are lost for words. Magnus looked like he is about to explode. And Ivor is deep in thought.

"How is this possible?" Axel asked.

"Honestly, I don't know," Olivia answered.

"This is quite shocking," stated Gabriel.

"248...68....246..." Lukas muttered.

"What is it Lukas?" Jesse asked.

"Ellie, could you punch those numbers on the map?" Lukas asked, ignoring Jesse's question.

"Why?"

"Ellegaard, PLEASE!!!"

Ellegaard nodded before pulling out a big map in her inventory. It wasn't long before she gasped loudly. "Oh my gosh! Is it possible....." She said in a shaking voice. "What is it?" questioned Magnus, looking over her shoulder. "Those aren't just numbers, they are coordinates!!!"
