Madness: Shadows Tales

dead girl pt4

Two more days had passed but this time four men had been killed. Hung up on neuces in the middle of town for everyone to see. These weren't scrony men either but well built brothers all of them. Their only crime was breathing.
The Brunell brothers were farmers and ranchers from the country side. Just a couple miles outside the sleepless small town. Whose resident where locking their doors in fright for they thought they'd be next and they would if Brad got his way.
     Brad had seen the brunell's buying fertilizer from Boots livestock and depot. They were always together. Brotherly love. Family was the motto. Even in death. As they would soon find out.
     Brad followed them out of town to a barn behind their property. The barn itself was once deep red but after years of neglect had shed its color to a faded dullness that left it a halfway bown mix. It had attaching doors that seemed to sway in the wind.  
    Brad with the help of yellow eyes  butchered the Brunell brothers pulling out there eyes. As the yellow eyed creature had let out a wicked hollow cry, shaking the ground around it, sending black smoke from what looked like its mouth into a spiralling fog that entered the dead men's bodies.  As yellow eyes then shoved brass coins into their dead sockets.  While Brad slashed and stabbed them with a long black and silver machete. Brad cut a phrase into their bodies reading across all four of then saying"in sin you will be found but in death you'll see revalation."
The cops where puzzled this killer didnt stick to a genre. This mess was all over the place. Even the animals where starting to act funny. The wildlife left town sensing what felt like a curse. every mosquito dog deer every last one of them but the yellow eyed perky cat that shined its black coat where ever it decided to trot.
    Lucas Lafron knew it was brad but didn't know how he accomplished such a feat for the Brunell's were the strongest men in the community. He though," he had to have help. He couldnt have done this by himself. He's not smart enough" Somethings not adding up. He decided in this moment, "i gotta take him down fuck the law this is something else completly."  He was right. He didnt know it but he knew the answers to all his questions. He just wasnt asking the right ones.
Lucas's mother had told him spirits are among us living, walking and even trying to cross over. Trying to communicate. Trying to come back to the physical world. She told him a story saying it in her sweet old hoarse smokers voice,"an angel visited me one. It told me there are great evils in this world. they want to consume the light. They will do whatever they can to dimish the latern we all carry around. The angel told me my son with grace we can accomplish life. It stood up luckey with a glow so bright it could make your head spin. It said your son will be in great danger one day. So listen carefully. You must not falter but see strength. The dead will rise. He'll need to be armed with light. The things that guide his soul in life. It will save him." Then the angel disapeared.. Lucas would do anything to stop this. His mother's belief's where his. He thought his mother's beliefs were a little extreme but he himself had seen a ghost. When he was a boy. What he believed as his father. Right after his father died of a heart attack. He had told Lucas" you'll be fine my boy the world will throw things at you but dont worry you'll curb the competition. Your strong! a lafron!"  Lucas hoped for life after dead.
    Lucas believed deep in his heart right down to his bones. That he could stop this. He'd give his best effort to do so. Even if it meant death but was he ready for it. If it came down to it did he have the strength to go through with it. He didnt know but thought we'll wait and see.

The day after the Brunells where hung up in the middle of the town. The cops came to cut them down.  After doing so, they left the Brunell's lying on the ground.
The cops started talking unaware of what was about to happen. With there backs turned standing around in a circle contemplating conspiracies of what had happened and who could do such a horrible gruesome act of ugliness.. "Who could do such a thing" they all thought in unison
   One of the cops a rookie named Freddie Dismol a ginger with bright orange freckles said the brunell's deserved it "there dicks anyway. The bewildered cops hadn't seen the lifeless bodies. who decided to rise in this moment bearing vicious smiles showing sharp teeth and grey battered skin with dark black veins running up to there eyes. All four had risen. Ready to attack all the living breathing characters that dared to show there faces. They would ravedge them like savages every last fleshy substanced filled living blood pumping human that dared to cross there path. They would steal the light from their bodies. till there was nothing left but darkness in a hollowed out abyss. We call death.
    The oldest and biggest of the dead Brunells was Greg. He was a lumberjack of a man. He wore big suspenders and a bright orange and red flannel shirt. He grabbed freddie and another small cop with brown shaggy hair by the neck raising them off the ground in an instance sending black smoke from his mouth into there mouths and eyes. Then dropping them to the ground. The two men started convulsing. There skin turned grey with emotionless eyes now black as the veins appeared. The other cops were in shock. A tall lanky blonde cop managed to grab his 9mm sending 4 shots into Greg's chest. It did nothing. It really just pissed him off. Greg kept charging them.
Then the rest of the dead joined overtaking the cops. After they did that for it was a breeze. the now dead army with one mind decided to spread its love to the rest of the town.

Lucas lafron was eating lunch at Lucky Lucie's diner. He had salsbury steak and green beans with mashed potatoes. He knew it was made from scatch everything there was. Thats why he loved the place.
He got a call. Right in the middle of enjoying his fabulously made meal.  He picked up his flip phone in a cheery mood saying," how can i help you." The voice shrilled in fright"get down to the square there's trouble. Something weirds happening!. Then the voice hung up the phone. He recognised the voice as his dispatcher Sandy Crump.
   A moment later, he got another call. He was paying his bill running out the small quant diner. He found very pleasant. This voice sounded ominous but calm it said,"meet me at the zoo in 10 catch me if you can." Whoever it was decided to hang up too.
22a
A couple hours before the dead rose.
Brad was sitting on a rocking chair placed in the middle of his nicely lit up jackolatern of a porch. He had lit it on fire saying"its time baby! do you hear me! its FUCKING time! the show has reached home. Now lets light it up like theres no tommorow." Laughing that hillariously cruel bellow.
Elena knew something was coming something bad. How long had brad and these creatures, monsters, whatever they are, been planning this. She thought,"brads a fool for listening to whatever they are. for evil things lie! thats what they do." Whatever brad had thought they were gonna do they weren't.
Brad didnt mind.  He was now bat shit over the fence crazy. There's no coming back from that. He passed the point of reasoning flying away into the wind in fact. He passed the torch on every porch sending all the houses ablaze. A whole neighborhood filled with brimstone fire and smoke. The way he liked it in a mess of trouble with fright on the loose.
22b
The black smokey thing with pure black in its eyes from the zoo was now at the zoo releasing the animals from the cages. for they where the only ones left in town.
It spoke to each animal in unison telling them to attack putting anger into each one of there essences changing each purilly lit glowing beacon into a foul odor of darkness and despair.
22c
Brad had finished his job of poorly lit manners. He heard kids,mothers and other folks screaming, crying in pain as they were burning alive from his will.
   They couldnt escape for yellow eyes appeared telepathically locking them into there doom. The townsfolk in the houses tried to escape throwing chairs at windows, ramming the door. Mr. Rickle Brad's neighbor used an axe to slash the door but none of these things worked. It all bounced off ricocheting right back for each attempt was useless.
    Brad decided to call Lucas saying come to the zoo. Then hanging up. Laughing the whole way there. He had armed himself with a taser, a 9mmbereta and a machete the same one used to kill the brunell's
    This escalated Elena's fury sending her into a rage. Her hair stood up spreading like an electric shock brought by plugging in a light that ended with you zapping yourself. Like in the movies. Her eyes had begun to change to a foggy grey. Her aura  stood a deep grey piercing darkness. Her once happy loving self had all but left her. It was now replaced with anger. Complete and utter anger.
23
Lucas had went to the zoo. in his new black crown vic that had been given to him by the Department. After his accident that totalled his. He didnt leave his vehicle. He was watching the stampede of animals rampaging  through the doors of the zoo.
They rammed his car. breaking windows clawing the sides. which left big scratch marks on it. He sat in shock for these animals didnt look like animals anymore, not regular ones anyway but dark horribly grey beasts with black in each of there eyes.
   He reved up his car. Ramming the beasts. He got through. After shooting a couple of them. He used a whole clip on them and only had one replacemt with him.
23a
Brad had been standing ontop the lions cage. On a thin but wide lookout spot, a pathway. Watching the dectective. He was hoping the beasts wouldn't get lucas and to his relief they didnt.
   Elena was down below standing in the cage itself. As the black eyed creature was standing only several feet way.
The yellow cat was perched beside it. Staring directly into elena's eyes. It spoke to her. In her mind saying,"the time has come! Dont do what it wants plz."
24
Lucas Lafron got out his car pulling the gun from his holster holding it out like he was trained to do. He screamed"brad get the fuck out here you rat fuck its time to pay the piper" he heard Brad shout back," come and get it you geriatric fuck. Im ready to revolt in revelation. Do you hear the song my friend! its glorious!"
Lucas followed the voice till he was in a big wide open space next to the otters and penquins. It was layed out with cement nothing else between the two but the spirits lurking watching unoticed to a living eye. when he seen brad. He was smirking, showing a hellashious grin. Laughing that insane mans evil bellow.
24a
The two shadow people (creatures) watched all this. Elena got the feeling the black eyed one was soaking it all up pleasantly with a living feeling of happiness.
The yellow eyed one looked sulken like it didnt want to be there but had been forced to.
25
Brad lit a malboro red screaming to lucas," you want one bud? Its gonna be your last"
Lucas yelled back with anticipation" those are gonna kill you but not before i do. You dumb fuck. Why did you do this."
Brad answered laughing like he was having a ole good time saying,"because i fucking want to." He quickly raised the gun out his belt and took his shot but so did Lafron.
The shot had missed brad whooshing by his ear. he had heard it but he struck home hitting lucas in the lung.
Lucas fell struggling for air. Brad could hear him gasping spitting blood.
  Brad started to walk toward Lucas. Dropped the machete from where he hid it. In his right sleeve. It slid down glacefully with ease. It was now attached to his hand ready to execute.
25a
The black eyed shadow creature looked at elena saying in its overfilling but low pitch surrounding voice,"its time. Time to rebel. He'll kill that man if you dont stop him. Do you want to see the garden? Revel in its glory. Know its passion? Find its truth? Do you! Its your only chance! Eden awaits!the real eden!"
The yellow eyed cat had relinquished the servant inside it. Spewing out black smoke that formed into the creature we all know and love. It spoke to her too saying,"stay good my dear. Stay in the light! You dont want this life. Its cruel. Its no place for you sweet child. Look to the heavens. Look to grace. Save yourself. Plz!!!!"
25
Brad put the machete to Lucas's stomach saying,"any last words. It was a pleasure to know you." Laughing that now damned laugh.
Lucas looked into his eyes spitting blood from his mouth with strength in his voice," fuck you"
Brad raised the weapon of lucas's mass destruction ready to strike him into nothingness.
Elena screamed piercing through to the other side of her aura in the same dark grey getting darker. as her foggy eyes lit up glowing a speechless spark. She jumped into lucas's body!
Elena used her mind to throw Brad's machete across the cement. while sending brad flying right into a wall. Leaving him suspended in air as her anger rose in every bone of her foggy aura every moment growing. She could feel the power of anger. She liked it coursing throughout her. She seen and heard the black eyes shadow thing screaming,"do it! Its here! Its time!kill him! Now" repeating it louder and louder each time.
   She raised the gun unloading the whole clip into brad. Killing him. He faded to the darkness.
26
Elena left lucas's body.  he now layed on the ground dead. Lifeless! Elena then felt a sensation go throughout her body as she changed to a full black smokey figure with yellow eyes. She had transformed. As the darkness overtook her body speaking to her in many voices each saying,"your home now!you're finally home. Eden awaits your arrival."
    The black smokey creature levitated effortlessly through the air leaving a trail of smoke till it stood infront of elena. It spoke this time with a grace of fulfillment in its low pitch voice,"you did it. You found redemtion! what did it cost? Only a soul my dear. Your soul. Rejoice! You freed me from my grave. You found glory. That souless man suffered. You freed him too . The wickness of his soul came from inspiration. The mind plays dreadful tricks. Its hard to see clarity in sanity. My dear the day he accepted me into his life was the day he accepted death. Now child come. Come to eden. we shall see its fruits . The gardens awaiting our presence. It shall see life again. It shall breathe again."
The black smokey creature turned into walter grabbing both of the yellow eyed creatures guiding them through a white and black light that shot up from the ground like lightning then a quick boom sound as it jolted and zagged six feet in the air. It guided them into the light.  they dissapeared into what other folks would call the underworld!

  (Story two is done will we see elena again. Maybe who knows for what is dead is alive in anothers perseption of life after death. I hope you enjoyed it.)
