ShadowLight (a mcsm story)

Chapter 10

Forming a tight line, Jesse, Petra, Lukas and Ivor carefully navigated their way through the forest. It was deathly quiet as Ivor, at the front of the group turned left and right for any zombies; while looking over his shoulder to check if everyone was still with him. Lukas, who is behind Ivor read the map and whispered instructions to Ivor. Petra, who is behind Lukas polished her new, enchanted, gold sword. And Jesse, who is behind Petra looked over his back for any zombies that may approach them from behind. None of them said a word to each other, because too much noise attracts the zombies to the location. Suddenly Ivor came to a sudden halt causing the others to bump into each other.

"Ivor wha-" Jesse whispered shouted looking over.

Ivor immediately put a warning finger to his lips and pointed at the approaching figure in front of him. It was an infected, by her looks they could tell that she once wore a dashing yellow dress; which is now worn out and covered with black liquid. Her black hair nearly covered her face, but her inky black eyes could still be seen. What alarmed the group the most, is the fact that she held two iron swords in each hand; dragging them on the floor(Guess who!). The female infected swayed in a sickening motion as Jesse and the rest held their breath, praying that she wouldn't come any closer to them; doing so will give away their cover.

Fortunately, luck was on their side as the infected groaned and trudged away at the opposite direction of where they are heading. Everyone breathe a sigh of instant relief.

"T-that w-was too close!" Petra whispered.

Everyone nodded silently as they continued forward. They hadn't gone far when Ivor froze once more, there were now 5 zombies right in front of them. Their clothes are all stained in black, groaning softly, they are heading to their direction. "Nobody....move....." Ivor whispered carefully to the group, as they carefully tried to back away from them. When all of the sudden a hooded, human figure jumped right in front of them and swung her sword at the infected; killing them all instantly. "Wha-" Petra muttered, at the unknown savior.

"Ssssshhhhhhhhhh" the figure hushed her.

"Who are you?" Jesse whispered.

"Questions later, go now!" the figure responded as the night approaches.

"Why help us?" Ivor whispered suspiciously.

"Gut feeling..." the figure muttered in her breath.

"So come on before I change my mind." She added walking away.

Ivor, Petra, Lukas and Jesse looked at each other in silence; before following their hooded savior. After a while they came across an lake with an enormous waterfall that seemed to be leading towards the sky. "Great, we are lost we should have built a treehouse while we still can." Lukas muttered underneath his breath, "Um, where are we?" Jesse whispered asked the hooded figure. "My home..." the figure answered. Without wasting another second, the figure jumped into the lake, and swam towards the enormous waterfall.

After a few moments of hesitation, Jesse jumped in the lake, followed by Petra, Lukas and Ivor. "Good you lot are still with me, now come on!" the figure said, swimming towards the enormous waterfall. "You've got to be kidding!" Ivor muttered uncertainty as the figure blasted upwards and disappeared. "Let's go guys, it's getting dark out here." Jesse said swimming towards the waterfall. Jesse felt sudden force pushing him upwards like a rocket, it was faster than he imagined. Seconds later Jesse found himself facing an entire city above the clouds; he could here Ivor and the others gasping loudly at the sight of the view. "Glad you decided to trust me!" the unknown female smiled walking towards them. Now radiating underneath the city lights, the unknown figure had long, dark hair, a dark red sword on her hand, emerald green eyes, a yellow clip on each side of her head and a golden, orange dress. Similar to the pervious zombie female they encountered(Have you figured out who she is yet?).

"Uhh, thanks for saving our necks back there." Ivor said awkwardly.

"My pleasure!" the figure smiled

"You haven't told us your name yet miss!" Lukas said courteously.

"I almost didn't recognize you, but I'm more surprised you didn't recognize me Lukas! Petra!" the figure giggled.

"What?" Petra muttered.

"You're-" Lukas gaped.
