Disciples Book 1: The County Line Compound

Chapter 3: Apocalypse

I go to inspect the hole, "What's this?" there's a dark liquid on one of the bricks. I finally realize what it is. "Dammit!" I say as I punch the wall. "Randy?" I jump as I feel a hand touch my shoulder. I turn swinging my sword and stopping before I slice their neck. "What? Oh, it's just you Rachel.", "yea its just me calm down," she said with a scared look on her face. Cody walks up, "What the hell G?". Cody asked. "Look that's blood," I say as I point at the liquid. "Well shit.", Rachel said as she looks down at her hand. "Thinking about Jack?" I asked. She nods and walks over to me as I give her a hug. Jack and his family disappeared before they even made it here. No one knows if they're alive or not. I remember the day she found out. She had tears down her face, I had no idea what to do, that was 16 months ago. Joseph walked up and also hugged Rachel, I let go and went past the wall. Which is a big no-no, "Randy where the hell you going?", Cody asked. "I'm going to figure out where this blood came from", I told him. Before I left there was an explosion near the Governor building. Many emotions hit me all at once, Shock, Anger, Sadness, Confusion. I screamed out "PAW!!!", I ran by the group before Joseph grabbed me. "Let me go damnit!", I yelled at him. "Randy you can't." He told me. "Why the hell not? My damn grandfather is in that building"., I said screaming at him. Then a mysterious figure came walking out of the fire of the building. All of a sudden I just froze, I felt literal hell inside. It was tall, it was taller than me or Joseph, long black hair, pure red eyes. I didn't even see any white, he had a sword made of spines. The next thing I know he's in front of me, I look around and no one is around. I see nothing but pure black, and him. I was trembling, shaking at his presence. I wanted to act confident but I couldn't. He walked forward, I try to move back but can't, as he walks towards me the more it makes me want to go insane. I'm starting to hear voices, it's muffled. I don't what they're saying, they keep getting louder and louder. I feel something slide across my neck. At first, I thought it was that strange beings sword but no. He was still several feet away it seemed, the once muffled voice became clear. "RANDY" "Randy", they kept saying. Why would they keep saying my name over and over again? Wait the voices keep becoming more clear, the voices I recognize them. Joseph? Rachel? Harley? I then awoke with tears coming down my eyes, "Randy, what the hell happened to you?", Joseph asked. "You just froze and started crying.", Cody told me. I looked around to see if that thing was around, it vanished. "Where it go?", I asked still looking around. They gang sighed, "Randy he showed up and just left", Cody replied. "But.."., Jared said with sadness in his voice. "Jared, when did you wake up?" I asked. "That's not important Randy! Anyway, look over to your left." Jared told me. I do as I was told and looked to my right, I notice three dead bodies. Scared, I walk over to see who it is. I grit my teeth realizing who it is, My cousin Abigail who just recently joined us, Joseph's mom Arlene, and Our Governor and my grandfather Robert. I try not to cry as they cover up the dead corpses.
