Apocalypse Reborn: Rise of the Dreadlord

Sam continued to just stare daggers at Turner when Kelly and her son stepped behind the skeletons. AJ came running to Sam from the back of the crowd.

”Sam don do anything that you would regret ” he yelled out to Sam as he walked in front of Turner.

”What would I regret when all I want to know is why does he want me dead so bad ” Sam narrowed his eyes as the 3 awakened skeletons grew agitated. One of the three skeletons started to tremble as a crackling could be heard from its body. Its soul fire burned brighter as a small flame was lit in its chest and the bones turned grey.

”MASTER HAS ASKED A QUESTION MORTAL ” A loud blood curdling voice drifted out from the skeleton. A ding from the system reverberated in Sams head.

*Awakened Skeleton has evolved*

A skeleton has upgraded its existence after remembering what it once was. A Wraith has been brought into unlife.

*A new skill has be given – Honored by Death -*

Sam waved away the notices as he watched everyone cower from the Wraiths scream.

”Sam did that skeleton just speak ” Chris whispered to Sam who just nodded.

”So who wants to answer my question ” Sam asked Turner and the crowd he incited. AJ sighed in defeat as he walked over behind the skeletons.

”I want your death. Your a monster just like the things you control ” George spit out shaking from fear. The small group left that was undecided just backed up leaving Turner, George and 3 others.

”Seems you don have as much clout as you think ” Truth laughed out at Turner and George.

”Keep quite slut. Don think we for a minute we don know that you are fornicating with this demon ” Turner yelled at Truth as he sweat bullets. Truth charged forward as a arm held her back.

”Let Sam handle this your only going to make it worse ” Chris said as he held back Truth. Griting her teeth she nodded and collected herself and stared daggers at Turner.

”Take your people and go ” Sam said as he shooed them away. Sam commanded the skeletons to to go back to cleaning and reinforcing the grocery store.

”You don have the authority to tell us where to go if we have to leave ” Turner grew bold seeing the skeletons leave. George added in a insult backing up Turner.

”I will give you a choice leave or join them ” Sam said as he pointed at the skeletons and walked away. Chris and Truth looked at each other before following Sam. The wraith continued to stare at the troublesome group with the two other awakened skeletons. Turner grew confused at the turn of events not knowing what to do next as his plan failed at every move.

”This was not supposed to happen you said everyone was going to join us and we get to control the food ” The lady holding her son latched onto Turners shoulder and said. Turner slapped her as she fell into the floor while onlookers watched.

”I never said such words bitch how dare you slander me ” Turner raised his foot and yelled. The lady cowered on the floor fearing being kicked by the meatball.

”You have a hour to leave or you stay here forever ” Sams voice sounded out as paled again she sobbed on the floor.

”He trying to kill us some help please anyone ” the lady screamed and sobbed crawling to the onlookers for backing as they walked away shaking there heads. The wraiths glowing blues flames just flickered and burned as it waited to pounce on the group. Sam looked through his stats while making his way to the back of the store. Chris and Truth grew antsy as Sam just continued to walk in silence.

”Alright so what do you want to do this quite thing is weirding me out ” Chris said as Truth just nodded her head in agreeance. Sam continued to walk without replying to Chris. The group made there way up the stairs to the employee lounge and Sam found a chair to sit down on.

”I have to make a decision to end those people and possibly a child and I dont know what I will lose to do so ” Sam put his head into his hand as he started to break down.

”I had a okay job making decent money not doing much but hanging out with friends and playing video games ” The tears running down his eyes as he vented to Chris and Truth. Truth started to turn red eyed from Sams ranting as she went in to hug him. Chris just walked over and patted his back not knowing what to say.

”I don want to lead, I dont want to pick who lives and who dies. The stupid **ing Apocalypse, these stupid **ing people ” Sam seperated his self from Chris and Truth as he kicked a chair. Chris walked to the door and just leaned against it waiting for Sam to finish venting as he wiped his eyes. Truth just stood there not knowing what to go as tears fell down her face. Sam look towards them seeing the grief in there faces, his shoulders dropped.

”Im sorry for burdening you two with my problems especially you I just met you ” Sam said looking at Truth. Sam sighed as he walked to Truth and gave her a hug, tears still running down her face. He walked to Chris and brought him in to a hug as well.

”Im sorry guys we all are going through that same thing and Im making you listen to me mope. Im fine now thank you ” Not knowing what to do Sam just sat back down on a chair. Chris jumped as a knock came from the door. Chris collected his self and opened the door as Jenna walked through.

”They are trying to take over the store by holding the kid hostage ” Jenna told Sam quickly while looking at him for guidance. Sam rose from his chair and ran down the stairs as quickly as he could. Speeding past the isles he made his was to the front hearing the women from before squealing about her son.

”Let go of my baby, what kind of man holds a kid hostage ” the women yelled. Everyone gathered around to watch the commotion as AJ and Joey were trying to talk down George who had a knife at the kids throat.

”Let David go George hes innocent, hes just a kid ” AJ pleaded to George. Joey had his staff raised threatening Turner and the rest of his small group.

”You
e the one who pushed us this far. Its all that damn Sams fault if only he wasn here ” George cursed out toward everyone gathered. Blood trickled down Davids neck as he cried for his mom. Sam told Jenna to make her way to the side to get a shot off on George as he moved forward through the gathered crowd.

”George let the kid go hes not involved in our quarrel ” Sam moved closer to George.

”Not another step or you watch him bleed out. Im not going back outside not with those things ” George said manically. Sam stepped closer with his hands up.

”Just let the kid go we can talk it out ” Sam pleaded to George. The knife was shaking in Georges hand as he took it off Davids neck and pointed it at Sam.

”Don tell me what I need to do. Im supposed to be in charge ME I SAID ME NOT YOU ” George roared out as he put the knife back on Davids throat. George snaps his head to the left as something crashes to to the floor. Jenna climbing up a shelf to get a better view knocks a few can good to the floor. George see Jenna and brings the knife across Davids throat. Sam rushes forward as Chris rushes from the right.

”NNOOOOO ” the women screams as blood pours from Davids throat.

”No no no no ” Sam catches Davids body as it crashes to the floor. Sam hold his throat as the blood wound gushes blood, the life fades quickly from Davids eyes.
