Chapter 79 - Chapter 79 A Mysterious Man In The Graveyard

After throwing the ghoul into the lake Thomas sat down and held one of his shoulder as he mumbled "Dammit Opal just gave me this jacket back." Scarlett approached Thomas and asked "Are you going to be alright?" Thomas reached into his satchel and began to sew the tears on the shoulders while mumbling "That bastard should count himself lucky that he can't drown." Scarlett stared at him confused as she asked "Why are you more concerned about your jacket then your injuries?" Thomas glanced at her as he said "My body will heal on its own however the jacket is a pain to fix every time something tears it." Scarlett sighed as she said "I'll be right back I'll go get daisy." Thomas watched as she walked out of the graveyard and out of sight as he mumbled "I guess she's right I am losing a lot of blood." Thomas stared at the moon as he mumbled "How much longer do I have to wait for this guy to show up?" Thomas continued to sew his jacket while waiting for Scarlett to return with Daisy so she could help patch up his shoulders. After a little while some of the ghouls approached Thomas and thanked him for getting rid of the self proclaimed undead warrior as Thomas stared at them confused while saying "Aren't you guys suppose to look out for one another?" They stared at him as they said "He always drove off all of our visitors and people started thinking we were all viscous creatures who feasted on people." Thomas stared at them as he asked "You eat people?" They shook their heads as they said "We're already dead why would we need to eat." The ghouls crowded around Thomas as they asked "Was he strong?" Thomas sighed as he mumbled "Why do I always draw attention to myself?" Thomas glanced at the ghouls and said "He wasn't strong but the fact that nothing I did seemed to keep him down for very long definitely made him annoying." After waiting for awhile Daisy and Scarlett arrived. As Daisy approached Thomas she looked at his shoulder and asked "What did you do this time?" Thomas stared at her as he mumbled "She's probably mad again." Scarlett began to say "He protected me from axes that were being thrown." Daisy glanced at Thomas's injuries as she sighed and said "As long as the injury isn't too serious." Scarlett pulled out some bandages as she told Thomas to take off his shirt so she could wrap the wounds. Before wrapping them however she poured some disinfectant on it as she said that it would help with the rust that Scarlett had warned her after she told Daisy about the axes. As she handed Thomas a rag she said "Put this in your mouth and bite." Thomas stared at her confused but did it anyway as he asked "Why do I have to bite down on this?" As she poured the disinfectant onto the wounds Thomas began to shake with agony as the rag muffled his screams of pain. After Daisy stopped pouring it she said "Stop your whining this is your fault to begin with!" Thomas spit the rag out as he said "That's fair bit you could've given me a warning." She stared at him as she said "What kind of moron wouldn't know about disinfectant?" Thomas stared at her with an annoyed look as he asked "What the hell is disinfectant?" Daisy sighed as she said "It's so you won't have to worry about the rust on the axes." Thomas stared at her still very confused as he said "I think I get it now." Scarlett glanced at Daisy and whispered "He still doesn't have a clue." Daisy sighed as she said "I know." They stared at Thomas as Daisy asked "Why are you in a graveyard surrounded by ghouls?" Thomas stared at her as he said "I'm waiting for someone whose been bringing the actually dead back to life and then controlling them." Scarlett stared at him as she asked "Don't ghouls normally eat flesh?" One of the ghouls stared at her as they said "That is a very offensive stereotype." Scarlett apologized to the ghoul as Daisy glanced at Thomas and asked "How long do you plan on waiting here?" Thomas stared at the moon as he said "I dunno but I could be here for a while." Daisy stood up and walked away as she said "Don't stay up all night we're all planing to start traveling to the next town tomorrow." Thomas yawned as he said "I'm not planning on giving up." Daisy turned around and began to walk towards the gate as she said "If your not back by sunrise we'll swing by to pick you up." Thomas watched both Scarlett and Daisy leave as he mumbled "All I managed to accomplish is getting rid of one annoying corpse." Thomas walked over to a tomb and laid down on one of the steps as he stared at the moon and began to fall asleep. While laying their he started to hear screeching around him as he woke up he looked around but couldn't see a thing due to a dense fog that must've appeared while he was asleep. Thomas stood up and began to walk through the fog as he mumbled "Can't a guy shut his eyes for a while and take it easy." While walking through the fog he felt a hand grab him by his leg as Thomas mumbled "This feels familiar." Thomas grabbed the hand and pulled the ghoul from the ground as he said "Sorry to disturb your nap again but I have some questions." As Thomas was face to face with the ghoul it began to bite at Thomas. Thomas stared at the ghouls eyes as he said "You don't have any pupils, your eyes are completely white." Thomas punched the ghoul directly in the head and then dropped it onto the ground as he mumbled "This graveyard no longer has any friendly ghouls does it?" Thomas sighed as he said "Maybe I should've just taken an easy job." Thomas began to walk further into the fog while shouting "Marco!" Thomas continued to walk through the fog while yelling this until he seen the silhouette of a person. As Thomas seen him he snuck up behind him and grabbed him by the back of his shirt as he said "Your suppose to say Pollo." The man turned and faced Thomas as he said "Release me at once." Thomas pulled the man closer as he seen that he was wearing a mask Thomas grabbed it and asked "Who would want these ghouls to attack people?" The man slapped Thomas's hand away as he fell to the ground he quickly scurried away into the fog and disappeared out of sight. Thomas smiled as he said "You can run but you can't hide." Thomas began to walk towards the man as he said "It doesn't matter where you hide, I'll always find you." The man began to chant a spell as Thomas continued to walk towards him he mumbled "If this guy manages to turn every ghoul and corpse in this graveyard into a mindless goon he won't have much trouble beating me." After the man stopped chanting the spell he shouted "Attack my mindless zombies!" Thomas glared at where he was standing as he he asked "If I kill you does the spell revert?" The man shouted in a shaky voice "Y-you won't be able to stop me!" Thomas walked towards him as he grabbed him by the shirt once again he whispered to him "I found you." The man began to panic as he shouted "Quickly my undead minions attack him and save me!" Thomas felt two hands grab onto his back as he quickly thrown the man at them and said "I don't have a weapon but I shouldn't need one." Thomas bent back down and picked the man back up as he said "If you can undo this spell I may let you live." The man began to panic as he began to swing at Thomas he landed a hit that landed directly in Thomas's face. Thomas glared at him as he said "That punch was pathetic." The man pulled out a dagger and began to swing it at Thomas but it was quickly stopped once Thomas grabbed his other arm and said "I've been stabbed enough today." The man began to laugh as he said "The one I've been searching for has awoken!" Thomas took the dagger and dropped the man as he said "Sit tight I'm gonna deal with this ghoul your talking about." The man began to laugh as he shouted "Your as good as dead." Thomas glanced at him as he said "If you try to move, I'll find you and guarantee you a painful death." The man stopped laughing as he said "I won't run, I'm going to sit here and watch you die." Thomas smiled as he looked up at the moon and said "This guy better not be a disappointment."
