Chapter 19 - Mutilated scorpion

"A picnic? It's awesome!" Williams exclaimed.

They both sat on the red clothes, eating, drinking and there were lots of laughter.

Williams also caught up on what happened when he was in a coma.

It all so happens that Bella got bored of carrying Williams around hiding in corners so she decided to create a safe heaven for the people from the apocalypse, a place where they can put their mind at rest.

Amazingly, it was successful albeit stressful. She complained about all the strenuous works she had to do all alone.

"So will you tell me who poisoned you now?" Williams required.

Bella sighed before answering him, "They are called the exile, it all started when a group of serial killer burst out of prison during the apocalypse. They also created their zone, it's 20km north of here. These people are inhuman, cruel and murderer, word often get out that they kidnapped ladies and use them as playthings. Their leader Kan has always lusted after me since the first time he saw me, first he started threatening us but when he realizes that it's not working, that was when we started getting reports of missing women." Bella answered him, it was as if a weight has been lifted off her shoulders the moment she shared her troubles.

Minutes pass and she became worried as Williams wouldn't talk, he wasn't even blinking, "Are you okay Williams?"

"Sigh" Williams lifted his head towards the sky, he tried to ease his anger by submerging himself into the beauty of the sky, "Come here Bella" Williams dusted off the dust on the clothes for Bella to sit beside him.

She sat down beside him and rested her head on his legs, "What are you going to do Williams"

"Don't worry Bella, Kan signed his death contract the moment he hurt you" Williams declared with killing intent seeping out of his body.

"The resistance won't let you kill him Williams" tapping her fingers on his leg playfully Bella continued, "The resistance consist of the combination of all race. There is at least two people each from a race, they act as a balancer for the people."

She continued, "They won't let you kill the exile as they had made great contribution in the fight with the zombies"

"Hmmm" Williams wondered why he had never heard of them, "So this resistance help you guys out in fighting and why have I never heard of them?."

Bella chuckled before answering him, "Of course you can't know of them, they are only know to us leaders. The frustrating thing about them is that they don't help out during times of battle, they only watch and order us around like kids.... I know what you are thinking, we should rebel against the resistance right? They are too powerful, so much that they can wipe out an entire city of mages in an hour."

Williams eyes turned black for a second before returning back to normal, it always happens when he was extremely angry.

"The exile.. I will wipe them off the face of the earth from the inside and as for the resistance, I am going to make sure that their soul burns." He said through gritted teeth.

They both remained silent after their little chat, Williams was enjoying the caressing of the air on his face while Bella was busy sleeping calmly on his legs. Williams removed his jacket and covered her with it.

The night passed away peacefully with Williams fondling her hair.

He only stopped the next day when he felt movement on his legs.

Bella stood up and stretched her body before turning back to Williams.

"Good morning" She said with a bright smile on her beautiful face.

"Uhm, I think you might have make a little mistake there."

"Wait.. is it afternoon already."

"No, it's evening."

"Ah!"

Williams was attracted by her cry, "Do you have somewhere to go" he asked her curiously.

"Do you remember the resistance I told you about, today is the day they meet with all the leaders. It's gonna happen this night and we don't have much time, there's no way I'm gonna make it there in time." Bella panicked as she knew the consequences of failing to attend the meeting.

"There's no way I'm letting you go to that meeting" Williams stood up and folded his hands across his chest.

Bella walked around randomly with panic in her eyes, she turned to Williams and pleaded, "You have to understand what's at stake here Williams, they are going to relieve me of my position and share my people like possessions if I don't attend that meeting."

"You were poisoned right?"

"Yes"

"Then it shall remain that way, you were never cured, you are on the verge of death so it will be suspicious if you attend that meeting all of a sudden. As for the resistance, the more reason I got to kill them more"

Williams lifted Bella up and he ran back to the city at his top speed.

They got back to the city in thirty minutes, Williams dropped Bella off in her room and dropped a note in her hands.

"I will be back in three days... With kan's head in my hand."

Bella read it out and sat down helplessly, "Off he goes again"

Meanwhile Williams was already outside the city and he was running in the direction of the exile zone.

He sat down under a big tree replenishing his energy as he would need them for the journey ahead him. Suddenly he heard sounds of fighting coming from the forest behind him. After giving it a thought, he stood up and dashed towards the sound.

Far from him, a group of eight strong mages were busy fighting a gigantic large scorpion, the scorpion was as big as a story building.

The group consists of 7 man and a girl of about 18 supporting them at the back.

The seven mages were surrounding the scorpion not giving it a way to escape. Their formation seems perfect until a thick headed man broke it and rushed forward.

"Don't attack it yet Nicholas!" Another man shouted.

"No, it ate my little girl alive!! I will make sure I die along with it" Nicholas bellowed as he jumped up in the air and slashed the scorpion with a whip made out of fire.

The scorpion dodged the whip and struck Nicholas with his tail. Nicholas made a shield with fire but he had underestimated the scorpion.

The scorpion stinger tore through the fire shield as if it was paper and it punched a hole through Nicholas chest.

"Ahhhhhhh! I will help you to cut its tail of guys, AVENGE ME!!!"

Nicholas yelled, grabbing the scorpion's tail firmly with his last strength then he blew up the fire source in his body.

Boooom!!

He exploded to tiny bits and pieces with the scorpion's tail.
