Chereads / Ferryman of the lost / Chapter 9 - Problems after problems

Chapter 9 - Problems after problems

When I caught up, Theia was sitting in front of the cell, trying to open it. In the cell, there was some peoples. But most important, Theia's mom holding her dad , who looks hurt, and others, who is probably their supporters. Ilene tried to tell us something, when she noticed us, but screams and cry of others prevented us from hearing anything. And then, like a earthquake footsteps were heard down the corridor.

"Dong-Dong-Dong."

Theia managed to open cell, but peoples inside of it, pulled her in. I looked in direction of steps. Oh no, another mutant. It's was giant soul monster and his heart was not glowing, I pulled my gun out and started to shoot in his heart. But there was no effect, he started scream and when he was fully out of the shadows, I saw that he had bulletproof vest attached to his body and mutated. Ilene and Theia managed to shup up all other peoples, so I shoot him in the face, what just make him angry and he was taunted to me. I started to run from him. And his heavy steps followed me, where ever I go. I saw an automatic gate , run through it and tried to lower them on him, but monster easily catch them with his body and broke.

I hate freaking mutants. I made a loop and get to a second floor, rushed toward the window, and of course he rushed after me, I dodged at the closest corridor and he fell out. I looked outside of the hole, made by this monster, but he was already on his legs and started to climb back. I throw a knife at him, but of course it was easily deflected by his mutated skin. I moved away, creating a distance. SO what can I do to him, his only weak point is covered. But there was no time to think, because he already continue his chaise. Corridor after corridor, a huge number of cells. And nothing has stopped him, he screamed in rage and was getting faster and faster. It's getting annoying.

He chased me around twenty minutes already and I would get tired, in difference with him. Giant tireless monster without weaknesses, who either gonna kill me or turn in his kind. How sad, that i have nothing, that could blow him up from inside. And when I once again ran through the first floor. He managed to catch up, screamed in rage and hit me with his fist, I managed to reduce damage from impact and fall. But had no where to run. He looked with his inhuman empty eyes and smiled, creepy. His hand started to reach me. But moment later, Theia jumped from second floor and pierced his heart with sword, at the angle at which it was not protected. He fell like a big cobblestone, a thunderstorm resounded throughout the whole building, knocking down from feet. Ilene and others come out, smiling. They looked bad, tired and hungry. And of course, everything couldn't end that good, we heard sound of scattered tables and chairs, which was followed by two distasteful sounds, steps of monsters and screams of monster. Ilene asked me:

"There is no other entrance, what should we do?"

"Go to the second floor, there is hole in the wall. She instructed others to follow her. I looked at Theia:

"You go to, cover them, there might be more monster."

"But what about you?"

"I'll keep them from you and when all gonna be safe, I will flee. Meet position is bar."- She hesitated, but then nodded and catch up to her mother and others. The sounds were coming towards me. Corridor was fully in shadows. And red glowing hearts started appearing as a dots, from every direction. I started to shoot them, one by one.

One down... Two down...Three... Four... Five... Six... Seven... Eight...

Change of patronage...

Nine... Ten... Eleven... Twelve...

So on and on. But amount of red hearts continue to appear. They started to push me on second floor.

Ammo was empty. I pulled out knife. And met with the monsters in the close combat. They throw oneself in me , attacking with hands and mouths, trying to cut me, to catch me and to pierce. I managed to keep up, because they could attack all in the same moment, I used that we were in corridor in my advantage. Hitting them with metal doors of cells and blocking ways. I slowly Retreated. Got to the hole in wall, and jumped out. monsters followed me, running with same speed. But I managed to close gates right in front of them. And it give me time to disappear from their sight. I wandered around the city towards the bar. But it was almost unreal, because monsters were everywhere. I slowly opened living building and silently cleared it. Getting on top to the roof. And my travel now was on top of buildings. It was way safer here. And almost none of the monsters. Soon enough. I was on the bar rooftop, I opened door and enter bar from another hidden entry. I heard unpleasant familiar voice down there:

"he-he-he birdies come home by themselves. Without this monster. I knew that you would come here, thank you, mister Roger, for information about this so called ferryman."

"My pleasure to work with you sir."

"Why are you doing this, Am."-it was Ilene, I looked there and saw, That Theia, her parents, and people who was saved by us was tied. Am approached her:

"I always was so kind to you, but you never appreciated it, and even chose my best friend to marry, over me, didn't you know it?"

"But you never told anything about feelings! And that is your reason? You are crazy!!!"- Ilene screamed with rage. Even Robert looked at him with doubt. The bar was full of mercenaries and big problem was Robert. One of the strongest mercenaries, having team of fighters.

"Bring him in!"- With crazy laugh, commanded AM. And Robert's peoples bring...
