ELSE WHERE : THE BLOOD RUNES.
DESCRIPTION OF CHAPTER: THE RISING
P.O.V : NARRATOR
A large gate dropped out of the blood symbols . It was a black with red markings in unknown languages allover the gate . Skulls with frozen creams of desperation could be seen on the sides of the gate .
Slowly the markings on the gate started to shine deep red untill the gate finally opened.
At first nothing could be seen but dark fog until a foot covered in red and purple armour came out of the gate. The full body came out of the gate but the appearance of the thing that came out was breath taking and not in a good way .It's face could only compete with that of Frankenstein and am sure it would win .
It had a face that could put fear in any body it had white skin with red cracks on the face rotten looking sideburns on the sides of the face , black pupiless eyes, horn looking eye brows that were raising up , a black tongue, sharp looking teeth that could easily bite through anything dripping with blood , ragged broken up armour with black accents on the side , razor sharp black nails twitching every second for blood .
After it got out , it let out a battle cry like it was putting the finishing touches on a ritual slowly large armies of different races of demons started to match out .
The coldness stopped increasing but it still stayed at that uncomfortable temperature not enough to kill mankind but enough to torture them slowly.
Every demon that came out didn't waste any time and they started running where it thought there would be civilization hoping to kill everything in it's path .
ELSEWHERE : MAIN CHARACTER'S POSITION (ORPHANAGE)
P.O.V:MAIN CHARACTER.
My ears were hurting and I couldn't hear anything properly but I had to get strength to show the young ones that every thing would be fine . My ears kept ringing in the most uncomfortable way possible maybe I should be grateful for it not the pain but the gift .
In the past few days I was able to adapt to my new sense even though I still wear the plugs everywhere I go but hey it takes a lot out of a man to get used to his own voice then actually learning how to understand English without lip reading . It was kinda embarrassing to learn how to hear actual words but hey trust the process .
The coldness suddenly stopped increasing which was a relief but it did not decrease leaving us in the same situation as before , i guess no improvement in that .
I felt my blood circulation slowing down due to the coldness .My every instinct was telling me to run but I never knew the reason. Slowly as I kept on trying to accumulate a little amount of warmth in my body.
Me , a few other elder orphans and two of the old matrons who had a total of four matrons in the whole orphanage namely Susan aka Susie the funny one , Anabella aka Bella everyones favourite, Jennifer aka Jenny the strict one and lastly Geneva the most caring a cautious .
We decided to go out to try find some resources. In this situation we went with matron jenny and Susie, we were led by Smith who was the guard at the orphanage and most experienced in such situations since he was once in the military training program but left due to a lack of funds .
So we started looking around the neighboring blocks to find what we were needing when we luckily found a few resources like bread , milk and a few water bottles at a few shops which were already shoplifter but what we saw shocked us even more . Sure we were getting the benefit of the doubt in the current situation but my instincts was telling me to run. I was a little shaken up by my body but I thought it was just my body overreacting because of the lack of warmth so I just advanced on our scavenging hunt .
We kept on trying to knock on some doors to look for a source of hope but weirdly no body was at any house we knocked at and the ones that were didn't give us a chance to communicate rather than a side glance through the door and slamming the door at our faces but I couldn't blame them they looked worse than me after getting my injuries which haven't completely healed considering how multiple they were.
As we were walking we saw a figure of what looked like a woman approaching us from a few metters ahead.
She had black curly hair and a tall yet fitting body structure considerably beautiful if it wasnt for the vertical slash on her stomach oozing out fresh blood all over her yellow sun dress .
She was staggering towards us and just as she was one metre in front of us she fell to the ground onto a pond of dirty water splashing allover her pretty face ,Rion ( one of the elder orphans ) ran and picked her up hissing due to how cold her shin felt through the uncovered parts of his fingerless gloves.
Rion: " She is so cold that if doesn't get any help she might die at any point and we need to stop this blood loss." He said while removing and covering her with his jacket ."
Rion : " Did any of you guys bring along a medkit ." He asked hurriedly . We all faced the matrons because we surely knew that if somebody had a meditation it would be them .
Matron Jenny hurriedly approached the woman in Rions arms and knelt down to give her a pain killer injection to reduce on her pain and bandage the huge wound on her stomach to make it a little bit more possible to take her back to the orphanage but just as the needle was about to enter the young lady's skin , she firmly held matron Jenny's hand and started applying alot of force on it.
Madam Jenny: " Darling , let go am trying to save you ." She said while Freddy one of the other orphans tried to remove her hand which was surprisingly infutile considering how muscular Freddy was since it was the main reason of bringing him along .
Unknown lady: "Run. ru.un.Do .do ..n't... go there... only death awaits , please run ." She said while tears fell from her blood shot eyes . The moment she finished her body started crumbling till she faded away like ash .
Slowly I saw the light of life leave her eyes before she crumbled away . Looking in the direction she came from we saw a large muscular man or something along those lines at least 190 cm in height in ragged purple and red armour and animalistic body features such as claws , fangs and black eyes looking at us . Or in my opinion at me .He was walking towards us super slowly while dragging a massive sword on the ground making a lot of noise indicating his presence and dominance as if he was on a hunt.
It did not take an immensely intelligent brain to figure that he was the cause of her death we immediately knew what to do.run. Rion held some of her ashes put them in one of his pockets and we sprinted with all our might towards the orphanage but we soon noticed that one of us was lacking behind, matron Jenny . I used all my strength and speed to pick up the matron who was lacking behind but in the corner of my eye I saw the man still walking behind us even after we made countless corners . He had a wide freaky smirk on his face like he was enjoying the chase or to him the hunt .
We immediately picked up our pace and in no time we arrived at the orphanage door and we knocked with all our might until James one of the elder orphans who stayed openedthe door .
James:" Allen ,Rion ,Freddy, Smith , Madam Jenny and Susie what happened ? Did you get the resources ?"
None of us answered him as we entered the elder orphans I went with and I closed and locked all the windows while the matrons locked the doors and added extra weight like beds, tables, refrigerators and many more to avoid them from opening , we warned all those who were old enough to help about what happened. At first they thought we were jocking but after the unexpected turn of events today and our worried faces they immediately sprang to action.
Matron Jenny : "I want everybody in the banker now." With no objection Freddy removed a few places revealing the hutch to the bunker .
We went and collected all the children and took them to an underground iron bunker built during the world war one periods .
We were forty six children. Those twelve and below were twenty two , those thirteen to eighteen were around sixteen to twenty and the rest were above eighteen and four matrons .We barely fit so our matrons went out to see if anything was they could find another place to hide but then a few more about four or so of the elder orphans followed to show that everything was fine to the young ones including Freddy , Adam, Rose and Gloria . I and Smith wanted to volunteer also but we were rejected and Rion was to traumatised to do anything.
They closed the bunker after giving us all the remaining food and resources . Since this bunker was kind of underground ten feet deep down to be specific it was kind of warm.
With beds and chairs some of us started to rest until we heard a scream of one of our matrons up.
Then I remembered the man who was chasing us at first I looked at Smith who didn't go up since he was the most capable to protect the children if anything happened but even he had a trace of fear in his eyes as everyone else but who could blame him it ain't everyday that a forty year old faces such monstrosities .
The scream woke every body up and removed any trace of sleep in our eyes.
