DEAD WALKING

Before i slept off in Caleb's house i saw him waving goodbye at me with a knîfe in his hand.

After few minutes of unexpected sleep in Caleb's house i opened my dying eyes, it was filled with sleep. I fought the fillings and opened them wide.

The first thing i set my eyes on was the room's white ceiling, i took a breath at least i was still alive, i felt some pain from different parts of my body. I hope nothing bad happened while i was sleeping.

I remember i saw Caleb with a knîfe before i slept off in his seating room and this particular room differ from the seating room that i slept off earlier.

I shivered as i recalled that Bella was in the same situation as me. I tried putting up my body, my hand were held in two different directions same with my legs.

My body was spread on a flat rock.

I studied the rock carefully, it has some tinny spaces running from the center and moved round. the were connected to different holes.

the holes appear to be a skéletal héad just waiting for permission to open its mouth.

I studied the environment again, it was not the same house i saw when i opened my eyes. Maybe I was still under the influence of drûgs. The environment looked like a cave but it wasn't. Dry bones were placed in different directions.

I struggled to break free from the lock but my hands and legs were properly locked.

"Bella!! Bella!! Bella." I hollered but my voice only echoed in the room.

"Caleb!! Caleb!! Caleb!!" I called out sadly.

"If you're there please I'm sorry just let me and my friend go, i will never set foot in your house again, ever." I broke down in téars as I called out for Caleb's attention.

There was no answer.

I regret ever falling for Caleb's trap so easily.

I closed my eyes for some seconds and opened them immediately i heard the humming sound echoes in the room.

I was unable to identify where the sound came from.

My nose perceived the odor of burning incense.

Within some seconds everywhere was smelling incense.

"Who's there?" I asked with a shivering tone.

I saw some men with black cloaks walked into the room from an unknown opening. Their faces covered with balaclavas.

Their hands were crossed beside them. Their movement were horrible to me but on a normal day, i will call it creativity.

They took their position around. My body was circled by them, there was a space left for the circle to complete.

"Please I'm sorry don't kîll me." I cry out sadly but no one gives me a listening ear.

Someone familiar walked into the room. It was Caleb, his mouth was dripping blóòd, he held a knife in his right hand while his left hand was covered with blóòd.

Caleb walked into the strange room with a blóòd dropping from his mouth and a sharp knîfe in his right hand.

I was scáred when i set my eyes on him, the blóòd on his mouth got me terrified. As he took his move elegantly with the black cloak that he wore made him more scary to me.

the blóòd in his hand dropped on the floor.

The knîfe glittered. I can't believe my eyes that I'm seeing Caleb who invited me to his house holding a knîfe with a blóòd in his mouth.

Why blóòd in his hand and mouth?

He positioned himself in the gap left to complete the circle.

"Caleb!! Caleb!! What're you doing?" I asked with a terrified tone. There was no answer, his silence was so powerful that my heart beat faster than ever.

His eyeballs were covered with pure darkness.

One of them dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a solid white substance and sprinkled it on me.

The second person did the same, that's how the process kept going around. They stopped and hummed some creépy sound.

The room shakes as they keep on humming

The crazy sound danced into my ear, this alone made me shiver.

Caleb brought out his tongue and licked the blóòd that escaped his mouth, he spared me a creepy smile that nearly pulled out my spirit.

"It's time Caleb." One of the men in a black cloak murmured with a heavy voice.

"It's time." The other members chorused

"Caleb please don't kîll me!! "

"Caleb please don't kill me!!" I begged for my life.

He pretended not to hear my outcry.

He used his left finger which was covered with blóòd to draw a symbol on my forehead.

Spoke some incantation.

The men in the circle held each other's hand and chorused to every word he said.

I was very scared of them. I can't fîght for myself. I don't even know if Bella is okay or not.

He stopped the incantation and bowed his head, repeating it three times.

He placed the knîfe on my forehead and moved it slowly down to my neck.

I gulped very hard as the knîfe touched my néck. He moves it to my chest and lifts it from my chést into the air.

"Caleb!!" I screamed as he lift the knîfe.

"Caleb don't do this to me," I begged

He lowered down the knîfe to my chést at a very high speed.

Caleb lowered down the knîfe in his hand at a very high speed to the direction of my chest.

Caleb ,No!!" I screamed.

He stábbed me in the chest blóòd pushout from my mouth and splashed on his face.

He applied some pressure to the knîfe, it break deeper into my chest.

Another set of blóòd pour out from my mouth.

The blóòd from my body was filled up the lines on the rock which my body was laid on.

it was not flowing fast or slow but just as the blóòd left my body.

I was unable to breathe freely due to the injury in my chest.

my eyes closed slowly as my breath was leaving my body. Caleb stared at me as my eyes were closing.

Finally, Caleb had successfully ended my life without giving me the 2 million he promised.

I was more than a fôôl to fall for his trap, i will never forget this particular day in a hurry. But now, i have to pay for my own mistake the hard way.

I grow weak as blóòd keeps on leaving my body through my înjured chest. After Some seconds of struggling to stay awake i was unable to control my eyes i gave up myself to eternal sleep.

I opened my eyes again after some minutes, i was shôck to see myself still alive, I remember i was stábbed to dead by Caleb.

How come I'm still alive? was i dreaming the entire time?

I satup from the floor, the environment was different from the real world, there was a welcoming signpost, that said 'Take Care Of Yourself'. I gulped and looked down on my chést, the wound was still there, I didn't understand what's going on with me but i still remember i was stábbed to deád by Caleb.

I stood up from the floor very scared and confused, the environment was very dim. It made it very difficult for one to see the environment clearly

I walked past the gate, cause that's the only where i could get all the answers i wanted.

It was very lonely inside the gate.

I took some steps forward if I could see anybody to ask for help.

I stopped when i felt my feet wet, i looked down I was inside something that looked like water but it wasn't.

"Master that's the lady we're looking for," a voice uttered.

I was scared cause i knew the statement were directly referred to me.

I looked hard and saw someone with a sword pointing his hand at me.

Walking Dead (5)

"Master, that's the lady we're looking for." I heard a voice uttered in the dark space of the new environment.

Without someone telling me i knew the statement was directly referred to me. I stared hard into the dark and saw someone with a sword, he had an elf ear and wore clothes that were different from normal clothes.

I was surprised that someone recognized me in this strange environment. I was scared about what to do next - whether to approach them or to run away from them.

I stood there silently and waited for them to get closer, I was shocked to see more behind him.

"Get her and don't let her escape or else we will be in trouble." A deep voice command.

I took some steps back. They looked unfriendly and scary to me. I ran out of the gate.

They approached me at high speed while running out of the gate, I met another person outside, the person wore some creépy garment.

"Don't be afraid," he said out immediately he noticed i was afraid of him.

I grew calm a bit but the strange guys were still after me.

"Can you help me, please?" I begged.

"Take left, hide yourself behind anything you see." He said and pointed his finger to the left which was very dark and terrible for one to hide.

I stared at him with surprise. Why should i trust him in the first place, he appears dangerous just like the people chasing me.

"I know you're afraid of me but just take the left direction or you're doomed for good." He persuaded me to accept his offer.

I gulped and took the left direction, it was very dark but i struggled by waving my hand in the dark to locate a way.

There was alot of things on the floor, bones, and skûlls, i squatted behind an unknown object.

I sighted him clearly, he was still there waiting for them.

They were out of the exit gate and rounded him up

I noticed their mouth moving but didn't catch their conversation. With the look of things i noticed they were interrogating him about my way about.

He did not say anything in return, he just pointed his hand in the right direction.

I breathed in when i saw him directing them to the right.

I thought they would leave immediately he gave them the directions, but they didn't, rather they divided themselves into two groups. One group searched the right area while the other group to search the left area.

The second group approached the direction i was hiding, i noticed their eyes were different from mine which indicated they could see clearly in the dark without stress.

One of them stopped and stared directly at the place i was hiding myself from them.

How he stared in my direction got me scared and hid myself properly

my body shivered,

My fear grew stronger than before, i never expected them to search out the area i was hiding because the man assured me it was safe.

"I can see you, young lady, no need to be scared, Bubble is here for you!!" He said sarcastically.

"Just come out from where you're hiding." He said and took some steps closer to the big object i hid myself.

I swallowed a large amount of saliva like never before.

My lips trembled when he said those words. I kept quiet and gulped down very hard. I breathed in and took some broken courage to surrender myself but something stopped me.

What's so important about me that's making them search for me this badly?

"Found something?"

"Yes." He said with a serious tone

When i heard him answer yes, I knew the hide-and-seek game was over for me, it was time i surrendered myself to them for good.

"Just kidding." He said and burst out spit

"just find one of your ex-girlfriends, skeleton, so beautiful, may the love you have for her rest in perfect peace." He laughed

I breathed in at least i was safe for now.

"Can you be serious for one, Bubble? Master H must be waiting for us to return with a good report and you're just here joking around." He sounded angry.

"Bundle of dry jokes." He shut him up immediately.

"Okay!! Okay!!, We found nothing let's just return and explain everything to Master H, he will understand us better." He said calmly and burst out another set of laugh

There was complete silence around me.

"Okay, she can run as fast as she can but she can't hide from Master H." They turned around and took their leave slowly.

I peeped, they were far from me.

The man was still there.

I was confused, why were they after me, and why I'm i here? The last thing i remember was when Caleb stáb me, if i was dead then how come I'm still alive?

I need to meet the man who just helped, he's the only one who can give me the answers i needed

I waited patiently for some second and i was sure they left, i peeped again and they were all gone, the man was no more there.

Maybe they took him.

I need to find out what's going on here.

I lifted my face freely in the dark environment and i was shocked to set my eyes on a creature with red eyes.

The creature with red eyes groaned at me.

i was very scared to face the unknown monster, i thought i escaped not knowing i placed myself in a bigger mess.

I took steps back from the monster. Maybe this creepy monster was the reason behind all these stacked bônes.

I turned around and took to my heels. I was expecting the monster to follow me but to my greatest surprise, it was just there staring at me. Maybe the brightness was the reason behind it.

After running for some distance. i stopped and looked back to be sure if the monster was still there but to surprise the monster was no more there.

"Where did it go? "

Why was it not chasing me as expected? Maybe i was just imagining, something that never existed in my head.

My ear captured the sound of an angry creature behind me. I turned around slowly with my hands up in the air, i was surprised to see the same creatures i ran away from.

Unexpectedly, i received a serious hit in the face that put me to serious sleep.

I woke, my face was covered up with an unknown material.

"Big guy, i know you're scary and powerful but i just wanna let you know I'm not good for fóod so if you want to eat me just know i will not tâste better."

There was no response.

I heard the sounds of moving steps.

"Don't take any steps closer or you will see the other side of me," I warned with a broken voice.

The feet stopped, i took in some breath.

The material used to cover my face was taken off,

i saw everything around me.

the place was well arranged. But it was different from a normal room.

Different objects brighten up the room.

"Why, were they after you, young lady?" A voice interrupted my concentration in the room.

I looked up, the man that helped me earlier was just waiting for my answers.

I looked at him with surprise. I thought he left with the guys that were after me.

"I don't know them, but why did you help me?" I asked.

"My name is Scot, just forget about that. So what's your name?" He asked.

"I don't understand what's going on here, i don't understand this environment and i don't understand people here, can you explain everything to me?"

"Are you ready for the answer or," he paused.

"I'm ready," i answered desperately.

"You're Dead."

Walking Dead (8)

You're Dead. Scot, the guy i met In this strange world dropped the words that nearly pulled out my heart.

Like I'm dead or what? I asked the question to be sure if he was just joking or not.

Yes, you're Dead, that's why you're here with us, but I don't understand why those army of dead were chasing you. It's been a long i saw them do that.

But how come I'm still alive with you here, i don't understand, i need to be dead like seriously deád. I said very scared and sad.

I touched my body to be sure i was very okay.

Tell me what happened to you earlier, that's the only way i can single out a solution to your problem. He asked staring at me.

I stared at him with surprise, i quickly recalled what happened to me the last time i was alive.

The question sounds helpful to me.

I was stábbed to death by a guy i met online, he drúgged my drink that was how i woke up and saw my body on an ancient rock.

Later a group of men show up and do the needful, Caleb drew a symbol on my forehead and stáb me to deád.

This the place he stábbed me on. I said and pointed to the injured area. That was the only thing that happened to me before I woke

He stared directly at the injured part and beckoned without saying anything.

Can you tell me something, like anything i need to know, i asked desperately to understand what was going on with me.

Caleb, that name sounds familiar to me, yes i can remember him very well.

Sorry, Caleb used you and i can now understand why those armies of deád. He said and patted me on the shoulder.

Why were they after me? I asked sadly.

Your body is undergoing some process that's why Master H needed you as fast as possible.

What type of process, scot? I stared directly into his eyes he felt pity for me.

You're half dead and half alive. So you need to keep away from them as fast as you can.

"You're half dead and half alive, so you need to keep away from Master H and all the members of ármy of dead."

Scot said and looked away from me.

"Half dead and half alive how? i don't understand please explain everything to me in detail." I pleaded getting closer to him.

"The ancient rock your body was led on is what I'm talking about, the rock is not an ordinary one, unlucky for you, if your blood fills in all the gaps on the rock and finally gets to the mouth of the skeléton, then you will be gone forever." His voice filled with pain.

"Is there any hope for me to survive again?" I asked impatiently since he said i was half dead and half alive.

"Nobody ever returns to the surface, I'm just telling you this to understand what's going on with you. Not for the sake of you to return to the surface"

"So how did you get here?" I asked

Yes, i need to know why he's so familiar with both worlds. How does he get to know about Caleb and the rock so well?

There was strong silence in the room, he didn't said anything to me, he turned around and faced me, his face was filled with téars.

I know something might have hurt him badly.

"If the question i ask hurt you, then I'm very sorry Scot." I apologize.

"No need for that Favor," he beckoned.

"This is how everything started, me and my wife were struggling to survive on the surface for some years, not that we didn't have money and everything to survive but everything fell apart and left us to pass through life the hard way."

"Some months later, she dropped the greatest news to me that i will soon become a father, it was the Best news to me but it was the worst news because of my condition."

"Months and months passed and nothing changed rather it was getting worse everyday."

"My wife informed me about her condition, i took her to the hospital and dropped the pinot I had to come back and settle the rest. The hospital was different they accepted my Pinot and asked me to come back and settle everything for the benefit of my wife."

"I left, and later that day i saw one of my media users drop a message, i checked it was my media friend."

"He asked if i needed anything, i wanted to text back no but i texted him back with yes, that i needed money. He said no problem that i should just visit him and get the money. I never expected any bad thing to happen."

"On my where to his house, i received a call from my wife that I'm a father, i was very happy, i wanted to surprise her after getting the money."

"When i visited my media friend's house, he gave me a drink and asked me to feel at home. That was how he used me and i was unable to return to my wife again."

"I know she might thought i ran away from her to take care of the child alone."

"Such a sad one, hope she gets to know this story."

Hide The armies of dead are back again for you? He said and hurry up to the door.
