Semua Bab Nightmare: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Adrenaline courses through me as I take down monster after monster. The numbers seem never ending, but we keep fighting, blood that is mostly not mine stains my clothes and my skin. Sweat pours down my skin blending with the sticky blood and dirt that covers me. Ash seems to be in the same predicament, though he seems to have a lot more sweat covering him. His white shirt is practically see through except for the blood that stains large areas of it. We must fight for hours but the sun seems not to move from its position in the sky. Ash and I beginning to tier when there is a loud battle cry from down the end of the street. Glancing up I notice that Alex is at the front of the group of people. Her tear stained cheeks and puff swollen eyes are the only reminder of what she just faced moments ago. She holds a sword in her right hand and a shield is on the other. Lyrica and Cooper stand on either side of her, and the rest of the group are spread behind. Rage seems to pour of Alex as she

I jerk awake suddenly as the chill in the breeze wakes me causing shivers to run through me. I lift my head slowly and realise that it is eerily silent. No insect voices carry on the air, and there isn’t a single sound of battle in the distance. Sadness fills me as I wonder if now all my friends are gone, because again I have abandoned them. I’d been able to see the light through the darkness but it hadn’t been able to stop me from plunging straight into the unknown. Suddenly I hear footsteps racing along the bitumen, then as it gets closer I can hear there heavy breathing. I lay there paralysed waiting for the master to round the corner and slaughter me just like the rest of my friends. But instead I see the dark black hair of someone familiar. The deep brown eyes that stare at me with sorrow and concern confuse me. “Cooper?” His voice comes out as a croak “Cooper are you okay?” “Why would you care?” Disgust in myself makes the words come out quite harsh, but Ash doesn’t even f

Images continue to haunt me as I think about Lyrica and about Harvey and Andrew. They are dying for my cause and they don’t deserve that. Searching through the streets, I continue to come up empty handed, Cooper seems to be nowhere so I decide to walk home. I can hardly walk with the lack of energy that is flowing through my body, theres been to much anguish and heartbreak to push me through to the end of this war. I’ve been fighting for too long, this battle is taking too long and everyone I love is slowly dying. I walk passed my old house, well whats left of it, most of the ruins are ash and there are a couple of small fires that still lay around the area. The other houses that use to stand here too are now piles of rubble that the monsters have created. As I struggle to keep walking towards Ash’s house my body aches. It’s like every pain you could ever imagine happening all at the same time, well except when you go into labour. I don’t think I quite feel that much pain. Image

Slowly reaching out a hand a tap softly on the door and wait for a response. “Ash, please go away. I know that you are only checking on me because Natalie would want you to, but I don’t want to talk to anyone at the moment. So just go away.” “If thats really what you want.” I say softly, I begin turning away listening to see if Cooper makes a move towards the door. I smile softly to myself when I hear the soft rustling of his footsteps on the carpet as he walks towards the door. He rips the door open and stops dead, his breathing comes out in short sharp breaths as if he doesn't know how to react to my unexpected visit. Slowly I take a step towards him. “Hey Coop...” I wait hesitantly before taking another small step towards him. “Can I come in and talk to you?” He looks around and down the hallway probably checking to make sure that Ash hadn’t been waiting to pounce and try and come into the room with me. “Yeah, I guess.” Slowly he takes a step back into the room and opens t

Holding Ash’s hand as we walk back I don’t think the full outcome has hit us yet. We both seem to be more shocked then anything. The rest of the group follows behind us, minimum chatter echoes around us. Most of us just ready to have a sleep and wake up to realise that the battle is finally over and that we had won. Walking around the corner to Ash’s house I realise that we are going to have to try and find enough space for everyone to sleep cause his house isn’t as big as my old one, which had at least four bedrooms. Walking to the door I say, “Guys the plan is to get everyone through the shower, so that we can wash the remnants of the battle of us.While that is happening Ash and I will cook dinner as a way to thank you for everything that you have given up and lost throughout this last month.” Everyone voices there agreement. The Josh asks, “Where is everyone going to sleep?” “Ash, Alex, Cooper and I are going to discuss that as you guys all have showers and relax. All the clo
