The Mute of The Demon Cave

👽The land of the dead👹

☠️1️⃣☠️

Her eyes snap open all of a sudden. She's breathing heavily and already covered in perspiration.

'Are you alright? 'some men move closer to her

She look at them much longer, they don't look familiar. Infact none of her surrounding does.

How did she get there? She search her brain but realize bitterly that it's all blank.

What had happened to her

'Who are you? 'she asked

'Sssh.... 'someone behind her sush her up. She look behind her at the strange faces there. Counting by her eyes, they were ten.

What the...

'What am I doing here? 'she intended to raise her voice but it came out so low and painful. What had actually happened to her.

'You don't remember anything?'a guy at the window side says but didn't turn to look at her, 'You knocked on our door for help'

Then it came at her suddenly, swifly. She found herself in the bush, running but something was chasing her. No, they were human being except the fact that they were so fast and so violent.

She tried to outrun them but unfortunately she fell and they all came rushing down on her. The pains she had when their mouths collided with her body was unbearable.

She eventually ripped herself away and ran toward the first building she saw on sight. Thank goodness, there was someone in. She fainted immediately she entered.

'who are those people?? '

The guy whirl around to look at her, 'Not people but demons eating human'

What the.....

'We need to leave this building, 'one choruse from behind her

'And go where? 'another raise up

'I heard SHALERA is safe and protected. We would be safe when we get there, 'the guy by the window side says.

The lady stand and walk to the window side . Outside are lots of strange looking people walking to and fro. There were blood everywhere.

'For how long have I been out? '

'30 minutes, 'another guy answered.

The guy by the window side stole a glance at her, 'Mane company announced the outbreak of a virus this morning but I didn't know it was this huge. We will leave but I want us all to beware. This virus can only be spread by contact with the blood. So, be careful so they don't bite you'

The lady heart hammer wildly in her chest as she listen

'When you get biten, you have only an hour to be human. After an hour, you become one of them. '

What the fuck!!!

She has been bitten. She was bitten in the forest.

Does that mean she have less than thirty minutes to live as human?

Jessica turn to look at Max, 'How sure are you about this information? '

Max gave her a Stern look, '100% sure miss, 'he then look away, 'there are guns in the store. We need to arm ourselves to protect ourselves. And we need to stick together if we wish to survive',he finish and the guys stood up and went to the store for the guns.

Everyone got busy.

Jessica stood still dumbfounded at the spot. She still couldn't believe she would be one of those bloodsucking animals.

'I know you have been bitten, 'Max words startled her and she found herself looking up at him and unable to even say another word

When she eventually forced out a word, it felt unlike hers, 'How... '

'The marks, I've seen them severally so I know it when I see one. Infact you were bitten by five of them, 'Jessica heart skip a beat and started beating harder as if it would burst out. She watch him look at his wristwatch, 'Let say, you have less than 30minutes to live as human.'

Jessica nod once as if it was no big deal. In all her life, she has been battling with death anyways. It was no big deal if she dies now. She has no family, no one to cry for her when she's gone.

Max walk more closer and look down at her, 'But I promise to shoot the gun through your head immediately you try to harm others, 'then he walk away.

Jessica collapse on the hard floor. She felt numb and tired. Maybe it was the effect of the virus, who knows?

She just found it strange and unbelievable she would be dying this way despite the troubles her father went through when she fell so sick to the point of death.

Should she just continue the journey with them or not?

It won't do a thing since she would be them soon

Maybe she should kill herself

Wouldn't that be better??
