Chapter Eight Perimeter
Suddenly, it started to rain like Angels in Heaven dropped 5 gallon buckets of water down from the skies on top of them. I'm going inside gentlemen figure it out for you. He raised his wrist he realizes it's 6, 30 in the evening. He told them it's getting late. He stepped back into the house and disappeared into the living room. He stepped toward the front door. He tossed the rest of his dinner into a tin can that he finds nearby. If l find you first Chihua hua your but is mine '' he yelled.
One by one a soldier entered the home. They leave the front door wide open. He remembered William remained behind. He remained near an entrance to keep guard. I'm taking a nap gentleman. Early Tomorrow Morning were go ing to start our search for Jake's Killer. We will tear this village apart starting tomorrow morning. Right after William decides to make something to eat with rats into something that will resemble scrambled eggs. There is a chuckle afterward then the room remained awfully quiet because he just smirks, sure! He stepped into the kitchen. He remembered Jake's Head. It's still sitting in the sink. Someone take Jake's Head as soon as it stops raining and bury it with his body tomorrow.
Mike took a drink of water from a gallon that sat in the kitchen on a table. He decides to nap after he felt this case of tiredness quickly come over him like a rain pour. He noticed someone chase most of the flies away from the kitchen. He took another swallow of water still one more, afterward. He looked out through the kitchen window. He stared into the darkness at the falling rain. All of a sudden a bolt of lightning struck right outside their kitchen window. He found himself staring at what he believed to be an army of ro gue soldiers. He continued to stare at several Men that stood outside in the pouring rain. They look like they were fully armed with weapons. They wore costumes of some kind. They look like zombies or dead people. Maybe they we're representing dia de los muertos! But there is one thing that puzzled him. They we're standing there with gardening tools like spears, weed whackers, scythes, machetes, and sticks. The area right outside darkened. He couldn't see anyone anymore so he yells grab your weapons l think they're, here! Several soldiers rush into the kitchen to look for enemies from the sound of it, yelling. Where were they Captain '' James shouted! Another bolt of lightning struck the area right outside the kitchen, window. They were there a minute ago '' he mumbled '' with his finger on the trigger and his eyes on the rain falling outside. I'm telling you l saw something '' he shouted '' and stepped away slow like. We saw it to Captain '' James replied. We go get these things that kill and eat the living, alive. Another bolt of lightning struck this time. It became evident that there not wearing costumes. They look like revolutionaries with automatic weapons that waited for the right moment to attack. They were wearing masks over their faces like terrorists and carried weapons like they were waiting for orders or someone to throw the first punch.
The lightning from overhead exposed them. If only for one split second! That's when he ordered his Men at the count of three to meet them at the gates. The gates that will take us both deep into HELL! Krypts Kreepers '' he yelled. They prepare to attack 20 if not more males right outside the front door that they believe we're waiting to attack them. They rush into the open through the front door into the cold pouring rain through the complete dark. Shoot directly in that area where you think they're still standing. One clip after another Krypts Kreepers filled the area with lightning from their weapons! They shoot until another bolt of lightning struck. This time they realized they we're shooting at nothing but the pouring rain, outside. Captain, where did they go '' Jack shouted. He turned on a light on top of his weapon. Noone uttered a word anymore. One by one they began to realize that they were seeing things. What was this mass hysteria, everybody seeing things Captain. I guess we're seeing the same things Jack yelled. I'm going in Captain! If these things come back don't forget to radio me. He took one step back, another followed then still one more until his back is flush against the home exterior wall. Now what Captain what are we going to do Jack asked. Radio the General for more help! More support we're supposed to be Krypts Kreepers Sir. Captain, are the one stuck in a nightmare'' James replied, He walked into the home through the back door. I'm not radioing anybody until every man is dead or unable to stand on his own 2 feet. Jack disappeared inside after he gave him a smile like what a hell of a decision. Before he entered the home and left the Captain all alone by himself!
Captain Longfellow stared outside through a kitchen window at the pouring rain but he sees nothing. He watched lightning strike down at the Village from overhead. It filled the entire area with a bright white light. But after it s truck the center of the village he finds no one. There is not a thing, nothing standing there no armies of darkness, weapons of mass destruction that were pointed at them. He decided to finish that sleep that he's been longing for, for some time! He turned to face the kitchen, another bolt of lightning strikes. A man in long black hair appeared. He's holding a machete in his right hand his eyes were dim but shiny black. He had long dark hair. He held a machete that hung down from his right hand. He wore black clothes besides combat boots but no shirt. Another bolt of lightning struck the Village again this time that tall long haired man disappeared in it.
A serenade of whispers entered in through the kitchen from an unknown place. Maybe Heaven! Maybe even Hell! Maybe it's just Guillermo! You will die here Krypts Kreepers! This Village belongs to us! The Captain raised his head. He stared into the darkness that hovered over Guillermo. He Made the Sign of the Cross and asks Angels in Heaven for Guidance and Mercy into the unknown!
Captain Longfellow walked away after taking a few steps into the living room and bypassed both dead people that sat at a wood table covered in horseflies. He walked pass the kitchen into the bedroom to his right. He pushed a door open so he could walk inside to rest a little through the night. This will do '' he said '' he threw himself down on the bed and closes his eyes. He placed his weapon down next to him. This way he could make himself as comfortable as possible. He tries desperately to fall asleep until the rain that poured down on top of them sounded like music to his ears. Within seconds he was snoring. It must have helped him sleep with everything that is on his mind.
He lied down for several minutes. He started to drift off to a distant place in between the Village and sleep. All of a sudden Michael Longfellow rises from his bed but he doesn't feel like himself. He decides to take a look outside because he thinks he heard something. A shadow of a man standing in the distant in the drizzling rain looked straight at him. He looked more like he staring. He hasn't moved a muscle much less lowered his stare.
Mike started to walk toward him. He started to yell at the top of his lungs. Chris is that you this man that resembled a Krypts Kreepers vanished into a ball of darkness right after lightning struck the ground. Once the lightning disappeared. He vanished behind that stream of white light that hit the Village. Mike decided to follow him this time into the dark. He sees him, he's too far to grab. But he tries running after him, nonetheless. He sees him running away like he's headed for a Town over. And decided to stop running after he realizes this soldier led him deep into the Village.
He continued to follow him through the pouring rain deep into the Village. Before another bolt of lightning struck this time he sees him much clearer. This time he's just 20 feet away or so if that and continues to walk straight into the middle of the Village. The only thing that is left to do is to follow him and continue to trail the soldier in hope for a way out of this God Forsaken Village. Since, several radios lost contact with the real world. They we're only good here. He sees him again, he realizes he's 100 % sure it's Christopher.
He followed him, he remained behind without trying to catch or touch
