Chapter Eleven Krypts Kreepers
Back in the Village Mike believed that he fixed the bomb the one that he's been working on all night. He devised a plan since sometime yesterday. He wanted to send soldiers still alive up the mountain so someone can tell them what happened here. He realizes one of them will have to remain behind. He has to make sure that he killed that winged creature. Or this thing will fly back up that mountain like the peasant explained and kill a nyone that is still alive! He realizes that it's his job. He cannot ask his men or soldiers to do it for him. He decided that it is okay. He made Peace with God. Heaven Waited! He zipped up both backpacks and revealed the face of that digital bomb. All it needed now is someone to place a Timer. The time that death would surely knock at the door that most deserved it?
He stared out through an open window. He had this funny feeling tonight would be that night. He rises to his feet and stared into the village. He knew there had to be a way to kill that beast without dying! He noticed one soldier walked back toward the house but not alone? He has guests probably from the village. They were probably hideaways that the Soldier Jerome met with earlier. The soldier named Jack accidentally crossed paths with them. He realized it's only 7, 00 AM if he starts now. He might have just enough time to find and destroy that beast. The front door opened. Jack walked inside. Look what I found Captain. A family of stowaway's hiding right here in the Village. The male spoke broken English. I can still understand him if you can't. Tell his wife to cook us something to eat. Unless they had something better than rat meat. She got right to work after she grabbed her son by the hand. They both walk toward a row of cactus plants not far away. She lifted a knife from her husband sheath and disappeared. He sat himself down underneath the hot burning sun. Seconds later, he found a seat away from the sun. He started to talk to them. He told them a story about the sky that turned red with fire. An army of Diablo's Men shot down into the village afterward. It happened on November 5th day of the dead. People that live here started to run up the mountain after the sky started to burn. They believe the dead were angry because not everyone believes in ghosts or the dead that walk the earth. That thing began killing them one by one. People tried to escape up the mountain. They were either killed and eaten or brought back down to be eaten by zombies that it created after it bites them. This is an interesting story “ Mike said. He sat along a wall in the house outside with his back up against it. We better get that piece of plywood up or that beast with a massive head, thick 2 inch nails that look like they're made of plastic appears. Shoot a bunch of nails into the roof just in case. They start to climb again so we can hear them. I notice they were bending them Captain. I also realized there not as stupid as they look. He decided to move away. He told the Captain that he would return in a minute or so. You better hurry Jack breakfast is almost ready. He ran off with his automatic weapon in his right hand. He walked back into the Village to look for paneled wood. He walked into Guillermo until he d isappeared behind one of the homes. Come on Miguel you come with me. You can start to shoot nails into the wood on the roof's edge. He liked the idea he nodded his head several times before the Captain finally rises. Let's go Miguel we have work to do besides that, breakfast is waiting. He followed the Captain into the home where a gun filled with nails, waited. They entered the home. He explained to Miguel to shoot them into the roof so we can hear their screams when they climb. He laughed out loud he knew this is a deviate plan. Take the gun he vanished with an entire ribbon of nails. His wife returned with a bag of dead rats. Most of them were dead from a blood soaked bag that they dripped. She stabbed them to death. She beat them against a large rock. Then, she used a long knife that her husband gave her to stab them some more with. He began to cook right outside on top of a grill that soldiers use to cook their food on. The grill is almost eaten away at. It is used until it is thrown away.
They disappear into the Village and take whatever they need to finish their work. One by one they disappear to do what it is that they we're ordered too. The Captain walked back into the home. He searched for anything out of the ordinary around a homemade bomb t hat he constructed. He realized that there is nothing there. Nothing bothering his bomb or the home itself not yet anyway. He could hear the peasant up on the roof. He shot nails into wood panels so nothing else could climb up without being heard. He double checked his work one more time before walking back and forth through the living-room into the kitchen. He noticed that its 8;00 one hour exactly from the last time that he checked. He could hear the young woman. She remained in the front to cook on that homemade grill that someone left behind. He smiled afterward and walked outside through the house around to the front. He sees a little boy who played in the dirt. He kicked an old soccer ball around that looked beat up. Smoke rises from the front of the house. Pedro's Wife must have them gutted, skinned, and cleaned the meat for brunch. Several rat kabobs were ready to eat and lined up on top of a barbecue pit. They were opened up stretched out like they sun tanned. He liked the way they look. He also liked the way that his Wife cleaned the meat. He decided to take a seat underneath a roof that hung over 2 feet to shade the home.
He sat down he waited for breakfast. He wondered if that woman had some left over tortillas. That she made in her own home o r where she lived. He could not wait any longer now. He wanted a taco with green peppers. He remembered a woman that carried a shawl. It had to be filled with different kinds of things to eat. One soldier screamed, he sent Pedro to help him carry some wood. He must have 3 maybe 4 panels by the way he dragged them around. He also decided to help. He stepped into the village where his soldier stopped to catch his breath. He grabbed one wood panel. The peasant Miguel grabbed another. He carried the one to the left toward the house. So they could prepare themselves for their last stand. He stared up at the mountaintop all the while. He remembered it had rough terrain to hard to climb so he had turned away.
This creature would easily find them especially if it knew that they weren't in the home. They were too busy climbing the mountain. It's a couple of days to the top. He knew it would take them slightly longer because of rainy conditions. The mountain is muddy therefore it would be too slippery to climb, quickly. Look Captain, I think we got another surprise coming. He sees several rainclouds gathering overhead the second that he raised his head. The entire sky looked like it changing color. It had a slight gray shadow covering most of it while it moved toward them from the direction of the mountain. We better hurry he started to drag a piece of wood with him. They hurry back toward the home to wonder where did they come from. All of a sudden Jack continued to drag 2 pieces of wood with both hands, bleeding. The peasant passed both soldiers up. He ran forward with a panel of 4x8 wood. Rainclouds started to change color. One by one they went from snow white to gray. He hurried forward he carried a 4x8 piece of wood back to the home. He dropped it on the ground o utside a broken window. Okay, Miguel you help Jack tighten up this 4x8 panel of wood. I'll eat first! He noticed his woman named Maria. She cooked white tortillas over a hot grill. Her son ate next because age before beauty. He noticed rat-ka-bob down on the wood. She lifted a rat-kabob and slid it into a tortilla. I would like one of those he said. I will have a taco myself. Several steps forward he sees that Mexican woman made him a taco too. She poured plenty of diced chilies into the taco and passed it to him to eat. He ate like he starved. He could hear both men hammering nails into a panel of wood on a wall. He decided to see what they we're doing so he started to search for men that worked on windows with 2 tacos 1 for each of them. Before he reached them he could hear them talking first about God then Diablo.
When he arrived he passed them each 1 taco and stepped away from the window where they worked. He found a gallon bottle, which is filled with cool water about halfway up. One quick swallow another followed then still one more after that. After he lowered the bottle of water to the ground he slipped the last bite full into his mouth. He wanted another taco so he walked back to the front of the house for food. He noticed several rainclouds that were beginning to darken by the second. What will really happen “ he thought. Will there be another red sky or is it just rain. He rushed back toward Maria. He ran just a few feet until he
