The guard began to sweat profusely.
After that, he immediately handed the bow and arrows to me as his arms shook in fear.
I placed 3 arrows in my bow and said: "open the gate now!"
On hearing me, they both hesitated.
"But the commander sa.....", the other said as he placed his hand on the key hanged on his belt.
On seeing this, I shot his arm.
"That's one arm as promised, open the gate before I make it two!", I said p_ssed.
The guard cried in pain as he used his other arm to take the key out, still shaking.
On seeing this, the other guard held the hand of the guard holding the key and said: "Don't do it! The commander, remember.."
As soon as his voice fell, I sent the last two arrows in my bow to both his arms.
"Are you blind or dumb?! Where is your big headed commander?!!", I said more p_ssed.
He yelled unable to move either one of his arm. Unlike the last guard who had one of his arms shot, and could still use the other to touch the area of pain; he had no arm to support the other. So all he did was cry helplessly in pain.
The messenger and his girlfriend stood aside in fear as they watched the whole thing.
"Please spare us Sub Commander", he pleaded while the guard opened the gate.
"Davis!", I called as soon as the gate was opened.
Medusa hurriedly spat him out.
As soon as he came out, he threw up.
All who saw him was stunned.
"What's he...", The Messenger said as he and his girlfriend took some steps back.
"That was really gross! I am never doing that again!", Davis said as he wagged his body like a dog.
"Let's go!", I said and stepped out of the cell.
"Please sub commander, spare us! Don't harm or send us outside", The messenger went on his knees begging.
"You haven't done any wrong, and besides, I didn't promise you any shot, did I?", I said looking at the coward and his girlfriend.
"N...No sub commander!", He replied still on his knees.
"But I need a favour from you", I said.
"What's that ma?", He asked.
Before I could reply, I heard growls at the door, several zombies had gotten to the door of the prison.
"Zombies!", the guard with only one functional arm yelled.
On hearing this the messenger pulled his girlfriend behind himself as they both walked behind me.
This coward truly loves this girl. As powerless as he is, he is willing to lay down his life for her.
How powerful is love really?
Something so strong, one goes length to satisfy.
I couldn't help but relate the situation to my feelings for Derick, and how much I could do for him.
"Sub commander please save us." The messager begged.
"Save you guys, what are you? Where have you been, under a rock or something!", Davis said as he picked up a bar of steel from the ground and charged toward the incoming zombies.
"Davis don't kill them!", I yelled. But before my sentence was completed, Davis's steel bar had already plunged into one of the head of the zombies.
"Why?!", He asked as he jumped back in an attempt to dodge a zombies attack.
"I need them!", I replied.
"You need them? For what?!", He asked looking at me in confusion.
"Just leave them to me and stop asking questions!", I said as I place 4 arrows into my bow.
I sent 2 arrow out immediately, aiming at the knee caps of the one in front.
As soon as the arrows came in contact with his knee caps, he fell down immediately.
"One!", I said aloud as I fired the last 2 arrows at the next.
"Two!", I added.
And place 4 more in the bow.
"Four!"
"You never seize to surprise me sub commander", Davis said smiling as he walked closer to the zombies growling helplessly on the floor.
"8 shots, 4 handicapped zombies, no misses or a clue why", he added.
"What's your name?", I asked the messenger.
"Paul!", He said at once after a short pause.
"Paul, I want you in charge of this zombies as well as Medusa.", I said.
"Si...I mean ma, please.. they'll kill me!", He replied.
"Choose wisely, go out and fight with real zombies, or stay here and watch over handicaps in a cage?", I asked pointing at the door.
"Stay here, stay here!", He said shaking.
"Good! Davis, pull this handicaps in!", I commanded.
"What?!", Davis asked shocked.
"What's what? I said, pull the handicapped zombies in!", I repeated louder.
"I just saved your life and you are still bossing me around!", He added.
On hearing this, a bomb of irritation exploded in me. I was so p_ssed, I was speechlessly looking for a reply for him.
"You saved my life? From what? From whom?! Correction, you attempted to! And even if you did, does that drop my rank to you from your sub commander?", I said angered.
On hearing this, his expression changed like one who was just received a cold shower.
"Hurry!", I added.
With that said, he grumble and pulled the zombies by their leg into the cell we were in.
"Medusa dear, please come out", I said as I hand ushered her out while Davis pulled the first one in.
"Even it gets more respect than me!", He said in a whiny way.
"Unlike you, it saved my life!", I said giving him a somewhat harsh look as Medusa came out.
Paul by the side shook uncontrollably as they saw the huge snake coming out of the cell.
"Medusa, please stay here, please don't come out", I said to it in a calm and polite manner.
"Please tell it not to eat us!", Paul begged now crying.
"Pussy!", Davis cursed as he pulled the second one into the cell.
"And please don't eat them!", I added.
"One.... More...!", Davis said as he tiredly pulled the third one in.
"Pull the last for Medusa", I said staring at the tired looking snake.
"It eats that?!", Davis asked shocked.
"Honestly, I don't know, But there's no harm in trying, is there?", I said in a tentative manner.
"If you say so Miss Sub commander.", He replied.
The last one was pulled in front of Medusa, and everyone naturally took several steps backwards, except for Paul and his girlfriend, who stood almost and the entrance and shut the door.
Medusa looked at the zombie struggling to move with it's arms.
Unlike a gun, whose power sometimes pulls out the legs of the zombies, leaving them to walk with their hands, the arrows don't do that. It goes in deep enough to destroy the leg, but also, when these zombies fall down, they find it much more difficult to move, because the arrows protrudes from their legs to the ground causing friction between the edge and the ground, thereby hindering or slowing down their movement.
Medusa crawled closer to it slowly, swallowed and stretched weakly.
"Wow!", Davis exclaimed.
The two guards were still by the side, the pain they felt had subsided, but they were still unable to use the shot arm or arms. They naturally could leave, so I decided to go out without them; after all, my promise has been fulfilled.
"Let's go!", I said to Davis.
We hastingly walked towards the door where Paul and his girlfriend was, and he pointed at the dead zombie killed by Paul at the beginning and said: "what about that one?"
We both looked at it and then back at him.
"Would you like to join him?", Paul asked as he swung the bar of steel in his hand in obvious irritation.
"No.. no!', he said as he bowed his head, with one hand and on it and the other pulling his girlfriend deeper into the prison near the gates of the cell we just left, where the zombies current are. But he still didn't get there because of Medusa.
"You all better make sure none of these animals die, else I'll make sure you die like an animal! I think by now, you should know I always keep my promises.", I said and walked out.
Opening the door of the prison, fort 4 had been turned upside down.
A guard ran towards me, bleeding and panting, one of his eyes had been removed. He knelt down before and said: "where have you been? They are looking for White Alpha's killer, please run sub commander, I know you killed him. You can't face this particular set of monsters alone."
After speaking, I was about to picking up and replying him, when a hand suddenly came out from his stomach and went back in.
He coughed out blood on my feet and fell, before he got to the ground his head was pulled off and blood sprayed out his neck.
This was just too violent.
When I looked up to see what did this, I saw a zombie eating up his lungs and there after pulling out his brain from his head at a very fast and abnormal.
I had never seen anything like this in my entire life.
To be continued.....
