Midnight
The moon was directly above the small group of adventurers. After their long day of training, they had to head back to their camp.
"Guys, let's hurry, this graveyard is freaking me out,"
"Stop being such a coward Devin, what could possibly happen?" muttered Jessica.
"Besides what's so scary?" whispered Derek.
"Ummm, tombstones, partially dug up graves, and the fact that this place is practically deserted…"
Silence surrounded the adventurers in the graveyard. The darkness had brought an eerie feeling to the graveyard. As if something was following them, watching them in the darkness.
"Oh my god! What the hell is that?!" cried out Devin.
Devin pointed into area ahead of them. It looked as if someone was coming towards them. Walking slowly, limping the whole way.
"It's a person! It looks like he's hurt!" cried Jessica.
She ran up to the person, and she got to him, she screamed in terror. The man's face was rotting and falling apart. The creature started to moan. Jessica backed off and ran towards Derek and Devin.
"Holy Shit! What the hell is that?" Jessica screamed.
"Ummm, guys…." muttered Derek. "There's more of them…a lot more…"
The adventurers looked around and couldn't believe there eyes. Surround them, was a huge crowd of rotting people, moaning as they limped toward the adventurers.
Devin raised his staff and quickly used magic to slice one of the creatures in half. It kept moving. Devin kept slashing and slashing at the zombies. If they lost their legs, they would just keep moving.
"Guys? What do we do?" cried Jessica.
At that moment, one of the creatures came from behind and jumped on Devin.
"HELP! GET IT OFF!" Devin screamed until it bit him.
He just stood their, motionless. His face started to rot and fall apart. He turned around towards Jessica. Derek jumped behind it and cut off his head with his sword.
"Jessica! Let's run for it!"
Derek and Jessica dashed through and opening in the crowd of creatures. They had not gotten far when jumped on top of Derek.
"No! DEREK!" Jessica stopped and turned back and ran for Derek.
One of them jumped on to her and began slashing at her. Derek screamed and then was bitten. Blood was flying everywhere, their screams echoed through the graveyard. Only one man heard. But all he did was laugh at the dead adventurers being eaten by his creation.
And thus began the war, between living and dead. The zombies had come, to kill them all. Every last person in the Maple World.
