I want something that is worth to fight for
Moaning. Croaking. Groaning. With unsteady steps they came. They are the apokalypse of our earth. Our real Armageddon. And with every passing day our time runs out. We, the living ones, haven't any hope or faith left that we will survive this reality any longer. It's too cruel and brute for normal humans to live in. But what choice do we have? We can't just stop fighting and let these beast eat us like a meal in a restaurant. No…not us. Not my brother and I. We can't afford to loose this fight of live that we promised our mother to fight and win. And by god I will make sure that my brother will win this. And when this will be my last thing to do then so be it….
,,Faster, Tommy, FASTER!" she shouted and try to encourage her little brother to move faster than them. But it wasn't enough for him to outran these monsters and he is getting weaker and weaker by every step he took. By Jesus…please give him strength. He can't give up on her now. Not yet when they are in front of the gates of THE town. They named it Nirwana like the final salvation of the people who are followers of the Budhist. And it is. There you don't have to be afraid that you will die the next day or will die because of starvation. No, there you can find food, water, shelter and a peacefull life. And all this is a step away from them. She just can see these fucking gates of it but when she took a look behind them there is only one thing that she could see. Death. Hopelesness. The End. The end of them all. But she didn't want to believe that this will be her fate or the fate of her brother. Maybe it will be hers to be but definitely not the fate of her little brother. Not when she could do anything to prevent this from happening.
,,'hûnny…please. I can't 'un anymore", coughed Tommy and lost some of his pace. His dirty, brown hair which is a way too long dangled in his face while his stormy grey eyes looks everwhere but bhind him. They are full of panic, fear and horror. Normally she would simply smile at his little speaking habit but at the moment it scars the shit out of her. When his little habit begin to show then his body isn't too far away from a break down. And that is something that can't happen now. Not yet he couldn't do that to her. Both of them could see these fucking gates of Nirwana which shone like a damn gold wall.
,,You can….I know you can", she yelled at him and gave him a little shove to show him that she is still there. With him but unfortunately that little movment drove her attention away and so she didn't see the monsters which came from the other site of them. From the site of her little brother who couldn't even begin to cry out because it was too late.
For Rhûn all this happened in slow-motion.
The monsters try to reach Tommy with their cranky, rotty arms while they barred their black or red teeth from the previous meal at him. By some you could even see the organs or the meat which hanging on their bodies like a necklace. It was horrible and the perfect stuff to make a nightmare or horror movie. And then it happens. Tommy stumbled over a little stone or some branch, she didn't know it and his little arms flew forward in a natural reaction. But it was his biggest mistake because the beasts took advantage of it. Like a bullet their arms shot out from their previous position and graped his little arms in their ugly fingers. Like a snake they pulled at him so that he fell to the ground and in secound they were over him and began to bite him.
And as his first scream full of pain and horror reached her ears Rhûn turned around and watched with wide open eyes as these monsters began to eat him alive bit by bit.
,,NOOOOO!", she shouted full of anguish, pain and horror for her little brother who gave her one last look with his stormy grey eyes before these monsters took him full.
His once stormy grey eyes grew dull and Rhûn watched with a face full of pain as her brothers body got lost while the zombies ate him and there was nothing that she could do to prevent this from happening.
But Rhûn couldn't think straight anymore. She was in a kind of trance where she could only focus on the motionless body of Tommy. Slowly the thoughts from the present comes through her state of shock.
Tommy. Dead. Dull. Motionloss. Away.
Tommy is dead. Her little brother who would watch her with admiration when she would go hunting to find some food for them was dead. He would never again try to be like her or look at her with his doggie-eyes to get what he wanted. He would never again listen to her when she was singing or telling him something about the world before these monsters overran it. She wouldn't bring him to bed or gave him a kiss on the forhead. She can't do this anymore because he is gone. Away. In a world where she wouldn't be able to get in.
Slowly her body began to shake and tremble as these thoughts runs through her mind.
She broke her promise. She hasn't protected Tommy from harm. She couldn't bring him to Nirwana or prevent this from happening. SHE was a LIAR. She lied to him and told him all things would be good at the end. She told him she would always be there for him, at his site and wouldn't let these monsters get him. She lied. She LIED. She was like her father…a liar.
And after this knowledge there was only one ting that she could do. Scream. And that she did. Rhûn began to scream like she was the one who was eaten alive. Her scream made all things stop. The world stops spinning. The monsters froze in their position and the air froze around her. It was like they were a sculpture and couldn't move from their position. All the sounds which were there before stopped and create a mystic silence. But all this didn't stop Rhûn from screaming and after all she didn't even notice that this happened. The only thing of which she is currently aware now is her pain. Her pain of the loss of the one thing that keeps her alive. That keeps her to fight but this person is now dead. And now she has nothing to fight for anymore. Unfortunately she didn't notice how she grew tired and slowly her eyes fell shut. More and more her body got weaker and weaker till the point where she went down like a sack of potatoes and her eyes finally shut down.
But there wasn't darkness that embraced her like she guessed. There was a bright, white light that shines in front of her. Warm and welcome. It feels like the hug from her mother when she was little and needed comfort. Oh God….Rhûn has the feeling that that was another life when she could get such a show of affection from another person. But right now it was the only thing which she wished to have. A warm embracement and it didn't really matter from who it was. And so she went to the white, bright light and reached with her arms for it. However before she could even touch it, the light grew brighter and Rhûn felt a rush before the light surrounds her and her vision goes blank and black while her soule drifted away with the feelings of dissapointment and grief settled within her. Only at the back of her mind she felt like someone grabed her and pulled her toward him or her but she didn't really notice it.
The only thing which she now sees and feels was the dark that embraced her like a lost daughter….
