Chapter 1: Prologue
Author's note: I know The Mist series is cancelled but I would continue the franchise of the series.
Alex watches in horror as the mist took Jay after he saved her.
She looks at him, tendrils of thick mist curling around and into his body, blank eyes, and she knows. She knows what it's like to feel your mind fill with terrors as the life is ripped out of your body. Something tells her Jay didn't rape her and he could prove he was innocent.
"Jay !" Screamed Alex as she finds the strength to rip out of her mother's grip, she rushed toward Jay ignoring her mother's shouts. She rushed through the fog of the mist, she found the strength to pull Jay away from the tendril of the thick his arm pull him away from the mist. Eva growled with frustration as she raced after her daughter struggling to pull him to his feet.
Instead of leaving Jay to die in the mist, Eva and Alex grabbed Jay by the arms and haul him back to the Humvee. Slamming the door once the group was inside the humvee. she pulls him into the back with her and holds him close. He's breathing heavy and she shakes with relief, doesn't let him go for fear that if she can't feel every breath he's taking he may stop breathing completely.
Eva sat in front breathed in relief, anger and frustration that Jay was with them.
Jay, Alex, Vic and Mia were in the back looking relief and intense. "Jeez." cursed Vic.
Kelvin then broke the silence. "He didn't do it." Her father answered honestly. Both Alex and Jay look confused even Eva next to him. "I want you and Jay to know that."
"What?" Asked Jay from his seat
"Who was it then?" Asked Eva looking stared at the window and at the foggy mist.
"Who told you I was dead?" Kelvin asked in a rhetorical and dark tone as he turned to his daughter. Eva and Alex suddenly looked shocked at Kelvin as he revealed the true culprit of Alex's rapist. Adrian the one that stood by his family.
Alex had her mouths opened with horror. She'd loved Adrian, and she doesn't cry, but she wants to. Unsure whether it's from relief or sorrow even horror. The cruel realization came over them until Jay broke the silence. "Adrian ? He did this." chocked Jay with horror and turned to face Alex still in shock.
Eva looks away and stiffed a breath. "Let's go I don't want to be near these people." Ordered Eva. Kelvin nodded as he pushes the pedal as the humvee took off driving.
Jay next to Alex let out a sigh of relief as his name was clear and pronounced innocent by Kelvin
The humvee turned around the parking lot and drove away from the mall survivors massing inside at the front doors watching them.
Kelvin glazed at them with hatred as he drove by then a burning rage burned inside his heart. He turned around humvee as it positions away from the front doors.
"Put your seatbelt on," ordered Kelvin to the rest of the group. His head faces the back of the car where the mob has mass then he had the car in reverse mode.
"Dad?" Asked Alex with confusion.
"What are you doing?" Asked Jay looking distressed.
Then it happened with Kelvin slammed his foot on the pedal, the car charged backwards like a battering ram as it speeds towards the entrance of the his eyes as he delivered the retruibution on it's doorsteps.
Gus Redman watched in horror as the back of the car came towards the ground.
"No, NO, NO!" Cried the mall manager with horror at the same time, the entire mob flee in terror. Everyone else screamed and ran away in all directions from the entrance. The car smashed through the doors; shattering glass and door frame everywhere as the mist came pouring into feast on the survivors.
This was for what the insane mall group did to his family and for leaving them to die.
Conner stood there away from the destruction of the doors stood there as he watches as the humvee struggled to move. Alex saw him from the window. Opening the door Alex call to him.
"Come with us." She called
"Dad come on." Called out Jay at his father responsible for throwing him out the doors. He was angry at his father but loved him.
Conner hesitated before hurried to the car as he removed the frame from the car. ignoring the screaming coming to the survivors as they die in gruesome deaths across the mist while Redman hides in his office in cowardice as the chaos continued.
Kelvin's group of Jay, Alex , Vic ,Mia , Conner and Eva all sit in the humvee and drove away from the mall into the thicken foggy mist.
Meanwhile, Wes and Joah were driving through the road as they stared at the mist silently unaware that the stowaway hid the back of the trunk. Adrian lay there bruised and bloodily from his beating from Kelvin's rage.
Three days later
Kelvin felt the rifle butt smashed into his stomach as he was forcefully dragged through the hallway of the mysterious base by a squad of soldiers in black gear and tactical vests. His family along with Vic, Mia , Conner and Jay gagged, terrified and bagged dragged by armed guards while struggling to get free. All them cuffed behind their backs
Kelvin tried screamed in his gagged mouth but the soldier smashed his rifle against his leg knocking him to the ground before dragged off to another corridor while his group was dragged to the prison cells in another room
The guards pushed them into fence like cells separate from each other once they removed the black bags off their heads. Alex was pushed to a small cell with a gag tied on her mouth as the guard slammed the fence gate shut.
Tears from her terrified face streaming down as Alex cried out to her mother and Jay from her gagged mouth. Pressed herself against the fence, She saw Jay in another cell in a row and her mother too at the next cell screaming her name. A guard with a scanner begun scanning the prisoners. Once the guard finished scanning Conner, Vic and Mia then came Alex. The scanner beeping out a warning.
"Come take a look at this sir, this one is off the charts." said a guard hand his scanner to his officer. The officer looked at the scanner shortly, opened the cell door and glaze at Alex who stood at the corner so terrified along with the prisoners watching in horror.
"NO NO NO!" Alex cried as her heart white with terror as the two guards stepped into the cell with menacing looking gasmasks. "She looks special better take the girl to the eggheads next door."
Both Jay and Eva in their cells watched in complete horror as the guards went into the cell and grabbed on both arms. The horror grew as Alex cried through tears, kicking, screaming and struggled against her captors as she was dragged into the hallway towards a door. Eva screamed and cried despite her gags for Alex with tears streaming down her face as she was helpless in the cell as her daughter was ripped away from her Eva collapsed slowly to the ground pressing her face against the fence sobbing with anguish. Jay shouted for Alex as he begun kicking the fence door despite having his mouth and hands tied up.
One of the guards snapped his rifle against the fence shouting at both Eva and Jay to shut up or to be executed with a bullet to the head. Alex turned at a cell with her mother on her knees crying hysterically "Alex!" Eva sobbed as she watches helpless her child with the two guards almost at the door. The door opened before the guards haul off with their prize while the rest of the prisoners watch helplessly.
"Don't you dare touch her!"
"Alex !" screamed Jay as his gagged mouth held his shouts, helplessly trapped in a cell
The last thing Eva and Jay heard from Alex before she was disappeared from the room. "MOOOOMMMM!"
Kelvin, on the other hand, found himself cuffed to a chair with his arms cuffed behind his back and his legs strapped.
An officer in the gas mask removed the bag and gag off from Kelvin revealing a cut on the side near his eye. A guard had a rifle aimed at his forehead.
Kelvin found himself with two guards in a gas mask and a table with another man in military fatigues and an arrowhead badge on his shoulder. A file was on the table.
"Wheres my family ?" Demanded Kelvin angrily struggled against his resistants.
"They are secured for now. But I apologized for the harsh treatment. My men may be a little skeptically but they want to be sure if you and your people are contaminated or under control from an unexpected host from the mist. We like to be cautious." answered the man rose from his chair.
"You will see them when you answer my questions without hesitation so how did you and your group survive in the mist ?"
Kelvin stared hard at the officer and glazed at his sidearm but gave a dark chuckle.
"You tell me." Answered Kelvin coldly "What I have seen? I have seen people go crazy and got my family thrown out the mall. After all the shit we begin through and everything I saw. I am dead already if we haven't made it. Is this want you to want? I can go?."
The man looks doubtful at the given answer. "We see about that Mr. Copeland or Kelvin Copeland I should say." The man said, "But you and me Kelvin, we are going to have a long chat before you see your family."
"You expect me to believe that?" Growled Kelvin as he remembers the train filled with prisoners thrown out and left to die in the mist.
"Perhaps the more we talk the sooner we get you back to your family." said the man. "You call me Major Rip Collins."
