CHAPTER 2

CERBERUS BEAST

Rain came down harder than earlier. The heavy lights of the big truck glowed brightly in the darkness. Ash steered the truck onto the highway.

Driving quickly as he could. Clare reloaded they're weapons. She sat beside him. Checking his dual pistols. Checking his sawn off shotgun.

She looked at Ash. He stared at the street. Clare wondered something in her mind.

"Ash? How did you get over this?"asked Clare

"What? You mean this mess with the Dead and that Book?"asked Ash

"Yes, and with having to kill your friends and girlfriend? I mean I'm sorry I understand if you don't want to talk about it"said Clare

Ash looked towards her as she stared back at him. He continued steering little by little.

"No, it's fine I mean you never get used to it at all, you only get prepared for the troubles that come"said Ash

"I get it"said Clare

"I mean you and Helena must have dealt with more than what I have been through"said Ash

"Since childhood, and well our parents it cost us them"said Clare

"I'm sorry about that"said Ash

"Thanks for coming for me Ash"said Clare

Ash looked forward and smiled then back again.

"Clare I made a deal with-"

"I know, but I still think I should say it even if it means that you care more about your reward than other things"said Clare

Ash closed his eyes and looked forward again. He smiled. The rain splattered hard onto the glass. Looking forward he opened his eyes.

"Clare...I don't know, if your sister hadn't convince me...I don't know what would I have done"said Ash

"You would have still done something about this like you did earlier"said Clare

Ash only stared at the road. Thinking of what Clare was talking about.

"Ash what I have heard and learned about you is that your one of the few with a good Soul, who will aid the people even when they don't want it or need it"said Clare

"I know what you lost...but you are a good man, feeling guilt over the last 2 years won't help you, you need to accept it and live Ash it's the only way"said Clare

Ash looked back towards her.

"Thanks Clare"said Ash

Clare smiled at him. Within seconds of there moment. It was ruined by a movement. The truck moved left. Ash steered away from the tree's on the left side.

"What the fuck!"yelled Ash

"Oh shit!"yelled Clare looking on her right side window. Seeing a massive beast. It's fur was nearly gone. Yet its muscles showed as it ran quickly.

Its body was large. It was the shape of a bear. It had a long tail with a human skull bleeding and screaming loudly.

Its chest had another skull but it was of an antelope. Bleeding out. The third head was a skull of a bear with no skin or eyes. Its skull continued bleeding.

"Sons of a bitches doesn't give up"said Ash

Clare looked back at the beast as it roared in 3 voices. Clare shattered the glass of her door.

Firing the sawn off shotgun towards the Cerberus Best's left shoulder. It yelled and growled as it kept up running beside them.

Quickly it rammed into the right hand side of the Bronco Truck. Ash struggled to keep the truck on the road. Clare stopped firing the sawn off shotgun.

She grunted. Ash looked towards her seeing her tossing out the broken window the empty shells.

"Clare steer!"yelled Ash

Clare quickly rushed towards the wheel. Ash moved towards the back of the seats. He grunted aloud struggling to move quickly as he moved towards the end.

He stood on his knees as he kicked open the back door. The door dropped heavily slamming hard. Wet cold rain slammed onto him. He took aim.

His weapon was a mounted machine gun turrent.

"OPEN WIDE!"yelled Ash

The Bronco Truck moved away as Ash fired towards the Beast. It yelled as heavy large bullets slammed into it's chest and shoulders.

It's massive arms struggled to continue as Ash fired away. Yelling in rage. Clare looked back towards him as he continued.

Sounds of the running machine gun turrent went on. Ash aimed carefully as it was bolted down into the back end of the Bronco truck. Allowing him perfect aim.

Cerberus Beast moved right trying to move away from the range. Yet it didn't work as it's left arm came right off.

It tripped and smashed face first into the ground. It screamed in rage and in pain. Ash continued firing as they passed its body firing at its main head.

Shooting it clean off. Ash stopped firing as he breathed in. Looking back towards Clare as she drove heading down hill towards the Town.


* CHANGE OF VIEW* *POINT OF VIEW CHANGED* Returning to the point of view from "Harley and Helena"

Harley was instantly pulled into the Bar as the beast charged into the bloody Pick up truck. The Pick up truck was thrown across the street. It roared in rage.

Helena closed the doors shut. Locking themselves inside. She looked back towards Harley.

"Help me now!"she yelled

Harley ran towards the nearest table and pushed it to hold back the doors. Banging and movement went on from the outside. Pushing Helena and Harley.

"Shit!"yelled Harley

The outside noises kept going. Sounds of the roaring voice of the Beast. Helena and Harley backed away front he steel doors.

"What the fuck is going on?!"yelled Harley as she looked towards Helena

"The Necrocomicon has been awakened, Demons have entered our world of the living and began possessing the bodies of Mortals, turning them into Demonic Beings"said Helena with stopping

Harley stared at her shocked. Holding her AK-47 with both hands. She stared with a "WTF" face.

"How do you know all this?! And what the fuck is a Necrocomicon?!"said Harley
