My heart pumped in slow motion. The birds and the breathes of my allies slowed to almost a complete stop. It was Porter.
"We need a plan Max" Porter said. Sweat was beading down his tan forehead, and his light purple eyes were glowing.
"Daniel said you were a Necromancer. What do they do besides freeze time." I asked my question fast. Porter didn't seem like he could hold the freeze long and the whole thing was making me nervous.
"Raise the dead." He said. The strain in his voice was obvious. He was weak. I didn't understand why because earlier he had froze about 50 men in a cramped hall way.
"Can you do it?" I asked. Things were speeding up. Slowly, but they were still going.
"I need to unfreeze and the scientist couldn't help but to inform me that I glow violet when I use that power." He said. His voice was cracking and the birds where coming into low chirps. I saw the dilemma though. The glowing will give away the plan. One thing did puzzle me though.
"How many dead people are there in this courtyard?" He smiled.
"Enough for world domination." Those words made my blood run cold. His voice was dark and the smile that tickled on his lips didn't help either. He had a dark side. There wasn't anything wrong with it. Come to think of it Angel had her moments too.
"Well then get going." Daniel said and it made me jump in shock. I forgot there was more than Porter and I here. "There taking a moment to talk over things, but there cameras everywhere. We probably have 2 minutes before they notice."
"Go for it. Now." I said.
"A secret societies past experiments of dead coming right up." Porter mumbled. There was a wave of wind that cooled me down to almost freezing. The whole situation we were in made me forget that we were outside. The weather was nice, but jackets and jeans were still necessary. Right now I and the guys were wearing all white. They were sweatpants and a T-shirt 5 sizes to big.
The birds stared chirping and a wave of warm... energy flowed through me. I looked at Porter and caught a glimpse of Daniel looking over me to get a better view. Porter eyes glowed first. He was smiling and focusing on a tree 10 feet away. He was so much more beautiful now. His hair was moving and curling in loops as his energy went through him. I felt it all and then he glowed. The energies blast sent me into another world. I could feel things changing. The birds were screeching and crows were approaching. Daniel looked as he did before. Surprised. I was more on the boat with the animals. The squirrels and other inhabits fled and my reflex was similar. I wanted to go somewhere safe and comforting.
A scream from somewhere near the tree made me cry out with it from shock. I have never felt this way. It was to much. It was to dark. I guess animal instincts had its downs as much as ups. I mean I guessed its why Daniel was so calm and I was wigging out beyond belief. I heard another scream. It was Ari. You can change his image, but not the wolf. He was reacting like me. Clink. My chain had broke. I looked at it and realized I had done it. I guess it did have its ups. Here I was about to deny it. The next sound was a roar and my throat tightened at the thought that Ari had changed, but it wasn't animal it was supernatural. A zombie had erupted from the trees earth. The glowed had stopped and the energy crackled on our skin. Porter was in gasps and his head was down. He was covered in sweat.
"Holy crap." Daniel said. He wasn't surprised anymore. His face was more neutral.
"What the hell." Another voice said. It was a man and the scientist behind him stood open mouthed. Well guys this has to be the one and only General.
"I control you experiment 443!" Porter yelled. The zombie turned toward us. His eyes were still in the socket (Thank God), but he was still gross looking. The body itself couldn't have been dead long. He had some of his left cheek rotting to the bone. Has left leg was also rotted to the bone. The right hand was missing. I already hate zombies. "Shit." Porter mumbled.
"What?" I said. The zombie had stopped looking at us and was paying attention to the white coats and the guy in the army uniform.
"When a zombie that was murdered is resurrected they tend to want there undead revenge. They go after there murder automatically in some sort of supernatural homing device. Like turtles want to find the place they were born." He said it slowly, but all his attention was on the zombie.
"So the white coats were he's murders?"
"No. The General was. And theres a catch. I can't control them until there dying wish is done." As if on cue the zombie (were gonna call him 443) attacked the General. Like all good soldiers he was armed. He pulled out a gun and I guess he didn't have the safety on because he shout 443 right away. The scientist were already inside, but the General wasn't backing down yet. He grabbed his lighter as 443 jumped in him.
"Experiment 443! Use our powers!" Porter yelled. I think 443 understood. He stopped 10 feet from the General. There was a flash and the trees started moving.
"The dead have powers?!" Daniel yelled in excitement.
"Yep, and they tend to be able to use them 10 times better than they did alive." Porter said there was a smile playing on his face. He turned to me. "Were getting the hell out of here. You have a free hand, Max. Use it." I giggled at my ignorance and I used all my strength grabbing the left chain to break with my right hand. Clink. I fell to the ground head first.
"Shit." I mumbled. I felt funny. I looked up and 443 was playing with the General. He hadn't kill him right away like I would have done. He was just playing with him. A smile on his face. I looked at Porter. His eyes were glowing. I guess he did have some control after all. I felt a crackle come from somewhere.
"Max.." Daniel said softly. It was almost a whisper. I heard another crackle then something that sounded like fire igniting. I looked at my hands. It was me. I had fire in both my palms. I had powers.
