There will be no pairing in this Fic so don't worry.
Warning: Zombies and the stuff that Zombies do.
I only own the plot.
Chapter 4: The road to hell is paved with good intentions
Adam knew something big was going to happen how could he not with Harry as a friend he has seen his share of weird.
The compound was one of many, Harry showed him her teleporting trick which made it easier to raid supplies. The compounds were made three on seven continents. He had to admit the way the wards were powered gave him nightmares for weeks.
It does help that because they have magic they are naturally immune to whatever caused this.
Only those with magic may find the compounds and cross the wards. Adam had to agree with it they shouldn't have to waste resources on those who could endanger the whole just because they survived as well.
Harry told him that they would be leaving soon her mother was dead and nothing was tying her to here anymore. Did he think she was nuts when she admitted to being Death yeah he thought she had lost her mind but he understood. Meeting real life Grim Reapers changes everything.
Padfoot being a Hellhound helped move things along seriously. Now that freaked him out. Sure he knew some dogs have red eyes but they aren't supposed to catch on fire and take down zombies. I mean come on.
Shane woke up and Harry put him in charge, she said it would be better if an adult seemed in charge. Adam being the oldest had no wish of being that adult. Fuck that. He was no sucker the one in charge dies the messiest, horror movies thought him how to survive he wasn't the idiot who gets killed. Heros die, cowards survive. He was lucky to have found a safe place not many are as lucky to have been taken in like he was.
There are only six of them counting Shane and other then him the rest are kids. They needed an adult.
Harry was clearing the nearby lake with Adam when Grell appeared. The first thing out of his mouth was that he found my key. In a world of Slayers. It took awhile but Harry remembered that she had been asked to grant power to a bloodline. Power that would only pass from Mother to Daughter. Death doesn't like being forced into things. She cursed the line should a life be taken unjustly the female would die and the power transferred to another down the line. Once chosen they would never again be able to give life.
It seemed fitting and what did she care what happened to some mortal. Only a few mortals have ever gained her favor.
Now that her key has been found she would need that sacrifice to jump sooner then she had planned.
Shit, leaving now is no good, Adam still needs time and training.
What is she going to do?
No choice it has to wait.
Grell was ordered to collect the sacrifices and to keep them on ice till they were needed.
One more year and they would go anyone or thing outside the wards at the time of the ritual would power the spell.
A purge is never something Death accepts just for the hell of it but a death curse this bad needs to be exstingushed as soon as possible with as many survivers as it's possible to make.
As selfish as it is the key is worth killing for.
The purge had to happen it was the only way to save the souls currently trapped within their own bodies. Who ever it was to do this was resourceful. Not even Death could find them. Which is not good, very not good. The only thing that is hidden from Death is the Key. And thats only because of some stupid Goddess that tried to steal it. Harry might have cursed the basterds that stole it, but they so deserved it. To think some bitch could get one over on her as if. Harry would have reaped her and kept her Key safe.
This world was doomed she did her part she set the souls free what she could there were to many to focus as she has been doing. The purge will release all the souls at once overflowing the river but a simple lust spell well take care of that. Many twins are going to be born after the purge. A sudden baby boom will take care of it though perhaps she should ward some woodlands?
It wouldn't do to kill off all the animals that have managed to survive after all.
Harry had all Reapers called in to help her with this mess. Hopefully not all life will be lost. The wards will take time to power up but all of them should be up and running in a years time.
Right now she and Adam were going to locate other survivers and take them to the compound. They had electricity, running water and food. What they needed were doctors, carpenters, people who could help with survival while her Reapers gathered Surviveres and stashed them in the verious compounds all over the world.
In one years time this will be over, in one years time they will be gone, in one years time.
