Cult Of the Dead:
Revenge of the Dark Stalker

Prologue: Formulating a Plan
NOTE: This story takes place right after the cemetery attack on Grave Digger.
If someone were to stumble upon this scene, it would seem quite odd. There was a young man, maybe 21, 22 years old, lying unconscious at the edge of a wooded area in a northern New Hampshire cemetery. His head was resting on a rock, a large laceration pouring blood from his forehead. Not too far away, a woman of 19, possibly 20 years old, was sprawled underneath a tree in immense pain. A young man around the same age, with long, shaggy black hair ran out through the gates of the cemetery. Our story starts here.
The man, known to us as Grave Digger, was starting to arouse from his unconscious slumber. He picked up his head looking around at the scenery. He was not completely sure what had happened. He remembered that he met Christian Sain in this cemetery not too long ago. He also remembered being thrown head first into a gravestone. The only other thing he remembered was being tossed to the ground and passing out.
He wiped blood from his eyes as he slowly rose to his feet. He stumbled out of the woods, collapsing to his knees. He realized just how weak he really was. He crawled over to the motionless woman, his princess of the dead.
"Vempriss….are you ok?" Grave Digger asked, sitting up to his knees.
"….unnnnhhhh…yea, I'm ok…are you?" She replied, her eyes closed from pain.
"Ah…yea
I'm fine…but what the fuck just happened?"
"Well', she
started, "We came to tell Sain about you wanting to train him….then
he ambushed us and tried to take us out."
"Oh yea…that's right." He was silent for a minute. "That dirty little fucker….he fucking disrespects me, and thinks he can get away with it. Well he's wrong…DEAD wrong."
Grave Digger got to his feet and helped Vempriss up. Grave Digger then remembered how he'd brought a camera man along to document his and Sain's conversation. "Shit….that camera man taped the whole thing…and now he's probably gone for help. We can't be here when he gets back. Let's disappear and regroup." He said. He walked over and picked up a knife that he'd dropped while facing Sain. He put it in his pocket and motioned for Vempriss to follow him. They walked into the woods and disappeared to the darkness….Sain hadn't seen the last of Grave Digger and Vempriss.
