Chapter 45: Storm (6)

It all started out as nothing more than a physical crush. She couldn't be blamed since it had been so long since she had gotten any form of release. Maybe if her previous boyfriend didn't leave her so unfulfilled near daily, she wouldn't think like this. Only caring about his own pleasure. Perhaps that was the reason why her toy collection was so large and depraved.

'When you look at the cold hard facts, it's not my fault.'

Lily constantly repeated this in her head as she walked with Alice to listen to Crazy Seven's broadcast.

The very first time she saw Jason, she found him to be kind of handsome. Sure, he wasn't some Adonis, but his large frame and deep voice just did something to her. Of course, it wasn't some love at first sight nonsense. However she didn't have anyone else.

Kevin was gay, Bill was old enough to be her grandfather, and Zach was way too clingy and needy. That turned her off near instantly. As for Tyrone? He treated them like little sisters. So, only Jason was left.

She could confidently say that at the beginning, she had no feelings towards him besides a little sexual attraction. But as time went on, those feelings began to develop in a direction she kept denying. The more time they spent together and the more they bickered, she started to fall in love with him.

'But then…' Lily felt her heart ache when seeing Alice and Jason kiss in that stairwell. However, she buried those agonizing emotions deep within her and tried to deny everything she felt.

'I love him, I know that now. But I can never have him because I care for Alice more than anything else. And hurting her, is something I could never do.'

"Lily? You okay?" Hearing that, Lily hurriedly looked at Alice who seemed concerned. Despite the troubling waves in her heart, she made a brave front.

"I'm in tip top shape and ready to take on the world! Why do you ask?" Alice looked at her big sister who was putting on an act. Did she really think she could fool her?

She grabbed Lily's hand as they arrived at the platform, squeezing it comfortingly and giving her a warm smile.

"I've been with you all my life, so I know when something is bothering you. Let me carry your burdens. I'm here for you Lily, always."

Lily was stunned for a moment. Her entire life has been spent protecting and caring for her little sister. Some days, she felt less like a sibling and more like a mother. Especially since she was the one to change her diapers in place of their parents. Now, Alice was trying to do the same.

She smiled brilliantly, her heart filled with warmth and affection.

"Thank you Alice, but it's nothing I can't handle." Nothing else came from them as they stood there, hand in hand. No words were needed any longer, as they knew what the other was thinking.

'I love you, sister.'

Suddenly, a hand appeared on both of their shoulders, startling them.

"You stupid piece of shit-" The fiery Lily began, but quieted down when seeing the source of her problems. Seeing those black eyes and perfect muscles reminded her of last night. A light blush appeared on her face as she looked away.

"Nice to see you too Lily. Hey Alice." Jason leaned down, taking his love's lips who eagerly accepted. Unlike Lily, she had sensed his presence beforehand.

'Hm, a fifty meter range. Much larger than before.' Alice thought to herself. She wondered if it would continue to grow stronger.

Just as they separated and were about to talk, a voice came from the radio.

"Welcome back my children. You are listening to Infected News Radio." Immediately, the people listening could tell something was wrong. None of his usual cheer and joy. Almost, defeated.

"Day by day, we lose more and more land out there to the unstoppable infected monsters. The world is falling into their hands, and we are powerless to stop it." A depressing sigh came from the radio.

"I've gotten word from my contact that an Alpha Behemoth is on it's way to Washington. And by God, this thing is on a war path. It has left nothing but death and destruction in it's wake, wiping out multiple cities and growing the never-ending horde of infected following it." Gasps came form the audience, finding the news horrible.

"The evacuations have already started, taking the refugees to a secret base nearby. However, there's too little time and too many people. The military are doing all they can, but they're not Gods.

That's bad right? Not to worry, I got more locked and loaded. Know that massive storm coming? Turns out, it's going to be larger and more dangerous than we first thought. We do have an accurate timeline though. Four days, that's how much time you have before all hell breaks loose."

"Next up, got some bad news for my European folks. At the moment, all of Europe is cowering before an Alpha that has proclaimed himself The Rat Emperor. His unending swarm has ravaged the land, consuming everything in their path whether they be human, infected, or animals. Even plants aren't safe from their ravenous hunger.

Nothing they throw at him works. Not the new weapons or the old ones. Currently, he is considered one of if not the strongest infected in the world. At least, by land's standards. That's right kids, time to finally talk about the scary depths of the deep dark ocean.

Don't try your luck with crossing the sea, trying to find some uninhibited Island safe from all the madness. You won't get far. Below the dangerous surface, giant leviathans roam looking to swallow up any would-be sailor. I'm talkin 100-300 meter long monsters that could give Godzilla a run for his money. One good thing I guess, is that they can't come on land yet. So… lucky us huh?"

The rest of the broadcast wasn't interesting to Jason in the slightest. Instead, he wanted to take this time and 'deepen' his relationship with Alice further. The hand still on her shoulder slid down, caressing her hip before eventually reaching her ass.

When Alice felt her cheeks being manhandled, she couldn't help but lean back into him. But as his actions grew bolder, her breaths started to become heavy as her left hand grabbed his hardening shlong.

Suddenly, she shook her head free of any sinful thoughts and grabbed the wrist playing with her ass while releasing his cock. Jason was confused, but excited as she started leading him away.

"Sorry Lily, but I've got something to talk about with this big gorilla here." The big muscular sister felt her heart burn in anger and envy, but simply nodded and ignored them.

Soon enough, they reached Jason's metal house and went inside. When the door closed, his lips latched onto her neck while his hands groped her breasts. Despite the growing lust within her making her moan out lightly, Alice patted him on the head.

"Not now you breeding bull. I swear, you're like a rabbit in heat. When I said I have to talk to you, I meant it." Hearing the seriousness in her voice, Jason stopped.

"What's up?" She led him over to the bed and sat down cross-legged. However, she didn't say a word and only looked directly into his eyes. Her elbows were on her knees and her hands were on her chin, a slight smirk on her face. Jason was alarmed. Something seemed to be coming.

Out of nowhere, she asked an 'innocent' question.

"How do you feel about my sister?" Jason was confused about where this was going, but answered nonetheless.

"She's fine I guess? A little bitchy and witchy though. Don't tell her I said that. Know damn well that demoness will take a patch of skin for the insult." Suddenly, he saw Alice grin knowingly.

"Come on Jason, I'm not blind. I see how the two of you look at each other. How you get along so well. Especially the night of the party." Sweat began forming around his forehead, guilt creeping up his spine.

"Alice I…"

"Shh." Before he could continue, Alice placed a finger on his lips to shut him up. Jason saw a smile on her face as she took back her finger.

"You know, I don't mind if you two get together." He was slackjawed at what she said and couldn't believe his ears.

"You what?"

"I love my sister so, so much. Just as much as I love you. I want her to be happy, and I think she would be happiest with you. So I'm fine with it if you two have feelings for each other. Besides, technically, she liked you first." That came as a surprise to him.

Jason knew Lily liked him, but didn't know that crush went on for so long. Still, he shook his head.

"I admit I… do feel a type of way towards her. But I would never betray you Alice. You don't have to test me like this." She held his hand and squeezed it.

"It's not a test or anything like that. Lily loves you, and I'm saying it's fine to get together. Come on, just think about it." She leaned in, whispering seductively as her left hand stroked his hardening cock over his clothes.

"Two blood related sisters kneeling before you and sucking your big. Fat. Cock~ The both of us writhing underneath you, calling out your name as you breed us~"

She smile lustfully seeing his eyes haze over as his cock came to full mast. But then, he shook those thoughts loose and looked directly into her emerald jewels.

"Alice, are you sure about this? I don't need anyone else in my life except for you." Her smile became sweet, her other hand releasing his own and caressing his cheek. But her movements didn't stop, still pumping away.

"Very sure. I like the idea of the three of us being one big family. Besides, your stamina is fucking ridiculous and I could use the help in taming you. But-" Her left claw suddenly came out and threatened to slice off his meatsicle. However, the danger only made his cock harder.

"I might be giving you my blessing to fuck my sister, but don't think for a moment that means you can take any whore that comes calling. You belong to me and Lily. You want another bitch? She has to go through us. Comprende?" He chuckled, kissing her deeply on the lips.

"Of course, my beautiful Ice Princess. I am yours to command." His joking tone made her giggle a little.

"But what about Lily? Are you so certain she'll agree to this?" Alice released her hostage and stood up, confidence overflowing from her as she put her hands on her hips.

"Yup! She's been wanting to jump your bones for a while. Now that she has the chance? No way in hell she'll pass it over." Then, she seemed to remember something.

"Jason, do you think you can make Lily like us? So we can be together… forever?"

He thought about it for a few seconds, before looking at one of his hands. A black vein appeared and circled around before disappearing.

"Yes, I think I can. But I'm not sure how to go about it. I'll need to test that out first on some regular people before putting her in harm's way. Well, maybe when..." Alice smiled seeing him be so concerned for Lily, even though he didn't seem to notice it himself.

"Great! I'll get going and talk to her later. Love you!" She kissed him on the lips and skipped out of the house, leaving a pent up Jason.

"I'm still… but…" He sighed, looking down at his raging erection and wondering if he should take care of it himself.

Then, his head snapped towards the door where Alice peeked her head in and smiled mischievously.

"By the way, make sure to keep those balls nice and loaded for tonight so you can dump all that fertile spunk deep inside Lily." She giggled like a little demon and ran away when seeing his cock that just calmed down, go right back up.

"You heartless fucker."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day passed by quickly as various events unfolded. First, Michael and a few Reapers were allowed to leave. As he was needed elsewhere, he couldn't just stay in the Docks for the rest of his life. Thanks to a few witnesses who backed up his alibi, he soon left in a hurry with a few soldiers assigned to protect him.

"Dammit…" Lily glared at the hateful bastard leaving through the shipping container, surrounded by armed guards. She knew it was slim he was the killer, but a girl had to dream.

"Don't lose your cool just yet. Got a long day ahead of us." At Saul's words, color drained from her face as a groan came from her lips.

"Whenever I find the asshole who did this, I'll tear his spine out and beat him to death with it!" Her hatred for the murderer suddenly spiked at the thought of more work. Then, she remembered hearing Jason say the same thing once and started chuckling.

"What's so funny?" Saul raised an eyebrow at her dramatic shift in emotions. He seriously wondered if this woman was nuts.

"Just, remembering good times." He saw her smile turn bright and full of life. It was something he had seen in his daughter when she was in college.

'Is she in love with someone?' But as the next person entered, he threw that thought to the back of his mind and got to work.

While Michael returned home, Alice was beginning to gain a good reputation around the camp. Instead of leaving to gain more power, she thought it best to help out around the place and pull her weight. Thanks to her impressive strength, construction efforts on the wall nearly tripled.

Coincidentally, a horde just so happened to attack as she helped out. The onlookers watched with both fear and excitement seeing the young girl gleefully slaughter over a hundred common infected with ease. 

"Good thing she's on our side." One said.

"I know right? By the way, isn't there a second guy just like her?" His friend replied.

"Yeah, but I've heard he's fucked in the head. What if he suddenly snaps one day? How will we deal with a monster like that?" Such conversations were happening across their ranks as they witnessed something unnatural unfolding before their eyes.

Bill had a solemn look on his face watching the carnage. He could spot a sadistic smile on Alice's face as she was bathed in blood.

'Is she even the same person anymore? Is she even human? I wonder if this is what he did... on purpose. Some form of mind control?' His instincts were screaming at him that something was wrong. The last time that happened was when a group of four muggers had robbed and killed a woman.

The problem was, that was suppose to be him. If he didn't listen to his gut feeling, he would have gone down that same street and would've been another statistic.

"I need to talk to the others, especially Edward. Hm, maybe not Lily though. I highly doubt she'd go against her 'precious' sister." Already, Bill was walking away towards Tyrone's garden. He wasn't positive about Jason and Alice, but better safe than sorry.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No! Please God no!" A terrified woman screamed out as she thrashed against the rope holding her. She was dangling from the ceiling like a piece of meat.

"Don't do this! Let me out I beg you!" She pleaded with her captor, but was met with nothing more than a frown.

"Stop Killgore!" Jason held the vicious hound by the scruff of her neck as she mindlessly tried to attack the woman.

However, she seemed to ignore his command and struggled against his grip. Of course, she would never be able to best him. The frown on his face continued to grow when thinking about how even the other commons reacted the same way.

Trixie was better, but he could see a battle inside her mind as she fought against her instincts. It seemed to be hardwired into them to attack any non-infected creature.

The specials might be different, more in control of themselves. But the commons were more like rabid beasts, unable to hold back their desire to spread the virus.

'Do I need more control over them? I've been slacking like a proper fool. I should tap deeper into that ability.' Jason sighed at his failure and forcefully brought Killgore out of the room.

Suddenly, it was as if the spell controlling her was broken. She looked around confused, but became scared when seeing his angry expression.

"Bad girl! Not listening to me huh?!" He roughly smacked the top of her head, making her whine out in pain. Her ears dropped and her tail was tucked in between her legs. Feeling a little bad, he scratched her neck and apologized.

"I'm sorry Killgore. But you have to be in more control if this is gonna work. We'll try again soon." After seeing her mood improve, he went to his kitchen and grabbed a plate of food.

Ever since he started consuming the infected, he noticed his basic needs started to disappear. Food, water, sleep. It was as if he wasn't human anymore.

"At least I still want sex, so that's a plus!" Thinking of tonight, he happily went back to the apartment he just left with a goofy smile on his face.

"No more, please. Just let us go…" Seeing him enter, the woman became frightened at this monster and tried reasoning with him.

"Oh come on, it's not so bad. You have a roof over your head, food and water, safety. Do what I want and everything will be just peachy." He walked up to her and used a fork to grab some food. However, she refused to eat it.

"Now that's no good." His tone became cold and emotionless, making her freeze up. She looked into his black eyes and saw her own teary reflection within then.

Jason's hand lightly grabbed her throat, no power within it. For some reason though, that scared her more.

"You either do this alive, or as a corpse. Choice is yours. Don't think you're important to me after all. There's five others waiting in the other room and I'm sure they'll happily take your place to not get eaten alive." Her body started trembling as she opened her mouth, letting him place the food inside.

"There you go, eat up now. Do as I please, and I'll let you and your friends go unharmed. Understand?" She nodded as he continued feeding her. The power he held over her was addictive, making his face light up in joy.

When finished giving her food and drink, he let her down and gave a final warning as he left the room.

"Don't try anything. Even if you somehow get past me, there's nearly five hundred infected waiting downstairs to tear your flesh apart." Her hopes and dreams of escaping were immediately crushed into paste. She numbly nodded her head, defeated.

Jason grinned at that and closed the door. He still couldn't believe how lucky he got to find a group of healthy humans in only two hours.

"Seems Lady Luck is blessing her handsome worshipper. Well, believer is more accurate."

Inside the next apartment, five people were sitting within the living room. Some were on the couch, while others were on the floor or in chairs. One man with a black eye had gritted teeth and tightened fists when listening to his girlfriend's screams.

Wild thoughts were going through his mind as he imagined that giant 'man' pinning her down and raping her.

Suddenly, he stood up off the couch and yelled out.

"Fuck it! We should fight back against this freak!" But no one moved. Instead, a cold voice cut through the air, mocking him.

"And how do you suppose we do that genius?" He glared at the raven haired and pale woman who spoke. His finger pointed at the door.

"Simple. We'll have one person hide behind the door and attack him from behind when he walks in." The woman, Jessica, clapped her hands slowly.

"Brilliant Einstein. Pulled out all the stops on that one. I see no flaws in your logic. But I guess you just so happened to forget the moment he broke the wall with his fist? What are you even going to use?" Peter was furious at her constant sarcastic mocking, but grinned at her last question.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a large hunting knife.

"Dumb bastard forgot to disarm me." She raised an eyebrow as the others became a little excited.

'Yeah, or he didn't bother because it doesn't effect him.' Yet she said nothing and simply became quiet, waiting for the show.

Seeing her silence, Peter saw that as a massive victory. He tried hyping up the others to join in.

"There's no way in hell this asshole has anything good planned for us. Who knows, he might be some kind of rapist serial killer." His words scared everyone in the room except for Jessica who found him to be a clown.

"Here's the game plan. When he enters, I want you guys to distract him first. Then I'll sneak up behind him and slit his throat open!" Venom leaked from his voice as another round of hatred burned inside his heart. He would kill this monster, save the day, and get his girl back!

"That doesn't sound half bad. No matter what, he's still human. That injury will probably fuck him up severely."

"We could use the table legs as weapons. I'm sure if we looked around, we might find something better." Two others, a man and a woman, had clearly signed up with his grand plan. The only one not jumping in was a frightened man with glasses on.

"H-Hey, let's not risk it. Who knows what could go wrong? Then he'd punish us really bad. Maybe kill us." But the three musketeers didn't take him seriously.

"Come on Preston, your settlement needs your help." Peter said in a joking manner, his hand outstretched towards him

Preston chuckled and felt some courage build inside him. Against his own better judgment and after a few more encouraging words from the others, he took his friend of ten years hand. Peter pulled him off the couch and slapped his shoulder.

"Good man!" He looked at the silent and blank Jessica who had strange eyes. As if she were looking at dead people.

"Will you join us?" Suddenly, she snorted and began laughing like his question was the funniest thing in the world.

"I'm not suicidal. Go ahead and kill yourselves for all I care though." Her lack of any concern for their well being made the entire group despise her. Even before this, she wasn't well liked for her gloomy aura and outlook of the world.

Looking at each other, they came to the same conclusion instantly. When they killed the horrible monster, they would kick her out of their group to fend for herself.

As for Jessica, she wasn't an idiot. She could already tell what they were thinking, but hardly cared. In her mind, she was prepared to do anything to please her captor. Survival was more important to her than dignity.

Just as Peter got into position, the doorknob started to turn. He nodded his head at the woman. She did the same and kneeled on the ground while screaming out.

"Oh God it hurts! It hurts so much!" She held her stomach, tears forming in her eyes. Preston and the other man kneeled beside her, rubbing her back with concern. There was no way a man could ignore a beautiful woman crying.

The door opened and the large beast walked in. He soon stepped in front of her, a tray with food in his hand and confusion on his face.

"The fuck is wrong with you?"

"Die!" Peter came up behind him while he was distracted and stabbed him in the throat as hard as he could.

But to his and everyone's shock, the blade broke in half when it made contact with his skin.

Silence dominated the room, the only noise being the broken half of the knife that landed on the ground a few feet away. Peter watched in horror as the man turned around, a smile on his face.

"I never thought someone would actually act like you. I mean, screaming 'Die!' as you ambush someone? Do you think life is a movie and you're the main character? Usually, when one wants to assassinate someone they do so, you know, silently." With a happy tone, he placed the tray on a counter in the kitchen.

Jason walked back in front of Peter and looked down at his frozen form. He couldn't help but grin savagely. One of his hands grabbed the top of his head before he could react.

"I'm just dying to know though, why would you try such a worthless endeavor?" Peter tried struggling, but found it was like fighting against an iron wall.

With the spectators watching in horror, Jason's fingers turned into black tendrils that dug into his victim's mind. Searching around just a little, he easily found the answer.

"Seriously? Rape? I would never do such a disgusting thing. Never. I… hate that shit." Towards the end, his tone became full of hatred and malice. Memories of the past he tried so hard to bury crawled back to the surface.

Jason grit his teeth in rage, crushing Peter's head between his fingers. His skull split open, making blood and brain splash all over him. The others in the room screamed out, standing there in fear watching the killer's back. He stood there for a few seconds, breathing in and out heavily before calming down.

When he turned around, their hearts skipped a beat seeing the smile on his bloodied face.

"Now, stand still. Or, you can join your friend in death." Jason wanted to see how many were involved in the mutiny. As for what happened before? Troubled thoughts buried once more.

The terrified group followed his orders and stood still as he read their memories. After each one, he clicked his tongue and shook his head. It was as if he were a disappointed father who walked in on his son wearing a bra and panties.

"What a shame. I extended my hand, giving you kindness by feeding you, gave you a roof over your head, and kept you safe from the horrors of the world. Yet this is how you repay me? Spit in my face? You cruel bastards!"

His insane babbling made them look at each other in confusion. Wasn't he the one who kidnapped and kept then hostage? But they would never say that out loud.

When Jason got to the calm Jessica still sitting on her chair, he raised an eyebrow. He noticed that since he entered, this woman was different from the others. All signs pointed towards her being the only one not apart of the coup. However, he would still read her mind regardless. For the fun of it.

"Hold still and be calm." She closed her eyes, giving him full control. That submissiveness nature reminded him of Trixie and Alice in bed, pleasing him deeply. Instantly, he gained a good impression of her.

As he rummaged around her thoughts and memories, Jason was surprised. His previous conjecture was correct. She had no part in the awful plan they concocted and gave minimal effort in persuading them to stop their useless efforts. Instead, she seemed completely content with watching them either make a fool of themselves, or die.

'What a cruel woman. Nice!'

Besides that, she was willing to do nearly anything to satisfy him if it meant surviving. Jason gained a bit of respect for her for such a thing. Sacrificing your dignity and pride for the goal of living was something he found interesting. After all, what use were those two things when you were buried and gone? Forgotten in the river of time with maggots eating your rotten corpse.

"Not bad." A small smile was on his face as he took his hand back and sized her up.

'Oh! One of my favorites!' She was what one would call an Emo or Goth girl.

Long and straight raven black hair. Pale white skin that had never seen the light of day. Despite it being the apocalypse, she still took the time to paint her nails black. Dangling on her ears, a pair of upside-down cross earrings could be seen. On her neck was a choker, begging someone to use it for kinky means.

Her assets were decent, certainly above an average woman. She had a beautiful face, but her eyes were a normal and plain brown. A few tattoos could be seen on her skin, but in Jason's mind they only heightened her beauty further.

Although he couldn't see it, he would definitely love the tattoo of the badass succubus that took up her entire back.

Jessica opened her eyes and looked directly into his black ones. She couldn't take her gaze away from them, becoming lost in their allure. Suddenly, she saw him turn around and with a speed she couldn't track, grabbed Preston's head.

"I won't kill you. But a punishment is in order for your betrayal." At the end of his words, Preston screamed in pain and fell to the floor in a fetal position. His entire body thrashed and flailed around, as if he were having a seizure.

What Jason had done was implement the same torture technique he used on the man yesterday. Unlike before though, it's intensity was far below what he had suffered. At the same time, he had put a time limit on it that would stop after ten minutes.

'Don't want them to break after all. My mercy knows no bounds.' His gaze was set on the other two, who stepped back in fear. But how could they escape his speed? They soon joined Preston on the floor, screaming bloody murder as agony racked their entire body.

"As for you-" When the maniac turned her way, Jessica couldn't deny that a tinge of fear went through her. Who knew what was on his mind?

"Follow me. Your wise decisions have granted you some vip access." As he walked towards the door, she breathed a sigh of relief and followed after him quickly.

Though, as she passed by the poor souls with bloodshot eyes and hoarse wails, a flash of mockery could be seen as she looked down on them.

"I tried to warn you. This is what you get for being morons."

Soon, Jessica found herself within another apartment down the hall. It was mostly clean, save for the spot of blood here and there.

"Here's your new private home. I'll come by tomorrow morning to deliver you food and anything else you need. Let me remind you, don't try to escape or you won't live very long. Not to mention me, but there's hundreds of others in the building that want to strip your meat off and eat it." His words sent a slight chill down her spine, but she shook it off.

"Can I ask you something?" Jason was a little shocked. Still, he found her amusing so he indulged her.

"Go ahead. Shoot for the stars."

"Why are you keeping us here? What's your plan for us?" Jessica thought she might be pushing her luck in asking these questions, however she was dying to know.

"For training my dog. I want her to not attack healthy humans without my command. But it's really opened my eyes at my lack of true control over the infected." He sighed, shaking his head.

"My plan for you though? Experiment on you for something I have in store for someone I care about." Her heart skipped a beat, but soon calmed down at his next words.

"Don't worry though, I'll save you for last after working through the others. I'll probably get the, formula so to speak, down by then. Anyway, I got something else to go do. See ya." He waved his hand and closed the door behind him, leaving Jessica standing there.

"Holy fuck he's strange. Insane even." A thoughtful look appeared on her face.

"He's hot though."
