Chapter 25

Roshans ears picked up something from about a mile away. It sounded like a scream but because of the distance it came out as a faint cry.

And soon more voices joined the screams getting louder and louder. Zimri shot up from his seat.

"I'll head north, you take the town", Roshan said disappearing before Zimri could reply.

Running at an inhuman speed not that he was human....He moved towards were he heard the first sound. As it turned out, the sound came from a cabin at the outskirts of the town.

Newly done laundry hung on slender ropes outside but lying just underneath them was a pool of blood which trickled down the shallow slope.

Roshans sensitive ears could still pick up a heart beat two really but something was odd about one. It broke in rhythm sounding like 3 beats in one. Forcing the door open shattering its locks, shards of glass from the broken window littered the floor suggesting that something was definitely in this house and it wasn't welcome either.

Making his way into the only room, he could finally see it, a human-like figureplp crouched in front of a frightened middle aged woman who was trying to hang on. Deep cuts showed from her limbs and it was no mistake where the blood outside had come from.

The human figure looked at Roshan and its most prominent feature, its starved red eyes shone in the dimly lit room.

A RAGER !! Roshan shouted in his head in shock.

Jumping quickly into the scenario coming out of shock, Roshan ran across the room in a simple stride.

Forming a fist he punched it sending its body and head flying in opposite directions.

This is not good..., Roshan thought helping the woman from the floor who seemed to be in oughta disbelief.

How did you...., she said weakly.

Shaking her head, she bowed down her temple touching the floor lifting it up and repeating the motion many times weakly.

"Thank you, thank you", she said over and over again.

Lifting her up from the ground, Roshans mind was in disarray.

how did they get here...

If a Rager is in this city, then there's bound to be more and there was even something more concerning, Ian !!

Rushing back to the main city though he was interrupted with stops along the way rescuing people in danger and moving to the nearest crime scene immediately, he soon found his way to Zimri who was with Kael and Dorrien both having black blood stained on their clothes.

Soon all of them were facing one direction, footsteps re-echoed sounding like a stampede and finally the cause of the whole commotion came into view.

Ragers in their hundreds ran into the city most of them trampling over the other.

"What are we going to do", Dorrien said taking a fighting stance.

"You two find Ian, I'm sure where ever he is he has a much bigger problem", Roshan replied.

"They picked the wrong town", Roshan said his smile back on his face.

Kael and Dorrien nodded running in the direction of Ian leaving Roshan and Zimri.

"Will they be okay?", Kael said as the ran.

"Trust me , they'll be fine", Dorrien answered smirking.

Roshan turned towards Zimri rolling his sleeves.

"You better not be rusty now", Roshan said smirking.

Running forward, Zimri swung his hand at a fast speed and the heads of all the Ragers in the first row came falling down.

"Watch me", he said grinning.

Dorrien and Kael ran through the reserve and were greeted by torn limbs shredded in all directions in their multitudes, pools of black blood all over the ground.

Taking a closer look, they could see Ian currently ripping the head of one right off while detaching the limbs from another sending it crashing into ten others with full force.

"And here we thought we had it bad", Kael said smiling.

"First to finish? Dorrien said taking a fighting stance shoving his foot deeper into the ground.

"Hell yeah !! Kael exclaimed upbeat.

"Try to keep up", Ian said walking towards them giving them a formation of a triad, backs towards each other.

"I already have a head start", he said grinning.
