《Apocalyptic Invasion》Chapter 3: Leaving (II)

He turned to the girl, who was looking at him with a hopeful gaze. The disappointment on her face was clear when she did not receive a response.
‘You can come, but I am not responsible for you. Bring as much canned food and water bottles as you like, and wear something that covers all of your skin.’"
“Thank you. Please come inside while I pack the stuff,” she said to him as she nodded.
He thought for a while, nodded, and stepped inside the flat to see the body of an old man on the floor, with his head, burst open after being hit by the baseball bat held by that girl.
The house has been turned upside down. He was looking at the house when the girl came back in full-sleeved clothing.
Before, her hair was tangled, and tears stained her face. Now that he had a look at her, he thought she was a pretty girl, with brown hair, deep black eyes, and an oval face.
His gaze was fixed on the direction of the corpse when he asked, “Who was he?”.
A slow stream of tears started flowing from her eyes as she slowly looked at the body and said, “He was my father.”
“Anyway, have you packed everything?” he asked after a moment of silence.
She nodded and touched the bag she held in her hands. Keeping the bat in her hands while wearing the bag, she quickly said, “I am ready”.
“Follow me quietly, don’t make any noise”, he gestured, and then he walked out the Door.
His eyes were drawn to the body of the undead he had killed before, but there was no one else outside. ‘Follow me,’ he signaled her, and they headed toward the stairs.

They successfully reached the first floor. When he peeked into the corridor to ensure everything was clear, he was shocked for a moment to find three undead in the corridor, feasting on a dead body and making some awful sounds.
After signaling to the girl to keep quiet, he whispered in her ear.
“Follow me quietly, there are three undead here.” He started moving down when the undead were busy eating.
After they had just gone down the stairs, one of the undead turned around to see an empty corridor and stood up, then walked towards the stairs.
When the couple reached the ground floor, the man took a deep breath and turned back to look at the girl with a smile.
A moment later, his smile disappeared, and he aimed his gun at her and fired.
“AAHHHHH..mmmmmmmmmm” She screamed but was immediately surprised to find the man’s hands covered that her mouth.
“Why the fuck are you screaming?” he whispered and dragged her towards the basement parking.
It was then that she saw the undead lying on the stairs with blood flowing from its head.
A swarm of undead approached the apartment as her scream echoed around the area.
While running towards his Hummer, he kept his eyes peeled around the area to see if there were any undead. He was fortunate that there was no undead in the parking lot.
While he dashed to his black Hummer, he tossed his backpack into the back of the vehicle and started the engine.
Upon boarding, the girl tossed her bag in the back and climbed into the passenger seat.
He spotted the undead as soon as he started his vehicle.
After stepping on the accelerator, he moved the Hummer towards the exit.
He mowed down many undead on the way. As the girl sat on the passenger seat, she clutched her seat tightly and was holding her breath as her heart was pumping very fast, since this was the first time she had seen anything like this.

He started moving in one direction as soon as the vehicle hit the road.
In front of him, he was viewing a scene straight out of an apocalyptic movie. He saw many undead swarming towards his Hummer. Many of the vehicles were wrecked and the dead bodies were ripped apart.
After mowing down many bodies, his Hummer was soaked in blood. He soon started his viper and traveled towards his destination.

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.
