104 Chapter 104: The Undead

Jasmin and Avery were surprised when they found out that Emy could see Vanir’s past life. They decided that maybe she was looking for his son and that she ate people so that her baby could go back to her stomach. Devin laughed harder, but he didn’t say anything about his role in why Elijah was destroyed or what he saw in the operating room.

Reed walked away from the girls, and Devin immediately followed him. They each have a glass of wine.

“Do you think I won’t stop Emy just because you married her?” Devin said laughing.

“Of course not.” Reed said, giving Devin a glance. “I got married because she wanted reassurance.”

“And do you think marrying her with fake papers will change the fact that you still don’t feel the love for her that she wanted from the start?”

“What do you think you know about love?” Reed asked. “You’re a demon, and just like me, you don’t know what love is.”

“What if I told you I already know what love is?”

“You’re crazy.”

“Emy verifies it.”

.....

“Is it true? You think I’m going to believe you?

Devin laughed, and then he turned his back on Reed and went back to the group of girls. Devin sat next to Jasmin. Reed watched them while sipping wine. It looks like Devin is going to be a big problem for him.



There are children playing in a public cemetery. Children from the nearby squatters area love to hang out there.

“Have you ever captured a spider?”

“None yet...”

The light from the children’s torches can be seen. They like to play with the spider, which has become a popular activity for kids and even a bet for adults. They turned around when they heard a strange growling in the distance.

“What’s it?”

“It could just be a dog.”

“Most likely not.”

“You’re just scaring yourself.”

They heard a growling sound again, and it was getting closer to where they were.

“Scary, it doesn’t sound like a dog.”

They pointed the light at the place where the noise was coming from. They were surprised to see a man, whose clothes were dirty. There is blood on his stomach and chest, and he smells bad. Children screamed and ran away quickly.





They were headed home with Jasmin and Avery. Reed drove the two to their apartment first. Reed and Emy went straight to their house after giving the two friends back. Once she got there, Becky finished Emy’s housework. Reed stayed in the living room while he went right to the bathroom in their room.

Emy kept staring at herself in the mirror in their room. She just finished taking a shower and getting dressed. She held her stomach whiles he held the bottle of pills he got from the cabinet. She doesn’t know if she should keep taking pills now that she and Reed are married. She inhaled deeply. The bottle was opened, and a pill was taken.

Meanwhile, Reed was sitting on the couch and watching the news. That’s about the dead bodies that were found in the backs of broken buses at the old terminal. The bodies that were found were those of people who had been eaten by the Vanir. There were missing children, and the police found them empty. The police thought that a crime syndicate was involved in the boy’s disappearance and death.

Emy sat next to Reed, who was leaning on the armrest and had one of his legs up on the sofa. Emy’s body moved in between them and put her back on Reed’s chest. Reed hugged Emy’s body. He put his face to Emy’s neck.

“Hmm, my wife smells so seductive.” Reed said something quietly while kissing Emy’s neck.

Emy said, “Reed.”

“Hmmm, my queen?”

“Do you want us to have a baby?” Emy asked.

“Of course. From the beginning, I told you I wanted to have a child with you...”

Emy didn’t answer, and Reed noticed that she suddenly stopped talking.

“Is something wrong, my queen?” Reed asked.

“I want to talk to you about something.” Emy said.

“All right, I’m listening... what is it?”

“I’m taking pills...” Emy said.

“Pills?” Reed frowned

“Yes, it’s a pregnancy pill that keeps a woman from getting pregnant. I’ve been taking it since after we had s*x.”

Reed was shocked. He didn’t know Emy was taking pills. So, even if they have sex more than once a day, he send all of his sperm into her womb she didn’t get pregnant.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not ready just yet...”

“Are we safe?” Reed asked about the pills that Emy was taking.

Emy nodded. “I would like you to come with me to the hospital tomorrow.”

“What? Why?” Reed said in shock.

“I want you to know about a woman who is just like me. Exactly what we should do.”

“Okay. If that’s what you’d like.” Reed said.

“Aren’t you mad that I don’t want to have children?”

Reed had a chuckle. “Why should I get mad? As long as you are mine, we have a chance to have children. If you’re not ready, that’s OK with me.”

Emy turned toward Reed. “Oh, hubby...” Emy dangled her hand around Reed’s neck, making him kiss her.

Reed responded when Emy kissed him. He left Emy behind, set her down on the sofa, and then lay down on top of her on the sofa.

Reed took both of Emy’s hands, raised them above her head, and passionately kissed her lips. He doesn’t mind if Emy doesn’t want them to have children as long as Emy is only his and no one else takes her away. He is still enjoying the fact that Emy pays all of her attention to him instead of his brothers and father.



When the children left, a man was sitting on top of the grave. He held his stomach in. He was hurt there and on his chest as well. The man turned around when he heard the noise coming toward where he was. He went into hiding right away and waited until the men came closer.

He saw two drunk men walking. “Kids said there are zombies here,” said the drunk one.

The drunk two people laughed. “Those kids believe in zombies?”

“Maybe those kids thought they could trick us because we were drunk.”

The man slowly walked out and confronted the two drunken men. They kept staring at the man in front of them. They turned the light on the man’s face and saw his eyes and the hole in his back.

“Am I really so drunk? I see a zombie...”

“It’s not just you. It’s like I’m drunk because I can see the zombie in front of us.”

The two drunk guys were surprised when the man grabbed their necks and lifted them off the ground. Their feet were dangling while that man choked them. The man threw the other man, who hit a grave and fell down. The drunk grabbed something he could use to hit the man, and when he saw a piece of wood, he hit it on the man’s head right away. Instead of knocking him down, he just looked at him and pushed him away, causing his body to fall to the ground again. The man looked at the drunk in his hand, grabbed one of his hands, and lifted his arm. The drunk guy thought he was going to cut off the man’s arm, but when he bit the man’s arm, he was surprised.

The man’s eyes got big when he saw what was done to his bed. He screamed loudly, especially when he saw how his flesh was being cut away from his body. The man who was thrown by the person in the distance also screamed loudly.

After biting the arm of the man he was holding, the man put the man on top of the grave, lifted the clothes, and then bit the man in the stomach.

The drunk went straight to the barangay and told the guards what he had seen, but the guards did not believe him.

“How can we believe you if you’re drunk again. You drink all the time.”

“Where did you leave your partner again? In the cemetery again?”

“I am telling the truth,” said the man. “The zombie bit Luster’s arm, I can see it with my own eyes,”

The guards all laughed. “That makes us suspicious because you can’t really look at us properly.”

“Get home...”

“But I am telling the truth...”

“Go home before I throw you in jail here in the barangay.”

A man stood up. “I’m going home... good night friends.”

The barangay guards looked at each other and then watched the man leave the barangay hall. “Don’t you think we should check? Perhaps where he left Luster,” one guard said.

“Okay, just go and check. Maybe it will sleep again in the empty tomb.”



The two questions laughed and hurried off. Since the cemetery is close by, almost behind the barangay hall, the two guards were able to get to the cemetery quickly.

They were walking well, and everything was quiet around them. When they turned on the lights around the cemetery, they didn’t see anything strange. However, when they heard a strange growl in the distance, they got scared. Both guards looked at each other and then kept walking. After taking a few more steps, they got to the middle and saw the drop of blood on the ground. They followed the light from the flashlight until it led them to the top of the grave. There, they saw a man’s body with no covering and his stomach and neck cut open. The two barangay guards ran away quickly and told the police what had happened.
