  He looks up and can see Elizabeth being held hostage by a pale man. He is clutching her she cannot escape.

  “Well Adrian, The notorious Vampire Hunter. Hmm, we finally meet,” he says.

  Adrian raises and points his silver pistol at him. “No no no, I will bite her and suck her blood,” says the man. He shows his teeth hissing and Adrian can clearly see fangs.

  “Adrian please!” yells Elizabeth. “You shall surrender your weapon and Elizabeth will not be harmed,” he says. Suddenly a dozen other vampires appear to step from the darkness into view. They stand and watch from behind the man holding her hostage.

  Adrian raises his hand and drops the pistol to the ground. The other vampires walk up to him and cuff him from behind by his hands.

  They escort him along with Elizabeth to another room.

  “Welcome to the underground. Your the first human to come here,” says the pale man. They kick away the solver pistol.

  PRISONER

  Adrian and Elizabeth are being held in a dungeon somewhere underground the streets of London. They can see down the hallway are flames lighting a large chamber. A crowd of vampires are beginning to congregate inside where there is a wooden stage.

  It appears they are preparing for a ritual. In the dungeon they can see other humans are inside the cells.

  Humans kidnapped or tricked and taken away. There is a table on the stage designed to pool blood into a barrel below. A couple vampires walk over and open a cell pulling out a female human. She screams and shouts. They pull her and drag her to the stage. The crowd steps back making a path in the center to the human.

  They take the human to the stage and strap her hands, ankles and neck to the table with cuffs holding her down. She is squirming trying to escape.

  “Vampires, my fellow vampires join me on this feast tonight!” says the vampire priest. He takes out a knife and makes several cuts in her body.

  The human is screaming in agony. The blood pours out and pools through the table going through several pipes into a barrel. The young lady quickly dies on the table.

  “We have increased in numbers. This first human sacrifice marks our first step in overtaking the city of London. London will not be city of humans, but for Vampires! We will not longer hide in the dark afraid of them, they will be afraid of us! The war has begun!” says the vampire priest.

  Adrian and Elizabeth look at each other. He can see the vampire guard with a key on his belt pacing back and forth in the dungeon.

  Elizabeth uses her sexy persuasion to distract the guard. “Guard!”

  “I would love to give you a taste of me, I’m quite sweet,” she says.

  The guard stops and walks over to her cell. “Get close, get closer,” she says. She reveals her neck to him and he licks his lips. The guard takes the key and opens her cell. He walks towards her and she steps back slowly playing with him.

  “You have to come get me,” she says. The guard laughs and he walks slowly towards her. The guard reaches his hands out to grab her and she kicks him, grabs the key off his belt and runs out the cell. She slams the cell door shut. She unlocks Adrian’s cell and he gets out. She unlocks the other cells holding the humans hostage.

  ESCAPE

  Adrian was stripped away of his gadgets and weapon on his belt. His belt is missing. However he has a secret stake in his shoe. He taps his heel and a stake is sprung out from the sole.

  “Let’s stop them,” he whispers to Elizabeth. They hide in the darkness and can see the vampires drinking and feasting on blood. Another guard walks over to grab another human for sacrifice. Adrian sneaks from behind and stabs the vampire guard in it’s chest. The body of the vampire quickly vaporizes into dust.

  The human hostages are escaping to the surface through the maze of underground tunnels.

  Adrian sneaks on to a few other vampire guards and takes them out with the stake.

  “How are we going to stop them here? There are simply too many,” says Elizabeth.

  “There’s a metal refinery on the other side of London,” says Adrian.

  They escape with the other humans. They head out seeing light.

  PLAN B

  Adrian and Elizabeth know the vampire plan is pending soon. Vampires want to take over the city of London. Rampaging thought the streets at night feeding on the innocent. They are in Adrians flat planning their next move. Looking over a map. Vampires are on the hunt for them so they know they can’t stay long before someone picks up their trail. Word is that the vampires have sent an army in search of him and will kill him at all cost.

  Adrian wants to use that to is advantage. “I can bait them to the refinery, we need to set a trap,” says Adrian. “What can we do?” says Elizabeth.

  “I will draw attention to myself, board my speed boat and get to the refinery. They have plenty of silver. We can draw them under this area here. You will push this button to drop the molten silver on them,” says Adrian. Elizabeth nods. They now have a plan. “Do we have a plan B?” ask Elizabeth.

  “No, this is the best plan we got,” says Adrian.

  BATTLE

  The trap has been set. Elizabeth awaits at the refinery. Adrian is hanging around the pub where the vampires like to sneak backdoors to the underground. A vampire spots him and is watching him. The vampire talks to another vampire next to him and points at Adrian.

  Adrian start walking quickly and the vampires follow behind him. Adrian looks behind him again and notices a dozen vampires are following him now. He bobs and weaves through the crowd trying to keep a distance. Adrian pulls out the controller and presses a knob and a few buttons. He is running towards the dock on the river.

  The speed boat comes speeding in the water. Adrian begins running and the vampires begin running too. As the boat approaches he has to run faster. Some of the vampires begin exhibiting their special abilities. One jumps and leaps higher in the air then any human could. Adrian finally reaches the dock and leaps off rolling into the boat.

  The boat speeds off but a few vampires attempt to leap into the boat but miss and fall into the river. “Whoo!” Adrian yells. Adrian looks to the side on the land. He can see vampires running atop the roofs of the buildings following him. They move very fast quicker then a human could.

  They leap between roofs. More join in and now there are a dozen vampires leaping on top of the roofs following him. “Come get me!” yells Adrian. The vampires get more aggressive. The steam bellowing from the boat speeding at over 50 knots. A vampire appears to try to attempt to launch itself into his boat. He jumps but Adrian steers the wheel to the left dodging his attempt. The vampire falls into the river.

  Thump! Unbeknownst to Adrian a vampire has landed at the back of the boat. He turns to look around and can see the vampire trying to balance itself. Adrian grabs the silver revolver from his belt and aims for the back of the boat. He tries to get a good aim with the choppy movement of the boat moving.

  The vampire leaps forward and knocks the pistol out of his hand. It opens it mouth and attempts to bite into his neck. Adrian shoves it away.

  He taps his foot to spring out the stake from his shoe. The vampire hisses and attacks sprinting at him. Adrian throws up his arms to defend himself from getting bit.

  “Arggh!!” A struggle ensues and Adrian is trying with all his strength to get the vampire off of him. He is deadlocked holding the shoulder of the vampire away from his neck. A big wave hits and knocks the vampire down. Adrian quickly grabs the stake from his shoe in his right hand.

  He lunges at the vampire and stabs it in the chest. The body of the vampire quickly turns to dust.

  Adrian turns back to see what’s happening. The boat is about to hit a ramp in the river. The boat hits the ramp and flies into the air. Adrian leaps out catching a meal pole from a building. He grabs on and hangs there. The boat crashes into the water. He looks behind his shoulder and can seen the other vampires coming in his direction.

  He climbs himself into the window of the warehouse and
on solid ground. He is in the refinery on the second floor. Buckets of molten metal are passing over a conveyor belt pouring into cast. Elizabeth is on the other side of the warehouse waving. “Adrian! behind you!”

  Adrian looks behind and sees. a vampire coming through the window. He quickly runs. He jumps inside a big bucket where molten metal is about to be poured into. The vampires are climbing in rapidly. Their fangs exposed and their mouths chomping aggressively.

  “Adrian watch out!” yells Elizabeth. Up ahead he can see where molten metal is being poured. Elizabeth is looking for a control to stop the conveyor from pouring into his bucket.

  The vampires run aggressively up on all fours. Some magically crawling and running on the vertical walls. They stop when they sense the molten metal. They keep a distance.

  Now at the front main entrance of the warehouse are more vampires coming through. They bust down the door but keep a boundary staying away from the silver. The inside quickly fills with hungry vampires ready to take his blood.

  “Well well who do we have here?” It’s Victor the magician vampire walking in. “We meet again Adrian. All of these vampires are ready to take your blood. The vampire hunter is no match for all of us,” says Victor. He laughs.

  Elizabeth hits a button and the conveyor stops just before pouring molten metal inside of his bucket. The vampires notice Elizabeth turning their heads toward her watching her. They are hissing and displaying their fangs.

  “Why don’t you come? Forgot all of these vampires it’s just you and me Adrian,” says Victor. Adrian pulls out his hook gun and points it out. It pulls the trigger and it lift him out of the large bucket. He lift up his long coat to slow his decent to the ground. He kneels when he hits the ground.

  BURN

  Adrian stands in front of Victor. The other vampires watching. They stand man to vampire staring each other down. “Who will make the first move?” says Victor. “You will,” says Adrian. “Haha, very bad choice,” says Victor.

  Victor walks approaching Adrian then begins to run shouting. Adrian pulls out his hook gun and points it to the second floor where is Elizabeth is waiting. “Elizabeth hit it!” Adrian pulls the trigger and pulls himself up. Elizabeth hits the button and restarts the conveyor. All the buckets move turning over.

  The molten metal is silver. It pours below onto all the vampires. They turn to dust. Some try to escape. Adrian pulls out his silver gun and fires those escaping in the back. Victor is looking around confused. Adrian points his silver gun and fires. The bullet on a direct path for Victor Hugo’s head.

  The bullet goes though his forehead. His body quickly forms into dust.The dust blows away into the wind.

  Adrian and Elizabeth look at each other. Elizabeth jumps onto of Adrian kissing and hugging him. They have killed Victor and stopped the vampire apocalypse. London has been saved.

  The End.

  THE UNDEAD: APOCALYPSE

  By Lee Jones

  AT SEA

  Zac, Rochelle, Will and James have been at sea for weeks along with hundreds of other survivors. However the ship must dock at shore. It has run out of supplies and food and they cannot sustain for any longer at sea. The nuclear bomb has obliterated the city of Atlanta. Reports coming from around the country show that much of the world is in a pandemic. But a couple weeks ago the radio went silent.

  The doctor is getting much closer to developing a vaccine. However he is missing critical supplies and equipment to finish the job. The ship is docking in Virginia. They are hoping they can find food on shore.

  MISSION

  The ship docks. A specialized team is tasked with heading into town and locating stores of food. Navy SEALs, outfitted in mission gear disembark the ship. The area surrounding the dock seems abandoned. They walk through the area looking for signs of life.

  There is an abandoned pickup truck with the keys still inside. “Check this out it still has the keys,” says the chief petty officer. He turns the key and the truck starts. Both SEALs get in the driver side and shot gun. The others hop in the bed of the truck. The chief drives the truck bumping over debris.

  “Most places have probably been looted,” says the petty officer.

  “We need to look,” says the chief. They drive through the streets looking around. The city is abandoned, debris and abandoned cars fill the streets.

  They steer around the best they can. Up ahead is a shopping center about two miles from the dock..

  It’s a supermarket. They can see shopping carts in the parking lot everywhere. The windows are broken into. “Chief up ahead,” points out the petty officer. He drives up and parks the truck. “We need to clear the area before we load the truck up with supplies,” says Chief. Chief picks up his radio and speaks, “We’ve located a possible location for food supplies. We are about two miles north of the dock where there is a large shopping center.”

  “Ten four,” a reply is heard over the radio. The SEALs in the back get out and head inside the shop. They turn on their flashlights and shine it around inside.

  AMBUSH

  “Did you hear that?” says Petty Officer over the radio. ‘What?” says Chief. “We could have tangos in here,” says Petty Officer.

  “Clear!” “Clear!” are heard over the radio as each SEAL clears an area or room.

  “We do have tangos, holy shit! look behind you six o clock,” says Petty Officer.

  In front of them is a horde of infected. So many you can’t even see asphalt in the parking lot. They are approaching the SEAL team in the super market.

  “We need backup!” the Chief calls over the radio.

  “Fire!” he yells. The team quickly takes cover behind shelves and begins firing. The sound of gun fire making the infected making them more aggressive and run quickly towards them. They fire on automatic with their assault rifles taking on several infected. Their bodies stumble to the ground. But the horde is too much they can’t simply stop all of them.

  “Hold your ground!” yells the Chief. The bridge on the ship gets the radio signal. The broadcast fizzles in and out. “We need backup!”

  Then several shots are heard over the radio. “That’s not good,” says the captain of the ship.

  He is listening with the other officers of the ship and Zac, Rochelle, James and Will are there too. “Chief! Chief! Can you hear me!?” yells the Captain over the radio. The captain looks up and shakes his head.

  “I think we could of lost our boys out there,”says the Captain.

  "We will go!” says Rochelle. “Excuse me?” says the Captain.

  “We volunteer to go to search for more food and supplies, we know it’s dangerous and we are willing to risk our lives, ” says Rochelle.

  The captain looks in her eyes for a moment then nods his head.

  “Fine, we can supply your weapons, we will not send backup godspeed to you all,” says the Captain.

  BACKUP PLAN

  The whole gang is on the dock suited up with vest assault rifles, ammo and backpacks. “Alright so we are heading to the last location of the SEALs?” says Will. “We need to find a vehicle first,” says Rochelle.

  They pretty much follow the path of the of the SEALs. “They must of came through here,” says James. “Check for working vehicles,” says Zac. They come across an SUV. Zac lifts up the hood. It’s got gas and it seems to be in working condition but the battery is dead.

  “Give me that.” Rochelle hands Zac a battery jump starter. He attaches the leads to the car battery. “Ok start it,” he says.

  Rochelle turns the key and the car hesitates but it starts.

  They get in and drive off. Driving through the streets of the city they can see the extent of the damage.

  Atlanta was bad and now seeing this city is upsetting. “Jesus just what the hell?” says James. “Ok the SEALs were last seen at this position on the map,”says Zac pointing to a location on the map.

  He slams on the gas and drives through the street dodging debris and abandoned vehicles. They come
to the same supermarket shopping center from the last known location of the SEALs.

  “This is their last known location, they found food supplies here,” says Zac. “It appears there are no infected should be safe to head inside,” says Rochelle. They pull the car up and Zac gets out in the parking lot. The can see the truck of the SEALs.

  Zac steps inside,” Anybody here!?” He turns around and signals to everyone else it’s safe to come in. “We still got canned goods, can’t go wrong with ramen noodles,” says Zac.
