OU+LAST II DLC N•2 Corpus Christi
It was a quiet evening. Ethan was gathering wood and basic supplies, Anna was doing her hair in the house. Marc was sitting down on the porch and looking up at the sky on a rocking chair. Everything seemed as calm as day. Nothing foretold the events that were to come.
- Boy, don’t you mind helping me out in here? - said Ethan trying to finish the chore.
Marc sighed.
- I’ve done so much already - he said.
Ethan frowned.
- But it would be a lotta faster, you know.
Marc rolled his eyes and said that god wanted it like this so it is.
Anna Lee was worrying in front of the mirror about what’s gonna happen to everyone. The visions were becoming more powerful with each week it seemed. It was starting to get very real, too real - and some of them could not take it.
Anna was thinking about the day her mother was cast away. The day she was ordered to go to the scalled camp. To those miscreants…
It was traumatizing for her. Not only did she grow up in a place which had enormous rigor, but her family seemed to be picked out one by one.
The cult leader, Knoth, slept with a lot of the townspeople. It was rumored that somebody must’ve spread the disease, but it was never talked about in detail.
People were scared of the scalled camp. Especially of its leaders, Laird and Nick, who were said to be insanity incarnate. Nobody really knew their origin, but some said they were sent in to Temple Gate as punishment for the sins of Zion.
She stopped combing her hair when she remembered the day the guards came up for her mother. There were two of them and Nick and Laird in black robes, demanding that she comes. Everybody was scared and her mother, Judy, wanted to ask for medicine or some time, but it was swiftly denied. Laird was a tyrant, really, and he treated Knoth’s word as god’s word. There was no space for questions. They took Judy away forcibly, and everyone tried to intervene, but Nick knocked Ethan out and they knew it was no good. Judy was finally sedated with some kind of substance and taken away to live among the scalled. Anna Lee was broken down.
She cried the whole night, but her tears brought nothing but memories. No day would be the same again. Not only was she broken, but she felt those visions becoming more horror. She felt so much pressure.
But the apocalypse came when a couple days later she heard Knoth summons her. She knew what was going to happen. Yet, she had that little hope that maybe it is about an update on her mother, about her being better. Anything would be fine.
She went to Knoth’s residence and her hope died. Knoth wanted fresh meat. There was never a choice.
She came back home in a state of shock. She didn’t have any emotions specifically. She went to sleep. She woke uo at night with terrible pain in her abdominal area. She felt like it could not be because of the intercourse, which was quite tender. The pain was coming from her head as well as her abdomen. It felt… different.
She woke up Ethan and said what happened. She also said that she was experiencing that pain. Ethan was in shock. He knew exactly what that was. It wasn’t because of the intercourse. A lot of women were compromised because of this. A lot of them killed. It was called “the enemy canal”. Knoth stated that if the pregnancy is unnaturally quick, and typically takes days or weeks, it is a clear sign that this is the way of the antichrist.
Nothing could be so powerful that it can take such short time to deliver. This is the power of the enemy. This evil must be executed. Banished. Vanished.
The townsfolk saw Anna Lee carrying and Knoth heard the word. He ordered that Ethan slits the belly and kills the child, no matter the consequence for the mother. Anna was just 15 and her boyfriend, Thomas, didn’t even know. Ethan thought about it, but could never do it. He decided to spin those idiots some stories, and allow her to escape. Anything would be better. They made a plan and Thomas and Anna ran away. Ethan and Marc orchestrated the events so that it looked like she went to a different place, where another escapee went last time something like that happened. But Martha, the vengeful angel, felt like something is off. She personally came to Ethan’s house to question him about Anna’s whereabouts. She asked where she really was, given her ominous nature, and she asked if maybe Anna ran away via the highway way.
This is where the townspeople were sent to get necessary stuff like medicine and other supplies. Ethan got stressed and Martha knew. She threatened him and said that god is watching him.
Martha and some other guards followed the trail that lead to the supply way. She traveled a couple miles, only to be struck with a vision. The visions made Anna and Thomas trip as well. They woke up after some time in another location, but it wasn’t too far to navigate. The area was flat sometimes and it wasn’t fully dark yet. There she was. They saw Martha.
They had to run. Martha would do anything to kill Anna and the enemy. Thomas told Anna that she must escape. Thomas fought Martha with a blade. He wanted to keep her away as long as possible. He threw the weapon at her and it hurt her face. She started chasing him into the trees.
Martha finally killed him, but she lost Anna. She was going to take her penance. She beat her pickaxe into the man’s chest and dragged him back to the village, muttering religious mantras.
Anna made it to a highway. She saw some lights away that she thought was a city. She fell down. She knew she had to go. She used her remaining strength to go and make it. She ultimately collapsed.
She was found by a hiker that was driving back from a trip. She was taken to a hospital and the staff tried to help her. The story was growing fast and a lot of reporters started gathering. There were Blake and Lynn from newstomorrow.net
They wanted to make this story.
Martha was dragging Thomas and spit on him. She took him to the abbatoir and hanged him up, unconscious.
Marc was staying home at that moment. They were all wondering if they made it. The tension was very intense. Marc said that he was gonna take a walk. He went up to the mountain and saw something
