《Low Tide \ JJ Maybank》Ch 11
Advertisement
The sound of a car horn catches my attention. I was hanging out behind Heyward's with Pope and JJ. JJ was smoking while Pope was working on something. I lean against the wall next to JJ. He blows a cloud of smoke out. I cough, choking on it. I take the vape pen out of his hand and pocket it before walking toward my brother in the van.
"Hey!" JJ yells chasing after me.
"This better be good." Pope says following.
We drive to the Wreck to get Kiara.
"Go get her, P." I tell him.
"Why me?" He asks looking up at me.
"You like her."
"How does that correlate?" He asks again.
"Bye!" I yell out as gets out of the car.
He disappears inside.
"So what did you guys do earlier while we were in the lighthouse?" My brother asks.
"Uhh.." JJ hesitates.
"We sat in the van and waited for you. Then the cops came so we booked it. I dropped the van off and picked up my Jeep. So I'll need to get that later."
Pope pops out the front door. "She said she's not coming."
"Why not?" JJ asks. "What did you do to her John B?"
"Shit. Hang on, I'll deal with it." John B says.
Before he can get out of the car, I'm walking up to the restaurant to talk to Kie. I knew my brother had done something dumb and she probably didn't want to talk to him.
I walk into the restaurant and find Kie spackling a wall.
"Hey, Kie."
"Hey, Kat, I'm just not interested right now." She tells me.
"Okay, I know my brother is being ridiculous right now, but we're in this together. You have to come. I know it's pointless."
"Is he still concocting?" She asks walking away.

I follow after her. "Of course he is, that's what he does."
"Kat.."
"Kie, what happened between you two?" I ask grabbing her hand.
"John B kissed me and I rejected him."
"Well good." I say. Thank god. "Kie, come on. It's stupid, I know. I'm not a fan either, but we can't leave him behind, okay?"
"Okay, fine. But I'm doing this for you, because I don't wanna listen to your begging."
"Good!" I say smiling. "Come on." She rolls her eyes with a smile.
We walk back outside and get in the van, ready to actually go this time.
"Kat works her magic again." Pope states shaking his head at me.
"JB, you're back in the friend zone." I announce to my brother.
He laughs. "Okay."
John B starts the car again and heads down the road. As he drives it gets dark outside. I was starting to get sleepy.
"You mind if I just relax on this one?" JJ asks. "It's been a long day, and a lot of weird stuff's gone down. I'm just gonna lay low." A look of concern crosses my face as I look at him. He notices and tries to hand me the cigarette in his hand. "Oh, did you want a hit of this?" I give him a look saying obviously not.
"Look, I know I was wrong about the lighthouse. And about everything else going on. But I was right about one thing. Okay? My dad is trying to tell me something."
John B pulls up outside the gate of a cemetery. It was dark, and honestly terrifying. We start to get out of the car but I stay back, nervous.
"Hey, come on." John B says.
"This place is scary." Kie peers into the cemetery.
Pope grabs my hand to comfort me and pulls me with him. I walk very close to him as we wander into the graveyard.

"John B, what are we doing?" Kie asks nervously.
"Shut up!" He demands. "You know how you're trying to remember a song but you can't remember who sings it?"
"Yeah."
"So, Redfield. This whole time, I thought it was a place, right? But it's not a place."
I suddenly realize what he was talking about. "It's a last name." I say.
"Right." He hold the lantern up to a giant tomb. The last name is written across the top. "See, our great-great-grandmother Olivia Redfield."
"Redfield was her maiden name." I look up at the tomb again.
John B analyzes the tomb. "Help me with the door. Come on."
Pope steps forward to help. "All right."
"One, two, three.." They push on the door, trying to get it open.
"Are you pushing?" Pope asks.
"Yeah, I'm pushing."
"Come on."
When the door doesn't budge, JJ joins. "Hold on, I got it."
"This door is like 700 pounds, it's not gonna budge." Pope says.
"We didn't get this far to get this far, all right?" JJ say seriously. "We got this."
A snake crawls out, scaring us all. I let out a scream jumping away. The boys all stumble away from the door.
"Woah, woah, woah!" Pope yells, scared.
"That's a moccasin, all right." JJ informs us. "Ye old Dr. Cottonmouth. Death in tall grass." JJ begins to bark at the snake.
"JJ, shut up. Shut up!" Kie demands
"You're gonna wake the fricken dead, man." Pope says.
"They're afraid of dogs. Everyone knows that. Wait, hold on, hold on. If there's one, there's probably dozens."
"Stop," Kie begs. "You're scaring me."
JJ begins to bark again.
"J, shut the hell up." I say.
"Just making sure it's clear."
"Shut up, shut up." Pope orders. "John, look. We're not getting in there, all right? It's not budging. "We should probably just go."
Kie shines her flashlight at the tomb. "I can get through." She notices.
"What?" John B asks. "No, no, no, no. You think you're gonna fit through that hole?"
"Look, this is about your dad. And honestly I don't really believe it but you deserve to know the truth. Kat does too. I'll do it."
"No." John B says again.
"I'll go with her." I state.
"Okay." JB says.
"Absolutely not." JJ denies.
"JJ, please." I beg.
He shakes his head staying quiet but I knew he wasn't gonna try to stop me. "I'll get those." He says pulling the old vines away.
John B and Pope hold the vines back while JJ gets ready to boost us inside.
"I'm gonna boost you, all right. I've seen it in the movies several times. Ready?"
"Yeah." I say stepping onto his hands.
"Please be careful, Kat." JJ says seriously.
"Remind me what we're looking for." Kie mutters.
"You'll know when you see it." John B says.
"Helpful." I mumble sliding through the hole. Kie drops in next to me a few seconds later.
"Okay, flashlight?" Kie asks.
"Yeah, here." Pope hands one down to us.
We start to shine the flashlights around the room, looking for anything.
"You guys alive? You got, like, a- a heartbeat and everything?"
"Yes, John B. We have a fucking heart beat." I retort.
"Good, that's good."
"Uh, we need some more light." Kie tells our friends.
"Yeah, here, I got it." My brother hands down another lantern to us.
"Ooh, yeah. That's better, thank you." I say.
Kie stares at something, catching my attention.
"Find anything?" JJ asks. "Is there gold?"
"Oh my god." Kie mumbles. I was too shocked to say anything.

Young bloods (WIP)
" So-called leaders prostituted their people to wars and abuse. They destroyed families, culture and economies; their hands dyed red by the blood of the children, the families trampled by their lecherous motivations and diabolical war machines. Trained and taught by the Revenants or rather “young bloods” from their war-torn world, we were going to build a better world for us and for the later generations, a world when there shall be no more wars waged over territory, a world where boys and girls can frolic around for all of eternity." -Sasha, Terutan regular army cadet. ‘History is determined by the victors, and here we stand transcended over those who abused us. History is filled with liars, broken promises of eternal prosperity and peace. The more things change, the more things stayed the same: ideology change, location shift but power will always find a place to rest its head. We fought and bled for the adults, the grown men and women who preached of us being their future, preached us of the freedom from tyranny and slavery; no wonder why we hated them so. History is determined by the victor, and there shall be no victors when we’re done.’- Yulia Bronskavya, Red Army Homeguard. As the first modern war came to a close in November 1st, 1918, rows of passed juveniles laid the battlefields. In the name of some royal fat cats or some shitty national leader, cruelty and crimes were committed against the weak and the vulnerable younglings; in other words, adults were assholes. Their deaths marked a new beginning, a new beginning in a strange and magical land that was and had only been dreamt of in stories and folk tale, they had arrived to Terruta. The first ones regarded themselves as Revenants, heroes who had been able to be reborn in this world and began their adventure to explore this strange foreign land. However, “every coin have two sides, like everyone have two faces”. 'As they left their former life behind, the young soldiers and operators found themselves being deceived, abused and taken advantaged off again by the elders of this world. Many were abused, tortured, raped and sold to slavery, Revenants were quite sought after due to their timeless charm, strength, intellect and immortality, they were unable to be killed no matter what; many were bought and used as pets, slaves and entertainers for their masters’ entertainment. Fed up with the similar treatment and abuse by the adults of this world, many revolted and founded ICC, International Cooperative Coalition.'-Sasaki Kotegawa, JSDF Private.

The Eye in the Sky
People have always thought that the undead would come from hell - that they would rise from their graves to bring their torments upon the earth. They never thought that they would come from the heavens instead and rain upon the world like divine judgment. Ten years had passed since that day. Evan had thought that he had seen all there is to see. What remained of civilized society couldn't recover. Millions of zombies wandered in every city, and thousands more roam the countryside. Every day was a struggle to survive just as it had always been. He, as well as most of the survivors that remained on earth, had resigned themselves to a life of wandering until their deaths. Their last hope was news of an underground settlement being constructed to the far west, outside the eyes of the wandering and falling undead. But then they encounter a girl who had survived in the middle of a heavily-infested city. She claims that she knows of a way to end the apocalypse once and for all. What should he and his group do?
