The Complete Creeping Darkness

by Greyson, Quinn

  Peter spotted Lee behind him, hiding, waiting for his signal.

  “Okay, you’re right, I’m going,” he said and nodded his head and turned, heading for the door.

  “Aren’t you scared here all by yourself?” Peter asked fishing to see if there was anyone else here.

  “Hell no, so many of you rich kids around here, it’ll keep me in business for a long time.”

  “What do you mean? Not that I’m being nosey, I’m just thinking maybe we can come to another arrangement to get my package is all.”

  Peter turned and studied the man’s face. He looked like he’d gone to hell and back, wasn’t sure if it was the current situation, or just his life. But he looked like someone that liked this new world more than the old one.

  “The kids from Yale have started trading with me. I was pretty short on food.”

  “Like what?”

  “Things kid, I trade things for food. Or girls if you got them.”

  “Sorry, no girls.”

  Peter heard a faint scream.

  “Did you hear that? Is that one of those girls?” Peter asked, turning around, realizing things were going to go bad here.

  “Listen kid, I’m being damn generous to you. I’ve done a lot of bad things and if I have to do one more, I’m willing to do it,” he said.

  “I’m sure you are. Do it!”

  “What?”

  Another scream, a certain cry of anguish.

  “Do it!” Peter yelled.

  Lee dropped down from behind the man and grabbed his gun hand and kicked his legs out from underneath him, easily tearing the gun away. The man reached for a concealed gun.

  “Son of a bitch,” Peter said as he grabbed the man’s head and kneed him hard in the face. The man fell clutching his broken, bleeding nose. He pulled out a knife.

  “What the hell is that? Is that a girl?” Lee asked.

  “Go to hell, you little prick!” the man spat at him.

  “Bringing a knife to a gun fight?” Lee asked and punched the man’s wrist and then smacked the man across the face, he went sprawling to the ground.

  “Thanks for the rescue,” Peter said to Lee.

  “No problem. Should we check that out?” Lee asked.

  “This better not turn into a horror movie,” Peter said looking at the bleeding man.

  Another scream.

  “Ha, a little too late for that kid.”

  “Come on!” Lee said, “He’s not going anywhere.”

  They walked through the dark warehouse towards the sounds of the screams, with their flashlights lighting the way. They came to a door.

  “Do people think with the way things are, its caret blanche on acting like a psycho?”

  Another scream.

  Peter kicked the door open, Lee went to the right and Peter went to the left with their guns drawn. The smell was horrible. They immediately saw a girl, barely dressed, in a cage crying. There was a freezer, two dead girls, little brown packages and a butcher’s knife.

  He realized that his horror movie fear was coming true.

  “Shit. Are you alright?” Peter asked the girl.

  Peter’s heart was pounding out of his chest, he was ready for a few things, but this was not one of them. Lee went straight to the cage. The girl screamed.

  “Hold on,” Lee said and pointed his gun at her, “Listen, we’re here to save you, we’re going to let you out, but if you attack us we’ll shoot you, do you understand?”

  She sobbed something that sounded like yes. “Thank God,” she muttered as Lee let her out.

  Peter trained his gun on her. She fell into Lee’s arms. Lee took off his jacket and wrapped it around her.

  “Jesus, what’s going on here?” Peter asked.

  She looked at him and closed her eyes.

  “We came here to trade some stuff. We didn’t have a lot of food, we had other stuff... well they did. He got mad, real mad. But there was food around if he looked for it, but he didn’t want to leave the building he said and attacked us. He killed my friend Leslie and then Payton. He knocked me out and I was in that cage. He was crazy. He started cutting them up…” she cried. “Every time someone comes here, he shoots them with tranquilizers and then… eats them.”

  “Seriously?” Lee asked repulsed, “No way.”

  Peter shook his head and took a deep breath which was a mistake he soon remembered.

  “God damn it, have we reverted to this already?”

  “Did you kill him?” she asked.

  “No, just wounded him.” Lee answered.

  “No! He has weapons everywhere!”

  She was right, the man burst into the room with a shotgun. Peter and Lee didn’t wait for an invitation and they fired immediately. He fell to the ground, still alive. Lee kicked the man’s guns away and stepped on his bleeding chest, training his gun on him.

  “What the hell were you thinking?” Lee asked.

  “I’m sorry…” he labored out, “I had no choice.”

  “You ate people,” He said quietly.

  “We have no meat left in the world, don’t you see that? We’re the only meat left, don’t you see? This is the future!”

  The half naked girl ran over with the knife and lodged it in the man’s chest. She sat there stabbing him. Peter looked over at Lee and smiled and shrugged.

  “Alright there stabby,” Peter said grabbing her, and roughly taking the knife from her shaking hands.

  “I’m sorry, I truly am, but he’s dead,” Peter told her, trying to calm her down. He handed her back to Lee.

  She nodded and calmed down seeing that the man was dead.

  “Was anyone with him?”

  She shook his head. “I don’t think so, but he was trading the packages with people from Yale. I wonder if they even questioned him about the missing girls or where the meat came from.”

  “What’s your name?” He asked.

  “Evelyn… Bradley. I went to Yale and I survived the attacks only to end up here. Just to get some weed,” she sobbed. “It’s so stupid and senseless.”

  “What a psycho,” Lee said. “Do you think he’s right that people are eating people?”

  Peter looked around and shrugged. “I know but we aren’t going to. God help them if they are.”

  Evelyn walked over to a locker where some clothes were.

  “I guess Payton won’t need this shit anymore,” she muttered.

  There was a shower area. Evelyn walked underneath the shower and stripped off her dirty clothes and ran the water over herself.

  Peter turned to Lee, trying to avert his eyes from the naked girl. “Come on, we should find your package.”

  “I did.”

  “And?”

  He nodded, “I told you, but you doubted me. I guess I should keep them all for myself.”

  “Shut up. Yes!” Peter said, something finally going right.

  “Where are you guys hiding?” Evelyn asked as she cleaned herself.

  “New Haven Bridge Collegiate,” Lee answered.

  “High school kids hey.”

  “ It’s not a high School, it’s a bridge to Yale, thank you. And we were just about to graduate!” Lee protested. “So really we’re like College kids, just without the college.”

  “Jesus when those creatures attacked us, we were partying. The whole school was. It was such easy picking. They just did what they wanted and took so many people away. When it was all said and done, it seemed like barely anyone made it back to Yale. But slowly people came to school asking for protection. We barricaded the doors and the campus the best we could, then it snowed, can you imagine snow this time of the year? So we thought we were safe and eventually more people came,” Evelyn explained.

  “So now what are you going to do?” Peter asked her.

  “Well I don’t know if I want to hang around a bunch of High School kids, no offense.”

  “Pre-college,” Lee reminded her.

  “Well you can go back to Yale, but things there
aren’t going to be so good soon enough,” Peter told her.

  “Yeah, why’s that?”

  “We’re enemies now. They killed ours, now we’re going to kill the ones responsible. Wouldn’t you like to do the same?”

  She looked at him. He tried not to stare at her naked body. She seemed comfortable enough around us, but when you’ve been through what she’s been through he was sure nudity was the least of her problems.

  “What do you mean?”

  “Well someone knew you were here, someone was getting meat from him. A friend perhaps, or an enemy?” Peter asked.

  She wrapped a towel around herself and sat down.

  “This guy Harrison. He sent us here. He’s a big acid head. Not a friend, not an enemy. He wouldn’t go, but he said it was safe enough.”

  “Well there you go, bastard set you up,” Lee declared.

  “Yeah, I guess he did. And Yale’s screwed up anyhow. We’re lucky we’re not all dead. It’s a smart school and I love it, don’t get me wrong. But… we’ve just so de-evolved. Infighting, no leadership. Everyone just does drugs and have sex.”

  “Well, it’s not like that at our place. You can join us, if you’re willing to help our war effort,” Peter offered.

  “Sure, why not.”

  “I wish we had more sex at our school,” Lee whispered.

  ”I’m sure you get plenty,” Peter said.

  He laughed and shook his head.

  “Let’s get the guns and get out of here. We’ll send some others and see what we can get out of this place. We might have to fight the Yalers though.”

  “We have fire power now!” Lee yelled, riled up.

  Lee showed Peter and Evelyn two crates. There were a lot of rifles and handguns and tons of ammo.

  “My father always gave me weapons, always! I learned to shoot when I was two. He knew something was going on and wanted me to be safe. He knew I’d have an army one day,” Lee said.

  “Manifest destiny hey. Thank God for your father. Let’s move.”

  Chapter 4

  Lee looked around his room as he showed it to Evelyn.

  “So yeah, this is my room,” Lee said looking around, kind of realizing how childish it really looked.

  “Huh, cool.”

  Evelyn shut the door.

  “I just wanted to tell you how appreciative I am that you rescued me. I know you probably have a girlfriend, but I want to show you how much I appreciate your bravery.”

  “Oh, well no problem.”

  “No, you don’t understand he would have killed me.”

  Evelyn reached out and grabbed Lee by the hips and pulled him close. She kissed him.

  “It’s kind of my job.”

  “Well let me repay you.”

  Evelyn wore a tight t-shirt and a pair of tight jeans. She ran her hands down to his crotch and rubbed him hard.

  Lee kissed at Evelyn’s neck and grabbed at her large breasts.

  He ran his hands down to her stomach and pushed her shirt up, grabbing at her bra.

  Evelyn pulled her shirt off and Lee pushed her bra down and licked at her tits.

  She rubbed Lee harder and went for his belt and started undoing it.

  Lee directed her over to the bed and finished taking off his pants and pulled Evelyn onto his lap, she had taken off her pants as well. She had on a thin pair of blue cotton panties.

  Lee licked at her tits as she sat on his lap, he positioned her to spread open her legs. He put his hands down her panties and started rubbing at her pussy.

  The kissed and Evelyn reached down Lee’s pants and rubbed at his cock.

  He lifted her up and turned her ass facing him and pulled down her panties. He spread open her pussy lips and finger fucked her.

  Evelyn moaned as Lee fingered her wet pussy.

  Lee pulled down his pants and started stroking his black dick as he kneaded her ass. He opened her ass cheeks and guided his dick into her. He started banging her hard.

  Evelyn leaned over and stretched as she let Lee fuck her pussy. She leaned up and added resistance as he fucked her hard. The sound of their skin whacking each other was loud.

  Evelyn moaned at the pleasure of it.

  Lee pulled his cock out and pushed her to the ground, she reached over and started sucking him.

  Lee pulled Evelyn’s hair and pushed her onto the bed, he grabbed her legs and pushed them back as he pulled her hips towards his dick and pushed his cock into her wt pussy and started banging her again.

  He picked up her legs and draped them over his shoulders.

  He hammered her pussy hard and pulled his cock out as he shot cum up to her breasts.

  Evelyn leaned over and put him in her mouth and sucked him off as he continued cumming.

  “Damn,” Lee said as he stood watching her suck his dick until it was limp.

  “If you need more you know where to find me ok?”

  “Yeah, for sure.”

  “Uhm can you show me where your friend’s room is?”

  “Who Peter?”

  “Yeah.”

  Chapter 5

  Peter heard a knock at the door and opened it. It was Lee and Evelyn.

  “Hi Peter,” Lee said and smiled at him, “Have fun.”

  “What?”

  Evelyn walked in the room.

  “Listen, I just wanted to thank you for what happened earlier.”

  “Oh, don’t worry about it.”

  “Well I have to. Listen I know what happened and how devastated you must be, Lee told me and he said you might not be up for this, but it’s just some fun, that’s all. You deserve it.”

  “Uhm… deserve what?”

  “Me,” Evelyn said and took off her shirt.

  “Oh.”

  Evelyn walked over to Peter and undid his pants.

  “It’s just a way for me to say thank you.”

  She got on her knees and pulled out his flaccid penis and started sucking on it.

  Peter moaned and his dick started getting big real quick and filled up Evelyn’s mouth.

  “You don’t have to do this,” Peter told her.

  “Don’t worry about it.”

  “Did you just have sex with Lee?”

  She nodded and looked up at him, “It’s the only way I can say thanks. Please let me.”

  Eveleny took off her clothes and laid down on his bed.

  “How did you get such a great place?”

  “Took it,” Peter said and took off the rest of his clothes.

  He climbed on top of Evelyn and pushed his dick against her wet pussy and it slid in easily.

  He started fucking her.

  Evelyn pulled her legs up and Peter moved to spread her legs open wide.

  “Let me go on top,” Evelyn said and they moved around. Evelyn got on top of him riding him reverse. Giving Peter a great view of her ass and pussy as she started riding him.

  She turned around after they fucked for a few minutes and leaned over him, letting Peter grab and kiss at her large breasts.

  She started riding him harder as she started to get close to cumming.

  Peter reached down and spread open her ass and started pounding her.

  “Ohhhhh,” Evelyn cried as she started to cum.

  Peter moved her off of him and planted her ass on the side of the bed and did her doggy style. He started to pound her pussy as she started to cum.

  He grabbed her hair and pulled it hard as he continued pounding her.

  “Fuck me, fuck me hard,” Evelyn cried as she came.

  Peter pulled his dick out and jerked off against her asshole watching as cum entered her ass. He pushed against her asshole as he came.

  “Wow, well, thank for that,” Peter said as he unloaded the rest of his cum onto her ass cheeks.

  “No problem. Least I could do.”

  “Not entirely true. You can have a shower if you want. I have one.”

  “Wicked I love your room.”

  “Don’t get used to it,” Pete
r said sharply and wiped himself off with tissue.

  Chapter 6

  Everyone stared at Peter, waiting for his words, “Mr. Griffin is dead,” Peter began, “A casualty of this war. And I have taken command. You might wonder what experience I have, well trust me. I was a second class cadet at West Point with the ranking of a Major. I led my regiment to several war game victories. I have promoted myself to the position of Sergeant Major and plan to implement the West Point cadet scheme. We have done this to further promote survivalism.

  “In this new world, it is kill or be killed. You all were sent to this school for a reason. Either you were really good at something, you’re smart or your parents just had enough money. Whatever the case is, nothing of your old life exists anymore. It no longer matters if you were rich or poor, green, black, orange, yellow or white. It just doesn’t matter. You were all probably once told, that the future is what you make of it, well more than ever that is the case now isn’t it?”

  Peter paced along the auditorium stage. The remaining student body watching him.

  Seated on the stage was his loyal cadre.

  “We were all thrown into madness and our lives erased. We are cut off from the outside world and even if you could get a hold of your parents, they have their own troubles. So the goal is to survive and maybe, just maybe, there might be a family reunion in the future for you. For we still have a future, the darkness won’t last forever, but survival of the species will require great sacrifice and courage.

  “But the good news is that we’re all stronger than we feel. We can act when fate requires us. But the bad news is that we are at war. If those Night Crawlers and those Night Dragons wipe us out before the sun rises it’s all over. All the art, all the math, all the science, all the religion that we’ve fought for. Mankind won’t have another day in the sun, literally!

  “And that’s ultimately why I’m here; I offer you another day, a day to fight! A day to win! One day we will all talk and the stories of survival will be written for a thousand generations to read. How do you want to be remembered? Me, I want to be remembered like the Spartans of old, courageous, smart, strong! It is us that have the will that will become a force for our species!” Peter said feeling the momentum of the crowd.
