    The warrior arrived at the home to witness the child
the couple had called on for the strange sense of wild
something unseen lurked in the home and was not very pleased
the warrior entered to immediately feel the presence of another being laying siege
he began his search in the cellar for his senses on this night deceived
the dimly lit cellar held an aura of deadly evil doings once received
back on the main floor
the warrior walked towards the back dining area where on the right another room stood
he heard the couple with the child in joyful laughter as only a child could
as he opened the door to the room a strong sense of remembrance washed over him
he saw the distraught figure of a young woman in white sleeping gown pacing and waiting to sin
it was the spirit of a dead young lady he'd seen in his dream
the warrior quietly closed the door to walk away and bare his thoughts to clean
while upstairs his thoughts shattered upon hearing the painful screams of the couple making discovery
quickly making his way to the room knowing it to late to halt a vengeful spirits recovery
he opened the door to find the lifeless bodies with faces contorted from fear of their encounter
he looked at the ashen face young lady tenderly holding her child with mothers affection
the warrior asked why she selt the need to take life knowing the couples evil infection
"These two evil beings were my adopted family" she said in trembling whisper
"The child I bore to him against the will" she paused to look at them and blistered
"This is not my doing...but the will of the Father"
"This child is innocent and in need of protection that I can not provide"
"I place him in your care warrior...as it is written"
she placed the child gently on the bed  then turned to look at the warrior with final words
"Be very careful with this one...for they will send others to try and hurt him" as she faded and was gone

    The warriors set out to their santuary that night with child in hand
passing by what seemed an abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere to stand
the sound of  young voices and broken glass brought them to a stop
"Stay here with the child out of sight sister...we will go and take a look"
they found an opened door to the right and three brothers entered the shop
one brother searched the main floor while the other two went to a lower level
finding a wide winding staircase that led to the lower depths they started their descent
half way down they came accross standing water with its musty scent
"Stay here brother...I will go in for a quick look"
he walked down a little further to disappear into the dark water
he returned a short while later with some trinkets he hung on the staircase and went back going farther
a good amount of time had passed and the waiting warrior began to worry
he called out to the warrior on the main floor but when seeing sparks he stopped hoping his broether would hurry
the warrior heard and found the brother standing by the water and feared the worst
suddenly they saw some bubbling in the water and walked in to take a better look
"Look over there"
they saw a body floating in the water and walked over to try and hook
the warriors were now shoulder high in the water and the body was floating away
one brother went under and came up grabbing the body to hold and stay
moving the body to the stairs they quickly saw it was the brother but a young man
they checked for signs of life and finding a glimer they proceeded to make it stand
after a few attemps the body jerked then spewed water gasping for air
the young man opened his eyes in shock and to confused to care
"Why did you bring me back!...You should have let me die!"
the warriors just looked at the young man but had no real answer to repair
just then the missing warrior shot out of the water to join them on perch
the warriors with the young man in tow went back up to continue the search
hearing the sound of engines the warriors made their way towards a back exit
hidden by the weeds two of the brothers went farther out near the water to get a fix
they heard voices that told them the motorized vessel was stolen and weapons were stored inside
back inside the warriors found to others boys bound and took them quickly to join in the ride
"Put fire to this evil place so that it not be used again!"
as they rode off into the night they felt the explosion of powerful weapons as the warehouse burned to nothing

    The warriors arrived at their sanctuary to find it surrounded in a deep aura of evil hiding
"Get the children inside...quickly!... lets move!
they rushed to reach the entrance when they saw a band of ashen dead bdies gliding
"Sister, get that child to safety...and you brother get the other children to the upper room then hurry back!
...and you...go around back to be sure all is clear...they move slowly...and we must shut down this main floor!
having all managed to get inside
as the warrior went to close the door one of the walking dead wedged an arm and leg to shore
"Hurry warriors...I don't know how long I can hold them off!"
the warriors arrived just as he was about to be overcome and taking a quick look he saw many more marching to score
"It seems the Devil has emptied the graves to march upon us!"
with the main floor secure the warrior went to check the cellar remembering that one of the brothers was sent around back
he walked the steps to see the brother sitting on a bench as if in a trance with one of the dead walkig towards him
the warrior flashed his sword as he came up behind the walking dead to hack
slicing the head it crumpled to the ground and the brother snapped out of the trance he was in
and he spoke, "Warrior...we have something else in this sanctuary."
they quickly went upstairs to check and make sure the children were safe
the pounding outside by the walking dead was loud and frightening
they moved sister and the children to the upper room and the three bagan their chase
as the warrior approached the dining hall the feel of a presence heightened
the warrior slowed his pace as he came to an adjoining room to peek through the doorway
standing before himwas an ashen faced spirit with dark holes where the eyes shoud be who looked at him and swayed
it then moved further back as if in fear...and there another spirit of a thin man stood to stare back him stoic
there also...a heavy set female spirit with child in hand moved forward and the warrior pointed her away
but the female spirit continued on and met the warriors pointed finger with hardness and a smile that was heroic
a strange feeling of security came over him as the spirits moved away and faded into the walls
and as they left the pounding on the walls subsided and then came to a stop.
