System Of The Undead

Chapter 262: Breaking Points

Rachel saw Allison chopped up into tiny bits and immediately knew that this wasn’t an accident otherwise he wouldn’t be so swift to take this action.

It was premeditated and Jason had killed her in cold blood, there was no doubt about that.

She no longer knew the man she was in love with and she couldn’t help but throw up all over the floor.

She had to leave the house before Jason returned but he would know someone was there because the vomit got all over the bag.

Rachel didn’t know what he was capable of anymore and despite her mind logically trying to find an excuse for why he did what he did, she couldn’t.

Jason was the one person who inspired change but they didn’t take into account that he too was subject to change.

Allison was dead and there would no doubt be questions surrounding her disappearance.

This would bring unnecessary attention towards them and she couldn’t risk it.

She had to protect Lillian and if things blew up in their face, it would drag her younger sister in.

"I wish Clementine was here..." Rachel found herself thinking because Jason’s character changed the moment she left the area.

She knew that Clementine had gone to find Sam but she hoped that she was safe.

She rushed to clean the floor but the vomit had gotten everywhere, she tried her best to clean the bag but all it did was smudge the bag.

The stench was evident and she had to get out of there, she had spent longer than she wanted.

"What are you doing here?" A voice questioned her and she immediately turned back to see it was Jason.

Jason realized she had seen the bag but the look in his eyes was cold, he didn’t look worried about this. He knew that Rachel was reasonable and if it was anyone that could understand, it was her.

"What have you done, Jason!?" Rachel questioned but all Jason did was sigh.

"I did what I had to do. Now if you would listen to me, I can explain," Jason said, taking a step closer to her but all she did was raise the mop she had in hand towards him; ready to strike.

Jason was surprised, it was almost like she thought he was capable of hurting her but this was to be expected. Jason has been erratic recently and there was no telling what he could do.

Jason, however, called her bluff and continued to walk towards her.

"Hey babe, it’s me. Put it down," Jason said calmly, he understood how things looked but Allison became a threat.

But then the unthinkable happened, Rachel smacked him with the map right across his forehead before trying to run past him.

Jason couldn’t believe this, the hit didn’t pack much of a punch but it was enough to rip his skin open.

He grabbed her before she could get past him, he had to calm her down before things could escalate, that was one thing he couldn’t risk.

"LET ME GO JASON!" Rachel screamed, forcing Jason to place his hand around her mouth.

"Calm down! I can explain!" Jason tried his best to reassure her but Rachel was surprisingly strong, the adrenaline must have kicked in.

She was fighting for her life and Jason realized what was happening.

At this very moment, he was the threat and his hands left her which allowed Rachel to break free.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!?" Rachel screamed before running out and Jason stood there in defeat.

"... I don’t know," Jason muttered to himself, there were other ways to handle this situation but this was his go, which troubled him but Jason didn’t regret his decision.

And he would do it again in a heartbeat if that was what it took to protect them.

Bella was worried, she was talking to Ren and he didn’t seem to like her for the correct reasons.

This place was as terrible as ever and she wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Ren should know what was going on, there was no reason why the other Specters wouldn’t know.

She expected Ren to be more aggressive but Ren looked like he was ready to listen to her.

That was strange but Ren was curious to see what had changed her to this degree.

Bella has always been a selfish cunt that would throw even her husband under the bus to save herself.

"You said you would do anything, huh?" Ren repeated and Bella could tell already that this could spell trouble knowing Ren.

"That is right, just don’t harm anyone in the community," Bella reiterated.

"We will listen only if you join the Specters," Ren proposed, he knew her joining would undo everything she had worked to change about herself.

A piece of shit would always remain a piece of shit regardless of how much it is washed.

But he was surprised by how swiftly Bella responded to this proposition.

"Deal," Bella responded without missing a beat and Ren’s face creased into an eerie smile.

But a woman walked in their direction, she had what one would call dead eyes and measured an impressive 6 ’4 in height.

The moment Ren saw her, his body language changed like he was scared of this individual.

She had the numerical value, III, embedded on her forehead.

"Ren? What are you doing here?" The pale-skinned woman questioned and Ren’s eyes diverted to the ground, scared to look her in the eyes.

Bella didn’t remember ever seeing someone like this living her months back so this must be a recruit but to have the number III title already? Just who was this woman?

"Bella, is it? Walk with me," The woman commanded, her voice was authoritative.

Bella was willing to die if that was what was needed so she didn’t possess the fear that should have otherwise been present.

She followed the woman and hoped that this person could tell her what was going on.
