Priest of Death - Part 12

***

Two days later, on the same church, in the same locked room blocked by the furniture, on the same spot, the same Undead priest, utters its prey, to the portrait of Jesus Christ on the cross, standing still and not moving a muscle from its place. He is praying for an in a somewhat understandable speaking form to be understood by a human.

After about two hours, someone enters the church, had someone is a human, who upon entering the place, he looks around the place, scared and holding a cane. The person is a female, in her forty's and she is covered in blood. It looks like blood zombie rather than human zombie. The woman, is entering the church, she looks around terrified at the sight of corpses in there who were left by the zombies from two days ago. As the woman continues to walk in the church, she hears something. A prey coming from the room of the priest.

"Hey. Is someone here?" asks the woman scared.

Nobody responded to the question, but the prey continued to be heard in the church on a low volume. The woman stands on her position for thirty more seconds before she takes courage and walks toward the doors of the priest room. As she got close to the door, she tries to enter the room, but doors are stuck by the furniture. She checks all three doors and all are having an obstacle on their way.

"Is someone in there?" continues to ask the woman when she hears the praying going on.

Then, the woman knocks on the door, and this knock has made the creature stop praying, and make him turn around. Sava's body, who is possessed by an Undead, he walks toward the door on slow steps, and as he arrived in there, he pushes through the furniture of that is blocking its way. But it will not be possible, because the big shelves are blocking the entire doors.

"Hey. You need help?"

The thing did not respond to this question. He continued to beat the furniture hoping this would resolve the problem he is facing. The woman tries to do something, so she walks toward a second door, she manages to push the door hard enough to slowly move the furniture piece from the way. It was moved a little, but this little did make something great.

The Undead hears the furniture of the second door moving, so he walks there, and he walks toward that door. He looks at how the furniture continues to move little by little, while the woman grows tired of pushing the door.

It takes about two minutes, but she managed to move the furniture and fall on the Undead Priest. The thing, upon the moment furniture has fallen on him, he yelled in pain like a human and growled like a zombie. The unknown woman, opening the door, he sees the furniture falling on a zombie, and she immediately gets scared by the appearance of the zombie. She turns around, and runs away from the church, letting the Undead deal with the shelf who is on top of him.

After about then minutes, the thing manages to shake the big shelf with a lot of books and other items used by orthodox churches when Sunday or any holiday comes. He moves it to his left, and the thing can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Y…Yes." says the Undead Sava looking on the ceiling, at the Gods who are painted centuries ago.

The Undead raises from the ground, he walks out of this room, toward the another, he sees in their corpses of humans, who have been eaten all of their organs, including brains, eyeballs and intestines, everything. The thing approaches a human body, he touches its forehead, and looks at it, sadden to see a dead body with no way of coming back.

"I-I am sorry." says the thing to the three bodies who were eaten two days ago by zombies.

He raises to its feet, and walks outside of the church.

He hasn't left his church for about six days, almost a week, he stayed in the church, praying to God and blocked in his room, without any food or water. Only praying to God, was his last salvation and thing to pass this time, locked in a room with remaining of his last humanity, until a random woman came to free the poor undead body of Sava.

Outside, Sava is looking at his surroundings. He can see like a human the destruction provoked by the mass panic, bodies of people who once visited the church to get guidance from the God, or go on orthodox holidays to feel like they have made their part of Christianity, and he also sees how a fighter jet travels the sky near the village, drops a few bombs who are landing on the village.

Upon the impact of those bombs, big black clouds emerge into the houses who were once lived by free, happy, and with aspirations people. There were humans still not infected inside of those houses, but now, most of them haven't probably managed to survive for long.

There were about five bombs from that fighter jet who have hit the village as Sava was counting it. The Undead Priest is looking at the destruction left by the planes with sadness. He can still reminiscent the memories of the villagers who were good people, came to church regularly and helped each other in need.

The Undead Priest remains on his place for a while, until he hears a screaming.

"Sava!" says a male voice, coming from the left side of Sava, at about twenty feet from him.

Sava, turns around to that direction, looking confused at that person. When he looked at the male person who just called him, he can remember his name, and some memories he had with that person.

"Toma?"

"Sava." says Toma approaching slowly to Sava. He is wounded on the left arm, and wears some ripped shirt from an attack of a few zombies who were trying to eat his organs.

Sava is looking at Toma, who is slowly approaching him, holding on his right arm an axe. He can feel the person is holding the axe with a strong grasp, and he can feel it's a homicidal aura all around him. Things who is making Sava aware of this, he goes a few steps away, and he tells Toma.

"Don't kill me. I am not infected!"

"You liar!" says Toma angrily, slowly approaching Sava. "Then why are you green?"

Sava did not notice upon now that he is having a different skin colour due to the zombie virus he has been infected in these past days.

He remained on his position, letting Toma advance slowly. He is thinking on how he can attack Toma or how he can convince him it is a zombie like the ones who have now infected this planet who once was having all kinds of people.

But, when Toma was at five feet distance from Sava to almost kill him, a zombie shows at the doorsteps of the church. There were three zombies who have showed up from inside of the church, meaning the three bodies from earlier, even if they were having most of the organs eaten, they can still become zombies. Those things, as they left the church, they look toward Toma, and they walk toward him. Toma, seeing three zombies coming after him, he turned around quickly and ran from there.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" says Sava to the zombies who are running after Toma.

But the things did not stop.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

The zombies were still chasing Toma.

"In the name of God! I command you to stop!" yells Sava to these things, angrily pointing his hands to those zombies.

And under the strange circumstances, the things have stopped from moving, they suddenly stopped chasing the human. When these things have stopped, Toma was still running from there, not looking back, to see the Undead Priest, who have saved him from certain zombie transformation and earlier tried to murder Sava for being a different zombie who can still be human.

Sava stands on the ground, he is looking at his hands, his blue and green arms, wondering how he did that. He is looking scared on his hands, muttering to himself.

"W-What was that? I-I can control these?"
