Group 13 Introduction

“Abraham, we have a problem.” Samuel stated as he came into Abraham's residence. They lived in a rural area and were the leaders of a biblical cult. Abraham was holding his fifth wife on his lap, rubbing his hand on her stomach that was growing his child. She was his eight daughter as well. She sat, looking at the ground, her dull brown eyes not looking up, subordinate like the way the women should be.

“What is it Samuel?” Abraham asked with a sigh. Samuel was his second in charge.

“Well, there has been noise coming from the forest. There also seems to be a rash of some kind of infection within the facility. Three of Joseph's daughters have fallen down and are in a slumber. One of Ezekiel's sons is also having an illness. Abel swears that his third wife, Dinah, has been bitten by someone. She is currently locked in their basement as she has become possessed.” Samuel told their leader. He held his head down and waited for orders.

“We'll, exorcise all of the ill. Dinah especially! We cannot have any of it spreading or for more possessions to happen.” Abraham stated. Samuel bowed and left.

Abraham then removed his fifth and went to his eighth wife. Her blond hair was up in a tight bun, he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her limp body to the bedroom. She was thirteen, that was old enough to have her first child in his books. And as far as this place went, his books was law! Sure, he passed it off as God's work, but it was just a way to get them to follow him. They had one wife, maybe more if they were 'good people'. He had many. They gladly and quite proudly gave their daughters to him! It was even their hope that he would choose them!

After he had spent time performing his husbandly duties, he went back to his main room. Several of the other men were there, they were his top ranking followers. They loved the power it gave them too much to even care about stopping him. In truth, they were like minded. “Well, gentlemen, let's get started with Dinah's exorcism.” He announced and they all left to the site.

When they got there, she was tied down. She was thrashing her head about, which had been gagged. She was growling and trying to reach them. She was in a circle on the ground with candles around her. The men stared at her for a while, trying to figure out the best way to go about this. “Was she hard to subdue to this level?” Samuel asked the men who had tied her.

“She was very much so! She had attacked any who were close enough! She has bitten four others!” Jonah replied.

“What of the ones bitten?” Abraham asked. It was protocol, he didn't truly care.

“They went to the healer. He said that they should be fine, just some rest and stitches.”

"Ok, then we shall begin!” Abraham started. His voice boomed through the air, echoing all around them. He stood proudly as he started reciting scripture that he didn't truly believe in.

Soon, they heard noise from around them. More of their followers came out, moaning and going for them. They started feasting and attacking on the men! Dinah broke free and joined. A few of the youngsters witnessed this! They were scared, the people whom were sick earlier were attacking and eating the others! They watched as some of the dead, rose again and started attacking more!

“We need to go before they get us next.” Jacob stated while looking around anxiously. The rest agreed. Their group consisted of five males and three females. The girls followed them willingly, they didn't want to stay and didn't know what to do! The men would take care of them. They always had! They left the compound, going into the forest surrounding them. The forest was alive with the sounds of the dead.
