Evil's Abode

the boy lead the way up about six flights of stairs and came to a large door. "Here we are mister." the boy said. He gave a loud knock in pattern form. Two quick knocks a 2 second pause, a loud knock, another 2 second pause, then two quick but heavy knocks and the door opened.

"Hello gentleman," The Wanderer said, "how are you this beautiful post-apocalyptic day?" The men all looked at each other then one of them said angrily to the boy, "Who is this and why did you bring him here?!"

The little boy looked scared and reply in a shy voice "I-I--I thought it might be okay if he just rested for the N-N---Night." the boy stuttered in his reply.

"Please gentleman, lets be, civil, about this. The boy was very nice in letting me come here, I promise you all no harm. But there is one thing I forgot to mention..." At that, the wanderer pulled the robe off of his face and one of the men's eyes widened and his face began shaking; he couldn't take what he saw and his eyes started bleeding, his nose started bleeding, his ears, and finally blood poured from his mouth as he whimpered until he was finally quiet. The other three men began running, he let them go, all but one, he grabbed him by the shirt collar and asked with a huge grin on his face "Do you want to die?" The man began crying and said "No. Please let me go." The wanderer said, "If you do not wish to die, then help me. I need a home and this looks like a perfect place, I will let you live if you stay with me and stay loyal to me. Do you accept?" The man looked up at the wanderer, but not into his eyes, and said, "Yes, yes I do, I will help you." The wanderer smiled and said, "Good."

The young boy cowered in the corner crying, frieghtened and terrified of what was happening. "P-p-p-please mister don't hurt me....." the boy continued to whimper and crying in the corner.

The wanderer heard a pathetic noise from behind him. He turned around and saw the kid and he said, "Either get out or help me, its your choice, but I wont kill you, you have my word. Now make a choice."

"Ye-y-ye-yes sir I will help you, what do you require of me?" the boy asked the hooded man.

"Now you may not exactly think of me as a human, but I do have human needs. Where is there food and water, I am simply ravished." Then he looked at the older man and said, "Go get your friends, I need more help." The man said, "Yes sir."

The boy ran off into another room and returned with a jug of water and some bread and dried meat, with a small block of cheese. he put the food on a small platter they had cleaned. Offering it to the hooded man he said "Here you go sir I hope this will suffice for you."

"This will do," he said "Now leave me I have things to think about and things to plan." At that the wanderer went back to the room with the stairs and started climbing them. He went up and started checking every room. After a couple of hours he reached the top floor, and the master suit. He looked around and saw it was mostly intact except for a two dead bodies on the bed and a 9mm pistol in between them. He said "Oh, how sweet, lovers even in death. It makes me sick." Then he spit on the floor. He saw an opened window and through both the bodies out the window and listened for the the satisfying SMASH!!! "There it-" SMASH!!! "Now they'll be together forever, flattened on the pavement!" A burst into maniacal laughter, then he said "This shall be my home now."

Shawn had wandered through the parts of the city when he swore heard heard the faint screams of a man in a nearby building. a few moments later he saw two bodies tossed out of a nearby building window, they hit the pavement with a loud smack. "What the hell is going on in that building?" shawn questioned to himself. Shawn withdrew his two Deagles and approached the building, as he neared the stairs a foul creature launched it self at him knocking shawn off balance and dropping his guns from his grip. Shawn howled in ager his voice booming across the city. Shawn transformed in the blink off an eye, he had mastered his transformation many moons ago. Shawn descened upon the creature he punched it in the chest and the creature howled in pain, the ghoul threw an uppercut that barely clipped shawns face. Shawn ran a wide circle out to the right near a wall. Shawn leapt at the wall and with amazing speed shifted direction and launched a deadly kick into the chest of the ghoul. The creature lay on the ground barely moving, shawn shifted back to human form and retrieved his guns. Walking over to the ghoul shawn put a foot on it's chest, aimed a deagle at its head and fired five shots ending its life as the sound of the gunfire rang across the city.

The Wanderer heard a gunshot. He thought to himself "What new plaything have we here." He proceeded downstairs until he saw a man he hadn't seen before. He said to the newcomer, "And how are you this evening?"

Shawn shifted direction with blinding speed facing the new voice, Shawn took a defensive stance guns in hand ready to fire if needed. Shawn sensed something about this "man" evil it seemed to radiate from him. Shawn put 2 and 2 together and figured this must be the one that threw the bodies out of the window. "I see through your ruse, sir what are you doing here and why did you throw the two bodies out the window?" Shawn questioned with a bit of grit in his voice.

"Because they took my bed!" and let out an evil laugh. "Oh and they also disgusted me. Previous lovers, you see? Im sure you do, you seem like a smart man, I could use a smart man like you." Then he looked down and saw the ghoul and said, "And strong too! I can definitely use you! Will you help me?"

"Why should I help you, you are an evil creature I can sense it I can feel the negative energy flow you emit. You cause fear and suffering all around you." Shawn stated. "What do you plan on doing?" Another question escaped shawns lips.

"What do I plan on doing? I plan on making the world a better place, there will be no murder, no drugs, no rape, nothing! It will be a perfect world, and how are you so sure I'm evil? I have done nothing to you, but if you wish to live in this maggot infested hole in which you call New York, be my guest but I will change it."

"How can I tell you are evil, well your previous statment about the two lovers, and the fact I have a strong connection with empathy and I can partially feel what you feel and some of your thoughts surface every few seconds. I do not like what I see and you may plan on changing the world but I fear you will do it through fear and unnesicery bloodshed." Shawn said grimacing through the mental images that were surging through his head. Shawn bent over an retched as one image flashed through his mind. Shawn focused his mind and put a mental sheild up against the evil figures thoughts and previous actions.

"Well if you don't want any more unnecessary violence and bloodshed then you should either help me or leave this place, I am not a fighter, but nor am I a lover." He said with malicious glee. "But you should no that you would be a very valuable asset to me. And if you did help me, then you would get anything you desire and I promise no undo harm shall befall you. Now please make a choice, before these four men-" he pointed behind Shawn to the men he scared from the tower earlier "make the choice for you. Gentleman, either give this man whatever he wishes, or escort him out. Good day, sir."

"I will not help you out, and dont think I am scared by four mere men. Even with the right tools they would stand little chance against me." Shawn states as he snarls and begins his transformation, taking merely seconds shawn no easily towers over the four men and their master. Shawn lets out an ear deafening roar, Shawn stomps the ground around him cracking cement. "Here is my suggestion, go back into your little tower and conduct your business and leave me in piece to explore where I will." Shawn shoots back his response nastily.

"Ha! A werewolf! You think you scare me? In my travels before the war people called me Satan! They called me the Devil! You mutt, you stand no chance against me! Do you think I care that you have fangs? Since you do not wish to help me you can go, I gave you my word that I would not harm you, but beware if I see you in this building again, I will kill you. Now have a good day, gentleman, please stand back from the mongrel, let him leave, I still have uses for the four of you later. Now say goodbye mutt!" And he laughed with malicious glee.

Shawn stalked off into the wasteland looking for someone or something to take his rage out on. He ran for twenty minutes or so and found nothing to take his rage out on. "I have got to find some more people I need to start building a society of some sort. That man is evil and he is going to cause this new world a lot of hurt and suffering before he makes it better." Shawn thought sadly to himself. He thought about life before the explosions and before the wars, he shed a few tears for the lost and departed, The many he knew must have died when the bombs dropped. Shawn continued to stalk on through the wasteland staying in his werewolf form for the time being.

To Heading to boston

The Wanderer watched the man stalk away for a bit then looked at the four men standing in front of him and he said, "Go find more people, we need a society, promise them anything they want to come here. Do it quick, I'm bored. Then he went to the top of his tower sat at a desk in the room and thought about what he was going to do next.

Nadine approached her new caretaker, "My lord I was wondering perhaps if there was some food and maybe something to drink about, I haven't had nourishment for two days now and I am awfully hungry." she questioned the man.

The Wanderer looked up from his hands and saw the girl he brought from LA, he had basically forgotten she existed. He barely heard her request but said, "Yes, there is food downstairs on a platter, a boy brought it to me but I lost my appetite. Go and grab it, it is on the bottom floor, when your finished eating do me a favor and find a weapon, then explore the city, I want to know what I've gotten myself into."

Nadine goes downstairs to find the food and fills herself up, she searches around for awhile and finds a pistol with 2 clips net to it she pockets the clips and moves out the front door. She is weary at first but feels confident with the pistol, walking thrity feet or so away from the building she hears a faint noise. The sound of small rubble moving but, she just shrugs it off as her imagination. After a few more steps nadine is jumped by a group of four men, they rush her and nadine fires two shots into one of the mens legs. Another one gets in close backhanding her to the ground, "You stupid bitch your gonna pay for that. Hold her down fellas." he said to his comrades. Nadine had been raped too many times before to know realize what was going on. She yelled as loud as she could "PLEASE HELP ME." She only hoped that her new master would her cries for help.
