Apotheosis

This is a story that I started working on a few days ago an wanted to share it. It will be divided up into three acts with three to four "parts" to each act. Thanks for checking it out an let me know what you think about it!

Act 1 Genesis

Part 1

Vasiliy peeled himself off the cold ground, looked over and saw the rail car flipped over an wrecked. He walked over to it in horror as he seen Vlad, his squad mate ripped in half at the waist. He checked for anything of use, nothing but a few shotgun slugs."Rest easy my friend", Vasiliy said coldly, he then closed his eyes an whispered a short prayer. Suddenly he heard hellish screaming an screeches from the end of the tracks. He turned on his flash light held his double barrel tightly an stood his ground as the beasts approached.

"I can do this", he thought to himself. An with a thundering roar he unleashed one barrel blowing the beast's head clean off. He quickly whipped the gun to his right side an fired a buck shot spread dropping two. One of the foul beast was still alive so he drove his boot through its head smashing it to the concrete. Vasiliy moved backwards as more charged, he hastly threw In two more shells an fired as the beast leaped at him. The beast crushing weight fell on him an knocked him to the ground. He kicked the creature off but another was already on top of him. The creature knocked his double barrel to the side as he tryed to pull it up. He struggled with it for a few moments then pulled his 44. Revolver out off his hip an pumped four shots into its belly spraying blood everywhere.

He kicked the carcass off him an stood up out of breath and shaking. "God damn Nosalises", he said loudly. He had only been with the Riga militia two months an wasn't use to this sort of action. Vasily fell to the ground with his back to the rail car trying to get ahold of him self.He checked his ammo. Six buck shots, two slugs an ten 44. rounds. "This is not enough...not enough", he thought. He pulled out his canteen took a hard swig then stood up and headed south down the dark eerie tunnel back to Riga...he hoped.

Part 2 Coming soon.

 

Thanks for the feed back. Ill work on my grammar. As far as the number of creatures I didn't really want to say something like "and 5 nosalices approached". But I'll be sure to be more descriptive.

 

Roger. I'm starting work on part 2 later today. I just have to put everything together. My damn laptop is broke so I'm doing all this from my phone so it slows everything down.

 

The main character is very unsure of himself and his abilities. This is the tale of his "apotheosis". Where he elevates himself through out the story an begins to believe. Plus I thought it would be a pretty kick ass title for a story.

 

Genesis Act 1

Part 2

Vasiliy had been walking for at least two hours before he stopped to eat. He pulled out a old can of tuna and popped the top off with his fathers's old knife he had left him. It was the only thing he had to remind him of his dad after he disappeared two years ago. The tuna was bad, but it was all he had to eat and was starving. He chugged his canteen, now empty and continued on. The tunnel was dark and damp, things seemed to move in the distance an rattle on the pipes, Vasiliy didn't care as long as it didn't try and kill him he was fine.

The yelling and screaming began again. When Vasiliy looked back he knew there were too many nosalices to fight them all so he ran as fast as he could. He was getting tired, he couldn't run forever. Up a head he noticed a path way on the right side of the tunnel and bolted for it. They were catching up to him, he could hear them getting closer an closer.

There was a steel door at the end of the hall way an he attempted to slam it shut as he ran up to it but one of the beast managed to get it's head around the door. Vasiliy pulled out his 44., put the barrel in its mouth and fired. Blood splashed him in the face. He then slammed the door shut and reloaded. He wished he never volunteered for that transport mission, "they should have chose someone better"; he thought.

"What the hell was that?"; someone said in the distance. Vasiliy quickly hid behind some crates. He noticed two menacing figures walking up the hall. He escaped the nosalices but ran him self right into a bandit hideout it seemed. He just wanted to make it back to Riga. "This day keeps getting better an better"; he whispered.

 

Thank you! The more comments I get and feedback pushes me to write more and more and really adds to this stories concepts and ideas. The real tale has yet to begin!

 

The next installment is being put together. Stand by!

 

Act 1 Genesis
Part 3

"Why the hell is the door slammed shut?" The foul man said to his companion.
"You know how things are around here, probably nothing"; said the mongrel's lackey.
The brute in charge slapped his idiot to the ground, and kicked him in his teeth.
"Don't question me something's not right"; the stronger raider barked. The two began to search around.

Fear ran through Vasiliy, he was tired and lost. There was no one to help, he was alone. He tryed to shake it off because he knew he had to live. Vasiliy pulled out his fathers's knife and stared at it. "Give me your strength...please", he thought.

He crawled behind the two fiends moving slowly, they were obviously drunk. The time was right and he ran down the corridor falling behind a stack of corpses. He pulled two bodies on top of him , as a watchmen peered around the corner into the small, strange death chamber. He grunted and staggered away.

Vasiliy pushed the stinking corpses off him, and leaned against the far wall. This was his chance. He slid out, easing his way down the shadowy hall way. One of the so called humans had his back to him. Vasiliy leaped out toward his foe knife in hand, the man turned suddenly and tackled Vasiliy. Vasiliy ripped at the bandits ear with his own teeth and struggled against the man. Vasiliy forced him over and beat the man's face into the ground with his bare hands.

He stood up weary and battered as he heard, "Intruder!". Vasiliy ran. He hid back to a wall, one maniac charged, Vasiliy turned around the corner and caught the bandit in his chest with his shotgun. The man wasn't dead, he heard him scream in pain...laying there bleeding, he was still alive. Vasiliy ran for what he thought was the exit. As he rounded the bend he caught a lead pipe to the face.

"We got em!" the now no toothed lackey yelled. Vasiliy looked up in pain as he was losing conscience.

 

Thanks, it means a lot to me to know people are reading my story!

 

Roger ill let us into his mind more on certain things. I'm going to start working on part 4 tonight. Thanks again guys.

 

Act 1 Genesis

Part 4

Vasiliy woke up, in a chair hands tied behind his back, bleeding.The bandits had taken turns beating him.

"So what are we going to do with him boss?" The bandit murmured.
"Let me cut em' up"; another bandit said, pulling out a large butcher knife. "Well, I guess this is it", Vasiliy thought. He couldn't believe it was going to end like this. He closed his eyes and remembered when he was a child, kicking a soccer ball around with his mom. Tears ran down his eyes.

The door suddenly exploded and gun shots rang out. Vasiliy jumped up, hands still bound and shoulder tackled one of the bandits. The mans head bounced off the concrete wall, and fell to the ground. Vasiliy looked up and couldn't believe his eyes, it was Nikoli a fellow member of the Riga militia; along with two other friendlys.

"How did you find me?!" Vasiliy screamed. "We'll talk later, we got to get out of here there's a lot of hostels here", Nikoli yelled back. They freed Vasiliy, he grabbed his gear and the four took off out the room."We got a rail car at the exit of this place, hurry Vasiliy!", one of his comrades yelled. Vasiliy could barely keep going, his body ached from the punishment he had endured. Bullets dinged and tinged as the four ran through the hideout.

He could see the exit and the rail car. His companions jumped up easily onto the cart, they had to help Vasiliy up because he was so spent. A bandit jumped on the cart ax in hand, Vasiliy aimed and fired his shotgun erasing the lunatic from existence. One of the militia men fired up the engine and hit the accelerator, they sped off like lightning. Vasiliy sat back in his chair barely alive. "I can't believe it...I made it", Vasily thought. A small smile grew on his battered face, as the rail car raced through the metro.

"Vasiliy I got a letter for you", said Nikoli. "From who?", he yelled back, over the sound of the motor.

"Your father".
