The Necromancer pt.2

The Necromancer pt.2

Oct 17, 2019

[He makes his way past the crossway of the hallways. He makes a left into the door of the male bathroom. He runs into one of the stalls. Mark kneels down over the toilet and begins vomiting.]

Mark: BBBLLLAAARRRGGGHHH!!!

[Mark vomits into the toilet. His body calms down. He reaches his hand up to flush the toilet. He still keeps his head down next to the toilet bowl. Mark is sweating and breathing extremely heavily.]

Mark:I’m tired. I’m just tired. Another patient lost. It’s the 7th one this shift. I don’t think I can do this anymore. I been working for 26 hours straight. I can do this anymore. I have to tell another family that their loved one is dead.

[As Marks sits his head over the toilet he grows in frustration. He clenches his fist tight with anger. Mark takes a deep breathe in. And then lets out a long whine.]

Mark: I gotta get up. I have to stitch up the body.

[Mark pushes himself off the toilet. He stands up and breathes in and out one time. He walks out of the stall to the sink to wash his hands. Mark throws water onto his face. He lifts his head up and looks in the mirror. He stares himself down in the mirror as water is constantly dripping from his face. He shakes his head quickly back and forth. He walks out the bathroom back to the operating room.]

Mark: I’m back.

[Nurse turn her attention to Mark.]

Nurse: Are you ok Mark?

Mark: Yeah I’m fine.

[The nurse walks out of the room. He throws the mask back into his face and proceeds to slap on a pair of gloves. Mark grabs the tools to stick back up the body.]

Mark: The last time I’m doing this today.

[As Mark is stitching the body back together his right hand suddenly begins to glow.]

Mark: What The Hell!!

[Beep! Beep! Beep! The heart monitor starts beeping again. Mark quickly adverts his attention to the heart monitor.]

Mark: What that’s going off??!! What Is Happening??!!

[A large flash of light covers the room.]

Mark:AAHH!! I CAN'T SEE!!

[The large light slowly goes. Mark is in the corner of the operating room in the fidel position. He is terrified at was is is witnessing. The body that lay lifeless on the operating bed has now to just sprung to life. The body leans its torso upright. The man looks down at his hands and then slowly turns his head in the direction of Mark’s corner.]

???: I’m Alive!

[The man says with a confused straight face. Mark stares at him. Then a smile slowly starts to come across Mark’s face.]

Mark:Y...Y..Your Alive!

[Mark looks at his hands.]

Mark:I have power! I can revive people!

[Mark begins to smile.]

Mark:James?! Is that you!

James: Yea.

[Mark helps James body and checks to make sure everything is alright. Time passes by and doors open. In front of the doors is a family. The family jumps for joy.]

Family: JJJJAAAMMMEEESSSS!!!

[A big smile comes across James face.]

James: Hello.

[James goes away with his family. Mark shifts ends he punches his time card into the machine and leaves the hospital. He walks down the street staring at his hands. Clenching and opening his fist.]

Mark: Wow so I have some sort of power to revive people.

[Legs hang off the side of a building swinging back and forth. A smile appears.]

???: News Travels Fast! This Is Going To Be Fun! Hmhmhehaha! Hmhmhehaha!

[Inside a large room with a long horizontal table seating 10 people all in long robes. The doors open to this room of people. A woman walks through.]

???(woman): He came here to talk to you about something he says is beneficial.

[A large man with a long beard sitting in the middle of the table slams his hand on the table in frustration.]

???(man): Damnit! What does he want at a time like this!

???(woman): Do I let him in?

???(man):Huh! Let him in.

[In walks a man. He walks in front of a group of people. He tilts his beret down as a gesture to greet. The man smirks.]

???: Greetings Council! Especially you Byron. Hmhmhehaha

[Byron grits his teeth. The man's grin grows larger.]

Byron : What do you want?! We don’t have time to deal with your antics!!

???: What?! Antics?! I don’t know what you mean…

[The man smiles.]

???: I just share information that I hear so that you all can stay ahead of the revolutionaries and keep control of this world…

[Byron slams his fist onto the table.]

Byron: Damnit!!! Get to the point!!!

[The man smiles.]

???: Woah!! Woah!! Why so much hostility?! Hmhehaha

[The man chuckles under his breath.]

Byron:GET TO THE POINT!!!

???: Okay! So I have a solution to your medical problem.

Byron: What?

???:...

Shona: After the Necromancer discovered his powers he began to use them a lot more frequently. He was reviving people left and right. His started to feel relieved of stress. But that didn't take long for our government to notice him.

[Mark has upgraded his life and now works out of a mansion. Mark works as a doctor for hire. Mark sits back with his nurse and reminisce. ]

Mark:Wow! When I look back it has been a wild 6 months. Isn’t that right Sam!

Sam: Yeah! My life has gotten a lot better since I became your nurse.

[Ring! Ring! The doorbell rings throughout the name.]

Mark: Sam can you answer that?

Sam:Ok!

[Sam walks to the front door. He opens the door to see two men outside.]

Man 1: Excuse is the home of the miracle doctor?!

Sam: Yes this is. How many we help you?

Man 2: We Have A Friend In The Car That Is Dying Can You Save Him PLEASE!!

[They say in a hurry.]

Sam: Ok I will get the stretcher.

[Sam runs to get a stretcher from inside the house. He screams throughout the house.]

Sam: Mark We Got A PAtient!!

Mark: Alright!

[Sam runs out the house pushing the stretcher. They pull up to the car and open the back door. Inside the car is a body laying on the seats.]

Sam: Here! Lift him up onto here!

[They pick up their friend and put him on the stretcher. They run the patient in to the house’s operating room where Mark is slapping on his gloves getting ready.]

Man 1: Are we allowed to watch?

Mark: Sure!!

[Mark smirks. He plugs the body up to the machines.]

Mark: I'm going to put him under.

[Mark puts a gas mask on the patient.]

Mark: This should stop his heart rate.

[Mark moves his body in the vision of the two men. He blocks there vision as his begins the procedure. He puts his hand on the patient’s chest. Mark’s hands begin the glow. The men standing behind Mark watches as a bright light come from in front of Mark. But the glows quickly goes away.]

Man 1: His hand glowed.

Man 2: It’s true.

Man 1: Mhm.

[ The two men whisper to each other.]

Mark: What the hell?!

[Mark hands glow again. But quickly go away.]

Mark: Why is this happening?! The glow shouldn’t be going away that quickly!!

[The two men walk up close to the mark. Sam steps in there pathway to block they walkway.]

Sam: Sorry! You can not get any closer.]

[Man 1 pulls out a gun and shoots Sam in the leg.]

Sam:AAAHHH!!!

Mark: What the…

[Mark flicks his head around to the sound of the gun shot.]

Mark:SSSAAAMMM!!!

[The men wipe out their badges.]

Officer 2993: Do not interfere! Im officer 2993! Mr.Mark we are taking you into custody!

Mark: Why did you shoot Sam??!!! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN CUSTODY??!!

Officer 2993: Didn’t want to do it but sometimes pedestrians get hit. Now please put your hands behind your hand.

Mark: Like Hell I will!!

[Mark tries to run but before he can go anywhere the patient springs to life and grabs a scalpel holding it close to Mark’s neck.]

Mark: HUH! You are supposed to be dead!

[SNEEZE! The patient heavily breathes in then snorts plugs out of his nose.]

Patient: I was never dead to begin with. I plug my nose and held my breath ever since I was put on the stretcher.

Mark: But How Did You Get Past My Heart Monitor??!!!

Patient: Its an old technique I learn to slow down my heart rate. I slowed it down enough for me to slip under the monitor.

Mark: WWWHHAAATT!!!

Shona: The officers took the Necromancer back to the council and they forced him to fix their dead soldiers. Over time the Necromancer began to change.

[Mark and his nurse examine the bodies in this room.]

Mark: I have to reveal all of them. This is getting exhausting!

[Mark buries his head in hand.]

Nurse: Hey doctor Mark?!

Mark: BITCH WHAT!!

[The nurse jumps in shock. Mark unaware on why he said what he said. Mark coming to the realization of what he’s done.]

Mark: W..W..What!? Nurse I am so sorry! I don’t know what just came over me! Lets take a break for a bit!

Nurse: Yes sir!

[Mark calls for a break. Mark walks out of the room towards the bathroom. On his way to the bathroom he is constantly stumbling and hitting the wall. He grabs his head.]

Mark: *HELLO! WHO IS IN HERE! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[Mark eventually makes it into the bathroom.]

Mark: Why did I lash out like that?!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[Mark screams in agony. Mark heart rate is increasing. He is perplexed on what is going on.]

Mark: WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE OF MY HEAD!!! I HEAR TOO MANY VOICES!!!! AAAHHHHH!

[Many voices flood into Mark’s head all muttering different things. Mark looks in the mirror over the sink. He sees his body twitching. Mark looks at face. His face shakes side to side.]

Mary: James where are you going?

[James gets up from his seat with a blank expression. He doesn’t speak a word. He then takes off running out of the house as Mary tries to run after him.]

Mary: JAMES!!!! Where are you going!!!

[Mark steadily shakes. Mark looks at himself in the mirror as he watches himself switch personalities.]

Mark: AAAHHH!!!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!! WHO VOICES ARE THESE!!! WHO MEMORIES ARE THESE!!!!

[Mark begins to lose himself.]

Mark: I can’t stop it!

[Five minutes pass by and Mark is sitting on the floor.]

Mark: I think it stopped!

[Mark gets up and washes his face in the sink. He walked toward the door and as soon he opens the door he sees James and 70 other people standing outside the door. So pack together in one spot the lines reached around both corners of the hallway. The voices come back into his head.]

Mark:THEIR BACK!!! WHO AM I!!!!

[The overflow of memories rushing into Marks head he wasn’t sure which ones was his. Because of the identity confusion that Mark began going through cause the other 70 people to act with rage and become destructive. The followers of Mark began to destroy and tear apart the building their were in. Mark began fighting back to gain control of himself.]

Mark: EVERYONE STOP!!!!

[All of the followers stop moving at look at the one who has command over them.]

Mark: HEH! HEH! HEH! Follow Me!

Shona: The Necromancer gain enough of his sanity to control his zombie followers. They walk their way out of the building. The military sat by as the whole thing happen because they wanted to see where he was going and they did want to just shred down the crowd of people with their guns because it would look bad in the citizen eyes. The Necromancer took the zombie horde on a day worth of walking journey to the Florian Abyss. This is where he has been lying for many years. The only thing keeping them their is the slither of sanity left in the Necromancer. But they say each year that sanity gets closer to slipping away. And when that sanity is gone the horde will be unleashed onto the world.

Icarus: mmm?

Kai: mmm?

Icarus and Kai: Lets Go!

Shona: WHAT!?!?!? Why are we going there did you not hear the story!

Icarus: I heard!! But that way sounds a lot more fun!!

[Icarus smiles.]

Shona: And why are you so cheery all of a sudden?!

Kai: What are you talking about?

Shona: You were just crying in the corner a second ago!

Kai: Nope don't recall.

[Shona slowly shakes her head.]

Shona: You do know going there is a huge risk especially because those zombie carry a neurotoxin within so if you are scratch or bite you will turn into one of them.

Icarus:ok. THEN ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS NOT GET BIT!!

[Icarus smiles happily.]

Shona: I can’t believe you too. And the fact that I am going along with this.

[Shona buries her head into her hand shaking her head.]

Shona: I don’t understand why you guys want to go to your deaths so bad.

[Icarus smirks. He takes his index finger and taps his forehead.]

Icarus: We can’t go to our deaths if we survive.

[Shona punches Icarus.]

Shona: Shut up!

[Kai puts his hand on the door of the cart.]

Kai: Can we help you?

[He throws the door open. Everyone's attention turns to whos at the door. Outside the cart stands a woman.]

Kiroyu: Hello i’m Kiroyu!

[Kiroyu shyly blushes and bow.]
