In The End/Chapter 13: The Blade

This is the thirteenth chapter of In The End.

Story

 * Day 29 Of The Zombie Apocalypse
 * Dave was walking to Father Adam's office to discuss plans with the Church of the Chosen Ones.

Adam: How should we attack the hotel group. They'll pay for killing my wife!

Samson: How about we take them here and force them to kill themselves?

Adam: Not a bad idea.

Dave: How about we cut off their supply route and starve them to death.

Adam: Even better. They'll go to hell for not opening their eyes to God. Craig: How about let's all go to heaven.
 * Outside, Craig is commanding people to kill themselves.

Unnamed mom: Don't take me away from my son. Please!

Craig: Grab this gun, and shoot yourself in the head.

Unnamed mom: You can't do this! *cries*

Craig: Kill yourself or I'll kill you! Dominic: No. No way am I killing myself.
 * The unnamed mother shoots herself in the head. Many other people kill themselves. One man refuses.

Craig: Go back to you cell! You're clearly not opening your eyes to God. Dominic: Don't hurt me!
 * Dominic was sent back to his cell.
 * Day 30 Of The Zombie Apocalypse
 * A panicked Dominic is sitting in his cell when Dave opens the door.

Dave: I didn't come to hurt you. I wanted to talk to you.

Dominic: About what?

Dave: About a lot of things. First of all, I'm doubting my position in this church, if I can even call it that.

Dominic: Yes.

Dave: I'm also seeing a lot of death here and I think I might go insane if I stay here any longer.

Dominic: Please get me out of this human slaughterhouse!

Dave: I will.

Dominic: Don't you have people who miss you?

Dave: *Has flashes in his mind of the good memories of his group* Yes. I'm breaking you out of here.

Dominic: I've waited for someone to say that for a month!

Adrien: I see you're breaking him out, Dave. I knew you were not messed up like these people.
 * Dave and Dominic are trying to walk past the guards when someone shows up.

Dave: I know. I don't wanna be associated with these lunatics who turn Christianity from a religion of love into a religion of death and despair.

Adrien: I know.

Dave: Aren't you dead?

Adrien: No, they forced me to fake my death so your group wouldn't break me out.

Dave: I see.

Dominic: They're obsessed with following God so they view leaving the Church as leaving God. Adrien: I'm glad to be out of that hellhole.
 * They maneuver past the security guards and out of the prison.

Dominic: I second that. Lucas and Amy: Dave! *both hug Dave*
 * The group arrives at the hotel.

Dave: I missed you little guys.

Dominic: I haven't seen a happy kid in so long.

Lane: I thought you were dead, Adrien!

Adrien: I'm glad I'm alive and in a safe place.

Olivia: Not as safe as you hoped it would.

Jessica: I'm just glad you're back, Dave!

Stephen: I knew you still had a heart, Dave!

Jacob: I second that. Craig: He escaped!
 * Back at the church, Craig opens Dominic's cell only to find it empty.

Adam: Where's Dave?!

Craig: He must have helped Dominic escape.

Adam: As payback, we are excommunicating Dave from our church. We are also carrying out our plan to starve the group by cutting off all their supply routes.

Craig: I love it!
