God Save The Queen

Chapter 2 POV Dylan

POV Dylan

Since the effects from the bomb had wore off every man had been left with an ability to smell females. Since that first bomb the world had changed so much and I had went from being a drug dealer to running a large community of men in the centre of Dublin. Although the bomb hadn’t destroyed any buildings or killed anyone when it went off it had still ended civilisation. The bomb had seemed like red fire works going off but actually it was letting off chemicals in to the air and the chemicals only effected the men. It was surreal when the effects wore off. I woke up in an abandoned shopping mall surrounded by at least 60 guys. We were all a little groggy and none of us knew how we had got there. After a while some of us left the mall and as we walked along the once busy high street there was no one there. There was no traffic and the shops and houses were boarded up. It was like the world had ended. As we walked further into town we spotted a group of woman walking and they were carrying large buckets of water. The women looked tired and dirty and I was desperate to know what was going on. One of the men called out to them and the woman looked terrified. They instantly dropped the buckets and started to run away from us. It was like they were running for their lives. It clearly wasn’t safe for anyone to be outside and it was getting dark so we decided to go back to the mall for the night. As we walked back I could smell that there was a woman near by. I couldn’t explain it but one of the other men sniffed the air and out of no where he started to howl like a wolf. When he stoped he looked just as shocked as we were. Then we heard a woman scream. We ran towards the scream and there was three men surrounding her trying to calm her down. When she seen us she became hysterical. It was awful to see this poor woman so terrified. I wanted to calm her down so I shouted as loud as I could that we didn’t want to hurt her and that we didn’t know what was going on. I told all the men to step back and they did as they were told. She was shocked and I asked her what was going on. Myself and all the men stood quietly as she explained what had happened in the past 18 months. I couldn’t believe my ears. The whole of mankind had nearly came to an end because some crazy chemical bomb had went off and men started attacking woman. She said that we stalked them in packs and that we couldn’t speak but that our eyes were blood red and the only thing we could do was howl. I was so confused because none of us had any memory of that time. The woman went into detail about all the awful things that men were doing and I felt sick to my stomach. The thought of woman and girls living in fear tore at my heart. After that the woman left and myself and the men went back to the mall to let the other guys know what we’d learned. The guys there couldn’t believe what had happened. Some of the men left to find their wives or girlfriends but nearly every one of them returned within a few days. They all said that their homes were deserted. That’s when we all decided to live together in the mall because it was safe and comfortable, after a while they were looking for a leader, they needed someone to take charge so I stepped up. I was by far the alpha of the group of men and I had ran a large drug organisation before all that had happened. After a couple of months we had a pretty good set up in the mall. We stayed away from any women or children that lived in the area because we had already put them all through so much so we decided to write letters to the women that lived in the homes near by to let them know that they were safe from us and that if they needed anything from the shops in the mall that they could let us know and we could deliver anything to them. By the next winter they had requested warm bedding and coats and kids clothes. After that we slowly gained their trust. We decided to have a party at the mall and one of the men put on a Santa suit he found and handed out toys from the toy shop to all the kids. I spoke to a few of the women and they thanked me and said that they had decided to go to a place called Sutton Manor. One of the kids was sick and the food supplies were low and they needed help. I asked about Sutton Manor and they said that it was run by a woman, they called her the Queen. They said that the queen and her women killed men on sight. They said that she lived in a large country manor surrounded by huge walls and that they grew their own food. Some of the women were doctors and nurses and there was lots of other kids there. This place sounded great and I was happy for them that they were going somewhere safe for the children. I told them that there was lots of cars parked in the car park of the mall and that they could help themselves to as many cars as they needed for their journey. The women thanked me for helping them but I was still worried about them so I offered some of the men to go with them to protect them on their journey. One of the women shook her head. “Dylan thank you but she tortures and kills any man that dares to go within a few miles of Sutton Manor” I couldn’t believe that there was actually people out there hurting each other when we were all just trying to survive. I thought that maybe these stories about the queen and her women were exaggerated to keep men away from Sutton Manor but as it turns out I didn’t know the half of it.

I said goodbye to the women and a few months later it was spring. I went up to the roof of the mall one day to fix the solar panels when I caught the scent of a woman. It was intoxicating. I stood there for over an hour breathing her in. I could smell the local women before but nothing like this. I eventually went down stairs and later that night I couldn’t sleep because I couldn’t stop thinking about her so I ran back up to the roof and to my delight I could still smell her. This went on for weeks and I couldn’t get her out of my head. One night I couldn’t help myself. I stood on the roof and sniffed the air and stroked my d**k until I came. I could tell that she was far away but I wanted her more than anything. None of my men had been up on the roof so I was glad that they couldn’t smell her or want her for themselves. I convinced my best men that we had to go out in search of food. I told them I could hunt and to my surprise they believed me. We hadn’t had any fresh meat in over a year and I had always controlled them through there stomachs. We packed up a few things and as we left I told them to cover their faces because I didn’t want any of them to smell her. I made up some bullshit that the air wasn’t clear since the bomb went off and that in the country we might turn back to what happened before and none of us wanted that. We set out in an abandoned white van from outside the mall. I had at least 10 men with me and they all got into the back as I drove. Every now and then I would pull over and pretend to the men that I was checking the back of the van but when I got out I would sniff the air and to my delight I knew we were getting closer to her. I was trying to imagine what she was going to be like and I couldn’t stop fantasising about this mystery woman. All I knew was that I wanted her. We travelled for a couple of hours and I pulled over again and this time I knew she was close. We were in a valley and I looked up the hill and I could see a woman picking apples from a tree and I knew immediately that it was her. Her scent filled the air around me and I needed her more and more with every passing second. I parked the van and told the men to stay there and that I needed to climb up the hill to see where the road was leading us. I made my way up the steep hill and all the time I could smell her sweet scent stronger. By the time I got to her she had her back to me. She was wearing a white dress and her long dark hair was blowing in the light breeze. I didn’t know what to say I was suddenly shy. “Hello my names Dylan, I’ve came all the way from Dublin to find you.” I expected her to turn around but she just said “Really?” as she continued to pick apples. She still had her back to me and I was able to take in her beautiful body. I was surprised that she was on her own and although the effects of the bomb had wore off over a year ago women were still understandably jumpy around men, but she was cool and I wondered if she had been expecting me. “I know this sounds crazy, but I felt like I had to come and see you. I could smell you….I know it doesn’t make sense” she carried on picking apples and she still wouldn’t turn to look at me. “Listen, I know I must sound nuts and I don’t deserve you to give me the time of day but I felt like I had to come and see you…” I was aware that I was beginning to sound like a stalker “are you going to say any thing?” I asked and she let out a sigh “You’re a brave man to come here” I looked around and in the distance I could see a huge country Manor House surrounded by a huge wall. “Is that Sutton Manor? I’ve heard stories about that place” I said and I could hear the fear in my own voice “you’re men are already dead and I’m going to need your van” she said calmly, then she stoped what she was doing and turned to face me. I was terrified but she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen before. She had long dark hair, tanned skin and beautiful blue eyes. Her gorgeous full red lips and long eyes lashes made her look like a beauty queen but her tiny waist and huge t**s made her look like a porn star. If I hadn’t been so terrified I would have howled until my face turned blue. “Why are you looking at me like that?” She asked “I’m sorry, but you’re absolutely beautiful” she shook her head and put her hands on her hips “I’ve just told you that your friends are dead and your thinking with your d**k? You men make me sick” She was right, what was I doing? I looked down the hill and there was a bunch of woman dressed all in black stepping out of the van. “Those men were innocent, they didn’t do anything wrong” she stepped towards me and although she was only a tiny little thing she was intimidating “they came here, that was their first mistake. And I have to tell you, none of you are innocent. How many woman did you and your men torture and r**e after the bomb went off?” I couldn’t answer her because I had no idea what I had done or who I’d hurt, I hung my head in shame. “I don’t know if I r***d anyone, we woke up after 18 months with no memory” she laughed “yeah that’s what they all say. Well isn’t it convenient that you can’t remember the hell you put women through but we have to live with it every day, I wish we could forget what you did to us” she said and I felt like I could have cried for her. She had obviously been through a lot over those 18 months and here I was cornering her on her own. “I shouldn’t have come here, I’ll go, I didn’t mean any harm” she stepped forward again “you’re going no where. I’m going to kill you as soon as I’ve finished with these apples” she said with a smirk and I felt my heart beating out of my chest. Then out of no where a woman climbed down from the tree, she was dressed in black and she was wearing a black cap and shades “I’m sorry to interrupt you, but if you don’t mind can you not kill him. I’d like to keep him.” She was talking about me like I was a lost puppy “I promise I will look after him and feed him and if he’s bad I’ll slit his throat myself. Please, please, please” she begged and the beautiful woman smiled and I felt my legs go weak “of course you can keep him, but if I hear him howling he’s a dead man” The woman jumped up and down on the spot “oh thank you” she squealed and she walked towards me. Five other woman climbed down from the surrounding trees and I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t noticed any of them before. They all had huge swords with them and they surrounded me like I was their prey “well Dylan you have a choice, unlike you we’re not rapists. Do you want to live with Molly and give her children or do you want to die” the woman Molly took off her hat and sunglasses and she was kind of cute with her curly blonde hair and over the top smile. But I didn’t come there for her, I wanted the beautiful woman that’s scent was driving me crazy, but I did what any wimp would do, I agreed to live with Molly. I looked at the beautiful woman and nodded my head “good boy, now what do you say?” I looked at Molly and she mouthed something to me but I couldn’t make her out. I looked back to the beautiful woman “God save the Queen” chanted all of the women. I stuttered for a moment and then finally said it. “God save the queen” she smiled again and I felt like I was in some kind of crazy nightmare “Good boy, now Molly take him back to the house. Some of the woman can go with you.” She turned away from me and continued to pick the apples “The rest of us will stay here and wait for more rapists to show up. My god I must smell amazing I think we’ve killed at least 30 of them this week” she said and all the woman laughed. I couldn’t believe what was happening as a tall woman dragged me down the hill and past the van of my men. Their bodies were being thrown out of the van onto the side of the road and I wanted to vomit. They were covered in blood and they weren’t just killed they had been tortured. One of my men was still alive and Molly went over with a big smile and stuck a knife into his throat. I heard my friend take his last breath and Molly kept smiling at me like it was no big deal. Civilisation had ended but I had no idea that the world had changed this much. Myself and my men had been sheltered in the shopping mall. This outside world made me see that men were now second class citizens and that we had to pay for our crimes even if we couldn’t remember what we had done.
