Zombies From The Future

Chapter 3

In the British camp, a contrast to the scene happening in the Chinese camp was taking place.

General Lina paced forth and back endlessly in her chamber feeling impatient. A voices from outside her tent made her stop in her track.

"General, the Captain has arrived."

Lina walked out of her tent for the first time today. She looked glorious, elegant and intimidating as she made her way to the Captain.

"Greetings General" the Captain greeted her as soon as she arrived, then his subordinates did the same.

She answered with a nod before proceeding to ask. "Did you bring her?"

The captain hesitated for a while before answering. "Yes General, we brought her." A very rare smile broke out on Lina's face.

"You've done well brother," she said and gave him a tight hug, "Tomorrow, victory shall be ours" she added.

"Take her and lock her up, make sure she's unable to use her powers." She ordered before turning to leave. However, after a few steps, she stopped and added "If she tries to escape or do anything crazy, do not hesitate to kill her" her words were low but firm.

As she left to return to her tent, her brother followed her. When they arrived inside the tent, she walked to the table to fetch tea for herself.

"Tea?" She asked.

" No, thanks."

She took her tea and walked to the arm chair in the tent. She looked at him with curiosity in her eyes.

"What do you want to say?" She asked immediately after sipping her tea. He cleared his throat and spoke "I gave the princess my word" he started, Lina frowned her brows in confusion.

"What do you mean." She said as she sat straight on the arm chair. She saw a hint of fear in her brother's eyes, but she didn't care. "Speak up dammit!!" She yelled in anger and impatient.

"I promised to protect her and makes sure she returns home safely." He hesitated before adding "And I will keep my words even if it means going against you."

Amusement flashes in Lina's eyes before it was replaced by anger and disappointment.

"Captain! You are my soldier and my brother but that doesn't give you any right to go against your General. I will not hesitate to cut off your head if need be, the last thing I need now is a liability to my army. You speak to your General with such disrespect all because of a girl? And not just any girl but the enemies daughter." Lina said angrily.

" I sent you on a mission to get the princess not give her your word... Besides you're in no position to give her your word because I am the general here, the higher authority here in the battlefield and as a soldier you must obey my orders. Am I clear?!." Lina said with so much fury.

" Ahhhhhhhh!!" A loud scream was heard after Lina's long speech.

Both Lina and her brother ran out with their sword. When dey got out they asked and were told that the screaming was from prison where the princess was kept. Charles ran as fast as his legs could go to the prison while Lina walked majestically. On reaching, she saw the princess weeping in the arms of her brother with his coat covering her almost naked body. Her eyes shone with anger.

"What the hell happened here?" She asked calmly while starring at the soldiers in charge of guarding the princess. "No- nothing General" the soldiers said trembling in fear. "Are you saying I am blind? Cause this clearly doesn't look like nothing happened here" she still said calmly but this time there was a hint of anger in her voice because she already figured from the beginning what happened.

The soldiers moved back in fear before answering "We- we just wanted t-to see how she lo-looked na-ked." The already ready angry Lina looked like a demoness as she turned to look at the weeping girl in her brother's arms and back at the two soldiers.

"So you two wanted to have fun right? No problem I like fun too." She said as she turned to four other soldiers "Bring the both of them to the training ground cause we're about to have fun."

After that she left her brother and the princess and headed straight to the training ground. Every soldier was present except for the Captain.

"Tonight we're all going to have fun with this two soldiers." She announced "Bring me a table!" She ordered to no one in particular but the order was carried out immediately. When the table was brought out, a sinister smile appeared on her face.

"Place their hands on the table." Their hands were placed tightly on the table, and in a swift move, the General's sword chopped off all twenty fingers within the blink of an eye.
