Chad's Story

[iamnobody]

4 days later the alarms went off, signaling inbound traffic on the road. Chad and Lindsay took up defensive positions and waited. Soon 10 trucks with camper shells on the beds pulling trailers came into view and and lined up in the yard. A man got out of the 1st truck and looked around, then called out for Chad to come out and be hospitable. With a chuckle Chad stood up and motioned for Lindsay to stand up and she came and stood by his side.

The rest in the trucks got out, revealing 10 men, 10 women and 10 children. They drew near and looked from Chad to Lindsay, the head man shaking his head in disbelief. Looking at Lindsay, he asked how she had lassoed Chad, the woman hater, and whether Doc needed to examine him to see if he really was Chad.

Lindsay was looking from Chad to the men and saw they were cut from the same cloth. They all had that rough, no nonsense air to them and all of them were armed with handguns and rifles. In fact all the women had rifles and the older children also had rifles. Chad moved forward and embraced each man and then stood back. The head man then asked where should they pull their trucks and set up camp, Captain. Lindsay looks at Chad and silently mouths “Captain?”

Chad had them setup in an area off to the side. They basically set the trucks up in a circle and then set up latrines. Outdoor cooking was set up with fire pits. Tripods were set up over the pits and metal grills placed over the pits. Cast iron cookware was brought out and placed on the grills or suspended on the tripods. Chad and Lindsay were invited down in the evening.

They showed up after supper, bringing along folding chairs. When seated, the questions started, not about the current situation but about Chad getting married. The group knew about Chad's past and many women over the years had wanted to get closer to him but he had never let them.

He motioned for Lindsay to explain. She told them how she used to be “party girl Karen” and how she 1st met Chad by being shot down by muslims, him saving her and her trying to have him arrested for killing the muslims trying to kill her, their talks over the months, her “awakening” and her run in with SKYNET. The leader of the men looked at Chad and asked if he was poking SKYNET again. Chad assured him that he had not made the 1st move, SKYNET was after Lindsay because her family was working for SKYNET. He explained how SKYNET killed her dad and destroyed the family business. The evening was winding down and watches posted as they headed back to the cabin.

The next morning after breakfast, Chad called a meeting. When everyone was there except for the 2 guards, he started. Standing on a crate he told them that we all have known this was going to happen and it is now happening. They had all prepared as best as they could. The demonic SKYNET and its lackeys were taking over and a lot of people were blindly following the demonic orders.

Chad ordered the communication systems to be erected and operated. He ordered the “doc” to get the medical clinic set up. He wanted a report on readiness in an hour. Dismissed.

As Chad and Lindsay walked back to their cabin, she asked what was going on. Why was they calling him Captain and why was they so well prepared. He told her that they knew bad times were coming for a long time. As mercenaries, they had behind the scenes info from what they had seen and heard from governments and corporation CEOs. Chad and a lot of other mercenaries had decided they were not going to go along with and help this treason, against their country and against humanity.

So they started making plans and siphoning off war supplies bought by corporations. Weapons, ammo, clothing, food, comms and medical supplies. The supplies were shipped to different hidden storage areas across the country. Then they all “disappeared” from mercenary service. Chad told her that ½ of their mercenary operations were conducted right here in the US.

Lindsay looked at him and asked if they would survive. After a moment, he stopped, took her in his arms and looking into her eyes and told her he hoped so but to sit around and do nothing, they were sure to die. Lindsay shuddered, but then stood tall and told him as long as she was with him, that was all that mattered.

Chad's men had everything set up and was in contact with the many, various other groups that were part of it. He told Lindsay that there were a total of 200 groups around the country, 4 groups per State, including California too. The groups in California were considered to be deep in enemy territory. Even the north east part of the country was nasty. The place where the fight for liberty started was now a liberal, Karen and Kevin stronghold.

Chad organized the local townspeople and got them set up for their safety. He told them it was now going nationwide.

Chad and Lindsay were sitting on their porch, enjoying each others presence. The stars were covering the sky and giving testimony of God's greatness. He told her that he had come out here so as to have peace and quiet, hoping it would be a long time before he had to go to war again. That he wanted a lot more time alone with her. But it has started and they are as ready as they can be. He said it wasn't going to be easy and a lot of people were going to get hurt or killed. He said the country was going to resemble some 3rd world place with the war carnage that was coming. That ½ of the people would be fighting against them because those people had chose the path of evil. That when Chad and his men were victorious, the country would be in shambles from the war. It would be a long slow path back to “normal” again.

So much in this story that is happening. Expecially with topic of the churches and preachers today. Preaching the Gospel and spreading the word, taking care of widows and orphans, emulating Jesus in word and deed seems to be put on the back burner to the prosperity gospel, where material wealth is the goal. Churches today are more worried about what political party the member ship belongs to then teaching about discipleship and having a close relationship with Christ. IAM? Stop beating yourself up about the person you married. She chose those actions and deeds, you chose to follow your vows. Brother, you are a good man, she didn't define you and will not. A life lived with honor and love for Christ trumps any of the temporary feel good deals this fallen world has to offer. Your payback is your life well lived. Selfishly, I am glad they include your creative writing.

For the 1st year after she died, I would often ask myself what was wrong with me that forced her to be unfaithful. After all, I was raised that women were made of sugar and spice and everything nice. And there was no way a very conservative Christian wife was going to do the unthinkable and commit adultery, so it had to be something wrong with me.

I prayed for answers, I searched the bible for answers, I searched online on sites that talked about infidelity I am not perfect, never had been, never will be this side of Heaven. But peace finally came to me. I did not hold her down and force her to have sex with multiple men and women, multiple times over the years of my illusion of marriage to her. She made a free will choice when she repeatedly had sex with other men and women. When she spitefully used me to pay her bills and take care of her while she did me wrong.

In front of 100 people, she had made a vow to God to be faithful to me and she broke that vow. Her mother, I am not sure if she knew about her daughter being unfaithful, she has only talked a few words to me in the years since. But I won't tell her because she is 80+ and in poor health. Her 2 sisters both claim to be Christians but there is a high probability that 1 or both of them knew what her sister was doing. Both sisters do not talk to me and I have never told them about their sister. And I doubt they are reading my PAW stories, they are both very liberal.

The bright side is that my late wife and what I see other women doing, is giving me lots of writing material for stories.

I 1,000% agree that the vast majority of churches are cesspools, even the so called conservative ones. Rarely is the bible even opened during the service, even by the preacher. Most of the preachers are nothing more than hirelings tickling their congregation's ears. The preachers refuse to preach God's word for fear of offending someone and losing money in the collection plate. After all, he is due to get a new BMW and needs the money.

My personal opinion is that we are entering the last days with the falling away talked about in the bible. There is a big famine of God's word. Most “Christians” can't even tell you the basics of the bible and their basis for being a Christian is the fact that they have attended church service 2X a year since they were youngsters.

I have been kicked out of a church for “scaring” people by talking about current events and asking for prayer about them. The preacher walked me to the door in front of everyone and told me to never come back.

I have heard a preacher repeatedly from the pulpit tell his congregation that they should go willingly into a FEMA detainment center when the round ups start, so that they can preach the gospel there. I asked him if his wife and 20 year old daughter knew that they would be separated from him and what would happen to them.

I have heard a preacher, again from the pulpit, saying that bad talk was nonsense and people had been talking for years and it has always been the same. My mouth fell open as he just unknowingly quoted the bible verse against himself. The one about people scoffing , that things had stayed the same since their fathers slept.

I could go on and on but the churches are bad. Most of them have Jesus on the outside knocking to get in and the preacher tells him to go away because he is too radical and offensive.

Every evening the news was filled with video footage from the cities of “loyal” citizens dragging “rebels” out of their cars and homes for not conforming to SKYNET's official edicts. Beatings and killings occurred, cars and homes were burned as the “loyal” citizens danced with glee in the streets.

Chad and his group had a short rest and then they received word that there was a large group of alphabet agency people headed their way. Even some military “advisers” were in the group. Chad organized his men, sent warning to the townspeople and waited. Lindsay marveled at how Chad was handling things, she was a bundle of nerves. One of the women saw her tenseness and started talking with her. Told her it was always like this, you never really get used to it, you live with it and don't let it immobilize you.

Chad broke for lunch and spent it with Lindsay. He had picked a wild flower and gave it to her. A simple daisy but to her it was priceless because it was from him and he had made the simple gesture of picking it for her.

Word came in that the alphabet group was 2 hours out. They were 2 carloads of them, maybe 8-10 people. His men were asking him when they would be moving out to help the townspeople. He told them he wasn't, that was a diversion and the big attack would be against them here at the farm.

[feralferret]

And the suspense builds.

Thank you for another chapter.Looking forward to more.

[iamnobody]

Chad said the townspeople would be able to handle the small group coming against them. He expected a big group against them. He didn't think they would use air assets to transport in, wanting to sneak in.

On the radio, they heard as the alphabet agency group engaged in battle with the townspeople. Chad had his people on high alert as he talked with the radio operator at town. Leaving the ops tent, he was walking across the yard when his men notified him that the intrusion sensors were set off in the north. As they were talking, several loud explosions took place which Chad identified as the claymore mines in that area. He gave the order and in seconds the mortars he had were fired, impacting the area of intrusion.

Lindsay had been talking with the other women when she heard the “coughing” of the mortars and saw the other women and children diving behind sandbag emplacements. She figured she better join them. She asked 1 of the women what was going on and was told it was mortar rounds softening up the enemy coming at them, to have her weapon ready but to identify a target before shooting.

More sensors went off to the west, Chad realizing they were trying the old pincer movement. He had the mortar crew drop a few rounds in that direction and then into the sandbags to get ready. It wasn't long before Chad's 2 machine gun positions opened up and then he could hear the enemy firing back with what sounded like M4s.

Lindsay was half up, looking over the sandbags at where the shooting was coming from. Chad pulled her down just as several bullets hit the tops of the bags and spraying sand over them. He kissed her and told her to be careful, he didn't want to lose his wife.

She could hear shooting coming from 2 directions at them. Chad was returning fire and directing the defense. She could smell burnt gunpowder and smoke was in the air. She saw the other women, crouched but alert as the battle raged on.

Slowly the battle was ending, there was less shots coming at them and Chad had his men attacking the enemy. Shoot and move forward, shoot and move forward. The last of the attackers were retreating. They heard several more claymore explosions in the woods as the retreating enemy got careless and weren't watching where they were running.

Suddenly 1 of the “dead” enemy got up behind Chad and Lindsay instinctively shot a 3 round burst into the enemy who went down. Chad whirled around and saw what had happened. Lindsay walked over to Chad, then looking down at the dead man, she saw the holes in him, blood seeping from the wounds. Looking at Chad she said its not like in the war movies she had watched. Reality was different. Turning, she bent over retching til it was just dry heaves.

Chad took some water and cleaned her mouth off and then hugged her. He told her it was a normal reaction to killing someone. She asked if it ever went away and he said it happened every time afterwards of killing. That if someone stopped feeling it, or worse, liked the killing, it was time to get them off the battlefield.

He had his men cleaning up from the battle. The battle at town was over and no loss of life for the townspeople but all 10 of the enemy was dead. The group that attacked Chad's position turned out to be 30 men. The claymores and mortars had taken out a lot of them. Going through their identification they found papers from CIA, FBI, DHS, IRS and 5 US Army soldiers.

Thank you for another excellent chapter.

Later that night Lindsay asked him if it was over now. He told her it was just starting. That it was bigger than just their battle, the demonic takeover was in full swing, just look at the things that SKYNET was doing and how many people were doing its bidding. If it wasn't stopped, the US and the world would come to resemble the “world” that was shown in horror movies when demons took over. She shuddered and said if it must be done, she would be standing with him.

SKYNET news reported that it had raided many towns and groups, arresting or killing domestic terrorists. But word coming in over their comms from other groups was a different story. The groups were holding their own. Chad told his group that it was great that they had won but to expect more attacks and stronger ones. He reminded them this was also a spiritual war and be prepared for that. He reminded them of things they had seen before. He asked the preacher to beef up his sermons on spiritual battle and was told he had already planned on that. He had been feeling led to do that over the past week.

Chad's group had a respite from battle over the next week and he daily reminded his people to be alert to anything and always use the buddy system, doing everything in pairs of 2.

Around 3AM Lindsay woke up in a cold sweat, feeling disorganized and fear, lots of fear. She looked around and then at the window where she saw something straight out of a satanic horror show. It laughed at her, exposing a mouthful of sharp pointed teeth while pointing at her.

She screamed which brought Chad wide awake, reaching for his rifle next to the bed. On his feet, looking around, he spots the thing at the window and starts letting loose several 3 round bursts. The creature is gone and all that is left is the echo of its laughter as it left.

The camp is awake and is like an anthill that has been kicked. People are in battle mode, taking up positions behind sandbags, trying to find out what is going on. Gunfire erupts in the woods followed by screams of pain, then silence. Chad and Lindsay had hurriedly got dressed and joined the camp, yelling out who they were. He had a roll call to make sure everyone was accounted for, men, women and children. Everyone was present except for the 2 roving guards.

It was starting to get light now, so Chad took 1 other man with him to go check the guards. He went towards where the gunfire and shooting had come from. Moving cautiously, he soon came across the guards, or rather their bodies. 1 had his throat ripped out and the other 1 had the side of his head smashed in. They found a heavy blood trail leading away. They radioed in what they had found and were following the blood. They followed it for 200 yards til they found the body of the thing. It was big, about 10 feet tall, and hairy, no clothes or weapons, it was dead. Chad and the other man had seen this type of creature before.

Back at the cabin, he sent 4 men out in full ammo loadouts to get the bodies of the guards and bring them back. Then to dispose of the creature's body. There was a lot of crying from the guard's wives and children from their loss. When the men went out after the creature, the body was gone.

[feralferret]

Wow! I wasn't expecting that.

Thanks for the new chapter.

[iamnobody]

Later when they were alone, Lindsay asked him what kind of creature was that she had seen. He told her it was some type of demonic creature and they had seen them in several parts of the world. They were strong and ruthless. And to answer her next unspoken question, it had come to her because her family had worked closely with SKYNET and had demonic ties. Just like a demonic spirit can attach its self to a thing. He told her that most people were not aware of how much the spiritual war was crossed over into the physical world.

Chad told her he would like to do serious bible studies with her, that she needed to get saved and have Jesus as her own Saviour. She said she was already saved because ever since she was a child, she had went to church 2X a year on Christmas and Easter and her family had always put a large amount of money in the collection plate every time. He told her that a person can not earn or buy their way into Heaven. That evening he started the bible studies with her about salvation.

Over the next few weeks, Chad's group was attacked several times by small groups. It was more of harassment probes than a serious attack. Throughout the nation, other people were rising up and resisting too. Not many though, as most people were siding with SKYNET. He reminded Lindsay that during the Revolutionary War, that only 2-3% of the people fought against the British. He told her that SKYNET was offering the illusion of a better life under it, just like the serpent told Eve she would be as gods if she partook of the forbidden fruit against God's commandment and they all knew how that turned out.

SKYNET was almost completely in charge of things. The vast majority of people were willingly following the new rules and loving it. They were turning in neighbors, friends and even family that weren't obeying. Electricity, phones service, food delivery were stopped to any area where trouble was caused. So people in those areas were quick to turn in any one rebelling against SKYNET. The Kevin and Karen sheeples didn't want any one rocking the boat of their new utopia.

From the other groups reporting from around the country, it was the same there. Most people were so caught up in having all their needs and wants taken care of without having to work for it.

The next attack on Chad's group came on a moonless and overcast night at 2AM. Chad and Lindsay were awakened by the alarm siren blasting its warning call. With everyone assembled and behind the sandbags, he was filled in on what was happening. A tripwire sensor had been set off and now thermal imaging was showing a large mass moving towards them. As Chad was watching, the large mass separated and became 15 “hot spots” on the screen.

The attackers charged across the field at his group's position. Chad ordered illumination rounds to be sent up, which revealed 15 of the large, hairy beasts charging at them. The beasts started howling and snarling as they closed in on them.

[feralferret]

Beasts? I wasn't expecting that.

[iamnobody]

Chad and Lindsay saw a beast coming at them, teeth showing and drool flying from its lips as it snarled. Chad opened fire and she did too. It seemed like the beast was unfazed by the rounds that were hitting it. Between him and her, there must have been close to 30 rounds in it already and it was still coming. Chad kept shooting and she followed his example but her instinct was to try running away. As it was reaching for them, it finally stopped and slowly collapsed across the stack of sandbags, its face near hers. She saw the eyes and saw its life slowly leave it.

Looking around, Chad saw the beasts retreating. His people were all accounted for but several had some gash wounds from the beasts. 2 other beasts were laying dead. Lindsay was shaking as she asked if it was over but Chad told her they were just regrouping. One of the men was bringing a crate and dropping one off at every position. Thinking it was ammo to top off their magazines, Lindsay opened their crate. Instead of ammo, it was a weird looking rifle thingie that looked like it was from some Sci Fi movie.

She didn't have a chance to ask questions before the beasts made another charge. Chad and Lindsay emptied a full magazine and then Chad yelled “NOW.” The men picked up the new rifles and she heard the rifles powering up as the beasts were 50 feet away. He aimed the rifle at an oncoming beast and suddenly she saw a beam of light shoot across the gap and the beast dropped with ½ of its chest gone. Another beast turned to run away and he shot it in the back, she seeing ½ of its back gone. The fight was over in less than 30 seconds this time.

All 15 beasts were dead and Chad had his men cleaning up the area and disposing of the bodies. Lindsay asked him what that “rifle thingie” was. He told her that thingie was a weapon that they had “liberated” from the corporations and government they once worked for.

Even back then the corporations and government knew they were working with demonic forces but they wanted the power and riches that came with it. The demonic spirits created creatures to help carry out their agenda. That they had encountered various different types of creatures over time. Chad sent word out on the comms to the other groups about the creatures.

As months went by, the average person started feeling the heavy hand of SKYNET as it now flexed its power. The average person was now having their digital money turned off because they were overweight or using too much carbon credits. Christianity was outlawed and church goers were looking in disbelief at the preachers who had preached “obey the government.”

[udwe]

Wow!

[iamnobody]

Over the next few weeks, quite a few of those “Caesar preachers” were found dead in a gutter. Rumor had it that people of their congregations were angry and took care of the Caesar preachers.

Sitting on the porch 1 evening, Lindsay asked Chad about the beasts, how many were there and where at. He told her he wasn't sure how many because they were constantly being made more of and that they were all over the world.

He told her the fallen angels have always been making their own creatures. Just as God made creatures, Satan imitated God and tampered with DNA and made his own creatures that way. He asked if she remembered the legends of Roman and Greek mythology of many creatures that were ½ man or woman and ½ creature. He said those “myths” had a lot of truth in them. The same as “folklore” here in the US of people seeing demonic creatures. The government and big churches downplayed it as lies because they didn't want people knowing how real the bible is and how much the spiritual world was coming over into the physical world. After all, God destroyed the world via a flood because of all the wickedness of everything, not just mankind. Satan and his fallen angels had corrupted everything, even to the taking of women and having offspring with them. Chad reminded her that they were in not just a physical battle but a spiritual battlefield too. She shuddered and leaned in tight against him as he stared out into the night, praying that God would give him the strength and wisdom he needed for this battle.
