I wasn't planning on posting the next part of the story or even writing anything last night but it just won't let me be.
Plus the +2's fill my hedonistic needs.
Links to parts 1 through 5.

NECROSIAC 6 - 4 days later
Terri went into the light.
She didn't give a crap what Hollywood said, she'd been in the vast unending darkness of wherever the hell she was long enough. She supposed the place had a name. Purgatory... Hades... whatever. It was cold there, cold and lonely and goddamned boring, so when she saw the pinprick of light piercing the darkness that was her prison she didn't hesitate in the slightest. She floated into its blinding glare and immediately wished she hadn't.
Pain exploded in her head and back as the blinding brilliance faded to a bright red. At first she fought against it, willing herself back into the void she'd been so quick to leave behind, the painless comfort of the never ending cold. Far off in the distance she heard a familiar voice moan, then another call her name. They sounded a thousand miles away and empty, like the murmurings of past memories looking for a home. She heard her name called again, louder this time but still barely above a whisper. It seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. She wanted to answer it, but her new prison was worse then the one she'd just come from. She couldn't move, and although the pain in her head and back were subsiding she could feel her whole body begin to ache, and damned if that red light wasn't annoying as all hell.
"Terri"
She knew that voice from somewhere she was sure, it was a man's voice, someone she should know but the new sensations were confusing her. Her thoughts felt disjointed, and she was having a hard time focusing her mind on anything but the desire to go back to Hades. For a second she wondered if she'd gone to hell and this was how she was going to spend the rest of eternity.
"Terri... c'mon"
She heard the moan again but clear this time and she recognized it as hers. She heard her name called again, the tone almost urgent. She hated the sound of the voice. It made her feel helpless. It annoyed her. In fact she was becoming almost as annoyed with it as she was with the red light. Couldn't whoever was calling her name see she was trapped? What did they fucking expect from her?
"Open your eyes Kiddo."
Terri opened her eyes. The red light disappeared and the blinding white light was back, all at once the Fourth of July and New Years Y2K went off in her head. She cried out in pain and snapped them shut again.
"Oh shit" said the voice, and almost immediately she heard the click of a switch being toggled beside her head.
"There, try again"
Gingerly she forced her lids open again and did her best to make sense of the blurry grayness around her. It hurt to focus, but then it hurt to not focus so she did her best to make sense out of her surroundings. Even with the eerie green glow cast by the displays on the medical instruments around the head of her bed, she recognized the Agency recovery room. She'd been in it at least twice over the last two years visiting wounded agents. She wondered what the hell she was doing there.
Slowly, almost reluctantly, her memories of the antique shop played themselves out in her mind. Disjointed images of twilight shadows coming for her and vague recollections of fear and anger filled the foggy space where her thoughts lay. She fought for control of them and played with the images like a puzzle until they all seemed to snap into place at once and she felt finally, gratefully, grounded in reality.
Her vision was clearing up and she decided to turn her attention to her aching body. She tested herself systematically, first moving an arm, a leg, toes and fingers. Everything ached but worked nonetheless.
"Go easy"
That voice again. She'd forgotten about it. Slowly she turned her head to the side, doing her best to ignore the creaking protestations of her neck.
Mattaius Pitt looked back at her with a smug smile on his face.
"Damn I'm good. You know they had a bunch of Clerics in here for about 12 hours chanting like idiots? In the end all it took was a few hours of reading Reader's Digest to you... well about 8 hours but who's counting."
Mattaius reached to the stand beside her head and placed a small paper back book on a pile of others.
Terri's vision still wasn't perfect but she could see well enough to discern the bags under Mattaius eyes and the unfamiliar roundness of his face.
"Matt...You look like shit" she croaked.
Mattaius chuckled and took her hand. "I've been better...You look like your ready for the Prom. How do you feel besides shitty?"
Terri coughed once and when she spoke again the croak had turned into a dry whisper.
"Everything aches... how long have I been out?"
"4 days or so... They tell me you put up one hell of a fight, took out a bunch of Shufflers and some badass Necro that they are having trouble identifying, probably because he's in a billion pieces in the morgue. Bruce Campbell would be proud."
Terri coughed again, and Mattaius picked up something out of eyesight on the nightstand beside her. He brought a small cup with a straw to her parched lips and slid a hand between her shoulder blades to help prop her up enough to drink. "Here take a sip".
The water was cool and soothing. She could feel the inside of her mouth greedily soak up the heavenly moisture. Mattaius pulled the cup away after a couple of seconds and gently let her down again. "Not too much at once. Dr Matt's orders"
Terri weakly raised a hand and gave him the finger.
"My back's killing me" she said.
"I don't doubt it. You have a bruise on it the size of a football" Mattaius grin was cut short and replaced with a look of uncomfortable embarrassment. "I uh kind of barged in when the nurse was sponging you"
Terri didn't care, despite the pain in her body she could feel herself start to drift into a warm deep slumber.
"I just need to close my eyes for a couple of minutes"
"No worries" said Mattaius as he retrieved the paperback from the nightstand. "I need to find out if Molly is going to have Charles baby anyways"
"You don't have to stay" she whispered, her eyes closing of their own accord.
"Spank you too. I wouldn't be doing a good job as your new partner if I didn't stick around now would I?"
Mattaius knew even before he'd finished that Terri was already asleep. He quietly replaced the book on the nightstand and shed the jovial mask he'd been wearing for her.
He didn't look forward to the next time she woke up.
The last thing he wanted was to be the one to break the news to her, but he knew if anyone did it should be him. They had been through too much together in the service for him to shrug off the responsibility to someone else. Terri was the closest thing to family that he had.
The fragmentation grenade inside the corpse of the Necromancer had pulverized a good portion of the room including its two occupants. He'd seen the video footage from the security camera. He guessed if there was any consolation to be found it was that her brother Brian didn't know what hit him.

Not a problem, always glad to be of service. I am not sure who I saw that from originally, it may have been Filthy Assistant. Someone "across the pond" for sure.

Actually, I said twatwaffle was a favorite. Possibly you should work on your reading comprehension?
And I am a woman, kleenex and lotion aren't really a required element. Now, well charged batteries do come in useful. Thanks for your concern. You're such a doll.

If you consider "fucktwat" to be a "favorite", you're a bigger dumbass than I thought was physically possible, shitforbrains.
Get a hobby that doesn't involve a magazine and a box of Kleenex.
And Snark...get your nose out of that dipshit's ass. That can't possibly help your writing.

Full time fucktwat, and such a witty one to boot.
My favorite is twatwaffle. I don't remember who I saw that gem from first (someone here), but it is great in regular conversation. It is like throwing a silence grenade followed by a LOLOLOMG!!!!111!!11one1!!BBQ grenade.
Get back to writing, damnit. You shouldn't be lollygagging! Part 7, man!

Shlongy you fucktwat, what part of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is confusing to you? Doof! Try the first 4 and see how it goes. If you like horror writing at all, you should enjoy it. Unless you are one of those full time fucktwats that Uber houses. Are you a full time fucktwat, Shlongy?
Uhhhh, dipshit...if I wanted your opinion, I would have checked the bowl after my morning smash.

AshK you would definitely get emails :)
I wouldn't worry about it though, I didn't mean to imply that I was going to stop posting.
Shlongy, I have no problem at all if someone doesn't like my story or the way I write, but IMHO rating the story out of context is gay.
"Fucktwat" HAHAHAHA I'm going to have to use that...

I did a happy dance before I opened this post.
If you decide Uber has lost interest in this, and you stop posting, and you don't email me each install ment, I will find you and flip you the bird. Yeah, that's what I'll do.

Sorry Lucky,
I don't think this is going to be done anytime soon. Even if there was no interest here. I will still write it, just wouldn't post it.

It's strange Cryo. I sit down with an idea for the next story and a couple hours later look up and the first draft is more of less done. I'm just as surprised as anyone else at some of the stuff on my screen. I am having a BLAST writing it.
