Tonight was supposed to be just an ordinary lunar eclipse.
But something’s different this time around. The full moon is already high in the sky.
Clouds shroud it from sight one minute, and the next they’re gone, revealing the moon to
no longer be its usual white light, but rather something much more sinister. As though
bathed in blood, its reddish hue gives off a frightening appearance.
It’s a blood moon.
It’s a late night in Stronghold.
Two men, normally unlikely to cross paths, happen to be in the same bar at the same time.
Gray Pierre and
Ian Donnaghan are enjoying the night and some drinks when the blood moon appears, casting a gruesome red light through the windows of the bar. The change hits the Level V Infected like a train, forcing them against their will to change into their more bestial side. Fangs come out and eyes glow in the dark; there is no mistaking their true nature now.
While the bar is not packed, it is filled with enough humans to become a mob of witnesses to the unfortunate circumstances of the blood moon. Their cries fill the air as they realize the danger they're in, and they panic. A stampede is formed as they desperately run for the exits, trampling one another as they try desperately calling out for Military intervention.
Anyone who leaves the bar, becomes a risk of exposing the two Infected....
