Skyler

“Sky!”

Bishop and I both jump at the sound of my name as it rings through the trees.

“Sky!”

“Oh fuck, is that Holt?” Bishop whispers, pushing to stand. He pulls me with him, but I crumble back down to the ground with a shout as pain in my thigh rips through me like lightning.

I reach down, expecting to find some kind of wound, a cut or scrap. Instead, my hand meets the end of a stick and I let out a whimper when I realize what that means.

Fuck.

I know better than to pull it out, but I’ll be damned if that’s not my first instinct, anyway.

“Sky,” Bishop hisses, dropping back down to the ground with me. His confusion is clear in his voice.

“I can’t walk,” I tell him, gritting my teeth against the pain that’s now becoming my main focus. It wasn’t so bad when I was distracted, but as the adrenaline from Bridget’s attempt to kill me wears off, it’s all I can focus on.

I hear Holt before he comes through the trees. It’s impossible not to as he stomps and stumbles his way around like a herd of elephants.

Even with limited visibility, I can see that he’s buck naked, and as he stumbles closer, I know Bridget’s story wasn’t fake. Squinting, I can just make out the glossy white of his eyes and the dark trails she said were blood that runs from his eyes. Dark marks litter his skin, some simply red and raised, while others appear to be bleeding.

He looks crazed as he spins this way and that, searching for me despite his inability to see. Part of me feels bad, wanting to call out and tell him I’m here. But a much bigger part of me, the one that longs to survive tonight, tells me to stay quiet.

Neither Bishop nor I say a word, not daring to move as he stumbles around, slowly moving toward us. At this rate, he’ll happen upon us in just a few minutes, and I’m in no condition to flee. I try to push Bishop away, hoping he’ll get the idea and make a run for it, but he refuses, shaking his head when I glare at him.

Stubborn jackass.

Turning back to Holt, I find him no longer walking toward us but down on all fours, crawling and…

Is he sniffing the ground?

He moves forward, only a few feet from us now, before his head dips all the way to the forest floor.

What the fuck!

He makes a sound that’s somewhere between a moan and a growl before his head snaps up, and looks right at me. Well, he would be if he could see.

“I can smell you,” he says, his voice low and husky in a way that might be appealing any other time. As it is right now, it’s unsettling, and it only gets worse.

“You taste delicious,” he says with a whine, inching closer. “I can’t get you out of my head. I need you.”

He drops his head to the ground again, and he’s close enough that I can just make out what he’s doing as he licks at the leaves and dirt.
