CHAPTER THREE

JORDANNA

A part of Jordanna wanted to run.

She watched the events in front of her unfold in slow motion.

The creatures appearing out of the darkness, out of nowhere, then scrambling to grip onto Chloë’s feet.

The branch that Riley held onto weakening, the branch Chloë hung from weakening.

Then that branch snapping away.

The pair of them falling.

Falling into the mass of creatures below.

A part of Jordanna wanted to run.

A part of Jordanna didn’t want to witness any more pain. Any more destruction. Any more death.

A part of Jordanna didn’t want to witness the two people she cared about most in this awful world torn to shreds, screaming in agony.

But another part of Jordanna didn’t want to run.

Because Riley hadn’t run away from her. Well, once, maybe. But that was a long time ago. Much had changed since.

So as the two of them tumbled into the crowd of creatures below, Jordanna lifted her gun and ran at the creatures.

Even if she did see the two people she cared about torn apart, she’d be there with them. Fighting with them, every step of the way.

She fired at the heads of the descending creatures without hesitation. Lit up the black night sky with gunfire. Sent rotten-milk stinking brains all over the forest floor, cracking skulls echoing in the darkness.

She knew what she was doing was reckless, what she was doing might attract more creatures—or even worse, people—but there was nothing else she could do.

It was either run or fight.

And she wasn’t in a position to run.

Not when she’d seen the way the creatures gathered around Chloë’s feet.

She fired at another three and prayed she wouldn’t have to reload this thing anytime soon. Truth was, she’d noticed something. Hardly had the time to take it in, but it was making more sense in her mind now, clearing up.

The creatures had gathered around Chloë as she hung from the tree.

Chloë, not Riley.

The creatures preferred live meat—in all her experience living in this world.

Which meant Chloë was alive.

Somehow, she was still alive.

Either that or Jordanna was just hopeful.

But fuck. That’s what she had to be.

She fired another two bullets right through the gnawed heads of two creatures so close to sinking their teeth into Riley’s belly. Riley fired at them too. Fired up in the air, but he was on his back, hardly moving, clearly hurt.

I’m coming for you. I’m not fucking leaving you behind.

She fired right between the eyes of another silhouetted creature, the moonlight just about revealing its former self. A decaying woman, lips split with teeth marks, one eyeball dangling down her cheek.

Dead.

Then dead again.

Another creature drifted in from the right. A fat bloke whose guts were hanging so far out of his belly he was almost tripping up on them.

He landed on his knees beside Chloë.

Opened his mouth.

Moved in towards her belly.

Jordanna pulled the trigger and nothing happened.

In that momentary flash, that flash of realisation, Jordanna saw what would happen if she didn’t fucking act fast.

The man sinking his teeth into Chloë’s belly.

Ripping her intestines from her torso.
