Glass burst across the room. The giant bat flung itself around the ceiling, knocked out a light, and landed. It was almost five feet tall, had an ugly, serrated mouth, and bright green phosphorescent patterns that waved across its wings and body.

The rifle was fired several times, and Jax stabbed at the giant bat, but it was hard to pinpoint its location with all the dazzling lights flailing around.

It knocked Riley over, and as it flew back towards the vaulted ceiling, its feet cut Peter across the forehead.

Alyssa grabbed a candlestick from one of the tables and ran back towards the kitchen while everyone else fought the giant bat. She could not see well in the dark. The bat’s bioluminescence was as dismaying as a flash bomb. Not able to see well, she ran right into a food prep table, nearly knocking the wind out of herself. She doubled over and clutched her stomach.

“Stop firing! Aidan yelled. “You’re just wasting bullets!”

Peter dropped the Winchester and wondered how he was going to fight off a giant bat with just his fists. Then he remembered something, and he, too, ran to the kitchen. Like Alyssa, he couldn’t see well. He couldn’t hear well, either, because the bat was screeching constantly. So he never saw Alyssa trying to stand in one corner. He waved his hands out until he found the hanging butcher’s knives.

Alyssa’s hands groped around the back of the oven until she felt the gas line in her fingers. She jerked hard, popping the line. The nauseating smell filled her lungs. She wondered for a second whether or not gas was still pumping through the lines or if what she was smelling the small bit that was left in the line. If it was still pumping, how did it do it? Was it machine operated or did a person somewhere have to pull a switch, or was she lucky enough that this gas line went directly to a large propane tank out back? She had no idea, just the hope that this worked. They had used Molotov cocktails on wargs, so animals were still flammable.

She ran back towards the far end of the kitchen with an unused candle in one hand and a lighter in the other, when something cut across the air in front of her. She ducked, then felt the blade cut into her.

Peter grabbed a couple of chef’s knives and a cleaver for himself. He was about to run when he heard something approaching hard and fast from the back of the kitchen. He tried squinting his eyes to see the creature better, but he couldn’t make out anything. He put the other knives down except for one chef’s knife and one cleaver. Then he prepared for whatever this world was going to throw at him next.

A shape appeared out of the darkness, and he swiped at it with the cleaver. It ducked, and he realized it was somebody, but his other arm was already shooting out at one of his friends.
