SIRENS WERE APPROACHING the cemetery. Time to get out of here.

The police would probably enter through the eastern gate and drive through and out the Western Gate to reach the bonfire. To see the Ash Tree, they would have to walk along footpaths.

Tonya hurried west. She didn’t want to run into police. If she did, she’d be tempted to rush over and warn them of the epidemic. Drawing attention to herself would be a mistake. The cops would be looking for a perpetrator after she’d called in the anonymous bomb threat.

Tonya’s stomach growled. She wanted chocolate, and steak. Maybe together. Although she was prone to nibbling when anxious, Tonya wondered if her cravings proved she was infected.

A widespread shuffling blocked the road ahead of her. Out of the trees and descending the hill, frowning, foot-dragging beings shambled toward her en masse. Tonya paused, unsure whether it was safe to walk through this tide of . . . sleepwalkers? Zombies?

No. Judging by their swearing and muttering, and by a few wearing beer guzzler hats, these students were dragging their feet to delay leaving the woods, and to express their annoyance at the cops for breaking up the party. As the slow mob of pissed-off party-goers continued east toward campus, one pointed to Tonya.

“That’s her! The one in yellow. She wanted us out. She must have called the cops!”

“She was weird in high school,” said a girl.

“Get her!” called a guy wearing a funnel hat.

Tonya thought about standing her ground. She was acting to save them. She shouldn’t be afraid. This wasn’t high school anymore. She stepped forward to explain the danger . . .

A wave of shouting people charged.

Tonya ran off the path and up the hill. Branches caught at her Hazmat suit. She didn’t dare sneak a glance, but she could almost feel their beery breath on the back of her neck. Tonya tossed away her hood and raced up the hill, hoping they wouldn’t follow, but they did. Like a pack of wolves, the leader barked orders at them, describing how to outflank and capture Tonya.

Descending the other side, she continued north and ran through the bushes. The woods weren’t as thick here, but she tripped over headstones and roots in the dark. The sound of her pursuers was softer now, but she didn’t dare turn on her flashlight. She could hear them fanning out, looking to see where she went. As quietly as she could, Tonya slipped behind a large monument to think.

Tonya had to get to the chapel and find her bike.

Dashing from bush to tree to headstone for cover, she peered into the black. Was she still going the right way? She searched the sky ahead for the familiar chapel spire but couldn’t see it, like a black cat in a coal mine.

She angled her head this way and that, peering intently. Something glinted up ahead. Bingo! Moonlight on the chapel windows. She closed the distance quickly and groped the bushes until she found her bike. She swung a leg over and had just pushed off when the students swarmed her.
