Chapter 26 – Ryan

At any moment I would lose my footing and fall into the waiting arms – and teeth – of the Ferals in the courtyard. I didn’t imagine it would be a pleasant death, but it would be different.

The ones that had made it to the wall were waiting. I suspected for their numbers to grow so that they could rush at me and take me down. I grinned and hefted the axe in my hands, holding it at shoulder height like a bat, ready to swing.

Below me, I could hear the scraping of the claw-like fingers of the Ferals on the stone as they scrambled to reach me. I was reasonably confident they wouldn’t manage it, but still, I kept glancing down.

There were a disheartening number of Ferals milling about down there and I held back a sigh. My arms ached and the cold rain stung my cheeks. I didn’t know how much longer I’d be able to hold out and I eyed the moat at the other side of the wall as I wondered how deep it was.

If the worst happened, that would be my way out. A leap – or fall – into the murky depths and if I survived, I’d probably end up with some kind of infection because that water looked positively disgusting.

The roar of a car engine came to me and I looked over to see two people sat in the front of it, the engine running. I squinted and then glanced at the watchtower. No Lily in sight which meant that was her in the car. What is she doing?

She reversed the car, getting as much distance between her and the Ferals as possible before shooting forward and I grinned. Clever.

They hit the Ferals before the doors of the tearoom and scattered them as they came to a stop. Cass leapt out and banged against the door with her fist as the Ferals picked themselves up. Then my attention was taken up by those undead on the wall as they rushed towards me, scrambling up the old stonework.

My first swing caught the Feral on its shoulder and sent it flying down into the moat below. There goes that exit plan. The next fell to an overhead swing of the axe and had the audacity to fall from the wall into the courtyard with my weapon stuck in its skull.

I pulled free my combat knife with my right hand and reached into my pocket for the claw bladed knife with my left as I backed up along the wall.

The next Feral leapt towards me and hit me with a thump, sending me tumbling backwards to the wall as the air was expelled violently from my lungs. The damned creature kept hold of me as it struggled to keep its balance and dragged me from the wall.

We landed in the moat with a splash and I sucked in a mouthful of foul water as I fought to sink my knife into its skull.

In darkness beneath the water, I pushed away from it.
