Chapter Four

Click.

Click. Click. Click.

I kept pulling and pulling the trigger, but nothing freaking happened.

A wrathful scowl broke out across Kane’s face and he narrowed his eyes at me. “You really think I would leave bullets in that thing.”

Click. Click. Click.

If I kept pulling the trigger something was bound to come out of this stupid thing!

“You were really going to kill me? I thought you had more respect for humanity than that,” he hissed. His hand clamped down around my wrist and he pulled the gun away from his head. “Reagan, you’ve made me very mad.”

A battle cry of something inhuman and venomous escaped my lips and I plunged my hunting knife into Kane’s bicep and pulled down. The sharp blade met little resistance as it went into Kane’s flesh, but did not get very far when I tried to yank it down and split him open from shoulder to wrist.

He slid off me in an attempt to get away from my weapon. The driver tried to grab for me again, slamming his foot on the break. We all lurched forward and I fell on top of the pile of weapons on the floor.

I scrambled to pick up something useful and only found a butterfly knife. There were guns down here but the ammo was elsewhere and I didn’t trust any of the other handguns to be loaded.

The driver threw the Suburban into park and launched himself at me. I could hear Tyler’s screams in the back seat, Kane’s furious roaring. I felt the shadow of another Suburban pull up beside us, but only one action carved through the melee of my brain and called to my full attention.

And that was what I did with my hand.

In a move I had never practiced before… in an action I didn’t know I was capable of committing…. I popped open the murderously sharp blade of the knife and swung out.

My legs were tangled on the armrest and my torso was slunk and pushed down onto the floor. The driver came flying at me, and my arm flung out wielding the weapon. As if I had done this a thousand times before, the blade sliced across the man’s throat, tearing through his jugular. Blood sprayed everywhere, in sick, horror-movie-esque streams.

I sob clogged itself in my throat as the man slumped forward with desperate hands clutching at his wound. His body went limp over my legs, taking up the entire front seat and blood continued to pool onto the leather until it dripped down the side and onto my clothes.

I was horrified.

Traumatized.

Practically catatonic.

But this fight for my life wasn’t over just yet.

Slowly the life seeped out of him and eventually the air around me seemed clouded and hazy with his lifelessness. He stopped struggling and his body became eerily still. I leaned forward and snatched the handgun from the back of dead guy’s pants before anyone else could. I clicked off the safety and held it straight and forward as I untangled my feet from their awkward position.
