Chapter 6

“ARE YOU OKAY?”

I turned at the question even though I knew it wasn’t directed at me. Logan was next to the other man, the one who had just had a chunk of flesh ripped from his body. The shock at the sheer volume of blood saturating his shirt and covering his arm made me take a step back. He was holding the bite, but his hand was doing a horrible job of stopping the bleeding. Blood seeped between his fingers and followed the already crimson lines down his arm until it fell in tiny droplets onto the floor.

“Shit, that hurts,” the guy said, the words hissing out from between clenched teeth.

“Is there a doctor here?” Logan asked, looking around.

He stood next to the man, his hands extended but not touching him, and his gray eyes were wide. Panicked. We didn’t know one another well, but he didn’t strike me as someone who would be useless in a disaster, but right now he looked like he was on the verge of losing it.

The rest of the people around us shook their heads, a few even going so far as to mumble that they didn’t know. Just like earlier when we ate breakfast, I was struck by the fact that these people seemed to be in shock, and no one more than the woman who had originally been attacked. She was on the floor with people gathered around her, holding the place on her forearm where the crazy woman had bit into her as she stared off into space. She didn’t blink. Didn’t react when people asked her if she was okay. It was like she had gone catatonic.

Footsteps pounded down the hall at our backs, and I turned to find a new group of people hurrying toward us. Tessa and Rick were among them, but leading the way was the woman that had met us at the door last night. Her indifference from yesterday had been replaced by a look of determination, and in her hand she had a red bag with a white cross on the front. Thank God. Maybe she was a nurse or a doctor, or at least had some first aid training.

“What happened?” the woman asked when she was still five feet away.

“This crazy chick attacked some people!” someone replied. “She bit them!”

The woman with the red bag shook her head as she surveyed the scene. She frowned when she looked the catatonic woman over, but moved to the guy first. He was on the floor, still trying to stop the bleeding with his hand, but his cursing had tapered off and his eyes looked suddenly glassy. Dazed even. Was he going into shock too?

I turned away from him when the woman dropped to his side, instead focusing on my sister. “I was worried about you.”

Tessa grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze, but her gaze was on the injured man at my back. “A person did this?”

“Yeah.” I glanced over my shoulder and shuddered at the blood smeared across the floor.
