CHAPTER SEVEN

Jen looked over at the screaming kid in dismay. This night was going from fucked up to outrageously fucking crazy. She flinched in Neil’s arms, momentarily numbed by the unfolding events of the evening. The noise the screaming kid made was ear-splitting, his face a mask of agony.

She was struck by the similarities between the kid’s expression and that of the white mask the horrible prick called Rob had been wearing – the mask from that horror movie she hated. The kid was like the physical embodiment of the Munch painting ‘The Scream’; the expression in his eyes, and the way he held his face in utter despair, was truly terrifying.

Her heart lurched, partly in fear, and partly in abject sympathy as she shrugged out of Neil’s grip and rushed over to the distraught child. She bundled his stiff, shivering little body against her, his screams now muffled slightly by her pullover. For a moment, he struggled in her arms, but his screams quickly gave way to terrified sobbing. She had never heard anything like it.

What the hell has happened to him tonight?

She remembered what the boy had said – how his mum had been killed, and a coldness seeped through her.

No, that can’t have happened.

But something had happened. Somehow, she couldn’t seem to organise her thoughts, work out what to do. She had to take the kid back to his house, see for herself what was going on. Or maybe Neil could take him because they couldn’t very well leave Angie alone in the house, not with all the fucked-up shit happening tonight.

Neil came over to her, and she held the trembling child tighter against her. “Take the kid inside,” he said. “I’m going to go next-door, see what’s happened.”

Just as he spoke, yet another scream pierced the night. This time, the scream was coming from Rob. At first, Jen didn’t understand what she was seeing. She stared at the three of them over by the gate in dismay, her brain reeling. She blinked. Rob was lying on his back by the gate, and the two women were crouched over him. The girl with the stunningly slim figure dressed as Catwoman was sitting on his face, the other girl who was dressed as Red Riding hood kneeling on his shins. Their heads met in the middle of his torso, and Rob bucked and writhed.

If Jen didn’t know any better, she would say that the girls were eating him.

“Jesus Christ, get them off me,” he wailed through the gut-wrenching screams.

Neil took a step towards him, but Jen shoved the sobbing kid to one side and gripped his arm with all the strength she possessed. He faltered, and together they stared in stark disbelief at the unfolding scene.

Rob’s high-pitched squeals that reminded her of a pig brought to slaughter gave way to a wet, gurgling sound, his body jerking and convulsing like he was being electrocuted.

“Jesus fuck,” Neil whispered.

Jen saw the way something came away in Catwoman’s mouth when she reared her head.
