CHAPTER 17

For a brief amount of time, Billy saw things clearly. Even though she was walking around, his mother was already dead before the scavenger ripped her apart with his weird gloves. Billy didn’t want his former mom killing anybody either, so he couldn’t blame the scavenger for what he did.

He realized none of this would have happened if Uncle Elias hadn’t decided to steal the transport instead of just letting the strangers help them. If not for a few really bad decisions by his uncle, everyone could still be alive. The strangers had shown that they were reluctant killers. When they did kill people, though, they did it efficiently.

The moment of clarity, however, passed quickly. The rational logic break down of what just happened was pushed into some neglected corner of Billy’s mind. All Billy could see was his dead family and the people who killed them. Infected or not, bad decisions or not, his family needed to be avenged.

Billy didn’t have a gun or even a knife anymore. Even if he did, the strangers had proven to be difficult to kill. If he was lucky, he’d get one before they put him down, and he hadn’t been feeling lucky for the last three years.

It looked like his revenge was out of reach until he looked at the talons on his mom’s hand. Before the other mutant scratched her, she’d been a person. After the cut, she was a killing machine. Billy liked the idea of being a killing machine, especially now that he had someone who needed killing.

He lifted his mother’s arm and used the dead hand to slash himself across his arms. He looked at the scratches and wondered if that was enough. His mom was cut pretty deep, at least deeper than what Billy did. She bled, but not very much. Billy wasn’t bleeding at all.

One deep scratch was enough to turn his Mom into the creature below him, but Billy wanted to be sure, so he cut himself a few more times. This time, he pressed hard until he started to bleed before dragging the talon across his arm.

Seeing the way he was leaking, Billy wondered if he’d gone too far the other way. He might bleed to death before he turned. He wondered if the venom on his mutant mother’s claws even worked after death.

He decided it didn’t matter. He would sit there with his mom until he bled to death or turned into a monster. Either outcome was fine with him.
