Chapter 14

My bloodcurdling scream shook the atmosphere. Anyone would have heard it for miles away. Either no one else was in this part of town, or they were smart enough not to get involved. Both scenarios left me on my own.

Just great.

I darted down the street, my legs like jelly. The thing was chasing me, his unnatural movements growing faster.

My mind drifted back to the picture of the bokor in Etie’s book. They could raise the dead. Was that what this thing was? A dead guy who had been yanked from the grave by voodoo?

I glanced over my shoulder. He was closer. A lot closer.

With a squeak, I pumped my legs harder, my muscles burning. I entered a dark cemetery, hoping to lose the thing.

Perfect idea. Hide from the zombie in a graveyard.

I was an idiot.

More could crawl from their coffins under the ground, and soon I’d be starring in the music video remake of “Thriller.”

My feet bounced on the plush grass, my flip flops making it difficult to run. Without warning, a root tripped me, and my body went sprawling across the ground. My head narrowly missed a headstone.

A boney grip fisted in the back of my shirt.

Oh shit. I was toast.

Blood thundered in my ears but did nothing to drown out the thing’s angry growls. My fingers clawed at the dead man, slipping over his decaying flesh. He was much stronger than he looked.

I was being attacked by a zombie. There was no other explanation.

Dead eyes? Check. Smell of death? Check. Moth-eaten clothes? Check. Maggots and worms? Check. Gray, deteriorating body? Double check.

Where was a badass chick wielding a katana sword when you needed one? I’d even take a one-eyed teen as long as he had a weapon.

The rip of my shirt echoed. I scrambled up only to be tackled to the ground. My gag reflexes went into overdrive from the sickening, fetid stench. A strangled growl echoed as I twisted around, coming face to face with the thing.

Milky white eyes stared back at me. Bits of dark gray flesh that was once a creamy mocha hung from his bones, threatening to drop. My mouth clamped shut before anything could fall in it. A writhing white maggot poked its head out from a hole in his cheek, searching for more flesh to nibble on.

Bile rose in my throat. My body thrashed in vain. I wasn’t getting away.

Long fingers found my throat, winding around my small neck and squeezing. Air was cut off as my lungs seized with panic.

Why wasn’t he using his chompers to munch on me? Why kill me by strangulation instead of chowing down on my juicy brain?

Black spots converged over my vision, and my head swam with dizziness. A few more seconds and I’d lose consciousness and then…

The thing was suddenly hauled off, air pouring into my lungs.

Those first few ragged breaths burned. My body curled into a ball, the grass cool against my skin. Scuffling and grunts rang out, and before looking, I knew who my savior was.
