CHAPTER 11

I heard Shane screaming and saw Mom trying to pull one of the sisters off of me, but they were too strong. Groaner number one shoved Mom away as if she weighed nothing and then turned her attention back to me with a swipe aimed at my eyes. I wiggled to the left just in time to catch the blow on the shoulder, not the face, but it still hurt like nobody’s business.

“Absis—” Groaner two shoved her hand into my face, interrupting the freezing command even as groaner one made a lunge for my throat.

Mom grabbed a baseball bat from the closet and knocked the lunger’s head hard enough to spin her face around to her back, then started whaling on the second zombie, but the thing barely seemed to notice. Argh! If only Mom could still command the dead!

But Mom hadn’t been able to actively Settle since I was five years old and started manifesting. That meant she couldn’t help me any more than the average terrified human parent. It also meant that, once these ladies had eaten me, she and Dad would have no way to get rid of them.

I had to get free. There was no other option.

I screamed and kicked and thrashed but barely managed to keep clear of one zombie’s hands and the other zombie’s mouth. The second one was getting way too freaking close to getting her teeth into me, a fact that made my heart beat triple time as I shoved at the hand still covering my mouth.

One part of me heard Mom yell for Dad, but the other part was back at the night of my first attack. I remembered the searing pain as the zombie tore into my shoulder, the feeling of flesh tearing away from flesh as I scuttled backward, screaming. I was suddenly ten years old again, helpless to do anything but lie there and pray for help.

No! You aren’t that little kid anymore. Pull your head out of your ass and do something!

I forced the memory away as I reared back and head-butted the thing on top of me. Pain blossomed through my forehead, but luckily the zombie was dazed enough by the blow to be temporarily distracted from her bid to rip out my throat. Seconds later, Dad was there above me, kicking her away.

“Grab my arms, Megan!” I clung to my dad’s forearms as he snatched me under the armpits and hauled me out from under the two feral versions of Shane.

I kicked the one with her face still in the right direction in the eye as my dad wrenched me free, giving us a few extra seconds to turn and haul ass. Mom was already holding open the door to my parents’ bedroom, ready to slam it closed as soon as we were safely inside. Dad and I lurched through the opening, still awkwardly clinging to each other, but luckily we didn’t fall down until we were near the bed.

“They’re clones, I’m sure of it,” Mom spoke into the phone at her ear as she closed the door and flipped the dead bolt.
