Chapter 9

Scrambling to his feet, Michael prepared to battle the creature standing before them. “I said run!” Angelica yelled again. This time he did as he was told. However, he couldn’t leave his friend to fight the beast alone. Taking one last look, he noticed it had the appearance of a human, but none of the other characteristics. While she was landing powerful blows to the head, nothing subdued the creature. The frightening growling noise followed him inside the cabin.

Michael grabbed the gun; and then after having second thoughts, he picked up the sword before rushing back to the scene unfolding outside. As quickly as possible, he ran upon the creature with a sword drawn. With one swoop, he decapitated the opponent. He watched as the severed head rolled across the ground with eyes wide open. Feeling good about his accomplishment, he reached out his hand to assist his companion from the ground. However, the weird sound behind him caused the boy to turn around. He froze while turning white as a sheet. Soon he realized those sounds were being emitted from the severed head.

“Don’t let it bite you!” yelled Angelica.

“What in the heck is going on? You can’t kill those things?” shouted Michael, quickly firing the weapon. The bullet lodged in its brain, and the eyes closed as the teeth snapped together for the last time.

“You have to attack the brain, remember?” asked Angelica, raking her hands over her arms.

“Did it bite you?”

“No, I don’t think so,” replied Angelica, checking her skin.

“That thing could have killed you. Even worse, you could have become infected,” said Michael.

“Well at least you listened to that part, but you need to remember to go for the brain. That is the only surefire way to kill them. If they infect you, then you will become one of them,” said Angelica.

“I remember, but what are we going to do with this thing?” nodding toward the remains of the creature.

“Leave it. We can’t take a chance on becoming contaminated. But, this is not good. There may be others,” said Angelica, staring into the nearby woods.

“Shouldn’t we drag it away from the stream? What if the water becomes contaminated?”

“I hadn’t thought of that. Let me do it in case something goes wrong,” said Angelica.

“We are in this together, remember? Besides, I don’t want to be left in the world all alone; and if you were to become contaminated, I couldn’t kill you anyway.”

She stared at her companion all starry-eyed. “That is the nicest thing you have ever said to me. There may be hope for you yet,” said Angelica.

As they stared at the lifeless corpse, Michael decided to go for the head first, since that would be the most difficult part of the task. Bending down to take the creature by the hair, he was in for a big surprise. The eyes popped wide open, sending him backwards and knocking his companion to the ground in the process. They both lay there closely examining the severed head. “It’s dead.
