Chapter 14: Gabriel

“They’re all dead,” I said dryly. “He ate them.”

“Yes,” Sam said.

I rubbed my hand over my brow, shaking my head. “How did that happen? They were supposed to be trained.”

“There is no training against that thing,” Camilla said, her voice sharp. I turned my eyes on her to see the same disdainful look on her face that was always there when she looked at me.

“No? So what’s the point of you two, exactly?”

“To kill the zombies that he’s planning to let invade your village,” Camilla said.

“What exactly did he say to you?” I asked them.

“He wanted me to kill you,” Sam said.

“Excuse me?”

“He...commanded me to kill you,” he said. “But I wasn’t going to do it. I knew we should come to you right away.”

“Why would he possibly think that you could kill me?” I asked. “It doesn’t make sense.”

“He didn’t ask Sam to do it,” Camilla said.

“Camilla—”

She put her hand out to cut him off.

“I was supposed to kill you. I’ve...tried. But I didn’t get close.”

“You’ve tried to kill me,” I said in a slow voice. She nodded, a nonchalant look on her face.

“Tell me why I shouldn’t tear your throat out right now,” I said to her.

“I won’t let you,” Sam said in a growl, a clear defiance in his tone. Despite how we felt about each other, I had never heard him use anything other than a polite tone.

“You couldn’t stop me,” I said to him sharply. “You’d be dead before you got close. I could crush your windpipe without trying.”

“You won’t touch her,” Sam said, not budging in his resolve.

“So he wants me dead. Why doesn’t he do it himself?” I asked.

“He can’t. He told me he can’t,” Camilla said.

“Why not?” I asked in confusion. She shrugged.

“Fine,” I said. “I’m going to find this fucking thing. I want to talk to him.”

“Okay,” Sam said, standing up. I stripped out of my clothes as they left the hut, shifting and trotting through the village to the edge of the woods. I ran through the trees at a steady pace, sniffing around as I went, though I had no idea what I was trying to catch the scent of. I crossed over the line from my land to the deep woods and shifted, grabbing a spear that I found on the ground, one that must have been dropped by a guard.

“Hello!” I called out. “Come out and talk to me, you prick.”

There was no answer. I continued to walk around, peering through the trees.

“Come on!” I shouted. “You scared little bastard!”

“I am not afraid of you,” came a voice behind me. I pivoted on one foot to see a tall, thin man without a face, just a blank space on his head where it should have been. I had no idea how he was speaking at all. He approached me as if he was gliding, his face tilted down to look at me.

“Gabriel Alarick,” he said. “Bane of my existence.”

“Why do you want me dead?” I asked him.
