Chapter 9

At first, Danica thought there was no way in hell she was seeing what she was seeing. Several slow, hard blinks later, she knew without a doubt that she was seeing ghosts. Or at least, they looked like a mixture between a zombie and a ghost. Skin peeled off their exposed bones, and they were a murky green color and see-through. They whipped through the air, screeching and howling like a pissed off flock of birds.

As the commotion increased, Erik got out of the car. The moment he turned around, he opened his mouth to scream when the zombie-ghosts attacked him, tearing him apart.

Bile rose in Danica’s throat, and she forced it back down. She leaned into Gage, fighting hard to tear her gaze away from the eviscerated werewolf but finding it impossible to do so. It was like watching a train wreck. She wanted to look away but couldn’t.

“Run!” Nik yelled. With the monsters swarming the car, the trio of wolves bolted back through the house and out the back door. Danica nearly tripped down the rickety wooden steps as they barreled toward the surrounding woods. She’d give anything to be laying back in Gage’s bed at the mansion. That was safe. Curiously, it was also starting to feel like home, crazy as it sounded, and she had no idea why. Her shack used to feel like home, but the joy she felt at actually coming home had waned over the long, hard years. Maybe the difference was at the mansion, she had someone to come home to.

And now she may never see shack nor mansion again. Her calves burned as they ran. That horrible screeching filled the air behind them, growing louder, spurring her on. Muscle burns be damned. She was going to haul ass away from those things.

The toe of her shoe caught on a rock, and she nearly went down, making her heart slam against her sternum.

“I’ve got you,” Gage said, holding her up and never breaking stride. “Keep going.”

“Easy for you to say, Mr. Gold Star Gym Membership,” she gritted out between heavy pants.

He chuckled. It was exactly what she needed, considering they were probably going to get eaten alive at any minute by those ghost-piranhas.

“Just keep moving,” he said. “We’re going to make it. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Okay, considering what those things did to Erik, she knew good and well Gage had to be bluffing. Still, it sparked a small ember of hope inside her to hear him say that.

Nik crashed through the trees ahead of them. The woods seemed to grow thicker the farther into the forest they went, like it was trying to choke out all the sunlight. That eerie mist crept along her peripheral vision, closing in on them and making her run harder.

“We have to get to the river!” Nik shouted. “Wraiths can’t cross moving water.”

“What did he call those things?” Danica yelled.

“Something not of this world,” Gage answered, a dark look on his face. Fear swam in his eyes.
