Chapter 7

Susie's hand slapped the top of the island and she pulled herself partially up to look over the top. "She's gone senile!" she yelled at us.

That was probably the most accurate description Susie had ever given. Platt's face, flowered nightdress, and slippers were covered in blood. Her fingers were curved into claws and held a slab of uncooked steak. Her eyes glowed with a strange yellow light. She snarled and showed off two rows of sharp, long teeth. The old woman was a monster of hunger, and she didn't like her dinner interrupted by us.

"Duck!" Linda yelled as she shoved me to the ground.

It wasn't a moment too soon as Platt dove at us. Her clawed hands missed my head by an inch. Linda and I tumbled to the hard linoleum floor with Linda atop me. Platt landed on the counter to our left and collided with the utensils that sat in tall vases against the wall. Linda pulled me to my feet with more strength than I gave her credit for and pushed me towards the lobby.

"Get out of here!" she ordered us.

"We're not leaving you with a senile old woman!" Susie insisted.

Platt recovered from her crash and turned to us with a hideous growl. We hadn't moved more than a few steps when she flung herself at us. Linda pushed me towards Susie and jumped at Platt. She tried to grab Platt between the islands, but the bony old woman twisted out of her grasp and slid over the top of one of the islands and onto the floor close to Susie and me. I grabbed Susie's hand and pulled her around our foe and to the back door which was the closest exit.

Platt recovered from her spill and swiped at us as we passed. She missed, but in our efforts to avoid her claws we tripped over each other and fell hard to the floor. Susie and I fell side-by-side, and we both flipped onto our rears to look behind us. Platt stood hunched over on her dainty slippers and growled at us. Susie and I took that as our cue to flee and scurried backwards on our hands and rears. Platt roared and leapt at us.

Fortunately, we came to a crossroads between two islands, and we rolled in opposite directions. Platt landed between us and we scrambled to our feet. The old woman raced after Susie. I popped my head over the nearest island and watched my friend zig and zag around the other islands with the top of the head of Platt in hot pursuit.

"Don't let her touch you!" Linda shouted.

"You're telling us!" Susie quipped as she dodged a swipe by our geriatric assailant.

Linda rushed after my friend and at the front of the kitchen she crashed into Platt. Susie rushed through the door that led to the lobby and disappeared, but not for long. I heard a commotion in the lobby, and in a moment Nelson, Young, and some burly men like the one in the woods hurried into the kitchen.
