Chapter Thirty-Five

“I just had to get away,” Izzy explained a few minutes later, as they made their way past the huge, shuttered shopping mall. “I felt like I was suffocating in the house. You have no idea what's been happening to me tonight.”

“I could say the same,” Rita muttered, glancing over her shoulder for what felt like the millionth time, just to make sure nothing was following them.

“The things I saw tonight,” Izzy continued, “and the things I was learned... I keep telling myself I must have lost my mind, but at the same time there are things I can't deny.” As if to remind herself, she ran her tongue against one of her crooked fangs, and sure enough she felt a sharp little prick as she touched the tip.

“So do you believe in crazy shit?” Rita asked.

“Like what?”

Glancing over her shoulder, Rita watched the empty parking lot for a moment, making sure that none of the shadows moved.

“Why do you keep doing that?” Izzy asked. “Do you think you're being followed?”

“I honestly don't know,” Rita replied, heading toward a door in the side of the building. “I think I had a metaphor earlier.”

“A what?”

“My belt,” she continued. “It was weighing me down, and I had to get rid of it so I could escape. Seems like a metaphor about baggage.” She frowned. “Then again, I slugged the bastard around the face with the damn thing, so I'm not sure what that says about the metaphor.” Sighing, she couldn't help but smile. “Either that, or I'm losing my mind.”

“Me too,” Izzy said with a shudder. “My father basically told me I'm a -”

Stopping suddenly, she saw to her surprise that Rita had managed to get the door open and was already stepping through into the shopping mall's dark interior.

“Hey!” she called out, hurrying after her. “Rita! What are you doing?”

“Relax!” Rita replied, her voice echoing in the hallway. “I just don't feel like being outside right now. Don't worry, the alarm system for this place is completely screwed, the cameras are all dummies and there are no security guards. It's not like we're gonna do anything bad, it's just a shortcut to the main part of town.”

“What if we get caught?” Izzy hissed, stopping at the doorway. After a moment, hearing Rita laughing as she walked away, Izzy realized she had no choice but to follow, so she slipped inside and pulled the door shut before making her way along the corridor.

“I saw something tonight,” Rita said up ahead, silhouetted against the moonlight that was shining down into the shopping center's main atrium. Holding her arms out, she twirled around as she walked between huge, moonlit plastic plants. “Down in those tunnels. Something's alive in there, and I'm rethinking my theory about it being a sex party. Call me crazy, but I actually think something chased after me. Can you believe that?”

“If you'd told me yesterday,” Izzy muttered, making her way past a shuttered store and stepping out into the main part of the building, “I'd have said no.
