Chapter Sixteen

Horace

I wasn’t surprised at her regrets; frankly, I’d been expecting it. Seems it’s part of the acceptance process. Jen went through it, and Rudy, and there have been others I’ve turned who did. You seem to go a while just forcing yourself to accept, and then suddenly it really hits you that, at least sometimes, what you’re doing to survive is going to cost people their lives.

And that’s hard to face, when you’re new and still have family and friends living. Amber was sure to come up against it, eventually, and when she did, I only worried about what would happen if she couldn’t cope.

So when she asked, I promised her that if she could not, I’d do what was necessary. Would I have destroyed her? Of course I would have, because a mad grue was the most terrible thing you can imagine, worse than a man-eating tiger running amok in a crowd. When a grue goes mad, there’s no thought process, there’s no logic—they attack and bite, attack and bite, but they don’t always finish one person before starting on another. And they kill, indiscriminately, anyone who gets close enough. Just the existence of a grue would set the world on its ear, if it ever became common knowledge.

That’s not likely here in America, of course; the government here thinks it’s best for people not to know the truth about what stalks them, so they’d keep it hush-hush, I’m certain. After all, humans have known about my kind for millennia, and yet there are only a small number of special policemen who are ever told about us, trained to hunt us. They don’t want the public to know that monsters exist.

Governmental authorities are big on secrets, especially secrets like us.
