As Sky reached the door to the hallway, she looked over her shoulder again. All three of the infected were still at the counter. Sky let out a heavy breath and pushed the door open.
A wave of wildness hit her. In the hallway two females were talking to a male as he lounged against the wall. Sky's arm hair rose as the male's gaze met her own and he smiled. Sky looked at the group's shadow. They were infected too.
Hurriedly, turning to her right, Sky once more forced herself to walk sedately away from them. She flinched when she heard their footsteps following her. One of the females giggled and Sky walked faster.
"It's cute how she thinks she can get away." The male's voice was low, pitched so only she and the two females could hear it. Sky let out another sharp breath and started moving as fast as she could with the three large books in her arms. She heard the footsteps behind her pick up.
