Chapter 53

Chandler stopped us before we could even leave the building.

“Julia said you had an aversion to guns, however, with those zombies sometimes hitting them hasn’t worked,” he warned ominously as he handed me a rifle.

“Soul eaters,” I said as I grabbed the stupid rifle and checked the safety and the chamber.

“What?” they said.

I gave them a disbelieving look. “Were you guys not listening? They are not zombies. They are soul eaters.”

Chandler shrugged. “What’s the difference?”

I rolled my eyes at his flippant tone. “One eats flesh, and one eats your soul.”

“They are still mindless beings,” Benjamin pitched in.

I groaned. “I don’t know that for sure and who’s to say that the part that makes them human is not still running around inside there,”

“The part that makes them humans is their soul,” Chandler pointed out sagely.
