Chapter 89

The curse sprung vehemently from Craig’s mouth before he dragged me to the floor and behind the partially burned counter.

“What?!” I hissed out painfully due to the unforgiving floor slamming into my hip.

“Eaters… a freaking herd of them,” he whispered angrily.

I leaned out cautiously to peak around the corner. “Are we calling them a herd?” I asked. “How many is in a herd?”

“Enough,” he growled pulling me back into hiding.

“Enough?” I repeated taken aback by the way he admonished me.

“Yes, enough. There are enough of them out there that we have to stay here for the moment,” he snapped.

“Oh,” I replied.

I curled myself behind the counter making sure not a single part of me could be seen. The Eaters had such excellent vision that it bordered on x-ray vision sometimes. Though I certainly hoped that wasn’t in the abilities these things seemed to have acquired. Inhuman speed, strength and agility was enough.
