Blood of the Damned
Part 8
Jay leaned on Joey, and hobbled into the house. Lila moved ahead with the rifle, cautious in case the farmer was still about. As Lila walked into what appeared to be the living room she noticed the corpse sitting in the chair.
There were two small holes torn into his neck, the skin around them smeared with blood. The man's eyes had rolled back into his skull, and his head was sitting at an unnatural angle; someone had broken his neck.
"What the fuck happened here?" Lila asked as she looked about.
Joey helped Jay down onto the couch before looking at the body.
"What the hell? Did zombies get him?" Joey said, though Jay simply frowned.
Lila leaned forward and examined the wounds on the farmer's neck. They were much too clean to be zombies. Besides, only one bite? That didn't follow their behaviour in the least.
"Hey, have either of you seen a woman before finding me? Black hair, has a sword on her back. Fairly noticeable," Jay asked looking about the room wondering where Haley had gone.
"No. Though she does sound-,"
"Shut up. You guys hear that?" Lila interrupted, stepping away from the farmer's body and looking up.
"Hear what?" Joey asked, though Jay was looking up as well.
Then they all heard it. A slight thump, like someone was walking around on the second floor. Lila moved towards the staircase near the front door, eyes shifting about. She felt her heart pounding in her chest.
The door to the basement opened suddenly. There had been no warning and Lila shrieked as she turned and fired a burst of automatic fire into a woman's chest. Blood sprayed across the wall behind her, but she still stood.
Lila's eyes went wide as she realized her mistake, but before she could shift aim to the zombie's head the woman's hand grasped the barrel of the M4 and easily pulled it from Lila's grasp.
"I just saved you from farmer boy over there. Some more manners would be appreciated," the woman said, as she walked past Lila.
With each second that passed, the wounds closed a little more. Muscle and veins growing and reattaching, before the skin covered up the holes.
"Jesus Christ. I did shoot you out in the forest didn't I," Jay said, staring agape as the holes in Haley's jacket and shirt, revealing pale unblemished skin.
"Yes. Here's your rifle back," Haley said, tossing the weapon she'd taken from Lila to Jay, who caught it and checked to make sure the safety was on.
"What... what are you?" Lila asked staring at the woman whom she should have killed.
"Isn't it obvious! She's a damn vampire. Look at the dead dude's neck. Totally a vampire," Joey pointed out, and Haley smirked, raising an eyebrow.
"No... no that can't be. Vampires aren't real," Lila said, backing away, and Haley could only laugh.
"A decade ago people said the same thing about zombies. Take a look outside. Time to unlearn some of that science crap," Haley said, as she pulled the sword from its sheath on her back.
Lila ran her hands through her dark hair as she tried to register what she'd just been told. She leaned against the wall and looked at the raven haired woman moving up the stairs.
"Where you going now?" Joey asked her.
"Cutting off some loose ends," Haley said as she moved up the stairs to where she knew the farmer's daughter waited.
