Chapter 47

The Taste of Survival

SKYLA.

My heart hammers as I stare at the blood pouring through the cracks before I quickly get out of the car.

“Stay hidden.” I whisper to Malevolent before I shut the door. The rain instantly drenches me as I stare at the body on the back of my car.

Fuck.

I rush over, my brain going into emergency mode.

I need to stem the bleeding! First, I slowly turn the body of the girl over before I gently lift her off the car, my heart sinking as I recognise her. She’s a witch student from the academy, one I’ve seen around campus here and there. She’s a few years younger than me but I don’t know anything else.

Her breathing is uneven, and she’s losing blood fast. I can see she’s missing a leg and a good chunk of her hip and one arm.

Fuck…

“I’m going to call for help.” I say, reaching for my phone in my pocket, only to realise it’s in the car.

I pull off the hoodie I’m wearing and wrap it around her waist. I need to call for help asap!

“No… help… them…” She chokes out, her eyes flitting to the forest before her eyes roll and my own heart stops when I realise she’s gone.

I close my eyes.

I may not know her, but someone just died… I move back, staring at her mutilated body.

That fucker…

I stand up, and that’s when I hear it, the chilling hiss of none other than the Death Noodle, followed by screams that are partially drowned out by the thunder.

Fuck!

Grabbing a piece of glass, I break into a run.
