Aftermath
She'd been trapped in The Damn Thing with the creature for all of five minutes. It felt like an eternity as she sat in a corner, her arms wrapped around her terrified child and the Creature right there, grinning like a feline playing with a mouse. It had her and would kill her for the child. easily. It even had a knife in its hand and she kept her eyes on it, hugging Rory close. She heard Marcus yelling one minute then the next his familiar howl and The Damn Thing shook as something large thudded against the mobile home. She heard Chelsea's osprey cry as she flew at the roof, clawing at the metal.
There was another voice that tugged at her memory, a mans voice, demanding and scared at the same time. A woman spoke, this voice she didn't know. She was shouting "Its weak and distracted! Go for the head!" and Jody flinched, screaming as a bullet tore through the back window. She didn't see how the monster moved out of the way, didn't see her two year old boy watching the bullet, didn't see the bullet make a sharp turn and connect with the monsters head.
All she knew was there was a thump and a dead body of an old man at her feet. There were police sirens approaching and that familiar voice was yelling her name, the door to the RV yanking open.
And Rory, God bless him, had put his thumb in his mouth and was sleeping.
little bastard.
