Ten seconds after Kevin fires the last of their ammunition into the Croats at the bottom of the escalator, three huge dogs crash through what's left of the glass wall. Another bound has them at the edge of the crowd, and then it's all teeth and blood and the Croats slowly realizing there's something alive behind them that maybe they should look into.
That would be strange enough, but then more dogs pile in, not nearly so big, but still plenty dangerous. Kevin glimpses what looks like a blood-smeared Golden Retriever leaping onto a man's back, but that's not as strange as the Croat going down under a Chihuahua and a Yorkie.
"What the hell?" Sharon mutters.
"Zombie dogs?" Kevin offers -- he knows his Resident EvilThey really ought to be trying to find a way through the collapsed ceiling, find another way out, but Sharon has a twisted ankle and Jill needs a tetanus shot and the kids are exhausted and Kevin, Kevin has Croat blood on him and he's on borrowed time. He'd meant to save a bullet for himself. He'd meant to save bullets

Oh, I forgot to ask, may I add this to "My Prompts, Their Fills" an anthology I have on Archive of Our Own? If you'd rather I didn't post the fic, what about a link to here?

What's Spike's line from BtVS about not wanting the world to end because of humans being like Happy Meals on legs? Yeah, that's how I see Eve's monsters regarding the Apocalypse. Humans and monsters are an ecosystem -- almost every kind of monster depends on the existence of humans in one way or another, for sustenance or reproduction or something. (I go into this, probably in way too much detail, in part D.) Croatoan is like the potato blight. The enemy of my food staple is my enemy. Demons are horrible things which are supposed to be dead, and angels? Are just aliens. And I'm reply to comments at 2 am and rambling, so, anyway, thanks for commenting.

There's a half-hour window to turn a human newly contaminated with the Croatoan virus into something not susceptible to the virus; any of the monsters are authorized to do that. Beyond that, they are supposed to take any uninfected humans to a reserve, as humans, if feasible. Skinwalkers are getting a reputation for interpreting 'not feasible' as 'a human we think is adorable and want to keep

Fallen bodies aren't uncommon, but movement puts everyone on the alert, and one of the party -- a high-strung guy whose name Cas hasn't bothered to learn because he probably won't be around long enough for it to matter -- lets off a shot before Risa smacks his gun down. It's not a live croat. It's half a dozen Croabs, only about the size of a man's hand, chowing down on a croat corpse.
"Babies," Risa says flatly. "Is it my imagination, or does it look like they broke out of the ribcage?" No one disagrees, and Bob mutters something about chestbursters. "Keep your distance. We don't want those things getting a taste for human

Eve walks the Earth, and her monsters run in packs with (or hunting) the croatoans.
