hadn’t vanished into oblivion.
    Without a second thought,
Kara ran back towards the main entrance. She felt renewed strength
from her M-5 suit and soared over deranged mortals as though
jumping over hurdles in a hundred meter race. Angry shouts
of kill and destroy followed her as she ran on. Cold fingers groped at her, but
Kara pressed on harder.
    She searched for her friends
frantically. The veil of darkness lifted slightly as she passed the
large arched entryway. Jenny and Peter stood on a partial wall. A
throng of enraged mortals threw themselves repeatedly at the wall
below them. Foaming from their mouths, they wailed angry
unintelligible gibberish. They smashed at the stone border with
their fists, and rocks and dust poured down on them in sheets of
grey. The wall cracked. An entire edge of stone slipped and
crumbled down toward them. Jenny screamed as she jumped out of the
way. Peter took her hand in his, and they retreated further into
the corner, their eyes wide with fear.
    David appeared suddenly behind the
mortals.
    “ Hang on, people. I’ll
distract the zombies,” he called out. With a sinister look in his
eye, he jumped in the air and waved his arms like a mad man. “Hey,
hot guy over here!”
    The mob turned slowly towards his
voice, and he pointed to himself. “That’s right, these good looks
are killer. You wanna piece of me?” David smacked his behind.
“Yeah? Then come and get me!”
    Heads twitched and limbs flailed in a
jagged line dance. With a cacophony of rasping moans they focused
their maddened eyes on David.
    And then they lunged.
    “ Crap. They’re smarter than
I thought.” David laughed hysterically as he turned and sprinted
away from Jenny and Peter, but towards Kara. The bloody murderous
throng followed closely behind him.
    “ What are you doing?”
Kara’s eyes widened as David approached her. “You’re bringing them
straight to me!”
    David ran past her. “Sorry!” He
galloped ahead into the shadows of the courtyard. “It was the only
thing I could think of to get them off Jenny and Peter,” he yelled
back.
    With a frustrated sigh, Kara turned
and ran to catch up. She stole a look behind her. The seething mass
of mortals still thundered towards them. Their mad wails gave her
goose bumps. It was like a nightmare in which a horde of zombies
chased her through the streets of her hometown. But this was no
nightmare.
    How could the entire village have gone
completely mad? Who had done this to these poor people? How was it
even possible?
    A name burned on the inside of her
forehead.
    Lilith.
    “ What’s your master plan,
genius?” Kara followed David around the edges of the massive
courtyard. Roars filled the air behind them.
    “ Me?” David yelled as he
ran. “I don’t have one; I thought you did. You’re the one with the
brains, not me.”
    “ That’s just great! So what
did you think? That we’d just run around the castle forever and
hope they’d fall over—dead of exhaustion?”
    “ Hey! That’s a good plan.
That way we don’t have to hurt them.” David’s white teeth gleamed
in the moonlight. “I knew you’d think of something, babe. Let’s go
with that.”
    “ That’s not a plan, and
don’t call me that.” Kara gritted her teeth as she ran. “We need to
think of something better.”
    David easily soared over a large
boulder. “Well, let me know when it comes along. I’ll be right
here...running.”
    Halfway across the courtyard, Kara’s
temper started to flare. “I can’t think of anything while I’m
running around like an idiot. We have to stop
somewhere.”
    “ Okay, hang on.” David
looked around desperately and then pointed. “There. We’ll climb up
to Peter and Jenny.” Jenny and Peter waved frantically at them from
above the broken wall.
    Kara nodded. It wasn’t the best plan,
but she needed to stop running in order to think. She stole another
look behind her. The demented mortals shuffled onward like gruesome
marionettes.
