Chapter 34 Chloe ... Was that her kitten we just killed ? " Emily's voice was low in the dark . Her heart thumped hard and loud . She could feel her own throat tightening . " Think so . " Chloe's reply was quiet . She couldn't believe their luck . They actually met two speed - powered mutant beasts in one day . Across the hall , panicked voices cut through the silence . " Help ! Don't eat me , please ." But the mutant cat , which was bigger than three tigers put together , paid no mind . It crushed them , bones and all . The sickening crunch of bones sent shivers down Emily's spine .

" Chloe , once it's done over there , you think it'll come for us ? " Emily's face was pale . " Definitely . " Chloe replied . " So ... w - what do we ..." Emily stammered . " Let's move . Twelfth floor . Now , " Chloe said . They rushed up the stairs . When they got there , guys from the other dorm had already slung ropes across the gap again . A few powered humans were climbing over . Jason spotted Chloe . His face soured , but he forced a smile . " Chloe . There's a crazy mutant cat tearing through the guys ' dorm . It's massive and attacks on sight .

We just need a place to hide for a bit . " Simone dropped to her knees right there . " Please , Chloe , we've got nowhere else to go . People are dying everywhere . I swear I won't cause trouble for you again . " Jason added , voice tight , " That thing is deadly . Let's put our crap aside and team up . Just this once . " Chloe's expression didn't change . She didn't say a word . Jason clenched his jaw , dug into his bag , and pulled out a handful of zombie cores . " These boost powers . They're yours if your team takes us in .

" Seeing that Chloe still didn't react , Jason tossed the whole bag at her . " Everything I've got . All the cores ." Chloe unzipped the bag . Dozens of cores glinted inside . She raised an eyebrow , thinking , Jason's got quite the stash . Too bad he's such a schemer . Could've been useful . Jason's eyes were bloodshot . " Just tell me what you want . Do you even get how bad this is ? If we go down , you two won't last long either ." Chloe blinked slowly . " I want the mutant cat's core . " " What ? " Jason nearly choked on his anger . " No core , no deal . Take it or leave it . " " Fine .

Not like you two will live any longer than us , " he snapped . N OG 111 O 16:45 Tue , Jun 2 M Chapter 31 Chloe tossed the bag back and turned to leave with Emily . Without looking back , she said , " Guess we die together then . " She counted down in her heart . " Fine ! The core's yours , " Jason bit out . " But I get the corpse ." " Deal . " Chloe held up three fingers in a casual OK over her shoulder . She grabbed Jason's bag and chucked it to Emily , saying , " You'll need these . " Jason went pale . ' Damn thief , ' he seethed , thinking .

Inside Dorm 1250 , ten guys and three girls sat in silence . Two stoves warmed the room , roasting potatoes . The smell was unbelievable . Soon , quiet gulps filled the air . No one could hide their hunger . Simone looked the worst . She was the last one left from her dorm . One girl fell crossing the rope ; the other two were cat food . Simone hadn't eaten well or stayed warm in days . She was ghost - pale and shaky . Her eyes kept drifting to the stoves . Her stomach groaned loudly . Even the guys looked zoned out . Jason , though, had eaten enough .

Ignoring the hungry stares , he laid it out . " That mutant cat showed up this morning . There were over twenty of us . In ten minutes , only a few made it out . " I fought it . Had to use a guy as a shield or I'd be dead . Didn't stand a chance . " KNO Chloe and Emily shared a look . They knew that the bigger mutant cat was the mother of the kitten they killed . Suddenly , Simone screamed , pointing outside . They all rushed to the window . Their heartbeats skipped .

The mutant cat , which was triple a tiger's size , was balancing on the chain between buildings , moving closer with terrifying grace . " Cut the chain ! " Jason yelled . He started hacking at it , but the cat clung on . The cat swung down , and then clawed its way back up . " How's something that huge supposed to fit through that little window ? " Emily's voice shook . Chloe said flatly , " You really don't know how flexible cats are ." They scattered . They first locked every window in the hall , and then blocked the broken one on the twelfth floor . Jason had smashed it earlier .

They guessed that it was the mutant cat's best shot . They waited a long time for the mutant cat , but it never showed . It had slipped into the guys ' dorm , only to vanish . A blade - like wind whipped down the hallway , chilling them to the bone . In the end , they all huddled in Dorm 1250 . " We need a plan to work together , " Jason said . Chloe lifted her gaze . " How many powered humans do you have ? What can you do ? " Jason was the first to answer . " I'm a double - powered human , with earth and fire powers .

" O m G 16:45 Tue , Jun 2 M Chapter 33 " I've got strength power , " another guy said . " I ... I guess I'm plant - type , but all I can do is make a tiny sprout . Not much use , " someone muttered . All together , Jason had six powered humans , but their powers were so weak that they'd be dead weight against that mutant cat . " What about you ? " Jason stared hard at Chloe . Chloe just shrugged , totally unfazed . " I've got ice and wind powers ." Emily tilted her chin up , all proud . " I have spirit power ." Jason was genuinely surprised .

He never thought that plain - looking Emily was a powered human , too . But before . he'd never even heard of spirit power and wind power The guys smirked . One muttered , " Spirit power ? So , like ... you're crazy or something ? " Emily glanced at Chloe , who gave her a nod . Instantly , a flicker of spiritual energy shot from Emily's forehead straight into the guy who'd spoken . His whole face froze , his eyes went blank , his mouth twisted weirdly , and he dropped to the floor , twitching all over like he'd been electrocuted .

Jason shot to his feet , staring at Emily like he'd seen a ghost . 碗 AD Comment Send gift No Ads OOG admin Olivia Harris is an emerging author celebrated for her captivating romantic and steamy novels.
