The bone-chilling metallic scent was the last thing Maria had expected to fill her nostrils when she woke up that morning. The repulsive smell taints the air, filling everyone's throats with bile.
For the first time in a long time, Maria knew what fear was. She felt so much of it, it was almost as though she was about to pass out. It seeped into her bones and caused a chill to run up her spine.
Maria was scared to look away from the eyes that held hers; she was scared to look down at her best friend and know the cause of her screams of terror; she was scared to know where the scent of blood was coming from.
A series of screams erupted all around them, and for just a second, it all quieted down when Maria watched Deborah walk away and return to the shadows. The donna blinked at the empty space in confusion before summoning the courage to cast her gaze on Jane.
The sight was one that would leave many traumatized for life.
