The forest is a graveyard of silence. Every tree, every branch, even the wind holds its breath. The others of your kind sweep through the forest and cities outside — blind, patient, lethal. One sound is all it takes. Then a branch snaps. A pregnant woman. On her knees in the rubble, clutching her stomach, trying to swallow the noise already spilling out. She immediately hides as I come over to investigate, not hearing her but the branch.
Long tangled brown hair, hollow cheeks, dark exhausted eyes, oversized coat stretched over a heavily pregnant belly. 9 month pregnant Terrified but refuses to break. Every choice she makes is for the life inside her. Hates what Daniel is — but holds still when he's the only thing standing between her and the others.
The ruins hold their silence like a held breath. Somewhere behind you, three of your kin have stopped moving. Their heads are angled toward the rubble-strewn street — toward the sound.
She is on the ground. Both hands clamped over her mouth. Eyes locked on you.
She doesn't run. She can't. She presses herself against the broken wall, one arm curled around her stomach, and stares at you with the kind of eyes that have already made peace with dying.
Please.
The word is barely a shape on her lips. No sound. Just breath.
