Hearing those words, that voice, sent a shudder up R. For a moment it seemed as if maybe he recognized it, Julie’s voice trying to peel back the hunger while it dug in its heels and shoved back, angry. Not today, it screamed. It swatted aside the part of him that knew better. R's hesitation gave Julie plenty of time to get that leg between them before he changed his mind, the zombie finding out suddenly there was a knee levered between him and food. Huh, that hadn’t been there before -
He growled as he was pushed off, his hand swiping at her face in a last ditch effort and missing by inches before she shoved him away. R landed in a sprawl on his side, the schemagh tied around his neck splattered with flecks of his drool.
He tried to get to his feet – couldn’t – and settled for a crawl because screw it, his legs weren’t doing what he needed them to and he wasn’t willing to wait. R inhaled and went dizzy with that Living smell winding its way through the candy and the cavity grass, lancing right through to him and splashing across his corpse. This close he couldn’t lose that scent. It shouted in his face. Sang in his ears. One hand clawed for purchase in the pink grass, the other one slapping forward and wrapping around the human’s calf. He dragged her closer with one jerky motion.
This probably wasn’t a good idea. Last time he came from this angle, he got his eyeball kicked out by an archaeologist.
The hunger shrugged. Whatever. Worth it. He wasn’t too hung up on having two eyes anyway.
“Hggh!” R’s mouth gaped open as he used his weight against hers. The Living girl was so close he could almost taste her already. He'd worry about fishing that pretty blonde hair out of his teeth later.
