Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176: 176-The Sluaghs

Clementine:

The White Squad had run away, saving themselves and not caring about their own squad mate, who was still shaking and screaming under the attack of the things.

"Come on, Clementine!" I felt a grip around my wrist, Haiden trying to pull me away.

"No, wait!" I pulled free and ran to Nate, swinging my sword and cutting down a few of the things right above his head. Seeing me struggle and not give up made my squad mates return. They surrounded Nate, striking at anything that tried to come closer.

Slowly, in minutes, the things began to retreat. One by one, they left and gathered up in the sky like a swarm before screeching and flying away. We were breathing heavily, sweating in the cold, and not only that but we were also badly wounded, scratched, and clawed everywhere.

"Are you okay?" Yorick rushed to me, his hand on my shoulder as he pointed at my arm where I’d been clawed.

"It’s fine, it’s not that bad," I said, looking at him. He barely had any scratches though.

"Are you guys okay?" I asked Troy, who was shaking his arm because he had been clawed on the back of his hand. Haiden looked fine, just one bite mark on his bicep. And then there was Ian. He wasn’t scratched at all, but that didn’t mean he hadn’t helped. He fought with us. He stood beside us. It was safe to say Ian had come a long way, from someone who didn’t care for his squadmates to someone who stood with them through thick and thin and even cared about others. He had really shown improvement.

But then there was Nate. He sat on the road, eyes down. He was badly wounded, with scratch marks and bite marks all over his body.

"Are you okay?" I placed my hand on his shoulder. He raised his head, looking so teary-eyed that I felt bad for him.

"They left me behind," he muttered, smiling and shaking his head.

"It’s okay. They were worried about Suki. She got attacked." I didn’t want him to think his squadmates were so selfish that not even one stayed behind for him.

"Come on, Clementine, how can someone be so good at heart? We always bully you, and you’re still trying to save their reputation," Nate said as he tried to get up, only to fall again. He groaned, shaking his head and blinking his eyes repeatedly.

Yorick quickly came over, steadying him by placing Nate’s arm around his own shoulder. "I’ll take him to the shelter. We don’t know when those things will come back," Yorick said, and Troy moved to support Nate from the other side, lifting his arm over his shoulder as well.

Now that it was just Haiden, Ian, and me left, we looked around at the dead bodies of the things.

"What are these things?" I asked, staring at their skeletal bodies. If I had to explain their appearance in the easiest way possible, I’d say they looked like corpses that had grown wings. The space between their arms and underarms was filled with wings, almost like a bat. They looked like dead bodies, gray with thick skulls.

"What are they?" Even Haiden grunted, staring at them too long.
