Chapter 188: 188-All They Do Is Lie

Clementine:

"Bring her back! We’ll open the door for you!" Oriana yelled, closing the door quickly. I didn’t think she had done anything wrong.

I wouldn’t have been comfortable leaving everyone outside because I chose to go after Jessie, but I was able to catch up with her as she ran forward.

The Wendigo was now leaping from roof to roof, side by side with Jessie. As she sprinted ahead, I rushed up and grabbed her arm, pulling her back. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The Wendigo jumped down, hissing and snarling. The moment she landed, I grabbed Jessie and leapt to the left, escaping the Wendigo’s attack and landing in the space between two houses. The Wendigo screamed as she hit the ground.

Now I grabbed Jessie’s hand and began dragging her back toward the mansion, jumping through front yards and small gardens. The weather was worsening.

Suddenly, Jessie tripped over something in the overgrown bushes of one yard. She grimaced, and I helped her up, but she started to protest, noticing what she had fallen over.

"Come on, Jessie, go. Get up!" I pulled her harder.

She snapped at me, shrugging my hand off and almost crawling back into the bushes. That was the weirdest thing she had done.

Then my eyes landed on the Wendigo. It was right in front of me. The way she hissed and snarled, her smile widening, it was like she was mocking me.

The next thing I knew, she was jumping on top of me. I fell back, but suddenly she screamed when something burning hit her.

I turned my head to the left, following the fire arrows, and saw three of my squad mates running toward her, attacking.

She squealed louder, trying to step away, but her skin seemed almost like a black cloth, a little tough, but catching fire. She suddenly ignited and began thrashing wildly.

"Yorick!" I shouted. He rushed forward, placing his hands under my armpits to lift me away before she could land on me.

She screamed in pain for a while, then fell to the road, taking her last breaths. Soon, she began turning to ashes. We watched everything unfold.

The others had also come out of the mansion. The Wendigo’s screams had scared the fleshmingos away. I guessed it was because they relied on their hearing.

The deadly noises from the Wendigo scared them off, but we knew they wouldn’t stay scared for long, so we had to retreat.

We were still concerned about Jessie. Now that the Wendigo was dead and my squad mates were present, Oriana returned to see what had happened.

We turned to look at Jessie. She was behind a large bush. Haiden stepped forward, pulled the bush aside, and we found her sitting on the ground, sobbing.

"What is going on?" I asked, moving closer, and then I saw what she had tripped over. I gasped, covering my mouth, almost gagging at the sight.

I turned away to take a deep breath, trying not to inhale through the corpse. Both Troy and Yorick grunted when they saw it.

"What is it?" Troy questioned, reaching closer, and then he fell silent.

"Oh no," he whispered. "How is this possible?"
