I heard a door sla sound Bobby’s heart beat frantically, but his wasn’t the only one Another heart pounded hard and fast, but it was quieter and not as rapid as a human

It was the sound of a vary vaain, Milo and I were already running out of my room His room ay at the other end of the hall, but we could see Daisy, clawing at the door with her bare hands She was strong enough to tear the wood, leaving bloody trails as it splintered out around her fingers

Before we had a chance to reach her, she h for her little body to wriggle through, and Bobby started screa like hell

Bobby had locked the door behind him to keep out Daisy out, but that didn’t help us rescue hiot to the door first and tore into it

Bobby kept screah He sliced open his side pretty bad, but he wouldn’t have noticed at all if it wasn’t for Daisy The scent of blood h the hole and unlocked the door, deciding that seeainst the wall A nasty bite on his arm dripped blood all over the sheets, but he just stared wide eyed at Milo wrestling with Daisy

When she wasn’t crazy with thirst, she was an adorable little girl with chubby cheeks and downy blond curls But when she gnashed her teeth, trying to get at the blood running out of Milo’s side, she looked evil

Her face contorted with a deep snarl Her lips pulled back, revealing her sharp teeth, unnaturally large for a child Her eyes blazed, and she h, and she kept biting him as he tried to pin her down When she bit hi to drink his blood She just snarled and snapped at anything like a crazed animal

I pushed Milo out of the way, and Daisy was instantly on her feet I wrapped my arms around her before she could dive at Bobby, who still seeled made it impossible to hold her in my arrabbed a clump of her hair on the back of her head

She twisted around, pulling out chunks of her hair, and I had to take more drasticher face to the hard wood, and I knelt on her back

I felt guilty about it because this was a five-year-old kid I was fighting, but it felt a lotdown a piranha

"Are you okay?" Milo ju freaked out, Bobby looked alright
