We need to stop it fast. Decker started down the path. Every person the huntsman kills becomes a seed bed for a hound. Elise sheathed her daggers and gave Joshua a hard look. Did you just judo throw that hound? Joshua spread his hands in confusion. She made it sound bad. Yellow belt judo. Wolves dont learn judo. Elises voice was full of suspicion. Stranger things happen! Decker called back as he disappeared into the darkness. All the time! Especially around us! Elise trotted down the path, calling, There arent any wolves in Boston, Decker. If there were, we wouldnt have the mess we have! Where did you find a wolf? Joshua trailed after the two. Obviously everything he thought he knew about the world was wrong. Just a few days ago, he was decorating the best friends barn to be a haunted house fund raiser and wondering if he getting too old for Halloween. So much of the holiday that he loved was reserved for little kids. Hed loved running around with his friends in the autumn night, the doors opening up to warm bright-lit houses, people happy to see little monsters at their door, praising them for the work theyd put into their costumes. All happy. All nice. All fake. Even if people paid to be frightened, it felt cruel to him. Hed planned to work the haunted houses ticket booth. Then the mask fell away from world and the real monster showed up at the barn. He wanted the world to go back to making sense. He needed it for his own sanity sake. Hed lost everything else a few days ago; it was all he had left. His friends were dead. He fled his family to keep them safe. He had no money, no place to live, no idea where to go except to follow the two deadly people who knew what the world was really like. #joshua2Decker
