"We have to go," he barked, his tone more harried than she'd seen thus far.

"Why?"

"The necromancer has discovered your location and sent some of his minions."

Her gaze darted behind her, to the window. "He sent zombies? Here?" The news sent her heart pattering as fear instantly flooded her veins.

"Yes, here. They are attacking en masse out front." Titus reached for her hand and tugged, but she resisted.

"We can't leave. We have to help Logan."

"And how will you help him?" His blue eyes caught hers. "Are you ready to kill something that is already dead? Can you take a knife to rotting flesh and do what must be done to stop it?"
