Just then, Theresa heard a blood–curdling scream.

“Ahhh!”

It was a man’s voice, strained and stifled, but in the silence of the night, it was loud and clear. The noise stirred the zombies outside, sending them into a restless frenzy.

She and Sage rushed out to find Drew writhing in agony on the floor, clutching his head. He had stuffed his arm into his mouth, biting down to muffle the sound while trying to keep himself conscious through the pain. It was useless, though. His arm was shredded and bleeding, his throat emitting beast–like howls as he rolled across the ground in torment.

Everyone woke instantly. Shock rippled through the group as they stared at the man convulsing before them. Only Quentin remained calm—he had seen this before with Theresa, but the others paled, thinking he was turning into a zombie.

Weapons were drawn. Some stepped back. Lara, Lachlan, and their two companions huddled in a corner, terrified–they had clearly never witnessed anything like it.

Theresa knew the truth. It was the result of people in Dawnwatch Camp eating zombie gleamstones raw. Of course, it had come to this.

Sage’s eyes lit up at the sight. Even Theresa couldn’t hide her surprise at how well it worked. System–made really is unbeatable.

It was the Detox Pill she had bought earlier that day. She had given it to Drew partly to test its effect, and partly because she had just discovered a way to control Dawnwatch Camp.

Sage looked at Drew–calm now, the madness gone from his gaze–and turned back to Theresa, shocked. “What was that?”

“Something our alliance developed. Come, I’ll explain.” She beckoned him to follow her back into the restroom, away from the others.

Behind them, Lara and Lachlan’s group stared wide–eyed at Theresa, shock and disbelief written all over their faces. Whatever they were thinking, they kept to themselves.
