"Uhhhhhrr..." I murmured as the woman finally let me free of her cross-hairs. And while I was glad to no longer to be at immediate risk of my undeath being made into just plain death, I found myself wishing she had continued to keep me in her sights. In the time that our tense stand-off had taken, quite a menagerie of oddballs had arrived. From flying ponies to mustachioed safari hunters to bird-like fairies, each arrival seemed stranger than the last. Worse still, each one looked more delicious than the last as well.
As much as I loathe my current existence, it's still hard to rebel against the instincts that came with this body. I found myself hoping and praying that the group wouldn't grow much larger, as I was having quite a time trying to keep my undeath-driven hunger from overwhelming me. Ugh... If I didn't need these guys to help me get to Omni, I'd probably just give up and let my instincts take over. Maybe one of the others would get off a lucky shot and put me out of my misery. But, as I looked around at the group, the fear tinged in their eyes gave me the resolve to keep fighting. I might be a monster now, but I wasn't always and perhaps with their help I would be human again.
