Phoebe could feel the blood pounding as she watched Pete aim the gun at her head. She heard him yell at hurt, only to realize moments later that he was calling her Julie. She could see his finger pull the trigger. Phoebe could taste the blood that filled her mouth as she clenched her teeth catching her lip between them. The scent of decaying leaves filled her nostrils as lands on the ground with a heavy body nearly crushing her.
Another gun shot rang out as she heard a muffled thud a few feet from her. She could feel the weight that was resting on her disappear before she was pulled to her feet and engulfed into the comforting scent of Z that she had come to associate with Tommy. The coppery taste of blood slowly dissipated from her mouth as she swallowed before opening her eyes. She saw Pete pinned under Adam on the forest floor with the gun, that had been pointed at her head seconds before, mere feet away.
Phoebe heard the air leave her lungs as she exhaled before turning away from her almost murderer. She leaned against Tommy as she felt him wrap his arms around her. She could see the occupants of the Haunted House rushing towards them. Karen reached them and pulled Phoebe from Tommy's arms and into a hug causing the scent of her perfume to waft over Phoebe. Margi was next to bound over to them drink still in hand, as if she forgot she was even holding in, and upon noticing the blood present of Phoebe's lips offered it to Phoebe to was the taste of blood from her mouth.
Phoebe saw Takayuki approach as he viewed the scene around her. She could hear him push the idea that the dead and living should be separate. She could almost feel his penetrating gaze as he stared at her. The mix of Margi's drink and the coppery flavored blood caused Phoebe to feel sick as she felt the adrenaline leave her body. She could smell a faint trace of gun powder as she walked toward Adam.
In the distance she could hear the police sirens approaching. Tommy stood beside Phoebe and she was comforted when she felt him slip his cold hand into her grasp. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers and Phoebe couldn't describe how his lips tasted. She breathed in his scent as he pulled back to see her reaction.
Phoebe heard Tommy tell her he loved her for being Phoebe and not because she was alive. She could see Takayuki filled with so much disgust at the two of them she could almost taste it. She could feel Tommy's lips again as she leaned up to meet his lips. The scent of Tommy's cologne overpowered the surrounding scents.
When she pulled away from the kiss to breathe Phoebe remembered the time Tommy and her had went to the mall and purchased Z for the first time. She wondered if his other senses were as bad as his sense of smell. And if they were she hoped she could bring him back to the living enough where he'd be able to experience them like she was.
