Finally the smell of fresh air filled her lung, that horrible rotting smell was gone. Reaching up the stairs it looked like where she was were in some sort of old church, you could still see some crucifix hanging on the wall.
Walking around there was a opened window, quickly she rushed over to look and she nothing but an open field. Jumping out Eva started running, she didn't know where to but it was better then being trapped down in that torture cave from hell.
Creeper pulled up behind the old church, the morning hunt didn't turn out like he hoped, only a few farmers and a tourist.
Lucky he killed a deer for the human before heading back, he never understood humans and killing animals for food, then again he has no room to talk.
When stepping out of the truck and unloading the back something seemed off, in a fit of panic Creeper dropped the wrapped up body and stormed into the church.
He practically flew down the stairs till reaching the room, to his disbelief the little human was gone, rage was starting to form within him. He felt somewhat hurt more than angry, with a deep scream he turned around and flew out of there.
I told her stay!
The Creeper flew out the church window and darted into the sky, from whatever scent from her he picked up she couldn't have gotten that far by foot.
Eva felt like she was running a marathon, she hasn't stopped for god knows how long and had no fucking idea where she was even going.
Taking a breather she slumped down in the tall grass, if she didn't stop she'll probably pass out, its been nearly a day and a half since she ate anything.
It felt like her stomach was eating itself, she had to find something to eat and fast.
I wonder if he came back and found out I left...shit. that means he's probably looking for me.
Sitting up Eva looked at her surrounds to look for something, to her surprise there was what looked like a farm up ahead.
There had to be people there, with a phone and food, without hesitating Eva got up and hauled ass over there.
It took her probably three minutes to reach it, catching her breathe Eva looked to see a small wooden box with water dripping from a inground faucet crank.
Practically sliding over to it Eva grabbed the crank with one hand and put her head underneath the faucet, water came pour on all over, soaking up the jacket and her hair.
It felt like the water was filling up the ache in her stomach, her thirst was being quenched but she was still so damn hungry.
Once done she took up all the courage to go look inside the barn, getting closer to the door it sounded like some one was in there.
Peaking in through the creak there was an man, probably in his middle thirties, and a little girl sitting right next to him, that must be his daughter.
"So here's what you do, put the bucket underneath first, make sure wipe any dirt from your hands."
"And then you squeeze the milk from the cows utters", Millie said pointing to the utters, Frank chuckled and rubbed the top of her head.
"That a girl, see you're learning.", she laughed and tried to push his hands away.
Millie laughed at him till something caught her attention at the door, when Frank noticed her attention somewhere else he turn to look, there was a young girl at the door.
She didn't look any older than eighteen and had on some roughed up clothes, the jacket she had on was all soaked.
Getting up off the stool Frank went and started walking over, Millie watched him and stood up next to Lulu the cow.
Eva watched the guy start waling over, he doesn't seem strange or unusual, hopefully he would be able to help her.
"Excuse you miss, but are you lost?" he asked while taking off his hat and rubbing the sweat from his forehead.
She hesitated to speak for a moment, till coming up with something convincing, "Yeah...do you know how it takes to get to Poho county from here." she asked.
The man made a whistle sound and put his hat back on," Well miss, that's about a four hour drive from here, about eight or ten if you walk it.", Eva softly cursed underneath her breathe.
How fucking far did that fucking thing take me, this is not good
"Mind if I ask how you got so far out here?", the man asked getting her attention back.
She said to tell him, tell him what happed and that what she saw underneath some old church. But what if he thought she was insane, some crazy girl hyped up on pixie sticks, there's only one thing to then, lie.
"M..My car broke down a few miles down, I forgot my phone at home and thought to try finding help" she said, looking past him she could see the little girl staring at her.
Frank looked at her for a moment, thinking of what to do, sighing he went to turn and look at Millie.
"Millie go bring her inside to mama, have her help get some clean clothes. When I'm done and come inside we'll see what I can do." he said
Eva felt like a great prayer has been answered, smiling like a goofball she went over to follow the little girl named Millie.
She followed behind till the got the back door of some small house, once inside they stopped in the kitchen where some woman was washing dishes.
"Hey Millie, who's your new friend." she asked with a kind smile.
'Her car broke down, daddy said to bring her inside and ask for you to help get her clean clothes." Millie said, the woman looked at her then at Eva.
"Oh dear, come with me and we'll get you all cleaned up." she said while gesturing for Eva to follow.
The woman brought her to the bathroom and started up the bath for her, Eva waited there patiently as she went out and came back with some clean clothes.
When she finished turning off the bath she told Eva to get freshened up and then come back to the kitchen for some lunch, and with that left and shut the door, leaving Eva alone.
The warm water was steaming up the bathroom, Eva played with the water sliding down her knees, finally she was starting to feel clean and rid of the smell of rotting death.
Everything that had happened yesterday didn't seem real, like it was all just a bad dream, maybe that's what it all was.
Some part of her wanted to really believe that, but there was no way she could explain what happened to Troy, Sarah and them, they're all dead.
What did he do with their bodies...was it them from last night the ones screaming.
A knock came from the door, almost scaring the hell out of her, when it knocked again a small voice came from the other end, it was the little girl.
"Miss are you almost done?" she asked, Eva took a second to respond "I was just getting out"
Unplugging the drain Eva stepped of the tub and started drying off, the lady gave her some new sweat pants a nice clean shirt just her size, once finished she dried off her hair.
Eva started heading back towards the kitchen while rubbing the towel on her head, Millie and her mom were cooking up something it seems, what ever it was the smell was making her mouth water.
Millie saw Eva and called her over to the table, smiling she went over and sat at the end. "Thank you for the clothes ma'am" she thanked.
"Oh please it was nothing, and call me Margaret"
Millie started telling Eva that they live in the city and that they come here every week to help tend to their grandparents farm, if she had to guess her age Eva would say Millie was around ten or eleven.
"Eva, what brings you so far away from home?" Margaret asked, Eva had to think something up quick.
"Well I thought that a drive out in the country would be a nice change of things, Poho gets pretty boring after a while"she said.
"Once Frank finishes working in the barn and we all eat lunch maybe he could give you a ride back home. Your parents must be worried sick about you" she said, Eva felt her heart start to sink.
"Yeah...they probably are." she lied, she knew damn well Rick was made as hell she didn't come back home, lord knows what'll happen to her when she comes back.
Creeper could sense he was getting close to her scent, it was getting stronger with every second.
There's no telling what'll happen once he finds her, killing wasn't what was on his mind, but some idea of what to do made him chuckle darkly.
She's going to learn how to obey me
