Nessie was gaining on the train despite the rain. Contrary to my fears, her flaming crest didn't hurt. If anything it filled me with eagerness to get those sumbitches and ventilate them with the Peacemaker.
As we reached the last wagon, I jumped from Nessie's back and crashed into the door. My first reaction was to shit my pants at seeing a handful, would be wagonful?, a wagonful of were-junkies.
At spitting distance I had a couple of white eyed, blue lipped beings with claws for hands. A bit further, like egyptian gods, wolf headed people.
As soon as they started turning their heads, I veiled myself. One clawy junky came forth, its ivory nails twitching anxiously.
I found my footing and painted the wagon's interior with lead and guts. As I emptied the revolver, my hand found my belt was out of ammo. Stored the gun and took out my blowgun.
The front door opened, just in time for the Sticky Fire stick to slide into the blowgun. "Ventas"
The beast came down, unable to cry as the flames found purchase inside its larynx.
I readied another fiery stick. My veiled boots carried me closer to the door and amid the rain pattering my face, my ears picked up bubbling laughter.
I walked inside the next wagon, full of upturned tables and signs of violence. My boots crunched over the broken crystals.
And claws dug out a section of the roof.
I rolled and the dagger like claws missed me. "Ventas" The shoot going wild into the sky.
Howls filled the night and I reloaded. Last Sicky Fire?
Saw a knife on the floor. Silver by the looks of it.
Blowgun in my right, knife in my left, I advanced.
A window exploded and something missed me. While the large furry monster sniffed the air, I stabbed the knife between its shoulder blades.
It backhanded me and I crashed through the other window.
I grasped the edge, pieces of iron and glass biting into my hand.
The cold rain assaulted my face and I saw the lake below us.
-"My misssstressss improved uss."
Its unholy glory shone with the lights of distant lightning.
On its brow, a large M was seared in the flesh. "Sshe will improve you, yess yess yess."
It took a pair of green manacles and reached for my hand.
I let go of my purchase on the window and let gravity take me.
