>>5715113Okay, you huff, still marveling at Cammy’s strength given the circumstances, what makes her think it was a… one of <span class="mu-i">those</span> things?
“<span class="mu-i">CHUPACABRA.</span>” She corrects in a clearly offended tone, “Basically means ‘<span class="mu-i">GOAT-SUCKER</span>.”
You know what it means!
“Then you know what I’m talking about, dumbass!” She growls before clutching her side again! “Nrgh… asshole came outta’ nowhere after I grabbed Hank’s stupid <span class="mu-i">beers</span>...”
You blink. From the Nguyens?
“Yea, those freaks…” Groans Cammy as a disgusted look spreads across her face, “I’d just finished grabbing all the snacks when I saw something move further down the hill…” Her eyes narrow as she walks through the memory once again. “I didn’t want to get back to Hank’s stupid music any time soon, so I put the food down on a table and rushed down after it…”
The hill behind the <span class="mu-s">FOOD AREA,</span> right?
“Right…” Cammy nods. “I’d just barely reached the treeline when it got me–felt like someone ran by and stuck a damn <span class="mu-s">STEAK KNIFE</span> in my side…”
What did it look like, anyways?
“Didn’t get a good look…” The guard sighs. “The minute it got me I started tumbling–probably would have kept falling for a while if I didn’t hit a tree trunk.”
You run the scene a few times in your head–so she stumbled back here after that?
“Nah, tripped a few more times…” She replies with a sheepish look on her face. “Lost my stupid <span class="mu-s">EARPIECE</span> too. By the time I got up here I could barely see straight… probably all the damn <span class="mu-i">blood</span> I lost…”
So that’s what happened, you repeat as you mull it over in your head, she was attacked by some kind of creature… one that might’ve attacked some of the other guards too…
“Wait, <span class="mu-i">other</span> people got attacked?” Cammy asks with renewed interest! “W-where are they?”
That’s the problem, you frown, they’ve gone missing if what Jake says is correct…
“Well shit,” Growls the girl as she braces herself against the nearest shelf, “What’re we waiting f-<span class="mu-s">AAAUGH!</span>”
Cammy collapses almost as quickly as she stands up–you make a valiant attempt at catching her mid-fall, but you misjudge and kinda body-check her instead and send her to the ground faster! Smooth move, butterfingers!
