Escaping From The School Campus

Zane stared at the Stalker, who had appeared directly behind Ryan's back. Before the young jock could even react, his neck was gripped tightly by the stalker who restrained the man who had turned himself into stone as if it were the easiest thing in the world.

Ryan began to grunt and move around. All the while, the Walkers who had surrounded the four survivors had stopped in their tracks, seemingly waiting for the Stalker to make its move.

"What the hell! Let me go, you damned monster!"

Yet the Stalker did not respond to Ryan's outcries, instead its eyes were cast upon Zane, almost as if it were asking for permission to take the life of this living being, one who had awakened a powerful ability. Zane eyed the creature with curiosity, surprised that it was behaving so obediently, and was quick to speak with it, despite the creature not being able to converse in any of the various human tongues itself.
