Wisteria (Wisteria #2)
Prologue - Excerpt
Thirteen months after the first official case of Nero
Disease
“Wisteria, run!” Rebecca O’Leary screamed over the
radio.
Wisteria Kuti whipped around and came face-to-face
with the blood-red eyes of a hungry flesh-eating biter. The biter was a man,
infected by Nero Disease, who had long lost his mind. He looked more animal
than human and he wanted one thing—to feed on the flesh of uninfected people.
The biter growled and staggered toward Wisteria.
She fled down the deserted road to the nearest house.
The front door was locked. She kicked at the door, but it didn’t open. Taking
out her handgun, she smashed through the window of the door.
“Ugh,” more biters growled behind her.
She spun around, fired once, and hit one in the head.
She unlocked the door by reaching in and turning the lock. Once inside, she
chained and bolted the door.
Crash—a biter smashed through another window into the
house.
Wisteria’s heart jumped and she darted up the stairs
as fast as she could.
“Get out of the house, Wisteria!” Rebecca radioed.
I’m trying.
A biter grabbed her ankle as she ran. Falling hard on
the steps, she wailed in pain. “Ah.” No time to cry, Wisteria. She fired at the
biter holding her. One bullet left.
Three more biters appeared below and started coming
up the stairs. Leaping up, she sprinted to the top floor and dashed into the
first open doorway that led to the master bedroom. Locking the door, she headed
straight for the window.
The infected clawed at the door, tearing it apart and
snarling as they entered.
