Walter in the meantime was heading out of the dorms heading towards their destination where Damien's truck was. The dead seemed absolutely tranquil as they stumbled through the halls and outside in the cold albeit slower. However something was a touch troubling. They weren't encountering any opposition now as the dead seemed to have been more attracted towards Damien's alarm or whatnot. As they moved Walter felt the uncanny urge to look about every now an then from how devoid it was now.<strong>"Bella, Sarah keep real close. I don't like this lack of undead around here now."</strong><br/><br/>Sure things seemed alright. However there was still something terribly wrong with it... It was like they were being watched... stalked even. They were just at the entrance leading outside when there was a shrill howl that sounded like a rusted wind chime crossed with a steam coming from a pipe. Walter's weapon was brought to bear almost immediately looking about when he saw from the corner of his eyes something move along and around. Around them in the entrance halls blood was about from dismembered corpses that seemed to have been joyously ripped apart by taloned hands. Soulless eyes peered down at them a flicker of cunning hinted in the eyes of it. It looked like a freshly skinned human of sorts with hands twisted into talon like claws.<br/><br/><strong>"Well this is definitely new."</strong>Instantly it sprung forward in a wild charge its taloned claws coming forward in an attempt to strike Walter. And this thing or whatever it was was fast. Actually dodging and trying to avoid Walter's spear the creature tried to get past the young mans reach. The howl from before was joined as well by another as one more rushed forward trying to attack Walter from a blind side close to Bella so she could make a potential interception and help Walter watch his back. Whatever these things were they weren't witches or such mutants from the Left 4 Dead series.
