[ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] her left arm, she swung at the grinning shetani trying to crawl on top of her. Her fist smashed into the gaping mouth and sent it tumbling backward. The racket they were making was deafening and she wondered why no one had come to investigate. Bulbous eyes goggled wildly at her as they tried to drag her down to the floor, chittering and grunting. The face of one of the females kept bumping up against Merry's cheek. The taut skin was as cold as ice. Glaring at her, the shetani reached down and dug long fingers into Merry's right breast. Gasping in pain, Merry jabbed backward with her elbow. The pressure was released as the hideous little creature was sent sprawling. They weren't very strong, but there were so many of them! Then the hand that had been clamped over her mouth slid off and she screamed as loud as she could. The shetani giggled madly and made obscene gestures in front of her face. She screamed again, loud enough to wake sleeping passengers all the way back in economy, but no one came to investigate. Whatever had exploded the space inside the bathroom also muffled any sound from within. Two of the males were working on her legs now, trying to drag them apart as a third worked on the belt of her jeans. All three of them had gigantic erections. This can't be happening , she wailed silently. But there was nothing dreamlike about the pressure on her arms and legs, nothing imaginary about the horrible chuckling noises that filled her ears. They had her belt unbuckled now. Long spiderlike fingers were dragging the Levi's down her thighs and groping for her panties. A soft snap came from the vicinity of the sliding door latch and a querulous face peered inside as the door opened. Hey, what's going on in here? It was the flight attendant Merry had passed in the aisle. If there was any doubt remaining in her mind that what was happening to her was real, it was erased by the expression that came over the other woman's face. All the horror of her situation was reflected in the flight attendant's eyes. Several of the shetani trying to pin Merry to the floor let go of her and jumped the intruder. Hands went over her mouth in time to shut off her incipient shriek while others quickly pulled the door shut behind her. One of the shetani had a chameleon riding on its shoulder. The lizard was as black as its master, except for the independently mobile red eyes. Its long tongue snapped out and struck the flight attendant in the face, plucking out her left eye as neatly as if it had gone after a beetle. It swallowed the prize with obvious enjoyment. The attendant went crazy, sending shetani flying in all directions as the pain assailed her. More spidery fingers let go of Merry as their owners switched their attention to the bigger woman. As they did so Merry thrust her right arm forward and sent one shetani flying over the vanity with enough force to shatter the safety glass mirror. A kick of her leg dislodged another. Now she was on her feet with two of the distorted harridans clinging to her shoulders as she staggered Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html toward the door. One of them put an arm around her neck and started to choke Page 80 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html her even as it swung around to get between her and the exit. Stiffening her fingers the way she'd been taught to do in self-defense class, Merry didn't hesitate as she drove them forward into that grinning face. Both protruding eyes popped and sent black jelly splashing over bony cheeks. It had no effect on the shetani, which continued to pull and push at her. Another jab loosened its grip and sent it falling to one side. With both hands Merry reached around, grabbed her remaining assailant, and ripped it off her shoulder. She threw it into the vanity sink. Its skull split when it struck the spigot. Dripping black blood and brains, it struggled to roll back onto its feet. She was free with the door at her back. The rest of the shetani were concentrating on the flight attendant, shredding her clothing while the trio that had been preparing to assault Merry fought for position between the younger woman's legs. Merry flailed weakly at the doorknob. Please God, don't let it stick, let it open! The last sight she had of the flight attendant showed the shetani dragging her, head down, into the lavatory at the far end of the impossibly long bathroom. Then she was out in the aisle between the galley elevator and the bathroom. The door was wrenched out of her hands and slammed tight. She stood there alone in the quiet aisle, swallowing and trying to get her wind back. The little light above the doorknob was on, illuminating a single word: Occupied A couple of sleepy, just-awakened passengers glanced in her direction as she stumbled down the aisle, pulling up her jeans. She practically fell in Oak's lap as she clutched at his shoulders. Josh, Joshua! For God's sake, wake up! Hmph, what? No time, she thought desperately, and maybe the wrong man. She abandoned him and yanked the earphones from Olkeloki's head. She wouldn't have to wait for the old man to wake up. His eyes snapped open immediately, alert and startled. Woman, what are you ? She was already pulling at his arm. Mbatian, you've got to come with me, you've got to! We have to help her! Maybe it was the timbre of her voice, still touched with terror, or maybe something he saw in her face. In any event the old man was on his feet and following her back up the aisle as she fastened her belt. Shetani, she mumbled, half crying. He put a comforting hand on her shoulder. I know. I can smell them now. They stopped outside the bathroom. The occupied light still glowed steadily. No sound came from within. Olkeloki twisted the doorknob. It rotated, but with the interior latch secured the door wouldn't open. Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html Stand over there, please. She moved aside and watched as he clamped down hard on the knob with both hands. As he twisted, the veins in his arms stood out and his face went taut with the effort. She heard a muffled ping as something snapped inside the door. The old man slumped slightly, took a deep breath, and pushed. Merry retreated as the door swung inward, but nothing sprang out to attack her or the old man. Olkeloki looked inside for a long moment. Then he closed the [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
