Orion helped me to the car and started the engine. I pointed the heater vents at me and soaked in the hot air as my clothes dripped freezing water onto the seats and floor. We backed out of the parking lot and drove down the road.
I slumped down in my seat and groaned. “Remind me to take more swimming lessons, but after the ice has thawed.”
Orion glanced at me. “What made you scream and back up like that?”

He shook his head. “I didn’t see anything. You just screamed and backed up.”
I shuddered and wrapped my arms around me. “There was this zombie face inches from mine. It had these glowing orbs instead of eyes, and there was just something about them that made me want to run away.”
