Chapter 20

Daniel heard the screams and quickly mounted Seashore. He didn't know what he could do but he couldn't ignore it There wasn't time to go back to the ranch for help and he hadn't thought to bring a weapon with him.
In the distance he saw and he knew. It was the same one that had killed Kyla's mama the same one that had clawed him and struck his back with his belt .He had been lucky to escape the evil one's clutches
