The Treemakers (A YA Dystopian Scifi Romance Adventure) - Plot & Excerpts
I sit up to find Chloe flailing by the wall. Inches from her and Baby Lou crawls another mammoth cockroach. Immediately, I yank up Baby Lou, and Johnny plants the thing to the floor with a crossbow bolt. “It was on me, Momma Joy!” Chloe cries, swatting at her head. “It was on me, again!” “Look!” Someone to my left points across the room at another cockroach perched on top of the new kid’s head. “Hey, new kid!” Johnny calls over. “Wake up!” He aims his crossbow and cautiously moves toward the boy, whose stillness beneath the heavy insect makes my blood run cold. With one swift kick, Johnny sends the disgusting bug flying across the room, though a part of its ripped-off head remains attached to the kid’s scalp. The headless body stills its squiggling, and Johnny crouches to take the boy’s wrist in hand. He drops it, shakes his head. “Jax, where are you?” I leave Baby Lou and Chloe with Serna and rush over to Johnny, glancing around on my way.
