Who is moving, which means she will no longer travbel down to Savannah to have lunch at the King and I with me.

“Holy Jesus.” Robert clutched at his shotgun.
“Stay calm. Watch him.” I crossed to the door and leaned out.
Empty hallway. Nothing but electric lights reflecting on the floor.
I stepped out, padded over the tile to the main hallway and looked around the corner.
Nothing.
I stood very still. Silence reigned. The mausoleum was quiet as the tomb it was meant to be. A long minute passed. I barely breathed. Another. If I could, I would’ve sprouted roots and blended into the stonework.
A small noise came from the left. It was a hesitant, slow clicking, as if some creature slunk in the distance, slowly putting one foot before the other.
Click. Claws touching the stone tiles.
Click.
Click.
Closer and closer.
Fear skittered down my spine. Fear was good. It would keep me sharp. I kept still.
A dark shape shifted into view, peeking around the corner from the gateway to the chapel. It hugged the ground, doing the animal version of a low crawl. Shadows pooled in the doorway of the chapel and I could barely make it out.
My breath came out in a slow soundless puff.
The creature raised its head, growing bolder. About twenty-twenty three inches tall at the shoulder like a mid-sized dog. Slanted green eyes stared at me, glowing with pale luminescence. I looked into them and saw madness.
Not good. Not good at all.
The creature trotted forward.
Click-click-click. Click-click. Click.
