... frayed their nerves. As they descended ever deeper, Sam began to get annoyed.
“Quiet,” he hissed, hoping to silence the whispering behind him. Still, he heard the hushed voices. “Will the two of you shut up?!”
“We’re not saying anything,” said Sorine.
“I can hear you whispering!”
“Sam, neither of us has said a word. You’re the only one talking,” Volker said.
Sam huffed in annoyance, and the three continued, and so did the whispering. Then, after a minute, he finally turned around. “If the two of you have something to say, say it to my face! Don’t keep mumbling it behind my back!”
“Sam, you’re the only one talking,” Sorine groaned. “We haven’t said a word.”
“Bullshit! I can hear you clear as day! Neither of you thinks I’ll make it out of this. You’re planning on using me as a meat shield, and you’re going to leave me behind to lure the monsters away!”
“Sam, you’re being paranoid. Look, if it’ll calm you down, I’ll walk in front.”
Volker took the lead, and the trio continued onward, but it wasn’t long until she turned around in an angry huff. “Enough, both of you!”
“What are you talking about?” Sorine asked.
“I’m just following the map, Sorine! Don’t blame me for being lost! And you!” He pointed to Sam. “I want this thing killed just as badly as you do. I’m not bringing anything back to Germany, so stop talking shit about me and my homeland!”

After every occurrence, she’d tuck her hair into her collar or try to fidget with her clothes to cover more skin. Finally, she spun around, brandishing her pitchfork.
“Don’t you fucking touch me, you sick bastards!”
“Sorine, what are you doing?!” Sam cursed, staying out of her range.
“I hear the two of you, your filthy jokes and disgusting plans! I’m not a prize for the two of you to have your way with after this! ‘She’ll put up a fight, but she’ll learn to enjoy it,’ I’ll spear you through before I ever let you near me! I’d be safer with the demons!”
“You’re being hysterical! Just put the pitchfork down!”
“Shut up, both of you!” Volker boomed.
A wave of hushed voices then washed over all three of them. They whipped their heads around, hearing countless whispers pour into their heads like the buzzing of mosquitoes in their ears. Half of the voices could be understood, murmuring profanities, threats, and dark secrets that sent shivers up the spines of the trio. The rest of the voices overlapped, reciting an unholy prayer in an unknown language.
The whispers grew ever louder, the insidious trickle into their ears becoming a painful deluge. Sorine fell to her knees, covering her ears to try and block out the pain. “Make them stop!” she cried out.
Volker, struggling to stay on his feet, looked over to Sam as he ...
