I didn't want to go, I wanted to spend more time alone with Eddie, maybe even sneak away up to his bedroom, but I nodded all the same. Something was out there. Whatever it was probably wouldn't come inside, but I didn't want to run the risk. There were monsters that had come with the snow and although I was no more afraid of them than I had been of the Many-Eyed, I knew better than to risk a confrontation for no reason.
Still watching the window, I backed toward the door with my hand on Eddie's arm, bringing him with me. We would have to tell someone there was something lurking outside.
Just then, there was a tapping at the window, as if someone was using one very long and sharp nail to make the sound. I froze beside Eddie and tried to think of what I could use in the kitchen as a weapon.
"I hear you in there, little ones," a voice came, muffled through the window's glass. "You can't run far."
