They need a host for nutrients, but after they get them, they can grow I'm their own until they run out. And they grow pretty fast.
Amanda's POV I watched Adam jump onto the parasite and swore. "What the fuck are you doing?!?" I yelled but knew he was to busy to answer. I took my machete and ran underneath the parasite and stabbed it and ripped it's body open. "Adam!!! Jump!!!!" I ran from underneath the creature and watched as Adam made a leap off and landed on the tile floor. I then watched the parasite and smiled. It was dead. That's when Adam grabbed my arm. "What the hell did you think you were doing?!? I had everything under control!" I gave him the bitch please look. He sighed and let go of my arm. "Thanks..." I smiled and looked at the parasite. "I-it's huge!" Adam turned and looked the parasite over. "If it can get that big... That means we're in huge trouble." I nodded in agreement and shuddered. "How did this all start?" Adam shrugged "I don't know... But i know one thing... We're not safe until this is over..." I sighed and pulled his arm. "Like you always say, let's keep moving." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lol i'm writing short sorry!
