Jacob ran like the wind heading back the way we had come. He jumped over fallen trees like they weren’t even there, landing twenty feet away, not missing a step in his stride. He made his way back to the one person who would know what to do about what Cates called ‘the poison’, and he didn’t stop until he stood in front of the old, haunted looking, colonel style home. “Merna!” he called. When he got no response, he stormed up on the porch and started pounding on the door that he and Cates helped replace.

“Merna, we need your help,” he yelled. “Please, do not make me break your wards.”

“Why have you returned?” she asked from the security of her home.

“The others have fallen to the bite of the rogue. I know what you are and I plea for your aid.”

“Go to the back. Wait by the door.”

Jacob did as she asked and waited several minutes before the small window opened over the sink in the kitchen. “Come…quickly,” Alec said, and helped pull Jacob through. He followed them down into the basement and back into the same room that he was beaten in. He looked over at the man that looked a great deal like Alec, and flinched his shoulders at him. The man jumped and ran around Merna, who glanced up at the grin on Jacob’s face. He was the man that had taken the liberty in using his fist to find out information, when he already had been given the truth. Jacob did not care for the quiet one. Merna pushed a shelf of bottles and books, sliding it open to a secret entrance.

“Come, I will make you a tonic and cream. The poison will hit the brain and take their sanity in twenty four hours’ time.”

“What payment do you seek?”

“You have given us payment enough,” Merna replied, causing her to get a look from both Alec and the other man. “You have taken away the pest that would have tried to claim our home, not to mention drain us dry.”

“Then we will be beholden to you, Merna.”

“Just tell no others of our whereabouts, young man. We have lived in peace, away from the ways of the elders and wish to keep it that way.”

“Is there any supplies that we can bring on our return?”

“Your plan is to return here?” she paused holding a glass flute.

“No, we seek others as we move north.”

“Then you may bring back a few items for my shelves.”

“I could use art pads,” said the one standing behind Alec.

“What is your name brave one?” Jacob asked watching Merna, instead of the one he was talking to.

“Alex.”

“He is my brother,” Alec added.

“Twins?”

“Yes, Merna was kind enough to take both.”

“Enough of that,” Merna said, handing Jacob a glass filled with green fluid. “Make sure each takes two spoons full.” Then she handed him a spoon.

She turned to mix a cream out of several different powders and oils, and while she did that Alex and Alec made a list of items to bring back.
