s two of you.”

They started to tighten their pincer on Rowe, closing from both sides. He stayed put, watching them out of the corners of his eyes. When they started to exit his peripheral vision, he took two quick steps backward, putting the thick wall of undergrowth to his back. That way they wouldn’t be able to get behind him.

The more unhinged of the twins snarled, taking a step closer on his right. Rowe’s immediate thought was to focus his attention on him because of his eagerness to attack, but he realized that it was a ruse. An act. The other one, the quieter twin, he would be the one to strike first. These two had played this out many times before, to the point they had it down to a system.

Too bad Rowe didn’t play by their rules.

“Let’s get on with this, shall we?”

They both paused at his sudden disdain for them, and he saw a sliver of uncertainty cross the face of the man on his left. What had been a meek, scared “friend to the rescue” wasn’t acting the way they’d expected.

“Ugh, fine. If you won’t lead, I will.” Rowe stepped out with this foot, nudging his toe under a fallen piece of tree. With a swift kick he sent the two-foo- long section flying at the man on his right.

Without waiting to see if it landed he sprang into action, ducking low and delivering a hit to the leader-twin’s knee. At the last second he remembered to hold back, since the worker he’d come to rescue was watching the fight. If Rowe did what he wanted and covered his fist in ridged scales to obliterate his foe’s knee, that would be an issue.

Instead he just hit hard enough to snap something, sending up a shriek of pain. He rose, expecting to drive his shoulder into the man’s head as he bent over his wound, but the man was more skilled than he’d thought. Rowe got to his feet without encountering resistance, only to see a jab headed for his throat.

His hands got there just in time, deflecting the blow aside. He hated having to act human, but now was not the time for his secret to come out. These two had to go down in a very normal fashion. Assuming they decided to keep it that way. He desperately hoped they would.

There was a roar from behind him and Rowe dove out of the way as the other brother reentered the fray, holding the log he’d kicked at him in both hands. As he went down he reached out, grabbed the one with the hurt knee, and whipped him around.

The log descended, breaking across his brother’s back with a loud snap. Rowe almost felt bad, because the blow flung him forward just as Rowe hit the ground, and brought his knees to his chest. The hapless twin took both knees to the stomach and rolled aside, gasping for the air that had just been driven from his lungs.
