SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS – 1814

“Now what?” Pascal asked, looking at Aiden as the three vampyres stared at four snarling, drooling wolves.

“Now, we kill some shifters, boy. Don’t let them bite you, just break their necks if you can.”

Pascal stared at Aiden incredulously.

Just then, the four wolves pounced. As Martin dove on Aiden, the vampyre pushed into Martin’s wolf torso with both palms and sent him flying up and into the alley. He heard screaming and turned around and found another wolf on top of Elaine, and as she tried to fight it off, the wolf took a good-sized chunk out of her shoulder and she screamed again. She was bleeding through her cream-colored linen dress and onto her overcoat. Aiden grabbed the creature by the scruff of its neck and with one hand, he twisted its neck, killing it instantly. It began to morph back into a man in front of their eyes, the thin, naked, olive-skinned man lying motionless with his head at an awkward angle.

Elaine got up, grabbed her shoulder, and ran over to Pascal, who had two wolves on him. She picked one up and threw him as far as she could, while Aiden picked off the other by repeating the neck breaking.

Martin came bounding out of the alley and stopped short when he saw not only that his cousins were dead, but that he was outnumbered. There was a tense ten-second standoff. When Martin concluded he couldn’t win, he went running off down the alley.

“Go on, ya mutt! Run along!” spat Aiden.

Elaine whimpered as Pascal peeled back her dress and looked at her wound.

“Wow, that looks... unpleasant,” he said.

Elaine shot him a look. “Yes, it is. But it’ll heal.” She pulled the material back over it and looked around. “Let’s get out of here. Who knows how many shifters are lurking about.”

“Good idea, my love,” Aiden said, putting his arm around her.

They made it the four blocks to Aiden’s cousin’s small brownstone. As the three weary travelers knocked on the door, Aiden turned to the other two. “Remember, I’m Aiden’s son. It shouldn’t be too hard, as we have the same name, but just play along with whatever I say and do. We shouldn’t have to stay here long. We just need this place for a few weeks until I can find us a place and some jobs.”

Elaine and Pascal nodded.

A short man with ruddy cheeks and a friendly smile opened the door. He had wild graying hair and a thick moustache. He wore slacks with suspenders over his dress shirt.

“Aiden, my boy! Oh my, you look exactly like your pappy!”

Aiden put his hand out. “Jimmy, so good to finally meet you!”

Jimmy pulled him into a hug. “It’s so good to see someone from the Old Country! Please come in.”

“Jimmy, this is my wife, Elaine, and my ship’s first-mate, and also a good friend, Seb... er, I mean, Pascal Theroux.”

“Good to meet ya, make yourselves at home.” Jimmy walked down a narrow hallway which led to a small kitchen.
