Through the limbs of the Hunters dragging me down, I saw Nadira fall.

Red filled my vision, tunneling, until all I could see was her struggling under the Hunter.

With a roar, I ripped the enemy from me, whipping one into another, cracking their domes until they shattered.

They didn't matter.

She was the only thing that was important.

I fought my way to her side, backhanding Hunters that dared to cross my path and block my vision of her.

My Nadira, with her gentle hands and strong spirit. She should never have been brought into a fight, never have had to see the violence that we lived with.

When I reached where I had seen her last, she was gone. I shouted for her, then saw one pale hand protruding from under a Hunter’s corpse.

I hurled the limp form off her and she sat up, choking for air.

She clutched the laser scalpel with her other hand, and, upon a closer look, the dome of the Hunter who had covered her had been neatly pierced. The smell of cooked flesh wafting out turned my stomach.

I gathered her up.

“Are you alright?” I patted over her limbs, checking for injury, desperate to reassure myself she was here, alive, wouldn't join the ghosts who haunted me.

“I'm fine.” She leaned into my chest and I held her close. I could feel her heartbeat, strong through her body. It may as well be my heartbeat now.

Nadira wiggled out of my arms and headed into the room. My brothers had finished the last bits of the battle and looked as battered as I felt.

A fast, professional triage, with wound sealant and painkillers applied despite our grumbling.

I watched, waited until she came back to treat me.

“I’m never letting you out of the secured area again.”

“Yes, you will.”

Sigh. She was right, but for now, I was going to pretend that as soon as this was done, I could tie her to the bed. And…

“We’ll talk about it later.”

“Later would be fine.” The knowing look in her eyes made me wonder if she was remembering the last time we’d ‘talked’ about this. “But first, let’s take care of why I’m here.”
