The rain slowed as the sky grew darker. A chill bit into the air and Stella lay on her back, arms out and legs together, one over the other. Thunder touched the distance as her hat moved a few feet away from the small wind. Drops of rain slid down her pale gray body as she lay, unmoving.

Eyes opened and the Witch Angel took in a deep gasp.

“Ow,” Stella moaned as she tried to sit up.

Bones reconnected and ruptured flesh along her back and the back of her head mended. The witch let out another small moan as a hip snapped into place. Curling her legs under her, she slowly stood up to her feet just as Milly rushed out the front entrance.

“Stella!” the panu shouted before running to the taller woman and wrapping her arms around her.

Stella hugged her back, head still swimming from the fall. “I think I’ll be okay.”

Milly pulled back and looked into her eyes, “What happened to you? Why are you down here?”

“I was pushed by unwelcome guests. Are they still in the castle?”

Milly shook her head. Belle oozed out from the entrance and made her way closer. Stella eyed Milly and Belle for a long moment before turning her gaze to the village.

“We have to get to the village,” Stella said with a touch of concern.

Milly and Belle nodded. The three of them set off down the road as the cloudy sky darkened to the approaching evening.

Val pulled away from Will’s neck. Wiping a trickle of blood from the side of her mouth, bones and flesh mended together. A new fang slid into place, but weakness still prevailed.

Will checked his stats and saw that he had only two hearts left. With Val’s thirst and the fight, he was nearly finished, but the rage still burned at his spirit. Thorrin and others came here, to his kingdom to steal what he rightfully won. Thoughts burned as he mentally prepared to gather his people and go hunting.

Morgan eyed Will while he was on his knees. “We can’t go after them tonight. It’s almost dark and we need time to prepare.”

Val sat on the muddy ground, giving a small nod. “They could have a trap waiting. Never mind the ghouls that will be out soon.”

Will grinded his teeth as he listened and didn’t listen. Despite valid points, his blood boiled and he wanted to slack his thirst for hurting those who came here looking for violence. A long moment ticked by and the heat cooled slightly. The words of his companions sank in deeper. Sil and Nova looked to Will, waiting patiently. Val and Morgan sat in subdued silence.

Will tilted his head, shadows covering his eyes. “Prepare for tomorrow morning. We will rest tonight and set out at first light.”

The group looked to their leader, silent.

Will looked up to them. “We need to stop them. It goes beyond them just hurting us. They have information on our location and our defenses. We have to hunt them down and stop them before they regroup and come back with a stronger force.
