“Is anyone injured?” Marcel asks once we all make it back into the house. As far as I can tell, everyone made it out okay with only a few minor scratches. He receives nods from most everyone in the room, all too exhausted to say much. We would have all been killed if it weren’t for Xo.

“Xo, thanks for the quick thinking. I’m not sure we would have made it out of that one without you,” I say. When I stand to shake his hand, he meets me halfway and grabs my arm.

“Salvar las vidas de muchos,” Xo says. I don’t understand what he’s saying, but the intensity of his stare tells me it means something personal, words he lives his life by.

“Spare the lives of many,” Micha says as he walks through the front door holding hands with Scarlett. Willow runs in afterward, finding Soren immediately and giving him a long lick across the cheek. He smiles and pats her on the head, her tail wagging. She must have been worried. Damn, she’s a good dog.

Xo nods his head and releases me from his hold. Spare the lives of many? He sees the question on my face.

“I will die to save lives, one or one hundred. It’s all the same to me,” Xo says, and then he walks from the room. He is a true warrior, no questions asked, and I’m damn happy to have him on our team. He isn’t looking for thanks or recognition; he just does what he does because it’s important. I take a second to appreciate that all these Sicarri come from all different walks of life, and we are all united for the same purpose. To save innocent people, afraid of their magic and afraid of demons.

This time, I turn to Scarlett.

“Are you okay?” I ask her. I can’t begin to comprehend her terror in being involved in a battle with no fighting skills, no way to defend herself.

“Yes, Willow was by my side.” She nods her head and smiles at the dog, who flaps her tail twice, the thud echoing across the wood floor. Once Willow receives her praise, she turns over and falls asleep against Soren’s feet as he lounges on the couch.

“Elijah, your shoulder is bleeding,” Karina notices.

I glance down to the side of my already wounded shoulder and notice a patch of blood leaking through the white cotton. It must have happened when that shadow-walker ripped my shirt. I didn’t feel the pain, but its long nails must have scratched through the new skin of my burn.

“Want to stitch me up again, doc?” I ask Karina. She tries to hide her smile behind her hair, but I see it anyway.

“Follow me.” She slaps her hands against her thighs and leads me into her room to fix up my injury.

“Sit on the bed,” she orders again. She’s all business right now, so I do as she says without arguing. Seeing her on the battlefield once more reminded me of how much I don’t want to get on her bad side.
