Chapter 5

The sun was finally falling below the horizon and Bastian stretched his arms over his head, ready to start moving further up the coast. They were close to the mainland and once they reached it, Haddie said it was a clear shot to where the Master was supposed to meet them.

“You should not have done that to Catherine,” Haddie said, appearing beside him.

The cave they found was small, barely able to hold them both, but it was all they were able to find as the sun rose, cutting off their chance of reaching the mainland on their first night.

“Women do not always forgive easily,” she warned.

“I could not allow her to come with us,” he snapped. “It’s too risky. Bringing Catherine closer to the man who is able to penetrate her mind? I would be a fool to think that was a good idea.”

“She made her choice and you took it away from her. Just friendly advice from a very old woman…women do not take such slights lightly. And what makes you believe she will stay away?”

Bastian considered that the moment he watched her fall to ground unconscious, but told Tula he would do whatever necessary to keep her away until this Master was dealt with. He would not risk losing the one woman in this world who understood what he was, and loved him anyway. He hated to raise his hand to her, but that fire in her eyes told him there would be no convincing her with words.

The moment the sunlight vanished, Bastian stepped out onto the sand, eager to be gone. They sprinted down the shore of the island and when they reached the tip of it, dove straight into the waves and swam for the mainland. According to what Haddie told Bastian, the trip inland would be longer than he anticipated, nearly twenty leagues at least. It would take an entire night to reach it, and they had to be careful. Haddie’s warning rang in his ears. There was a chance of the Master’s soldiers patrolling the wilderness, and they must be on the lookout with every step.

By the time they reached the shore, Bastian was exhausted and realized he had not fed in several days. He needed blood and from the hungry look in Haddie’s eyes, he was not alone. Soaking wet and reeking of the sea, they crept through the trees along the coast, following the sounds of a small fishing village. Bastian was not a fan of attacking which would lead to the risk of being exposed, but they had little choice. It was either feed or face the danger of running into soldiers or the Master himself, weakened and unable to fight back.

Torchlight lit the edge of the village, but they steered clear of it. Bastian caught sight of two men heading back from the dock, chatting happily in Spanish about their unexpectedly large catch. No one else was around. It was their perfect chance.

Haddie’s eyes flared red as she sidled her way up to them from the shadows.
