"Weirdest thing I've ever seen." Lucas' voice was filled with disbelief. "I think her hound took pity on her."

We had returned to the Brotherhood's fortress and were once more in the room that seemed to be the preferred gathering place of the hunters. Gale hadn't returned from whatever he was doing with Samael, so it was just me and the other hunters. Lucas, Amberlynn, and Edwin had taken their usual seats at the main table, while Zachariah stood off to the side, leaning his shoulder against a wall and watching with folded arms.

I was on the floor playing with my new hellhound, who I had named Atlas. He responded well to it and I thought Gael might find it funny. I quickly learned Atlas was a big, protective puppy underneath it all. When I woke from my accidental knockout, he had been guarding me from Lucas, who was really just trying to make sure I was okay. So, I basically considered us instant best friends. Anyone who had my back was a friend these days. I couldn't afford to shut anyone out.

"You for real?" Amberlynn eyed me with one eye squinted, as if she didn't know whether to be disgusted or impressed.

"Yeah," I replied, dodging a swipe from Atlas' massive paw. I was really going to have to teach him how to play without maiming anyone. "I don't know how I knew, but I could sort of tell he wasn't happy."

She snorted out a laugh. "You're sitting there talking about happiness while I got a scar from my tits to my navel 'cause my hound tried to disembowel me." She paused, looking thoughtful. "But maybe that's why we get along so well."

Lucas mused over that idea for a moment, then realization lit his eyes. "Maybe that's it. You and your hound pick each other. Like fate."

"Why would I choose a dog like Debbie?" Amberlynn scoffed. "She's a psycho."

I resisted the urge to comment on that one and instead asked, "Why did you name her Debbie?"

She grinned. "Named her after Debbie Harry. No woman did denim and smoky eyeliner like that babe."

It was the most genuine, non-feral smile I'd seen from her yet. I couldn't help but smile back at first, but a sudden thought made me frown. "How come I've never met any of your hounds? Gael's is around now and then, but I've only seen Lucas' once and none of yours."

"We have to be much more careful than Gael," Zachariah replied. "Don't need to be accused of tryin' to kill anyone when your hound attacks. Like that time Debbie ended up in my hallway on accident. Right, Amberlynn?"

"Yeah, that sure looked real bad, didn't it?" She ruffled her wild hair, then winked at me. Zachariah bristled and pushed away from the wall, but Lucas gave them both exasperated looks.

"Anyway," he shouted, trying to diffuse what was clearly the start of an old argument, "I'm just saying, think about it. Gael's hound is the only one that isn't rabid, right? He still had to fight his, but the hound was just testing him.
