Sienna’s stomach twisted as she let the magick pour out of her and into the last remaining man. The same one she’d seen earlier in the pub.

White shirt and skin streaked with blood, he’d swung his blade valiantly even as the enemy closed in on him.

But she knew he would die if they got to him.

So she took him out first.

He screamed, clutching his ears as he sank to his knees, all while the enemy watched, wearing sick smiles on their faces. Within moments, he fell silent, sinking to the floor with the rest of the dead.

Knowing she had no time, Sienna threw her cloak in place and rushed forward.

“You will not win this!” a woman yelled. Dark hair fell around her face, and she clutched a small boy to her chest as a Vampire moved toward her.

Sienna switched directions and rushed for her, but before she could reach her, the Vampire blurred forward, and the woman’s blood splattered the ground. Her screams had been gut-wrenching, but not nearly as horrifying as the complete silence that descended upon Sienna now.

A sob ripped from Sienna’s chest, horror churning in her stomach as she fought to regain control over her emotions. There were too many of them, that she was sure of, and even more were moving through the door as she stood there.

And with her cloak drawing at her power, there was no way she was fighting them out of this. Not without completely draining herself and putting them both at risk.

Her only hope was to get to the man and shield them both until the monsters’ mission was complete. Then, she could get him out alive. Leaping over the dead, Sienna raced toward him.

“Fan out,” a Vampire ordered. “Kill any who are still breathing.”

The monsters grunted in response and began checking the dead. Sienna jumped toward the man, landing softly on top of him and urging her cloak to surround him as well. His chest rose and fell softly, and she breathed a sigh of relief that there was still life in his soul.

“Please, no!” a man cried out, and Sienna shut her eyes tightly as a Wolf bit down. She had no time for the dying, not when she had a chance at saving the man before her.

So although it burned her heart to remain where she was, she didn’t move and instead turned her attention to the man beneath her.

His body was solid muscle, which only led her to wonder even further why he was not dressed as a Guardian. He was certainly built like one. Strong jaw, slightly crooked nose, he was a warrior. Of that, she had no doubt.

Even as her heart broke for the dead around them, she wondered what his eyes would look like when he finally opened them.

Would he hate her for saving him?

Thank her?

Could she even let him see her once this was over? After all, no one could know she was here. If they reported it back to the magick council, she would be punished.
