"Which way?" Eric calls out.

"Some foresight you have," Bram mutters, just loud enough for us all to hear.

"Right," I answer, ignoring Bram's cutting comment. We're all well aware of Eric's secret. The one about his powers of prophecy being completely fake. Though there aren't many people who do know, and I think Bram's realisation is pretty recent.

As in, twenty minutes ago, recent.

"Wait," I command them all, and to my surprise, they all stop running. I motion for them to hide in an empty room, and I go back to the door to listen.

Footsteps. Almost like a march, coming from the next corridor. Shit, that's not good at all.

"Anyone need any weapons?" I ask, at a loss for what else to do. The hunters are nearly on us, and while we can try and keep hiding from them, I'm not sure how possible that will be.

"Yes," Eric admits, and I throw my backpack to him. The other two shake their heads. Good, we're not completely at a loss then. As much as I like Eric, he doesn't strike me as the kind to be overly proficient in a fight. Though maybe that's me being unfair to him. If he's been the vampires' fake prophet for so long, he's likely never needed to be able to fight. And training would have been a waste of his time anyway.

Which raises the question of why Dimitri even brought him along for this trip. If it'd been up to me, I'd have brought someone who could help in a fight, not hinder.

That may just be my hunter training kicking in. It's a little bit on the ruthless side. But maybe once everything is settled down, I'll be able to soften up a little. Maybe even find some hobbies that don't include sharp objects or weapons upkeep. One of the guys might even be able to give me some ideas. I'll need them.

"What's the plan?" Bram asks, deferring to me and not to Dimitri, which is interesting. I wonder what's going on in his head right now. He's not glaring at the other man, or doing anything else that can be construed as jealousy. It's interesting to say the least.

"Hope they don't find us, and if they do, fight like our lives depend on it and don't stop until they're subdued or we're dead?" I suggest.

"Only subdued?" Bram arches an eyebrow.

"Yes. It's not any of the hunters' faults they're this way. Maybe try not to kill them? They might not be able to help themselves."

"Good call," Dimitri acknowledges, and I see Eric sag with relief.

"Except the ones that attacked us?" Bram qualifies.

"Probably. I don't think Ravi and Lily are likely to stop, no matter what we do." It's a sad fact that some of the hunters actually are sadists. But I suppose we're all just products of how we're brought up. "But try not to. A lot of them might just want a normal life."

The three men nodded, and I'm feeling satisfied by that. They're doing
