Panic-stricken, Godric scanned the room with no sign of the old woman. The rain continued to pour on the broken-down cabin. Each drop smashed against the roof, similar to the sound of shots on a battlefield.

Whoever was outside, they were surrounding the home.

“Guys,” Godric whispered. He tried his best to get Luna and Byrd’s attention without alerting the intruders outside. He couldn’t be certain, but he believed the Hazard gang found them. “Guys, wake up.”

In the dark home, he saw movement near the ground. Luna leaned forward from the hardwood floor. “What is it?” she whispered from the other room.

Before Godric could answer, the window near him shattered. A yellow stream of light shot through the glass. He ducked low to the floor, holding his breath. He waited for more shots, fearing Hazard sent an entire army of his thugs for the lockbox.

The rain was deafening with the broken window, funneling in the wild storm's screech.

“Godric!” a voice shouted.

In the living room, he saw both Luna and Byrd awake, crouched near a couch. They clutched their weapons with similar expressions of fear. “Come here!”

Godric moved forward to join his friends, but a loud slam against the front door impeded his steps. He backed away from the pulsating door.

Someone outside slammed the front door, trying to enter the home.

Before he could slip his rifle from his shoulder, the old wooden door swung open with a violent THUD. A man with a drenched hat trudged into the cabin, a pistol in each hand. The man, masked by a dark red bandana, nothing but his bright blue eyes for Godric to see, waddled forward. He locked in a hectic gaze with Godric. Both men jumped in shock at the sight of each other.

A silver blast streaked from the living room into the back of the intruder. The man fell to the ground, face first against the drizzled floor.

Godric stared across the home at Luna, who bared her hunting rifle. Her weapon sizzled at the barrel, revealing who shot the intruder.

She saved my life.

“Godric, come over here!” Byrd shouted beside his sister. They were safer together, but with Godric in a separate room, he was an easy target. “Stay low to the ground... Get down!”

Byrd raised his rifle in Godric’s direction, firing a shot. The silver stream raced over his head, smashing into the chest of a man standing outside the fractured window.

He saved my life, too.

Uncertain, but Godric had a strong feeling the attackers were not only part of the Hazard gang, but did not intend on sparing the three hunters. No other explanation made sense.

Rain continued with relentless force onto the roof. Water made its way through the shattered window and broken-down doorway.

Other than the daunting storm, the home seemed calmer. No more men attacked the home, but they heard a distant voice shouting over the storm.

“Young hunters… come out of the house,” the voice ordered over the rain. Godric recognized the voice instantly as the eerily calm tone of Kit Ramses. “We have the place surrounded.
