Veso couldn’t help but smile when he heard Glenda mutter that single word. He had been pretty certain the cabin would have hot water. It had been built sturdy for year-round use, not just some summer hunting shack. He located two guns in the cabin, including a shotgun, and then returned to the sleeping human. He rolled him onto his side and knelt low, getting close.

“Wake and look at me,” he demanded.

The human’s eyes opened and Veso focused, pushing his power at the man’s mind. “What were your exact orders about the woman?”

“King Charles wants her alive and unhurt. She’s important to him.”

“I bet she is.” It still pissed him off thinking about the master’s plans for Glenda. “How many other people are out working with you during the day?”

“There’re eight of us.”

“How many close to here?”

“Three more.”

“Where are they?”

“Bob and Linda have a cabin two miles down the stream where it meets up with the river. Chuck is about four miles to the north.”

“Describe them to me.”

Veso listened, realizing neither of the men were the two who had attacked them earlier at the river. The human grew silent, staring at him. “Does anyone come here at night?”

“No. We’re not allowed to go out after the sun goes down, until it rises. We’re to ignore any sounds unless we think it’s you or the woman. Then we’re supposed to call it in but must stay inside.”

It was just like he’d thought. The master feared his soldiers would kill his human thralls. “How do you get supplies?”

“I walk to Bob and Linda’s place and pick them up.”

“How do they get supplies?”

“They have a boat.”

It wasn’t what Veso wanted to hear. “Do you have a vehicle? Do they?”

“I have a dirt bike but I’m low on fuel for it. Bob owns the boat and a small backhoe. They’re about to expand on their cabin. Linda is pregnant.”

Veso felt pity for the humans. It wasn’t their fault that they were helping the Vampires. The fact that the woman was pregnant made it worse. The master would dispose of them when he had no use for them anymore. “Go back to sleep and stay that way until I tell you otherwise. You’re exhausted.”

The human closed his eyes and his body relaxed. Veso gripped him, lifted, and went over to the closet. He jerked open the door, gently laid the man down in the confined space, and left him inside. He closed him in and blocked it so the human couldn’t get out. Then he walked over to the cabin door.

Glenda had locked it but she hadn’t noticed the secondary way to secure it. He lifted the two sturdy bars and shoved them into the brackets on each side of the frame. The human had probably had a few bears attempt to enter his cabin and had added the brace system to help keep them out.

There were solid shutters on the interior of the windows. He closed and barred the two on the lower floor and then checked the loft.
