“Well, well, well, what do we have here?” a deep, raspy voice asked.

“Just a traveler with nothing of interest to you. I suggest you keep moving along,” Ka’ya retorted, warily eyeing the man.

Her fingers tightened on the grip of her sword but she didn’t pull it out – yet. She and the alpha were hunting for dinner while Alexandru set up camp. He had wanted to argue that he should be the one hunting for their meal, but Ka’ya had pointed out that as she was more familiar with the area and the types of plants, berries, and birds that were edible, it made more sense that she went. He had grudgingly agreed with her. She couldn’t contain her laughter when she overheard him grumbling about how losing one’s memory sucked and how was he supposed to impress her when he couldn’t even take care of her properly. As far as she was concerned, he knew very well how to take care of her properly. Her body was still in meltdown after the night before.

If she hadn’t been so distracted, she would have noticed the unusual quiet that had settled around her. Even the beetles had silenced their music. The alpha had gone off several minutes before to follow a scent trail while she fell further behind. Now, she cursed the fact that she had been distracted. She knew better than to allow that to happen.

She gazed back at the five men in front of her. Each ran an appreciative eye over her but thankfully kept their distance. Ka’ya carefully assessed which one was likely to attack first.

“It’s getting dark, Dirt. Legend said we had to be back by dark,” a man behind Dirt muttered.

“Legend?” Ka’ya asked, tightening her grip. “Where is he?”

She had heard of Legend. He was the leader of one of one of the largest groups of raiders – and the man she was traveling to speak to. If anyone could guarantee passage for her mother and brother, it was this man.

Dirt spit on the ground before he shifted uneasily. “At our camp near the river,” he replied.

“I need to speak with him,” she demanded. “Take me to him.”

“Dirt…,” the man behind him started to say but clamped his mouth shut when Dirt raised his hand.

“Where is the rest of your group?” Dirt demanded.

Ka’ya lifted her chin and stared back at the man. “I travel alone,” she said.

Dirt’s lips curved upward. At first, Ka’ya thought it was in a sneer before the man broke into laughter. Soon, the other men joined in. She warily watched Dirt spit again. He grinned at her.

“Well, my lady, then travel alone no longer. We will take you to our fair leader and he will decide if you are to have a proper escort,” Dirt announced with a low bow before he glanced up to where her hand was still on her sword. “You may take your hand off your sword, Huntress. I have no desire to die today.”

“Huntress!” the men around him exclaimed.
