Chapter Fifteen

“Clark Hunter, it’s certainly been a long time. I thought you were dead with the rest of your brethren.”

“Wait, your last name is actually Hunter?” Quinn interrupted.

Filippa pointed to Quinn. “Is she with you? She’s quite brash.”

Clark smiled. “I remember you being that way when you were her age.”

“You don’t remember me when I was that age. That was millennia ago.”

“You know what I mean,” Clark replied. “If by brash you mean that she tried to get you to get the hell out of here, I’d suggest you listen to her. She’s right. There’s trouble coming, and it won’t be long before it finds you .”

As if to punctuate the statement, a crash of glass from the front of the house alerted them to the arrival of at least one of their unwanted visitors.

“Time to go, Filippa,” Clark said. “I’ll explain as we get out of here. Bring Alistair along. My car’s out back.”

“What about the girl? You’re going to leave her here to fight off a group of the demon-kinder alone?”

“She can take care of herself, and she has her own special way to get home.”

Filippa turned to Quinn and offered the slightest of bows before saying, “Thank you for your warning and protection, Huntress. I shall not forget your service.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman turned, gesturing for Alistair to follow, and headed out the back door into the night.

Clark pointed to the front of the house. “Keep them busy until I get far enough away that they cannot follow. Return to the farmhouse as soon as we’re safe. Don’t try to be some sort of hero. I’ll see you there.”

He left, and Quinn spun, drawing her Bowie. She slipped to the side of the doorway and waited for the intruders to come and search this part of the home.

A glance at the HUD map showed two of the red dots centered over her position. Two more had moved around the outside of the home. She hoped Clark and the others had gotten away. It was strange that she couldn’t see him or those he’d left with on the display hovering in front of her.

A creaking floorboard drew her attention back to the danger all around her. She wondered how long she’d need to give Clark before she could bug out. Part of her, in the back of her mind, screamed in terror at facing four of the demon-kinder, as the Fae woman called them. They were strong and able fighters in person. Inside the VR system, who knew what abilities they’d gained.

Quinn planned to leap out and slash out with her knife at the first one coming down the hallway. That didn’t work.

The plan went south when the intruder dove forward into the kitchen, passing right under her blade and rolling back to her feet behind Quinn.

Quinn felt a tingle on the back of her neck, and her amulet flashed with a sudden chill. She raised her blade up and behind her head.

A powerful blow from the other’s weapon clashed with her Bowie, which barely parried the attack.
