I didn’t know how long we’d been fighting. I only knew my muscles shook with fatigue and the attacks were relentless. No amount of training could ever have prepared me for an onslaught like this. I didn’t know how my fellow hunters were faring.

What I knew for sure was Logan still fought at my back, and I only knew that because I hadn’t been attacked from that side yet.

No sooner had the thought flitted through my brain than I was knocked over from behind. With a grunt, I landed on my side, but quickly rolled out of the way of a spiked appendage that embedded into the soft ground rather than my body.

Ouch, that would have seriously hurt.

I bounced to my feet and sliced through the limb that had tried to impale me. Its owner let out a piercing sound of pain before stumbling back and disappearing into the madness surrounding us.

Logan!

Another demon rushed me before I was able to check for him, but I quickly reduced it to smoke and ash. I turned in a circle and finally spotted Logan’s limp body to my left.

I started toward him immediately, exhaling the breath of air I hadn’t realized I’d been holding only when he got to his knees. He shook his head once as if to clear it, and then with fear-filled eyes, swiveled his head quickly until our gaze locked. He released his own breath of relief.

With eyes on me, he didn’t see the creature rear up behind him, but I did. A warning scream broke through my throat, but before the air could even be expelled through my lungs it was already too late.

I watched as Logan grabbed for a sword that was no longer there. As he turned to face his opponent, he was backhanded in the face and sent flying through the air at least ten feet. He landed face-up on a hardened walkway, his head snapped back and connected with stone.

This time he didn’t stir.

The demon advanced on Logan with single-minded intent, its jaws already open wide in anticipation of ripping into his flesh. I sprinted after the monster, which was easily two or three times my size. Focused on its prey, it didn’t notice me coming.

At the last moment, I jumped, landed on its back, and stabbed my sword straight through to its chest. With all my strength, I pulled my weapon down and sliced through its body in a move that would have disemboweled it had it not charred to ash first.

The fight took place close enough to Logan’s prone form that some of the demon’s remains settled on his chalky skin. With fighting all around us, I didn’t have the luxury of checking his wounds. I needed to get him somewhere safe so he wouldn’t become demon fodder.

With every bit of my strength, I dragged Logan toward the house. With its walls at our back, that left only one side to defend. I had to drop his weight and battle standing over top of him twice before I reached the siding next to the garage.
