Chapter 9

We all froze and glanced around at each other. Mary looked terrified, while Laura and Elaine had serious expressions on their faces. Then the knock came again, and the sound of it echoed around the small cabin, which finally spurred me into movement.

A knock at this time of night in the middle of the woods was suspicious, but at least it sounded human. Spirits couldn’t knock on doors… right?

I glanced over at Laura, who slowly reached under her sweater to pull a handgun out of her holster. Then I looked over at Elaine, who was tiptoeing over to her bag. She reached down, silently pulled out her favorite handgun, and then nodded at me.

I motioned for the women to step out of sight of the door, and all three of them pressed themselves against the wall behind the door, though Elaine and Laura stood just in front of Mary, who was unarmed because she hadn’t completed any weapons training yet.

The knock sounded again, and I knew I couldn’t ignore it anymore. The lights in the cabin were on, so it was clear there was someone inside, and it was better to approach the intruder than let them help themselves inside the cabin, so I finally stepped over to the door.

I looked over at the women, who were staying quiet behind the door. Laura and Elaine held their weapons pointed down and in front of them, while Mary’s eyes were wide, and she was wringing her hands together in front of her. Laura wore a deep frown, but Elaine had an eyebrow raised.

I raised my eyebrows back at her, and she shrugged then gestured to the door with her chin.

“Open the door,” she mouthed silently, and she held up her gun to indicate she could handle it if anything went wrong.

Of course, I had the power of the cuffs, and I’d never let anyone hurt my women. They’d have to kill me first, and with these cuffs, let’s face it. That wasn’t going to happen.

Laura also gave me a reluctant nod, so I reached forward and unhooked the thin piece of wood that acted like a lock laid across the door. Then I slowly pulled the door open to reveal an average-looking man dressed in camouflage hunting gear. I noticed a deep gash that slowly seeped
