Chapter Five

Annabelle had never needed a reason to hunt in the past. Or a reason to see a certain someone. Though she found herself going out earlier each day. Her brothers tried to follow her everywhere since meeting Emerick. They idolized him. He was everything every young hunter wants to be. Unlike their sister, who they thought could have been had she been born the right gender.

Since Emerick’s arrival, Annabelle had been sure her father thought all those things he used to look for in her, were in Emerick. Since she didn’t allow him to see the extent of what she could do, she knew he felt better about a man being the one who could rid the land of monsters for good. Of course, Clive wouldn’t want his only daughter to be responsible for such a thing. He would have been too afraid for her safety.

The nights got longer as winter approached. Snow came and melted. Then came again, coating the ground. The white sheen during the day made it so bright it was hard to keep their eyes open. Then at night, the crunch underfoot made it difficult not to be heard. Stalking about quietly was impossible and made hunting problematic.

“I say, we sit on the fallen logs. Wait for them to walk to us.” Emerick suggested when the snow accumulated up past their ankles.

“That would work if we couldn’t be spotted from so far away. There is no way to camouflage ourselves.” Annabelle tucked her loose hair under her hat once more. A small laugh escaped her lips as he looked around, realizing without a doubt, that she was correct. “What we usually do is hunt in shifts. Two teams of two. In different directions.”

“Yes, but now you have me.”

“Yes, we do. Which means papa will go with the twins. He doesn’t trust them not to get themselves killed.”

“How do you know that?”

“I’m a good daughter. I stay up at night and listen to them discuss things. How else would I have known I was supposed to be something more than the average hunter?”

“Such as?” He pulled a bare branch away from her path, so she wouldn’t get caught up in it.

“I don’t know. My parents never said. All I’ve heard them say is that my gifts will continue to improve and grow. Until one day I became something more, all together.”

“Maybe we will figure out what that is to be, together.” Emerick tugged a curl from her hat to wrap around his finger and drew her closer to him.

It was a move she waited for. Anything to show his interest was more than professional. Annabelle hoped, more than anything she would not get her heart broken again. She even decided after she stopped crying over the loss of Liam, that she would just never get involved with another. After spending a measurable amount of time with Emerick, she knew she couldn’t possibly continue to think that way. It would have been too hard not to be involved with someone so much like herself.
