NEEDLESS TO SAY, BY the time the sun had set and the need to find shelter for the night had become desperate the collective mood had not improved. Tanya and Cassiel were still silently delighting in what had to have looked like the most anti-climactic ‘rescue’ in the history of the world, Dylan was still mortified and appalled to have done it, and Katerina was still nursing her hurt wrist.

To make matters worse, it started to rain...

“Well, that’s just perfect,” Tanya narrated in a loud, pitiful voice. “They survived the harrowing climb down the peak, only to drown in a monsoon shortly to follow.”

“It came out of nowhere,” Cassiel said softly, gazing out with a slight frown at the torrential downpour soaking the forest. “There wasn’t a cloud in the sky.”

“As far as luck goes, you have to admit that it’s consistent,” Katerina said helpfully.

Dylan shot her a reluctant grin before handing his blade to Cassiel and lifting himself effortlessly up the trunk of the nearest tree. He vanished for a moment, using the higher vantage point to scan the surrounding area, jumping back down with a plan.

“There’s a small outcropping of rocks just half a mile east. Looks like they might provide a little shelter. Everything else around here is just trees.”

“Sounds good to me,” Katerina said with a shiver. At this point, anything that wasn’t just ‘standing out in the rain’ sounded good to her. Already, it had soaked through her clothes and was trickling in freezing little rivulets down her spine. The others concurred.

They picked up speed and reached the rocks in only a few minutes. Dylan was right. They curved in such a way as to provide a bit of shelter for those gathered underneath. The only problem was, they weren’t the only ones to have gathered.

At least ten other people were huddled beneath the giant stone seeking shelter from the rain. And ‘people’ was using the term rather loosely. Even from a distance, Katerina was able to see the telltale ears of a woodland sprite, as well as the sallow complexion of a rain-drenched vampire.

Great...more vampires. And I’m the only one not covered in some degree with blood.

The group pulled up short the second they saw the others, pausing with the caution of those who had the entire might of the royal army on their trail. For a minute, they all silently debated leaving. Then a flash of lightning shot through the sky, and they decided to take their chances.

With Dylan and Cassiel in the front they elbowed their way quickly to the back of the huddled masses, taking shelter in the back of the cave. They were clustered closely but casually, with one hand always at the ready. But Katerina wasn’t worried. Their standoffish position alone was meant to dissuade any well-meaning introductions.

Of course, that always seemed to work better in theory...

“Ben Gold.” A jovial man stuck his hand right under Dylan’s nose the second the four of them had claimed space beside the others.
