There were no more voices now. The Warriors were silent and hunting. Either
they had gone in a different direction or they realized what they were hunting was
not a lost man. Inside the shadows of the cave I silently prayed not to be found.
My heartbeat sounded loudly in my ears and I wished it would be quiet. The men
were close, I knew that much. I needed to be alert and Listen for them.
Suddenly figures passed in front of the flames of my campfire. I put a hand over
my mouth to stop the scream. They would scour the area now. Why had I not
thought to put out the damn fire?
Figures moved silently in the dark and I watched them. I couldn't tell who it was,
the moons weren't up high enough to provide much Light yet.
I waited expectantly, but heard nothing, then without warning someone leapt to
the ledge of the cave and looked inside. In a second I saw my life flash before my
eyes. I did what my Damien would have done. I rushed him.
We tumbled down the slope and I used the attacker's body to break my fall. I
tried to run but a body was before me, standing in shadows. I stumbled back and
my hand grabbed at a pile of rocks and dirt. The man came toward me and I
flung the particulates in his face.
It wasn't fair or polite, but I'd never win a fight with a man. Bolting away, I tried to
get to a new hiding spot, but was stopped when I was tackled from the side.
Lucky for me the body that careened into me turned to take the impact.
I was pushed hard to the side and I went down surrounded by the solid male
form. He rolled me under him and I cursed in every language I had access to.
Desperate to survive, I struck out with flailing fists. The man just restrained my
hands as his body shook with Laughter.
“What was it you said about us?” Bane whispered in my ear.
“Something about stubborn,bull—headedand I don’t even know what that Last
word means, but I think it fits.”
I sagged with relief into the rocky ground and stopped fighting.

“No,” Evan whispered fiercely walking up, “hit Bane, what you did to me was
worse.”
In the dark I could see Evan wiping his face and shaking his head.
Before I had time to apologize Kein's smaller shape emerged from the blackness
and Bane rolled off of me.
“At Least she didn’t use you as a cushion,” Kein groused stretching his back. “I'll
feel that for a while.”
“ein, Evan I'm so sorry-" I started to say and Bane cut me off.
“None of that,” he ordered.
“My Brothers will survive. It would be good to fight us now, Ciara,” Bane
whispered in my ear.
