Blood Hunt
““Who’s there?” Sarah asked. “Who are you? Please … who’s there?”
“You are no longer in danger.” The voice, male, was young but ancient. Sarah couldn’t explain it, but Two would’ve recognized the quality immediately. She would have thought of Theroen.
“Please, I … is Rhes OK? I’m scared.” Sarah hated this, feeling like a rabbit caught in a snare, blind and trapped and so afraid. Not for the first time in her life, she cursed her lack of sight, convinced that things would be better if only she co...uld see.
“He is breathing. Beyond that, I don’t know.”

“But did you kill them?”
“I did.”
