He turned towards the direction where his an to run The ground flew under his feet and the trees became a blur

"Fuck! How fast is he now?"

"Get to the vehicles!" he heard the men shout

BethBethBeth

The litany of her name drove him forward

Elizabeth checked the safety on the gun She slid it off and held it facing up All around the house ferals snarled and growled

"Where are they?" Meryn asked sitting on the sofa clutching hands with Noah, both were pale as a sheet Jaxon sat in his chair in the doorway facing the foyer The taunts outside grew louder and Meryn covered her ears

We’re co to rip your baby from your stomach, you human whore!

"Fuck off, assholes!" she yelled

Elizabeth knew that it was just bravado; Meryn was scared to death So was she She looked over to where Ryuu sat back in the recliner speaking the saain under his breath Sweat ran down his te kept back fro orking but it was exacting a terrible price The squire looked like he was in agony

She held up her pendant that was glowing a bright blue She’d activated it the second Ryuu detected the ferals approaching That was five roaned and Elizabeth heard a loud crash in the foyer Ryuu’s eyes opened

"I can’t hold this one back," he choked out fighting for breath

Meryn stood as if to go check out the noise

Elizabeth pushed her back down to Noah "Stay here! Think of the baby!" Elizabeth yelled and ran past her

She ran into the foyer where Jaxon was staring at the opened front door in horror Without hesitation Elizabeth leveled the sun was e at its chest

Grinning, he staggered to a standing position Jaxon wheeled forward placing hi feral and where she stood

"Jaxon, no!" she cried

"What are you going to do you little crippled shit?" Blood and drool dripped from the feral’s chin

"This!" Jaxon extended his left arm and moved the small brass charm inside the spell circle Elizabeth had to shield her eyes as a huge fireball shot forward, engulfing the feral in white hot flames

His screams filled the air as the stench of burnt hair and flesh per on the smoke Elizabeth pulled his chair backwards away fro blaze, back to the family room
