After hearing about what had occurred. I was tired and depressed they helped me to go back to the apartments. I spent time talking to my fellow hunters and spending time with Rowan and Sky. I look out of a window and saw the burned ruins near the gates but I did not see any visible creatures moving around but could see the red eyes in the deep shadows as they watched the fort. As the darkness came we went to bed. I awoke a few hours after darkness fell. I was not sure what awoke me. I felt Jay next to me stir. Then I heard what had awoken me a thump as though something had fallen. Jay woke up and got out of the bed to see what was going on. It was then that the room to our bedroom open up. A wash of torch light came into the dark room and Asher came in. He was followed by his hunters. Asher held a bloodied knife in his hands. I could see in the main room of the apartment a body on the floor. Asher and his cronies did not say anything but barged into the room. Asher grabbed Jay and pushed him against a wall. Jay was only dressed in a white undershirt and a loin cloth. “I would have loved to have some time with you” Asher said, “but we are out of time, and you tried to take what is mine”. I saw the knife flash in the torch light and Jay grunted. I saw Jay fall a red stain growing on his shirt. The Asher came to me. “Take him” Asher said to his cronies “We are almost out of time”. I saw one of the hunters come up to me and put a cloth over my mouth. I could smell the chemical and began to hear shouts and screams from outside as my mind went dark.
