... coming towards them through the dark, two from the left, and two from the right. They placed their backs together to face the figures, and then realized it was four of their men. “We heard them,” Anthony whispered coming closer towards them. They were all in various stages of dress. Anthony was only in his underwear and boots. At least the other three had pants on. “Spread out. Make sure they're gone,” Cordelia breathed. They formed a fan and spread out until they found tracks in the dirt. The remaining five of the team joined them. “We checked the southern and western side of the village. No tracks and nothing seemed disturbed,” Matthew said softly. “You heard them too?” Cade asked. He was shocked they had heard it all the way on the other side of the village. “Don’t sound so surprised Cade, that’s what we’re trained for. I did have to wake the other four though,” Matthew said grinning. “Shut up Matthew,” they all said. “Focus,” Cordelia hissed. “We need to make sure there are no werewolves in our village.” The tracks showed that there had been three. It showed them coming in and stopping about ten yards from Cade’s house. Cordelia’s tracks were the only ones that continued until they disappeared at Cade’s porch. “They must have stopped when I called you,” she said to Cade.

I had fallen asleep with the candle still lit. I heard you call my name, but I wasn’t sure for a brief second. It sounded so strange.” They all looked at each other and snickered. “Yeah, you thought it was a dream coming true, hearing Cordie calling your name,” Anna said. “Cause that’s the only time he’ll ever hear that,” Luke said, and they all laughed harder. Cordelia’s face turned red because of what had happened between them earlier. She was glad that it was too dark for them to see it. Cade didn’t look at her, so she knew he was thinking it too. “That’s enough,” she said, “It’s almost dawn. Go back home get some more sleep because we are going to need to patrol the perimeter tomorrow and see if they have a lair nearby, or if they were just strays that wandered too close and were camping for the night.” She handed Cade back his knife, “Thank you for opening the door.” “Anytime,” he said softly.
