Chapter 50 Defending

• Devon
• An estimated forty hunters-as far as I could see-were waiting outside, armed and deadly. Their plan was clearly to wait for us to exit the building, but a couple of shots were fired, so we fell back.
• We were about forty strong as well, but only about a dozen of us were a part of our team of fighters, the rest were the abused supernatural prisoners, mostly werewolves, several fae, and a pale black-eyed creature which I could not identify. Looking into its eyes sent a shiver of unease down my spine. I had been tempted to leave it locked up, but Kain had insisted that no prisoner would be left behind, and the vampire queen had assured me it was more or less harmless so I let them have their way without a fight. It huddled at the back of the group, and I set one of the wolves to keep an eye on it.
