“ For fuck’s sake man! What should we do about it?”, the shorter man exploded. His eyes flashed and his voice was steadily rising. Dmitri fixed him a hard stare as he stood up. He brushed the dirt from his trousers and walked away. He could feel the man’s eyes bore into his back as he strode away. He didn’t really care, nobody was stupid enough to attack him. Especially not a fellow Leviathan. A quick search found him what he was looking for. A contraption so simple yet deadly. It involved a crossbow set up with some levers and a thin wire. The bow released whenever the wire snapped. He had seen something like this before. It was in a run in he had with the Brotherhood. This meant that they had anticipated their arrival. More importantly, it meant that hunters or a hunter had been here. He couldn’t tell if that meant they had gotten to the Wolf boy and the girl first or whether they were now working together. Things were really getting out of hand. He pulled out one of the arrows stu

TREY’S POV Ryan told him exactly what he feared. They both agreed that the best thing was to leave the campsite and running. They had no particular place in mind but to Ryan at the moment even the North pole was better than just waiting there. Ryan said he felt like they were sitting ducks waiting for the picking and Trey couldn’t agree more. The two woke up Hailey and explained what they were up to. However, she was still under the clutches of sleep and didn’t really comprehend. She just went to the car and continued her sleep. The two then packed up quickly and prepared to leave. Ryan decided to spring a trap as an afterthought. Once he was done, they drove off. Ryan drove initially, a grim face and taut hands on the steering wheel. Obviously, he was still afraid of running into the Leviathans. It was only when they had gotten enough space between them and the Woods that he began to relax. Trey had said nothing throughout but he found the whole thing funny. Ryan never really took a

HAILEY’S POV After her little argument with Trey over who should drive the truck, she had decided not to say a single word to Trey. She knew that he was still healing from that run in with the Leviathans and that considering his current state, she was best suited to drive. He had however refused claiming that he was okay. She knew he was doing it out of a misguided sense of keeping her safe. Then again, he didn’t think she could handle the car should they need to escape a pack of angry Leviathans or something like that. It annoyed her when Men thought like that. It seemed like the two she travelled thought she needed their constant and ever watching protection. The funny thing was that they had barely known her for a week. Hailey could take care of herself and she intended to prove that to them. Hadn’t she survived the death of her distant father? Hadn’t she proved herself when her Nana passed on and she had to stay on her own? They didn’t know her and yet they presumed things abou

Eventually, they agreed that Boston was the best place to lay low. This was after Ryan had rejected several other options and gotten on everybody’s nerves one way or the other. It was agreed that they would head for the next day. They would try to lose whatever tail they might have within the day. Around 3 pm, Ryan declared that he was utterly famished. He suggested the purchase of food from any restaurant or diner that they happened to come across next. Hailey was elated at the idea, the past few days had been absolute horror in terms of feeding. When she spied a McDonald’s down the road, she was salivating and nearly drooling. Especially as she thought of the Big Mac which she felt like she hadn’t eaten in ages. So, she was more than disappointed when Trey sped past it without as much as a backward glance. Her stomach grumbled angrily at having been teased but denied. She was about to howl at him but Ryan beat her to it.“Dude! Did you not see that McDonald’s or what?!”“I did”,
