They're going to kill the man and sacrifice the woman now. There isn't time to rescue them both, Howard said. He had a high-powered rifle and was searching the darkness.
Wilkes stood not eight feet from me, to my right. I guess if it saved me from seeing him naked, I could live with it. Linus Beck was wearing the proverbial black hooded robe. She opened a mouth full of fangs and snapped them near his face. Roxanne appeared on the other side of the tree, just there, like magic.
If you kill us, all you can do is watch Charlotte die. Niley yelled, You cannot cross the circle, Anita. I felt the hard edge of his panic and ran faster. I felt Richard running, running towards us. I ran in the dark and couldn't see and didn't need to. I ran as if the ground told me where to go, and the trees opened up like welcoming hands. I ran like I'd run earlier in the day with Richard. They'd know I was coming now, but it couldn't be helped. I unleashed that power inside me and sent it outward, casting like a net to catch a faint, ruffling scent of evil. I had to believe it as I threw myself into the black woods. When he came to, he'd get them into the house and they'd rescue Daniel.
I left him with Roxanne and the vampires and Ben. I eased up on the gun more and blinked at him. I was liquid and barely contained within my skin. It was like my skin expanded outward, touching every tree and bush. I'd never been so aware of the scent and sounds of a summer night. The marks with Richard were open and roaring. A moment of concentration told me where they were. Jason and Jamil were supposed to be on the other side of the clearing. Nathaniel and I lay on the ground at the line of trees, watching. I wasn't sure how badly he was hit, but I'd hit something. I pulled off one careful shot and he went down. I sidled up to a tree, leaned my arm against it, and sighted on his shape in the bright darkness. She pressed clawed hands into the bark of the tree on either side of him and clawed long furrows in the bark. They're going to kill Charlotte to try and find something that isn't even here, you asshole.
