Chapter 74

“I don’t think I’ve ever heard you curse before,” Esther says, getting out of her cage and moving to Brent’s to unlock it.

“I have never seen you bang someone’s head into metal bars,” Brent says, getting out of his cage.

“Fair.”

Both of them run to the gate and Esther asks, “Now what?”

“We need blood or any chance of fighting our way out of here is down the drain.”

“What about the second guard who would come in any moment now.”

Esther looks over at Brent as she says this and sees a little hesitation on his face. She knows that he doesn’t hunt this way. Neither does she.

“We’ll have to,” she says.

“I know. It’s either kill or get killed. Get ready.”

They stand on either side of the door, waiting for the guard. A minute later, he enters, and Brent grabs him, covering his mouth. He bites into his neck just as Esther does the same from the other side.
