Azrael sat across the old table from Robyn. Eliza sat beside her. Adonis and Clay flanked Azrael on either side, with Marcellus sitting next to Eliza, the boy sitting next to Clay on the narrower end, and the other two stood behind Clay and Azrael. The bear sat opposite the boy.
"As I said before, we've come a long way." Azrael spoke softly. "There is a group, very secretive and very powerful, that has targeted a handful of people in this world, including the two of you. They're exact intentions are not clear, but the overall effect they're having on this world is one of darkness and fear. Many of their agents come from other worlds. Likewise, we who fight them come from other worlds. We've come here, to this house, to protect the two of you and get you out of this cabin."
"We know your name," Eliza said. "And Marcellus, and Clay. But who are the others?"
"I'm Adonis." The hooded guy spoke up. "I'm Azrael's nephew."
Robyn frowned. They looked nearly the same age.
"I'm Ila." The beautiful girl pulled out a compact.
"I'm Joey," the boy added. "And this is Simon Zarathustra."
The nerdy guy smiled and waved.
"What a mouthful." Robyn said. Simon blushed and looked away.
Eliza leaned over. "I think you made him uncomfortable."
Robyn looked up at Simon. "Sorry."
Simon smiled a little and nodded.
Robyn met Azrael's gaze. "So what do we do now?"
"Well, as I said before, we need to get you out of this cabin. They've located you, and more will be coming soon. Or, as Adonis has pointed out to me, we could stay in the cabin and hold them off until we can send for help. Either way will be exhausting."
