When Zoe rounded the corner to the rear of the old abandoned cottage, she saw Lucas sitting on Andreas' back. Andreas was struggling against the hold Lucas had on his wrists.
"Stay still, old man," Lucas spat, yanking Andreas' wrists harder to get him to stop struggling.
As Zoe got closer, Andreas heard her approach and caught her scent.
"That little bitch told you where I was, didn't she?" the elder sounded absolutely unhinged with rage. "She's too damn smart for her own good," he snarled.
Lucas rose and pulled Andreas up to stand with him, and the elder sent such a vicious glare her way, she stumbled back a little.
"What happened to you?" Lucas asked, noticing that she was drenched in water and shivering.
"I fell in the creek," she shrugged, teeth chattering. "So I was right!"
