13. Safety in Numbers
After a couple of days training with my new friends I was itching to put into practise what I’d learnt and, of course, hunt and feed.
“I’ve had enough of training for the moment,” I pouted. “Can I go out and hunt today, please?”
Danny laughed. “Pouting and batting your eyelashes doesn’t work on me — angel, remember.”
I let my shoulders slump forward and sat in the chair dejected. I was very hungry, even though it had only been three days since I’d fed.
“Today,” Danny said, “I’m coming with you. I’ll do some preliminary scouting while you’re hunting, to make sure they’re not laying any traps for you. Now that they know you’re different — something to fear — they’ll be hunting you in greater numbers, nothing like the small groups you’ve had success with to date.”
