What burst in amongst us was something I'd thought to be only a legend. Then again, I'd seen far too much of what was considered legend or fairy tale ...ave very firm roots in magic or in this case Thaumaturgy. Whoever opposed us had summoned a Yaoguai, a demi-demon. Not one of the higher powers, thank God, but a malevolent animalistic spirit being that had its roots in Chinese folklore. It was also highly resistant to Mage powers.

Michelle being the biggest of the three females was not afraid to shoot anything, however, she could not see very well past 30 feet so shotguns were better for her.

Brenda and I showed them how we shot groupings and the different positions to shoot from explaining how it was important to be able to shoot.

After a while I say that I need to move as my knees are hurting. The guy (who I now know as Dave) says don't worry as he has a blanket for the ground. A mate of his grabs the blanket as im led through some bushes to a small flat area. The blanket is folded and laid on the. "He's just not worth it, if work means so much to him that he completely neglects you." I know, I know," I said fighting back the tears, "it's just that I so miss him." Him?" Mike said."Well no not him but a man, being held and being cuddled, having company, oh you know what I mean." Yes darling, yes we do," Carey murmured taking me into her arms and holding me. It felt nice and I found myself cuddling up to her, but more like a baby to a mother or like sisters than anything else.Mike leaned.
