It would always be a reminder of what had happened and how close they’d come to the end.
The house had everything they could ever need stored inside. There was a chicken coop outside, providing them with not only eggs but occasionally meat. The garden had fresh vegetables and fruits.
No one had come around, but that didn’t mean they’d let their guard down. They’d found their weapons and a small arsenal of additional guns and ammo that would help them protect their new home.
The five of them worked hard to keep everything running smoothly and to keep each other safe. It had been weeks since they’d even seen any Unholy in the area.
Kate sat down on the bed next to Ethan, and he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
“So,” Ethan said with a long exhale. “I wanted to ask you something.”
“Okay?” Kate said questioningly.
“Are you doing all right here? I mean are you good? I know how badly you wanted to find something more,” Ethan said looking down at his feet.
Kate placed her hands on Ethan’s cheeks and turned him to face her. “I’m good. This is good.”
“But, don’t you want—"
“I want to be here with you. It doesn’t matter if anything is out there, at least not right now. I just want to be with you and not have to worry as much what’s lurking around the corner.”
Ethan smiled. “If you want to go, you’ll tell me?”
“I will,” Kate said pressing her lips to Ethan’s. She pulled back and looked into his eyes. “I promise.”
The house had too much for them to give up. If there were someone out there fighting against The Unholy and trying to rebuild, they’d eventually come find them, or at least that’s what Kate told herself. For now, staying was exactly what they all needed, and she knew it would be crazy to do anything else.
So, they’d stay… for as long as they could. And Kate and the others hoped that would be a long time.
This is the end of Hunted the third book in the Falling Darkness series.
