Prologue
The burning arrow thudded into the wall.
"Fire." Heba's eyes widened as he heard the sound and turned in reaction.
The old, dry wood of the meeting house ignited in an instant. Dark oily smoke filled the air, scratching his lungs and making him choke. Around him, his new friends cried out in shock before grabbing weapons, preparing to fight for their lives.
'This is because of me.' Heba thought.
Arrow after arrow sliced through the air, stoking the flames higher. Through the haze of ash, he desperately sought Atem's crimson eyes. He knew he would protect him no matter what, but he was in danger, too. If something happened to Atem while he was trying to rescue him, he could never forgive himself.
Coughing from the soot-thick air, he grabbed Atem's hand and ran with him toward the door. But they were ready for them.
Silhouetted against the flames, a dark, forbidding line of figures stood just beyond the edge of the meeting house. None of them brandishing weapons; they didn't have to in order to make their threat clear. Heba knew they had come for him. They had come to punish Atem for breaking their rules. They had come to kill everyone there.
'This is all happening because of me. If Atem dies, it will be all my fault.' He thought to himself again.
There was nowhere to go, no place to run. They couldn't remain there, not with the blaze around them roaring, already so hot that it stung Heba's skin. Soon the ceiling would collapse and crush them all.
Outside, the vampires waited for them.
