Master Craven

Later on, Hunter and Blake went to the tracks because that was the only way they could forget the traumatic experience they had lived.

When they arrived, dusty and dirty and after the proper shower, Hunter helped Cam with the dinner.

"Hey, babe… how are you?" Hunter asked holding Cam from behind. Cam accepted and enjoyed the hug and rested his head on Hunter's shoulder. "Now fine, and you?"

"Still shaken up, but better" he said. "By the way, where's Raine?".

"I haven't seen her since we came back" Cam answered.

The dinner was ready and Raine didn't appear. Cam and Hunter were worried about her because there would be 24 hours since the last time she drank blood. Maybe she was week.

Cam started scanning the surroundings looking for her, until the GPS of her morpher indicated that she was in the woods. But she was not alone.

Cam alerted the rest of the rangers and soon all of them streaked out to the woods. When they arrived, they saw Raine talking to a stranger, also dressed in black.

"And your friends…are?" he asked her.

"Guys, don't worry. He's Craven. The vampire that bit me" she explained. "He's here with bad news".

"What happens, Raine?" asked Shane

"The lycans are closer than I thought. Craven and his two sentinels saw two of them at the end of the woods" she informed them.

"Raine, you must act as fast as you can. My people will help you if you want, but you know my condition" Craven said.

"Thanks, we can handle it" she said, looking to her friends. "Thanks, Craven" and saying that, she turned to her friends and went back to the academy.

"What condition?" asked Cam, whispering. "Yes, what was he talking about?" asked Hunter.

"He offered his help if I accepted to join his herd" she said.

"And what did you say?" asked Blake.

"I said that we could handle it, and we don't need their help" Raine said with her sight lost in her thoughts. Very deep inside she knew that her friends were not ready to battle yet.

"Is that bad to belong to his herd?" asked Tori. "I mean, he's a vampire and you're a lamia".

"Yes, you're right, but he needs a bride" said Raine. "I am not for sale, and I hope to have my own herd someday".

"How do you feel?" asked Hunter, trying to change the subject. "Don't you feel hungry?". He knew that Cam had also heard her last words.

"No, I was hunting when Craven found me" she answered.
