AN: This is a short chapter. I hope you guys like it anyways.
Dri screamed in pain and horror from the dead body lying on top of her. She tried to squirm out from under him, but it was harder than it looked. Her body was bruised and sore. Moving between the dirt and his body hurt like hell.
Dri screamed again before the body was pushed off of her.
"Dri," Mac said kneeling next to her.
She went to sit up, but cried out from the pain in her ribs. Adrenaline dulled pain. Hers was wearing off and she wished that it wasn't.
"Take it easy," Duncan told her putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Help me sit up." She told him.
"All right, but take it easy."
Mac put a hand behind her back and eased her up. She cringed a little and leaned against him. He put his arms around her in a gentle embrace.
She looked around and noticed that Richie was on the other side of her and Joe was leaning down next to Andrew. Her gaze stayed on Andrew. She had killed him. She hadn't wanted to, but she did. She'd never taken anyones life before. Sure she had been at fault for her father and for Adrian, but she had never actually killed someone.
"It's all right Dri."
"I killed him," She whispered.
Mac and Richie exchanged a glance.
"It's okay sweet heart."
"I didn't want to." She continued.
"Shh, it's going to be all right," He told her stroking her hair.
Connor took that moment to revive. He sat up taking a deep breath and grabbing his stomach where the knife wound had been. Just because he was immortal doesn't mean it didn't hurt.
He took in the scene around him. It wasn't a pretty one. It made him wonder what he had missed while he was out.
"Who was he?" Duncan asked Joe who was still leaning next to the dead watcher.
Joe sighed. "His name was Andrew Banks. He was McDaniels watcher."
"You know, Joe," Richie said. "You seem to have a less amount of watchers everyday and a larger amount of interferers and bad guys."
"Tell me about it," Joe replied sarcastically. "Get the girl out of here. I'll clean up the mess."
Duncan lifted Dri into his arms and stood up. Connor was already back on his feet walking over to them.
"When did you get here?" He asked Duncan.
"Not soon enough," The younger clansman replied.
"What happened while I was out?"
Duncan looked down at Dri who was leaning against his chest.
"I'll tell you later. Right now I just want to get her out of here."
"I'll drive," Richie stated as they headed for the car.
That was fine with Duncan. He didn't want to let Dri go. She was already beginning to shake in his arms. She was going into shock. They needed to get back to Joe's as soon as possible.
