Panic twisted in Nathan’s gut as he thought the sound had come from the cellar. Then he realized it was coming from somewhere else in the house. It wasn’t Jim or Solrin, which could only mean one thing: it was the nach, and if it was screaming then that meant the others had found it. Considering the creature sounded a hell of a lot more angry than injured it also meant that they might be in serious trouble.
Nathan knew Jim wouldn’t use his powers unless there was no other choice, the risk of Solrin seeing him and overreacting being too great. Nathan had to help them. At least with them he could do something. With Sasha…
Nathan pounded on the door once anyway, just to be sure Sasha heard him and knew that this was not something he would ever forgive the bastard for, not if he never came back.
