Holden heard some rustling in the grass on the trail. "That better not be." He thought to himself. He opened his mind to everything around him, "If your an animal don't you even think about attacking me." He said slightly peeved. "Damn animals, they are swarming to me Solomon." He said narrowing his eyes. A low growl escaped his throat.

"What's wrong daddy?" Jason asked concerned.

"Animals, they hate vampires. They tend to attack." Holden said in a whisper so Amanda couldn't hear him. "Amanda how are you doing back there?" He asked looking at her.

"I'm fine." Amanda said sounding a little scared.

"Good, the trail is almost over. And we will take a break by the pond so the horses can rest for a few." Holden said.
