She blinked the last remnants of sleep out of her eyes and got up from the chair, crossing the wood floor in her stocking feet.  Reaching for the door knob she pushed gently at Buddy with her foot.  “Move, you big lug.  I can’t open the door with you in front of it.”  The dog complied, his whole body wagging now and his tongue lolling out the side of his mouth, ready to give a serious tongue bath to whomever was on the other side of the door. When she pulled the door open, a tall, familiar form was standing on her porch under the yellowish light.  His back was to her, but she recognized the jeans clad figure with the holster at his side.  Logan Farmer, the county sheriff, turned to face her and the look on his face was a grim one. “Alana.  It’s not good.”  He took a breath, his shoulders lifting and falling with the action.  “Old Herman Monroe.  I got the call about an hour ago.”  He looked down at his feet for a moment and Alana followed his gaze.  The boots were covered with mud and something else.  Blood.  She put a hand out to touch his arm.  She and Logan had been friends since they were kids and he had even dated her sister, Teagan, briefly.  Very briefly.  “What is it, Logan?”  When he looked up at her, his dark eyes were glistening with unshed tears.  “He’s dead, Alana.  His wife went to search for him when he didn’t come in for dinner and she found him in the barnyard.  She thought maybe he slipped in the mud when he was feeding the livestock but when she looked closer, it looked…”  His words trailed off and he appeared to be trying to compose himself before he continued.This time, when Alana touched his arm she closed her eyes and the image came into her mind as clearly as if she had seen it herself.  The old man lying in the muddy barnyard with his dead eyes staring up in fear and his throat ripped out.  She pulled away, her stomach roiling and tears coming to her eyes.  “An animal?  How can that be, Logan?”
He lifted his eyes to meet hers.  “You know how as well as I do.  We all knew this was going to happen.”

Buddy growled again and the cat darted through the bathroom door and slipped under the claw footed bath tub. Where she growled and hissed. Teagan grabbed the plunger by the toilet and went to the living room. There was nobody in there but Buddy was by the front door sniffing and scratching at the door frame.“What’s wrong, Buddy? Who’s out there?” As she inched closer to the door, she heard pounding.“Teagan! Let me in!” She put a hand to her breast and relaxed her grip on the handle of the plunger as she heard her sister’s voice. Went to the door and tugged on it. It was stuck. She pulled on it again. Nothing. “I can’t get the door open!”“Kick it! Hurry! I’m getting the shit stung out of me out here!”Teagan closed her eyes as she barreled toward the door with all the strength she could muster. And the door gave way as her shoulder hit it, causing her to tumble out on the porch where Riana was swatting at a swarm of bees. Lifting her hands up to the sky, she called for help. “Mother of the Earth hear my plea. Bring me the strength of the wind and the heat of the light so I may protect from this scourge.”Balls of light collected in the palms of her hands and the wind came quickly through the woods. She could hear branches cracking first then the dust and fallen leaves next. She tossed the balls of light off the porch and watched as the wind joined them to create two spiraling columns of debris. Reaching for Riana’s hands, she gripped them tightly and held on as the power of the wind sucked the swarm of bees into the columns. With a rumbling of thunder, the columns escalated into the air and vanished, taking the bees with them.

Teagan put an arm around her sister and pulled her inside the house. Riana’s face and neck was peppered with bright red sting marks and she collapsed against her sister. “They chased me. The damn things chased me all the way down the lane.”

She grinned. “It sounded like you might need cooling off.”“Dammit, Riana. I could have hit my head on the underside of the engine.” He reached for a shop rag on the bench and wiped the snow away. “What are you doing here?”She shrugged beneath the heavy wrappings of her coat and scarf. “I thought maybe you might need some help. Georgia said you had been out here for hours trying to get the truck to run.”He kicked the tire of the truck and muttered another curse word under his breath. “And just how do you think you can help?”“I worked for an auto repair shop in Texas one time. I do all the maintenance on my bike and when I had a car, I worked on it too.” She remembered the surly old biker that owned the repair shop and how he had grudgingly given her a job and then patiently taught her the things she didn’t know. He had practically begged her not to leave when she decided it was time to move on.“Really?” He shook his head. “I don’t believe you. A girl who can fix cars? I’ll bet you dinner that you can’t get this damned piece of shit to run.”She unzipped her coat and discarded it to a hook on the wall. The scarf and mittens were tossed carelessly on the work bench. “Move out of the way. I’ve got this.”Riana climbed up on the front bumper of the truck and felt it creak beneath her weight. The rust bucket was falling apart but she knew Mrs. Monroe wouldn’t replace it because it had belonged to her husband. She poked around under the hood and looked over her shoulder. “Hand me the ratchet set.” She held her hand out and waited.“Riana, there’s no way you are going to get this truck to run.”“Give me the ratchet set and stand back. He of little faith.” She wiggled her fingers at him. “Come on, make it snappy.”She heard him groan. Obnoxiously. But he handed her the set of tools she had requested. She climbed further into the engine of the truck and tinkered around with the ratchet. And chanted a little bit of a spell. After all, it was for good. Then she climbed down and motioned to him. “Go try it now.”Eric scowled at her, but he grudgingly got into the cab of the truck and turned the key. With a couple of sputters, the engine came to life as black smoke came out the tailpipe. “You cheated. I’m sure of it.”Riana grinned and slammed the hood down. “You owe me dinner, big guy.” She flipped her pigtails and walked around to the side of the barn where the animal stalls were.
