Chapter Thirty-Four: Return To The Lodge
(Bricks And Mortar)
***
When Hayden, Dylan and Kaitlyn got back inside the lodge, the first thing Hayden thought was that they needed to barricade the door.
Kaitlyn seemed to be thinking the same thing as she pointed to a table and ordered, "The table. Help me."
Hayden and Dylan didn't hesitate, her and Kaitlyn dropping their weapons as Kaitlyn grabbed one end while Hayden and Dylan worked together in using their good arms in holding the other, half-dragging, half-lifting the table toward the door and putting it down against the door, blocking it from anything that might want to come in and attack them. Panting, Hayden and Dylan shoved the table farther against the door, until Hayden was sure nothing could get in.
Once the door was securely blocked, Hayden went back and grabbed her knife, Kaitlyn already holding her gun, as Dylan mused, "Okay, well. Can't get much worse than it already is, right?"
Hayden shot him a disbelieving look. "Dyl, don't jinx it now."
That was when a loud crack of thunder came, lightning flashing through the windows.
"See?" Hayden said.
As thunder still roared, Dylan mumbled, "Great. Just like the cartoons."
"Yeah, because you jinxed it," Hayden retorted. Dylan glared at her and she returned it.
"It's been off and on all night. Gives us a little time," Kaitlyn observed.
Oh. Right. The allergy to water. That meant no werewolves would be prowling around and trying to kill them and let them breathe for a moment.
Right?
Hayden didn't say anything so she didn't jinx it like Dylan most certainly did, as her best friend asked, "How do you figure?"
"They don't like water, remember?" Kaitlyn reminded.
"Nick in the pool? Cat in the bath? Ring any bells?" Hayden snarked.
"Right, right," Dylan muttered, before an epiphany came to his face and he said, "Oh, we should've just been swimming in the lake all night."
Kaitlyn and Hayden stared at him as Kaitlyn retorted, "And die of hypothermia? No."
"Yeah, I'd rather be hunted by werewolves than do that," Hayden replied, rolling her eyes as she exchanged a look with Kaitlyn, the both of them rolling their eyes in unison.
"Alright, well, we're good now," Dylan said.
"We will be if you stop jinxing us," Hayden retorted.
