Twas the Night Before Christmas

Spider couldn’t help the relived sigh that escaped him at the direct answer Rhyme gave. “I see.” He said solidly, and raised his head slightly. The fact that they may soon be under attack was lost on him, his fears no longer in the forefront of his mind now that he had someone who would protect him and care for him if the need arose. Even his previous fear of Rhyme attacking him seemed distant, if only because he knew Hannibal would never allow Rhyme to escape unscathed.

“Are you sure the hunters know he’s here?” He asked quietly, settling beside Rhyme with his head high with surprising confidence. He wondered then if he should mention Hannibal’s pack and whether or not they would offer assistance. As he understood it Hannibal came from a pack of conquerors, who had all trained in the art of battle. If nothing else he could tell Hannibal about the impending threat and he would hopefully offer to help them.
