Bowen had been curled up with Haiku, nursing him during his illness. The moment that the spine chilling howl touched her ears though, the small fae was instantly on her feet.

Bowen's shoulder slammed into the stone doorway of the great hall with the haste with which she was running and it pulled a small grunt from her, but she didn't feel the pain.

Pressed between Tika and Art with Rudy just on the other side, Bowen pressed her forehead against her mother's chest and cried.
