gift was sensory, so he was able to feel the surroundings around him with exceptional awareness. He was also able to distort them. So when my mother’s team was close to where his kidnappers had taken him, his gift rang a siren of sorts, sending signals to her. They found the young Golipse and killed the members of the Council that had taken him. Unfortunately, his sight was already destroyed. They had dropped acid into his eyes; fortunately it hadn’t further reached into his body through his bloodstream, which would have killed him entirely.
    The older we got the more we learnt of our ability. Golipse was not only able to sense his surroundings, including if vampires approached them, but he could also disturb the environment. That meant that if he felt a vampire approaching, he could summon the atoms surrounding us so that we seemed invisible. This was a necessary ability to protect large cargos of supplies or human transportation. Although old and blind, he was still a fierce fighter from his many years in the raid team. Now looking into his white glazed eyes, I questioned how he must have felt when taken off the raid team. It was unusual to happen, once you were selected for your position you would usually stay in such a place until your death. But Golipse, well, perhaps they took pity on him and pushed him into the transport team. Ten years after that, Golipse was now Token Hunter in that department.
                  “And a good morning to the fine Dillian as well,” his smile stretched wider. Dillian was not too far from the carriage, folding back the thick material to reveal the young girl I had found yesterday. She shook vigorously even under her thick clothing. Her eyes lit up when she saw Dillian.
                  “You will be safe,” he said, reassuring her with sad eyes. It was something about him I had to try to hide from most. I couldn’t understand Dillian’s anguish over the human kind. Empathy was not something another hunter would fail to notice. Often I had to shield Dillian from the others, so they would not stare at him in mortification as he soothed the humans. Mercy and kindness were not common traits amongst our kind. Although I didn’t understand, I would not attempt to stop him either.
                  “Be quick today, Golipse. I feel that the air may be far chiller this morning. Perhaps we are in the presence of rain, something which we cannot afford to be trapped in,” I said, looking into the sky. Although through the trees I could see a light glimmer of light, it was almost non-existent, and if it stayed that way for the next hour or so it would probably rain. If we were caught in the rain, this trip could go wrong quickly. The rain only heightened and thickened the fog, leaving some of the hunters almost blind. The rain within these parts was quick to flood.
                  “You do not have to inform me, young one. I can feel the moisture in the air against my skin,” he said with a crisp smile. I felt foolish after I had said it, of course he could. That, after all, was his gift. I was informing the wrong person entirely. I wished him a safe journey as he transported the human to the camp. The large doors creaked shut behind us. Golipse and his members began at a quickened pace toward the south-east trail we had created for the transportation of the humans. At the horses’ full pace, they would arrive there hopefully within two days. Although they had to walk at night and in darkness, it was unavoidable. We could not have the human camp and our Guild so close together in case vampires found either one.
                  “Let’s move,” I said, taking the lead place. Although the apprentices seemed clumsy, they fell into position quickly. Once out of sight of the Guild, I breathed in heavily, slightly tightening the straps on the small bag I carried. We all had a bag which had a few supplies inside for the nights that we
