THE NIGHT RUNNER[hamish duke x reader]

chapter 8

I ran to the packhouse but when I got there I saw jack standing at the entrance "what happened?" Lillith asked us both and I gestured for jack to go first "the order is after us and they want blood" "explains why Gabrielle tried to kill me five minutes ago" I sighed "we need ideas" Hamish said, "actually I think I might have one" jack said and then Alyssa walked into the room "hi" she said nervously "oh hell no" "you must be joking" Hamish and Lillith said at the same time "three not good with new people, I'm y/n" I smiled kindly and she nodded

"she shouldn't be here. You got a problem witchy-poo?" Lillith mocked "I didn't expect to see women here" Alyssa admitted "it's the 21at century, women can be werewolves" Lillith scoffed "chill killeth" I rolled my eyes, she was being her hostile self again "yeah I know" "she's here to help," Jack said before he led Alyssa to the living room "she's in the order. Why should we trust her?" Lillith asked jack "she's in the room," Alyssa said, "why should we trust you?" Lillith asked her directly this time "because I just endured torture instead of ratting you out" Alyssa told us "your own people tortured you?" I frowned, how sick is this order? "It's complicated" she sighed, "They thought she was a werewolf" jack explained "that's not so complicated" Hamish shrugged "she should not be here," Lillith said "she can help us find Randall," jack told her "I know this divining spell. It's like a magic compass" "I read about it" I muttered, "where?" She asked "my mom's diary, I can help you" I offered and she nodded "do it" Hamish has us the final approval "what? You can be serious" Lillith chuckled sarcastically "I'm always serious," Hamish told Lillith "what if she needs the cerebral fluid from an unborn baby?" " you've got some?" Alyssa asked and I frowned "note to self, werewolves are humorless" she sighed while taking out the ingredients "where's your magic go-bag?" I asked jack "I don't have a magic-go bag, I have a kit" jack said and I chuckled "we need something that is uniquely Randall's," I said

and jack brought me his glasses "that's good" I gave it to Alyssa wi she can finish the compass "inveniatur Randall Carpio" Alyssa chanted, earning confused expressions from the knights "where's the ringing?" Hamish frowned "maybe the spell didn't work" Lillith scoffed "it's working" Alyssa smiled when the piece of wood moved, showing us the way to Randall.

"Hey, I'm sorry about Lillith, she's nice once you get to know her" I told Alyssa while we followed the compass "yeah, she'll warm up to you eventually" Hamish reassured her "don't worry, You get used to it" Alyssa smiled "why do you sound like the voice of experience?" Hamish asked her "oh, we had a couple of freshman classes together. I doubt she reminds me" she shrugged before stopping "up there" she pointed at a blouse door. We were at an old felicity gay was near the college, more like abandoned felicity by the way it looked..."Okay let's do it" I sighed and Hamish nodded before we started walking but Alyssa stopped us "you can't just walk in there" "sure we can," I told her "that's not how we do things" "it's how we do things" Lillith clarified for Alyssa before she walked up to the door
