Duncan had awakened from the nightmare covered in sweat and breathless. The panic is had caused held him as still as possible as he made certain it had just been a dream. After a few moments, he realized he was alone in the cottage he was repairing for himself...and then he heard the scream.
He bolted out of his cottage, shirtless and unarmed. It didn't matter to him how vulnerable he was. He knew that in the long run it would be better that he face whatever danger there was instead of anyone else. That included Michelle. He just wished he had his sword.
The battle with the hounds was brief...and bloody. There was no winner. When it ended, the hounds had disappeared into wisps of putrid smoke and Duncan lay dead in the grass. Multiple bites and gashes decorated his lifeless body while the ground soaked up his blood. The sun was just cresting the horizon which left the scene still colorless, but that wouldn't last for long.
At least he'd saved the hounds' original prey.
