Dawn lightened the night sky and dew sparkled on the grass as Jewel Camilius carefully moved her paintings into one of the visitor cabins. Mitch and Daren, the leaders of their two tribes, had suggested she live here until she could return to her home in Oregon.

She’d appreciated their offer. Her parents’ home, just a few blocks over, was full. Her brothers and sister and their families were staying with her parents temporarily. Anxious to have her own space, Jewel had packed the car last night and got up very early this morning. After placing her paintings in the second bedroom, she walked back out for her suitcases.

The sky had brightened. She glanced around and gasped. In the far-south corner a strange glow lit the sky. Fire! She pulled her cell out of her pocket and dialed the main ranch house. Mitch answered.

“Did you see the south sky? It looks like a huge fire to me.”

“Give me a second.” The phone went quiet for a minute.

“Damn. No, I hadn’t seen it, but a group of our men are saddling their horses as we speak. I’ll sound the alarm. Thanks, Jewel. Where are you?”

“Moving into the cabin.”

“Come here to the ranch house until we see what’s going on.”

“I was—”

Mitch cut in. “Here, now. No arguments.” His phone clicked off.

Jewel hated leaving her paintings unguarded. They were like a part of her. But, she knew to obey the leaders. She closed and locked the door and drove to the ranch headquarters.

Mitch was leaving as she came up the steps. “I’ll talk with you later.” He mounted his waiting stallion and joined Daren and the others.

Jewel watched them ride out of sight. Raoul Sherwyn and Aleron Alois had been in the group, and so had Rae’s husbands, Garth and Caedmon. The sky was an ugly red now, and the smell of smoke drifted closer with the wind. When she went inside, she saw Sara and Rae standing by the windows.

“Welcome, Jewel,” Sara said. “I’m glad Mitch insisted on you joining us. Come and have some breakfast. I'm not sure I can eat much, but we have to try. I worry about Mitch and Daren. They’re the leaders and must be out front of their men. But I love my husbands, and a little fear yanks at my heart in spite of my resolve to be brave.”

“I’m sure that’s pretty normal. If my husbands were going to fight a fire I’d be worried.”
I already am and Raoul and Aleron aren’t even my fiancés.
She turned to Rae
.
“You’re here, too,” Jewel said. “I thought being so close you’d get to stay at home.”

“Not with two husbands determined to keep me wrapped in wool. I wanted to go with them, but that was vetoed.”

Jewel heard the annoyance in Rae’s voice. “I can’t blame them. No one knows what we’re dealing with, and they don’t want to lose their new wife.” She smiled at Rae.

Rae grinned back. “I know. But I like to be at the front lines helping.”

“I’m not surprised Garth and Cad would worry about you,” Jewel remarked as they followed Sara down the hall. “You almost died from the poisonous beak injury you received from one of the enemies’ bird shifters, and then you were kidnapped. When you think about it someone appears to want you gone.”

“And when our people, who had visited the third tribe in New Mexico, were on their way home, the bird shifters tried to attack the plane. Thank goodness Ethan was piloting. With Rae’s warning and his expertise in flying they foiled the enemies’ attack. Now this fire, which the enemy undoubtedly started. Fire is bad, since most of the third tribe is living in tents. But we can help in our own way.” Sara directed them into the dining room. “After breakfast we’ll join hands and meditate. With three of us maybe we can pick up more of our enemies’ diabolical plans. It would help if we had an idea of what their next attack will be.”

Sara sat down and drank water from the glass by her placemat. “If only we had gotten reconnected with the third tribe earlier, we’d have had better accommodations built before now. This has to be difficult, for families to be brought to a strange place and live with few basic comforts and have to fear the fire will take that too. I hope after this is all over the three tribes can be rejoined and truly become family.” Sara grinned. “And that’s my lecture for the day. I tend to ramble when I’m anxious.”

Shortly after they sat at the table, Tessa brought in three plates of pancakes and cups of coffee.

Jewel took a bite of the pancakes. “These are so good. I envy you having her for your cook.”

Sara nodded. “She’s the best, and she was one of the first friends I made when I came here.”

They ate, silently enjoying the meal. “Where are your children?” Jewel asked. The house was uncommonly quiet.

“Downstairs, in the underground facility, with their grandparents and Phillip. I don’t know what we’d do without our butler, and man of all trades. He’s tireless and always there to help with anything. Tessa will be taking food down to all our visitors who are camping out down there.

“We’ll stay up here until after we meditate.” Sara took a sip of coffee. “If we joined the others below it would be safer, but because of the extra-thick walls, we’d never be able to pick up any information. Phillip left three rifles for us. We’ll be armed.”

“Jewel and I are both good with a rifle. But I haven’t shot anything or anyone in a long time,” Rae added.

“You may get your chance. Most of our men are fighting this new menace. Whoever’s in charge of the enemy might be smart enough to try and attack our headquarters,” Sara said.

Rae stood. “I agree. If we’re all finished, let’s get started with the meditation.”

“We’ll go to the study, sit on the floor, and join hands.” Sara led the way.

The curtains were drawn and there wasn’t a fire in the fireplace. Jewel shivered. The air was cool, and with the dim light, the corners of the room were shadowed. Sara walked to the windows to open the drapes.

“Don’t.” Rae stopped her. “The setting is apropos for trying to contact evil.” Rae sat on the floor and put out her hands.

Jewel hesitated. She didn’t have the same talents as her friends. All her life she’d had to deny her talent. Only her father knew what she was capable of.

He’d instructed Jewel when she was very young about why she must hide her true self. After she graduated from high school it was easier to move away and hide in the Oregon woods. Not even her best friend, Rae, suspected what Jewel had hidden.

“I’m not sure how I can help,” Jewel said. “I’ll hold a rifle and sit to the side. If anyone comes barging in, you’ll be protected.”
