The day had started out nicely. Colleen had been part of a team working on a dig site to uncover a piece of lost history. Given she is an expert in Celtic history and mythology she had been a pretty important member of the team.
Some allowances had been made due to her bad leg and her pregnancy of course but it had been honestly fun working with this group and teaching some of the curious grad students.
Getting kidnapped by an alien version of the Wild Hunt hadn't been part of her agenda for the next few months. The Hunt's Man seems unwilling to loosen his grip on her in spite of the strange man who just... sort of showed up. Colleen has a feeling even if this alien lets her go it's only going to be the beginning of something very annoying.
She is correct on that. Somehow the mystery man in the grey coat rescued her by creating a distraction. Now they're trying to keep several steps ahead of the Wild Hunt. Colleen had been trying to figure out how many of them there were so she could come up with a plan. Especially since the Hunt's Man had seemed interested in her for some reason and Colleen is unwilling to speculate on why that might be. She'd rather stab the alien for bruising her wrists.
"Slow down please, I can't run," she hisses keeping her voice low as she ducks behind the trees. Colleen tugs her coat about her body more tightly. The wind out here is freezing and Colleen feels like her everything is sore. She still hasn't even introduced herself to the man with her. They're a bit busy trying to stay alive.
