Chapter 35

"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked Crista as I made a steeple of my fingers while watching her throw knives at a target.

I was pretty sure that if I could read her mind, I would find out that it was Risa's face she was picturing on the target. I didn't need to read her mind to find out that she was extremely pissed though. I mean, who wouldn't be? Risa had basically fired an arrow at her and if she hadn't caught it, she would be dead.

I was pissed too and if I could throw knives, I would definitely be throwing them at the target while picturing Risa's face on the target. I was meant to protect Crista - I had promised her brother that I would - but she had almost died on my watch just a little while earlier. I had thought that she would be safe here since Valack had no way to get to her here but I was wrong.
