Chapter 94

There was a tone in her voice that made me stiffen. I stared intently into her black eyes searching for a reason behind her ire. But I couldn’t find anything not even a flash of the dark emotions that had laced her words.

“No,” I final answered her. “No, I’m fine. At least I’m fairly sure I am. I did take a hard fall, but as far as I could tell I just hurt my arm. Then again it’s really dark in the storage room so… who knows.”

“Why are you in a storage room?” she asked.

“We are hiding from some Eaters.”

“You and Craig?” she asked.

Everything inside me stilled and I looked at her confused. “Yes, how’d you know?”

She gave me a caustic look and waved a hand at herself. She seemed rather put out that I was questioning her Magic.

“Ah,” I murmured swallowing back the insult.

“So, you split up and sent everyone ahead?”

I nodded. “We needed supplies, so Craig and I went on a hunt. We planned on meeting back up on the other side of Albuquerque,” I explained.
