Chapter 55: Escape

Koray screamed.

"Calm down!" Brekk growled. "I'll drop you if you keep moving around like that and it won't be a pleasant landing. I've got you, just hold still."

Koray closed his eyes, but opened them again because that was much worse. "I think I hate this more than horses."

Brekk gave a ragged laugh. "I just want to get us far enough away they'll have a hard time finding us. Though what we are going to do from there, I don’t know." He started to say something more, but stopped and fell silent.

Silence was more than fine by Koray, even if it left him remembering all over again the horrible fight with Sorin. The look on his face, his cold words, the way he had ordered Koray arrested. He had known whatever they had would never last, but he had dared to believe it would not end so horribly. Sorin had ordered him arrested. Men he had started to believe might be on his side—had thought finally realized Koray was on their side—had put him in manacles.
