Old Acquaintance

(Author note - Unedited Chapter)

"What's wrong? You seem like you're afraid of something." Leo had a good idea what the problem might be, but he wanted to confirm it for himself.

"N-No I'm fine... Really there's nothing..." Jason kept looking around and behind him the entire time he was speaking.

"Are you looking for someone?" Leo asked with a suspicious tone.

"No... I'm just worried I'll get in trouble for talking too much... I should probably get back to work..." Jason hurried and left before Leo could say anything.

The older guard, Jason's brother, let Leo's carriage in and then went back to work as well. It was the strangest thing, Leo could feel the fear exuding from the two guards. It was like the area around them was covered in a thick fog.

Leo sat down in the carriage again as it moved into the village. "You were arrested?" Clay asked while raising an eyebrow.
