Chapter 91: Rowan Intervenes

Rowan was halfway down the hill when Burger raced after her and stopped in her path.

-Rowan can’t go!- Burger cried urgently in her head.

-I have to! They need my help!- Rowan insisted.

-Cass said it’s dangerous. Rowan must be kept safe!- Burger pleaded with her.

-I will, I promise! I just need to help them!- she told him firmly.

She stepped around Burger to continue down the hill. Burger trotted alongside her, still begging and pleading with her to turn back. Rowan kept answering with a simple explanation that she had to and had no other option.

Rowan stopped just before the gate and hid behind a tree as a large group of people and animals, were-people and animals she assumed, gathered together before disappearing into the forest. They were moving slowly, making sure that everyone was together before the last one followed them into the tree line.
