"Keeper, hm, haven't heard anyone call me that in a decade or two." Witsburg says, and I watch him intently.
"That's because you've been a ghost up until now. So why all of a sudden did you appear out of thin air? Is it related to Abigail? Will something bad happen to her?" Darius asks, desperation in his voice and eyes.
But after all the bombardment of questions, Witsburg remains silent for several long seconds.
"Tell my boy, what is the number one rule of a Keeper?" Witsburg speaks with a tone that sends a chill up my spine.
I know this is all a memory, but still, I step away from Witsburg and make it to Darius' side…behind him even.
Darius doesn't respond, he just keeps his head low, as though speaking to his superior.
This…seeing Darius like this, unsettles me in ways in can't describe.
"Well, let me remind you. A Keeper's number one rule, is to keep his secrets to himself." He turns his side, like a possessed doll.
