Chapter 51

• Bodies filed out of the trees in a long line, moving silently toward the building.
• I was leading the women, our guards flanking us. Arius and Quinton would be right behind us, but I focused on where I was going.
• I knew the lower door held only one guard, so we were going in that way. Bethany was close to my side, we were short enough, it enabled us to stay low and out of sight. I paused as we reached the door and stood to one side. I knew there would be a guard on the other side. Turning, I glanced to Arius, he gave an abrupt nod and pulled a sword off his back.
