“Why are
you in such a hurry, I can barely keep up with you and you are hurting my arm,”
she daringly shot at him.
He laughed out loud and sneered down
at her as he grasped her arm firmer, “Wouldn’t you like to know. I will tell you this; if I find your little
friends I will rip them apart. Too bad
you are not out there to warn them.
Instead you get to sit in your little cage like a good little woman and
think about what I might be doing to them.”
She wished she had not asked. She knew if Dario had survived he would be
waiting for a chance to free her and he could possibly get caught. Not to mention Alex and Levi would never
leave her or Dario. If Dario was dead,
the unthinkable, she knew Alex and Levi were out there waiting to find a way to
get her out. The thought made her cringe. She had to escape or else she was afraid they
could all be dead. She was just grateful
the rest of the group got away and they were hopefully on their way to meet up
with the bigger group.
As
they got closer to the cage, Malkia examined the area around it. There were tents surrounding it and the
forest was at least fifty yards away. Theia
loomed above the forest, her presence creating a feeling of home, which made
Malkia’s desire to end this imprisonment even more important. If she could get away, hopefully Parowan will
be waiting for her and she could just whistle.
Of course then she would have to fly fast enough to out run their
arrows. She knew she could not escape
that way. Her escape had to be thought
out carefully in order to keep everyone safe, including Parowan.
When they reached the cage, the
wolf-man opened the door and softly shoved her in there. The door slammed behind her and she heard him
lock it before he walked away. She
looked around her and noticed everyone was lying down either sleeping or
staring at her.
