Humphrey looked at her in a serious facial expression.
"Are you sure you have a plan?" He asked. Lilly nodded. "Come with me…" They then started to walk to the valley.
Garth had finally woken up. His vision was blurred, but he could make out some details. He was in a cave of some sorts.
It was wet and dark. He tried to move. He noticed he was tied up. He heard footsteps approach him.
"Who's there?!" He yelled.
"Just your master…" The voice said smoothly. His vision came back and he saw Jacob standing in front of him.
"What do you want and why am I tied up?" Garth asked Jacob didn't say anything. Garth was about to ask again when Jacob kicked him in the belly.
He writhed there in pain. Jacob then pulled Garth by his top hair and made him look at him.
"You will call me by your master…" He ordered.
"And what if… I don't?" Garth groaned. Jacob smiled. He then kicked him again in the belly.
Garth then started to cough up blood. Jacob then took him by the hair again.
"I hope I make myself clear…" Garth wanted to speak when Jacob smacked him across the face.
"Do I make myself clear?!" He yelled. Garth nodded as he coughed up more blood. Jacob smiled.
"Good, boy. Now, I want you to stay here until I come back. If you don't, there will be consequences." Jacob then left the cave. He looked around. The sun was going down.
He smiled as his time was here. He loved to work in the dark. It was the only time to keep him hidden.
He then walked away while Garth was groaning in pain. So this is what Kate was feeling. He felt sorry for her, but now it was his time to be the victim.
How was Humphrey going to save him? More importantly, when was he going to see Lilly again?
Meanwhile, Aaron attended to Kate's wounds. She was scuffed up pretty bad. But it was nothing he couldn't manage.
He cleaned up the wounds with water and applied bandages from a box to her skin. Kate sniffled.
"Where's Humphrey?" She asked. Aaron looked at her. He felt sorry for her. She went through all of this and was worried about Humphrey.
What a dedicated mate. "He's… helping jasper. He'll be back soon."
"I'm marrying evil…" She said. Aaron stopped what he was doing and his eyes widened.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"When I marry Humphrey, I'm going to marry all of the evil that is with him. And you know I can't do that…" She then started to cry. Aaron then hugged her.
"When you marry Humphrey, all of the evil will be easier to conquer. Trust me."
"How do you know?" She asked as they were still hugging.
"He's Humphrey…" Aaron told her. That made Kate smiled and hugged Aaron even more. She needed this.
