Chapter 3

Gilan

My eyes opened. I looked down at the child in my arms. The tent flap was thrown aside.

"Here they are."

"Good. Bring them to my master outside. We'll take them." The man, who brought Ava here in the first place, dragged Ava out of my arms, waking her. She whimpered, still not fully awake. The man who said he was taking us to his "master" rolled his eyes and smacked her. I growled and lunged at him. I was grabbed around my throat.

"Someone's protective. Good. That's good."

They started dragging us out of the tent. They forced us to our knees in front of a tall man. I looked up trying to see who it was. The back of my head was hit. When he spoke he had a low voice. It was full of malice and condescending.

"Ranger Halts former apprentice. Oh look he brought a little friend." He grabbed Ava's blond hair. I sneaked a glance at him. I saw the white blond hair, the pale skin, and the thin red lips. My face went pale.

It couldn't be- he wouldn't.
