As promised, two parts in one day
--------------------------------------------
The boy had gained some freedom. He stayed with Javert, for Javert provided what was essential for him to survive.
They were always moving, and the girl would do her best to keep up on foot. Staying in the forests when they were there and following a safe distance behind when there was nothing but grass.
She noticed that the boy was soon taught the practice of chiving drav. She watched the boy go off at night to a farm to feed an unfortunate animal some drao, a poison that would not contaminate the blood. She would then stay and watch; knowing she was safe for most gypsies would not go out at night for fear of meeting a spirit of the dead. When the farmer would wonder what had happened that killed his animal, the gypsies would come to the farmer's door and ask for food. The farmer, obviously relieved to have someone take an animal that died mysteriously off his hands before anything could happen to his other animals. She noticed also that the boy would refuse to eat any of the meat that the gypsies got from his little ventures.
One night, in the mountains of Devonly, there was no moon, or stars. This did not bother the girl, or the boy for she heard that the gypsies wanted the boy to go to a farm that was a little ways ahead. The girl knew where this farm was for she had just visited it herself a few hours ago for food. Deciding to get a little ahead of him, the girl crept quietly and quickly to the farm and climbed up a nearby tree. From this tree she could see the whole farm and could watch everything.
She could tell from the stillness of the night air, and the quiet of the animals, that it was near midnight, the time when the boy would normally be entering a farm. Wondering where he was, thinking he might've gone to a different farm instead, the girl slid down the tree. She landed on the ground with a soft thud. Suddenly, before she could turn around, she felt a hand on her shoulder and heard an angry voice asking, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
