Chapter Two
"So Briar, tell me, what have you been up to?" Said Lark at dinner. Briar described his adventures to Lark, while Evvy – who sat on the left of Briar – stared at Sandry.
Hmm, she seems nice...but I don't trust her. Nobles should keep to nobles. She thought.

After dinner, Briar and Evvy headed upstairs. Evvy followed Briar into his room and closed the door behind her. Briar turned around and stared at her. "Evvy, what are you doing?" He asked.
"I need to talk to you." She said
"Okay, talk –"
"Are you sure we can trust her!?" She burst out
"Who are you talking about?" Briar asked, exasperated.
"That noble!"
"Who? Sandry? Are you crazy? Of course we can trust her! Why shouldn't we?"
"I – I don't know. I guess I didn't think that far" Evvy said, discouraged.
Briar sighed, fighting to regain his calm. "You're probably just tired; go to bed. I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight."
"G-goodnight."
Stupid! She thought, Stupid! There has to be a way to keep them apart without Briar knowing! She crawled into bed. Evvy could not sleep. She knew there was a way, some way, to keep them apart. Lying there, she suddenly thought of something.

It was about midnight before Sandry crept out of bed. She wanted to do some thinking and the fresh air always helped. She crept past lark and was almost at the door when a voice said, "Don't be out too late, okay?"
Sandry smiled, "I won't."
Sandry walked through Rosethorn's gardens. Under the moonlight, the dewdrops glistened on the flower petals.
"What are you doing?" Said a voice, different to the one before.
Sandry spun around to see Evvy standing behind her. "Uh, Evvy, what are you doing here? It's late, shouldn't you be in bed?"
"Shouldn't you?" Evvy remarked coldly.
"I like thinking under the moonlight," said Sandry, "it helps me concentra –"
"Stay away." Evvy cut in.
"I'm sorry?"
"Stay away from him, or you'll regret it. Why don't you go find a prince or what's-it to be with." Evvy turned away from Sandry and climbed the wall to her window.
Sandry, eyes wide with surprise, frowned and went back to her room. She hadn't imagined this happening.

Robot : Evvy's jealousy will really start take effect in the next chapter. Thanks for the pointers, I typo a lot.
Fallen: CoM is my favourite out of all the Tamora Pierce books. When she kept mentioning B/S being brother – sister I kept cringing. They seem perfect for each other!
