Chapter 8 The Run
It took another week to sneak out all of the belongings, they planned to take, gradually they had been moving people as well. Carra and all of those who were in the most danger were in the first groups to leave, Raver had also been taken, Khedrick knew that once those who had decided to stay talked to Ancar's men, he would want to take Raver for his own.
Gherin had gone with Raver, ready to race back on their horse with warning if Raver had a vision of impending danger. Because of his position, Khedrick was in the last group to leave.
In the end Gremmal kept quiet, perhaps because Khedrick had told those who had decided to stay that anything left behind was theirs to keep, Let him enjoy it while he could. As annoying as Gremmal had been, he still didn't wish his fate on him, Raver had told him what he saw in their future, before throwing up.
Khedrick almost wished that Raver didn't have the gift he did, though it had saved them from a fate perhaps worse than death.
He looked back one last time at his childhood home, his heart full of bittersweet memories, before turning back to the road and his future.
