Chapter 7:Getting Desperate.
Disclamer note: I don't own the books or characters but I wish I did.
Will rode through the silent bush as the moon crept up. He had to find them. He would never let Halt down. He looked back to see how Alyss was doing.
She was right behind him. He smiled. It was good to be on Tug again. They were twenty miles south of Grimsdell wood. That was their first destination. Then, he would set out to find Halt and get Dan and John out of harms way.
As Will and Alyss rode into Grimsdell wood, Ebony stuck her head out of the saddlebag and started showing Will where to go. After an hour and a half they came to Malcolm's cottage. They looked in .... but he wasn't there. The wooden door was locked and Shadow wasn't there. Will and Alyss said down to wait for Malcolm.
"He's probably gathering herbs or something," Will said.
"I doubt it. He would have put a note on the door," Alyss enquired.
"You're right," Will said.
Dan POV
"Alright, Dan. I'll Shut up If you do too," That was Halt.
"Deal," I said.
"So Dan," Amy began.
I nodded.
Halt kicked me, hard.
"Oh GOD!" I shouted. "My mother fuc*#g foot," I yelled.
"Dan you had a deal."
"You kicked me," I shot at Halt.
Amy didn't know this but it was part of Halt and my plan.
Normal POV
Dan wasn't smiling. He was facing the parents of a girl who he did not know. Plus he knew he would have to be nice or Halt & John would die.
Flashback
Another person came in. He was short and looked like he had been using medicinal herbs and medicine.
Dan had never met him but Halt seemed to.
"Halt?" The man asked. "How's ... Will?"
Will .....
The man knew his father or some other Will.
"He's doing fine. He's married, has two kids. This is one," Halt said, pointing to Dan. "This is Dan. Will is helping me run the fief. Crowley says soon he will get an apprentice."
"Will is married? I bet he has Alyss," Malcolm said.
"You're absolutely right. How is Shadow and Trobar, Malcolm?" Halt asked.
Shadow, Trobar and Malcolm. He had heard his father talk about them.
And then he remembered.
Macindaw.
Dan took a breath and sat down.
