Chapter Eight

"Ivy!" Maxim exclaimed, gathering her close to his body.

Ivy pressed herself to him until she could barely breathe, but she didn't care about breathing. She didn't care about anything except that she had gotten Maxim out of the room.

"I love you," she said again as she pushed back to look at him, wanting to be able to look into his eyes as she said it.

"I love you, too," he said. "How did you do that?"

"It doesn't matter right now," she told him, releasing him so that she could pick up the bags she had dropped and hand them to him. "Right now we have to get out of here. If Pyra catches us, both of us are dead."

"What about the rest of my men?"

"I can't help them," Ivy said. She took a moment, letting a painful, difficult breath seep out of her lungs. "I got you out. Now what you do is your choice. You can stay here and try to fight the guards and get the rest of your men out, or you can come with me. It's up to you."

Maxim didn't hesitate. He reached up and she felt his hand cup her cheek.

"I will always choose you."

He slung one of her bags over his bag and took the blanket from her so that he could tuck it under his arm. Feeling a surge of energy as if she had already slept through the night rather than worked the entire day, Ivy ran back through the main room and to the front door of the building, knowing that Maxim was right behind her. She paused at the door, waiting for any sound that might tell her one of the guards had come around front to check on the surrounding area. When several seconds of silence passed without her hearing anything, she opened the door and both of them eased out, closing the door carefully behind them.

The ground seemed to unravel beneath her feet as she ran down the street toward the back of the settlement. Though they knew that this would put Maxim at further risk of coming into contact with more of the flowers, it was safer to disappear into the darkness away from the houses and buildings and slip out of the gate at the back of the settlement than it would be to try to go through the front. This way they had a better chance of getting out without being detected. As they moved she repeated milestones to herself.

Beyond the houses.

The base of the hill.

The stone wall.

The back gate.

They burst through the gate with such speed Ivy didn’t even remember unlatching it. She didn't slow down as the ground began to be illuminated more by the moonlight than by the torches lining the main street of the settlement and the faint glow of the solar lights from some of the windows. The bottoms of her feet ached from the weight of the bag and the pressure of her pace, but she pushed herself harder, putting more and more space between her back and the buildings at the bottom of the hill.
