Chapter 5

Anjasa saw the dark man watching her over her shoulder as she cleaned away Zarach’s mess. He had kept quiet as he guided her to the washroom, his dark, seemingly black-lined eyes glued to her.

There was no escaping the fact the man was foreign, but he seemed at least human. His skin was a sandy brown, his clothes dark leather that covered the whole of his body up to his jaw, but for his sleeves, which showed signs of some exotic tailoring. He was about the same height as Zarach, but judging by the strong arms he sported, he had to have been stronger still.

About his head he wore a hood and a face mask that covered all but his eyes. Those curious eyes bored through her, as if surmising her very soul. They weren’t right. And though they should’ve looked appealing to her, instead she got some strange feeling that she was in danger. Danger beyond that of the mortal, as if her very soul were in peril.

She’d been in trouble like this before. Rather, she’d gotten herself in trouble, just like this, more than once. One of the downsides of living so long was being able to repeat her mistakes as often as she could. Anjasa knew why she did the things she did. After all, her time at the hands of the man she only knew as ‘The Jailer’ were filled with training.

Still, it always surprised her just how deeply he’d affected her very mind and soul.

Yet even he couldn’t touch her like the strange man behind her, and as she finally put the washcloth away, she didn’t speak to him. She didn’t see the need.

Normally she’d be coy, playful even. She’d get herself in more trouble, and love the punishment she received from him. With this one, though, she was obedient in a way she’d never known herself to be.

Done with her cleaning, he quietly led her back out into the candlelit hallway and down to the front exit. He paused long enough for her to get shoes and claim one of the coats, though as soon as she had pulled it on, he had opened the door and was standing outside waiting for her.

She could only follow him into the night as he began to lead her across the yard to the gate. His scent came to her, musky, masculine, but hinted with strange spices that made her think of the desert.

“What are your plans?” he asked, his voice strangely accented as he quietly manipulated the gate open then closed.

“I figured you were supposed to inform me of my plans,” Anjasa shrugged. “Take care of his problem. Perfectly, it was suggested.” She felt uneasy, and there was so much she wanted to ask the man, but she didn’t dare. Not yet.

He led her on down the street, turning into one alley, then another. The strange man had no fear of the lower class district’s dark ways. “You are going to convince him you have
