Chapter 22

Spring 2281

Sky wandered through the forest, taking care to tread lightly. Her journey was rough but nothing she couldn’t handle. The skin around her eyes creased as a sneer appeared on her face while thinking, When will they realize that things would go better with me around helping. What if something happened to Troy, then what would they do?

An evil thought popped into her mind. I could confront Troy and convince him to give the position to me and if he doesn’t, maybe... She let that thought drop. She wasn’t that vindictive and certainly not a murderer, but the resentment she felt at being left out was eating at her soul. She needed to be wanted and appreciated, to know that she was good enough to lead a party across the mountains. But Thomas felt Troy was better suited to lead the group and wouldn’t even entertain the idea of her being the leader. Just the thought of it caused her face to turn red. Her fists clinched so tightly that her nails bit into her skin and drew blood.

Realizing that she was allowing her emotions to control her, she took in deep breaths and calmed herself. She knew she needed to maintain a cool head because one slip up and the group might discover her.

Since Troy had discovered the old settlement before she did, she had to locate another means of sheltering from the elements. Luckily, she found an outbuilding that was just right for her small frame and meager belongings. She made camp, ate some dinner, and spied on the group. While gazing down at the old buildings, she noticed Kaden with his bag on his shoulder, and it appeared he was headed out. She kept a close eye on which direction he was going to make sure he didn’t accidentally run into her. She didn’t want to be found just yet.
