Chapter Fourteen

I hadn’t known him, but nonetheless, I felt guilty leaving Miles all alone. Stupid, since he was beyond my help. Except for Penny Bloom, Cade and Noah’s Tribunal were dead, but there was still a chance to save myself—and that couldn’t be ignored.

I’d let the commander know where to find Miles, then inferred that I would head back home without actually saying it out loud. Technically that made me less of a liar—at least in my opinion. Somehow I doubted the general would see it that way, but as long as I was alive to take my punishment, I could deal with it. The thought of losing my freedom didn’t seem like such a travesty anymore now that my life was on the line. We’d called Noah, and Cade arranged for us to meet him at someplace called the Doon.

There was a hulking rock formation on the left side of the car, the top of which jutted out above our heads like an awning. That, coupled with the trees and absence of light, made the scene look eerie. Like something out of a dark fairy tale.

Yep. The last thing the girl sees before some monster swallows her whole…

Still, creepy or not, it was beautiful in its own way, and I found myself itching to get my hands on pencils. Several shades of green and brown, accented by dark gray. On paper, I could make it something it wasn’t. Inviting and pure. On paper, I could turn it into something magical. That was the beauty of art. The thing my dad never understood. He fought against the world, making it safer for the people by using force. Tactical strikes and well-thought-out defense plans. I used something different. Something that, while not as direct as his methods, was still sorely needed. Art was my way of giving people hope. Supplying them with the knowledge that beauty still existed. That it was worth fighting for.

“So, why here?” The silence in the car wasn’t uncomfortable, really, but I think that’s why it bothered me. I’d always been somewhat of a lone wolf, and when we began bouncing from base to base almost once a year, I resigned myself to the life of a loner. It was something that didn’t bother me anymore. Except now, sitting here with Cade, I almost felt like I’d been missing out. Maybe it was because I didn’t have Mom anymore. My best friend and partner in crime. Or maybe it was something else…

“We come here because buildings aren’t static,” Cade said, pushing open the driver’s side door and sliding out. I followed his lead. “They change from world to world. But the landscape generally doesn’t.”

I followed, closing the door and moving around the front of the car to stand beside him. “What about the people? What are you like? In other places, I mean.”

“Pretty much the same. I mean, I’m not always enlisted, but my general personality seems to be consistent.” He rapped his knuckles against the roof of the car lightly and looked away.
