“Well, worry no more, we are your minstrels,” Christopher said quickly, voice shaky. “We haven’t been killed by wild animals or murdered, although it’s not for lack of people trying.”

But the suspicious look was back on the Viking’s face. He shot a warning look at the bowman. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the bow come up into its owner’s hand. With shocking speed, he drew and fitted an arrow.

“If you’re minstrels, give us a song.”

I looked at Jalil. Jalil looked at Christopher. We all looked at April. At the same time

I bent over just enough to grip the hilt of the sword. Maybe a quick swipe and I could take down the big guy. Of course that still left the bowman.

“I don’t know any Viking songs!” she hissed.

“Give him something with lots of killing in it,” I said.

“What, Marilyn Manson? I don’t listen to that crap!”

“Don’t you know anything with killing in it?” Christopher demanded. “Where were you when everyone was into gangsta rap?”

April bit her lip, eyes darting back and forth as she dredged through her memory. “Killing!” she yelled suddenly.

“ ‘Killing… killing me softly with his song… playing my life with his words…’ ”

I froze. The world froze. She was singing and the Viking was deciding whether we heard the end of the song or never heard anything again.

The arrow would fly. I would reach to stop it, but by the time my hands came up, by the time my fingers began to close, it would be in me, through me, draining my blood in fountain spurts.

But now April was getting into it. The shaky fear voice was giving way to a singing voice that grew stronger and more confident. Her eyes were closed. Her hands were white as she twined them nails digging into bone.
