Chapter Twenty-Two

Aisling

Caim was leaning against a tree when we arrived at the top of the next mountain. He had his black wings folded behind him and his arms over his chest as he smiled grimly before waving a hand at the valley below us. “Aren’t they a bunch of assholes?”

I cast a nervous glance into the valley below us. The wall of fog shimmered in the sun, but nothing followed us, and it wasn’t expanding. Still, I didn’t like being this close to it or the vile people inside it. I wouldn’t relax until we were miles away from Amber and her crew.

“You could have warned us,” Corson said.

“I didn’t get the chance. I got a little lost in the fog, as did the horsemen. I landed to try to get a better view, and that was when I met Amber and her bunch of merry fucking nutsos. You were already in the fog by the time I came out. Instead of getting lost in there again, I figured you were at least smart enough to find your way out and, my goodness, so you have!” Caim exclaimed; Corson glared at him.

“Where are the horsemen?” Bale asked.

“Where indeed,” Caim murmured. “They went into the fog, and I went in after them. I’m the only one I saw come out. Personally, I think those assholes down there are working with them. I’ve searched the mountain for the past hour, but I can’t find any sign of them.”

“You lost them?” Corson accused.

Caim blinked at him before replying very slowly. “They went into the fog. I went in after them. They disappeared. I. Can’t. Find. Them.”

Corson scowled at him, but Caim pretended not to notice the furious glint in his eyes or the blood dripping from his talons as he yawned and scratched the ear of one of the hounds.

“Now, what do we do?” Wren asked as she rested her hand on Corson’s arm. He visibly relaxed beneath her touch, but his anger still simmered beneath the surface.

Caim glanced at the sky. “I’ll keep searching for them, but…”

“But?” Hawk prodded when Caim stopped speaking.

“But I don’t think I’m going to have much luck,” Caim finished.

I glanced back at the mist. “Do you think they’re still in the fog?”

“I don’t know,” Caim said, “but I don’t think so. If the horsemen are working with them, then it was to distract me, which they succeeded at doing. They would have used that distraction to get as far from me as possible.”

“If they were still in the fog, the hounds would know,” Corson said. “It probably distorted their senses too, but they would have detected the horsemen. I think Caim’s right; I think they used it as an opportunity to lose him.”

“Then we have to find them again,” Bale said. “Let’s go.”
