Chapter Nineteen

After so many weeks in the constant company of her camp mates, the isolation of Cave Twenty-eight was a welcome reprieve to Alex. Perched at the crown of a huge rock above the cave, she gazed out over the shadowy points of the treetops. The starry July night wrapped around her like velvet creating an illusion that she and Gryf were the only people in the world. She could almost imagine that the catastrophe of two months ago hadn’t happened.

She pointed upward. “That line of three stars is called Orion’s Belt. If you go down, you’ll see his legs, there and there. And those stars make his body, shield, and sword.”

Gryf’s arm pressed against her own from shoulder to wrist. The touch of his skin on hers was both comforting and distracting, which didn’t make it easy to concentrate on the amateur astronomy lesson.

He shifted, the silhouette of his finger rising to point was a clear outline to her night vision. “And he is hunting a bear?”

“Ursa Major, the Big Bear. It’s right there.”

Gryf’s low chuckle warmed her from the inside. “It is a shame he never will taste Maria’s bear stew. It is exceptional.”

A giggle escaped her. “Yes, it is.”

There were so many things in her life Alex had never expected to eat. Bear stew was one of them. Yet she’d done exactly that a month and a half ago in the cave just below them during a snow storm. Cave Twenty-eight, as it had been designated, where Gryf had saved her life by healing her of Haesi’s toxic poisons.

And now here she sat with this amazing and giving man, talking about stars. She leaned her head on his shoulder. “Where’s your home, Gryf? Can we see Matir’s sun from here?”

His cheek rubbed across her forehead. “Were we in Terr’s southern hemisphere, then yes we might be able to see it.”

“I know you must miss your home and family.”

“I do miss my parents, and Ora’s as well.” His breath tickled the fine hairs at her hairline.

“I bet they miss you too.”

He was silent, then, “I do not doubt they do, but they will be dealing with the shame I brought upon them by my negligence.”

Not this again. “I meant what I said in the cell about this, you know. If we ever get out of this mess, Nicky, Simone, and I will testify on your behalf. And I bet most of the humans in Camp One will do the same.”

The music of the crickets filled the night. “Thank you, compa.”

“By the way, what does…?”

Gryf’s body turned rigid, and his head lifted. His gaze directed toward the western horizon. “Alexandra.”

Her heart rate jumped at the warning edge to his voice. Scanning in the same direction, she noticed a pinpoint of light rising in the darkness. “What is that?”

The iron grip of his hands turned her away from him. “Go. Get down and get to the cave and don’t stop for anything.” The scrape of the walkie-talkie against its leather case at his hip reached her ears as she scrabbled across the grey-veined stone.
