Chapter Eleven

I couldn’t stand it anymore. I had to sit up. The lumpy rocks of the cave floor that had jabbed my side all night left me feeling bruised and defeated. I hadn’t slept for a single second. Not that I expected much from a dirty, wet cave in the middle of nowhere. But there were other things that kept me staring into the darkness. Like the impending doom that constantly hovered overhead. What would Horus do next? Would he ever stop? Would he leave his brother alone? How long could I survive in this time when a God of Vengeance didn’t know whether to use me or kill me?

The tease of early morning sun crept inside the small cavern we’d taken refuge in the night before. That wretched black netted dress sat in scraps a few feet away and I hugged my knees to my chest from inside Eirik’s old cloak as I stared at it in the floor. Last night was one I’ll never forget. I’d played out the entire sequence of events as I lay on the cave floor for hours, and I still couldn’t reconcile any of it. The whole thing felt like a vivid dream stuck on repeat in my short-term memory.

From behind me, Shadow stirred and Eirik moaned as they rolled over. I half turned and looked at them.

“Morning,” I muttered.

Eirik sat up and stretched their long arms in the air. “Did you sleep well?”

I closed my eyes. “I’m not even going to dignify that with an answer.”

They waited a beat. “That’s fair.”

Shadow crawled into my lap and put his hand to my neck, releasing that familiar warmth.

“He wants to go home,” I said.

“It should be clear,” Eirik replied. “Any of Horus’ men who may have been searching for us would surely be gone by now.”

“Good.” I painfully rose to my feet. “Let’s go.”

But if I were being honest, I wasn’t worried about us. All my thoughts were consumed with whether or not Silas was alive and made it back to the colony.

I guess we’d soon find out either way.
