Jasmine was at the oven when we walked into the kitchen, good naturedly telling off my Guardians who kept stealing the food.

Eli looked over at me as I walked in. I wasn’t sure if he was angry at me over what had happened but if he was, he managed to keep it in check.

‘You’re awake, you ok?’

I nodded. ‘Thanks to you guys and my mystery Guardian.’

Eli nodded to the corner of the room, where the man that had saved me from the icy waters was standing tucking into a plate of chicken. ‘That’ll be Noah.’

He had a mass of black curly hair and the huge strength that all the Guardians had. He waved a fork at me before he carried on eating.

‘Thank you. If it wasn’t for you I’d be an ice cube round about now.’

‘Oh don’t flatter him too much, it’ll go to his head. He’s already told everyone who will listen how he saved you from a watery grave,’ Lucas said.

Noah swallowed a mouthful of food. ‘You guys were too busy fighting to notice that the person you were supposed to be protecting was drowning. It was lucky I was there to save the day.’ He winked at me. ‘No sweat Eve, glad to be of assistance.’

Jasmine turned round with a plate of food for me and for the first time I noticed her huge, swollen belly. She stroked her bump affectionately. ‘My first. Due any day now.’

‘Then you shouldn’t be on your feet cooking for this lot. You should be resting.’

‘We tried that,’ said Alexandria. ‘Believe me we tried.’

‘You sound like my husband; he’s always on at me to rest. I’m having a baby not dying.’

‘Well thank you for healing me. I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you.’

‘Ah it was a bit of hypothermia. Seth was right, the body heat probably helped too.’

I turned back to Eli. ‘The men in the woods, they were Putarians?’

He nodded. ‘There was about twenty of them. I don’t think they were planning to attack, I think they were merely observing. Seeing how well you were protected, watching you use your powers. They didn’t have any weapons with them or any of the normal power suppressing drugs they use when they kidnap the Donum. But when you landed, alone, within mere feet of them it was too good an opportunity to pass up.’

I sighed and dug into my chicken hungrily. It had been almost two weeks since the last attempt on my life and I suppose I had pushed the threat to the back of my mind. Well maybe I hoped that the threat would go away.

‘They won’t give up will they?’

He shook his head. ‘There’s a bounty on your head too. Quite a large one.’

I could find no fear in death anymore. I was going to die one way or another, I just had to trust that my Guardians would see me safely to the end of the world.

‘When you’ve finished eating, we should go. I’d like to get you back home where you’re safe,’ said Eli.
