Leaving the camp took longer than getting in since they had to lie in wait behind the kitchen heap and the wood pile. It wasn't until after breakfast was served that there was a slight lull in the patrols.

The morning sun was up by the time they made it back to the low-hanging willow. Even though the sun was turning the frost into a blanket of diamonds, Lake pulled her hood lower. As the cover of darkness faded, her identity became more obvious. With fewer and fewer shadows, the boy seemed to lose his ability to melt into the landscape, and his hood slipped, showing grimy tuffs of light hair.

Now that Lake was out of the camp, she still had to contend with getting back into her house undetected.

“Thank you,” Shadow said.

Lake nodded, still not quite sure how this night would affect the rest of her life. She turned to go, but the small image of grimy hair slipping out from underneath his hood caught in her mind.

She turned back to him. “If I need you, where can I find you?”

The boy was already walking away, his shoulders hunched. How he seemed to find every dark path, every camouflage, she had no idea.

“If I need you, I'll find you.” He continued walking.

An urging in her heart made her press the matter. “Wait. Please. If I need to get into the camp again?”

He didn't turn and if the wind hadn't carried his words to her, she might not have ever heard his response. “The Market. You can find me at the tent named Black Creek Market.”

And then he was gone.
