I WAS STARTLED AWAKE by a loud knock. Looking out the window, I realised I’d been asleep for a while. I jumped up and rushed to the door. I pulled it open and felt myself relax when I saw Dom.

‘Hey. Oh, were you asleep?’

I rubbed my eyes. ‘Yeah, I guess so. Did you get everything?’

‘Yeah, here. Let me pop this food in your pack. I’ve already done mine.’ He walked over and opened the top and started placing it in.

‘What were you able to get?’

‘I got bread, fruits and dried meat. I got a little fresh meat for when we stop tonight, too, but I put it in my pack.’ He grinned, seemingly happy with his selection.

‘Great. Thank you. I have the weapons here too. Rope, throwing knives, a bow and arrows and short swords, plus a couple of belts. I wasn’t sure if you had any. But I should probably tell you... Master Ira came in when I was there—’

He stopped putting the food in the pack. ‘He what? What happened? Are you okay? Did he notice anything was missing?!’

‘I’m fine, it was all okay. Though it probably won’t be if he ever catches me in there again. Right before he came down, I managed to chuck the weapons out one of the windows. Then I pretended I was just running the track. He believed it, thankfully, though he did have a go at me anyway. I listened on my way out and I’m pretty positive he just locked the vault and didn’t check it. I only heard the key turn, not the doors open and close.’

He heaved a sigh of relief and I felt a rush of happiness that he cared so much about me. Having friends was so important to me. I just hoped I’d be able to keep Harper and make even more after we rescued my mum.

‘Okay, cool. Where are they? I’ll take mine upstairs now.’ He looked around.

‘Wouldn’t it be better for you to stop by here on the way out and just put them on then?’

‘Oh, well yeah. I suppose that makes sense. Should we just go and hang downstairs then?’

‘I said I was going to bed, so maybe if you go down and hang with the guys and I’ll stay up here? Then when everyone has gone to bed, just grab your pack and come meet me here. You can put your weapons on and we’ll go?’

‘Okay, yeah, sweet. Good plan. I’ll see you soon.’

I walked over to the door and he gave me a grim smile as he stepped out. The deep breath he took seemed to give him courage and I watched him bounce off down the hall.

After I shut the door, I sat on my bed and pulled out one of my favourite books. I tried to read it but struggled to focus and decided to put it aside. Instead, I stared at the portrait of my parents and me, wondering about my mum, and then about the relationship between her and Dad.
