Chapter Nine
âHo! Granton!â Hubric called, as if he knew who these people were, but though the men approaching us waved, none of them spoke.
I reached for my belt knife, wishing I had the dagger with me. It was still stuffed in my saddlebags, of course. There was something strange about these men. Hubric shifted from foot to foot and in the gleam of the lanterns, I saw a knife appear in his hand.
When they were still two paces away their leader addressed us.
âHubric I know, but who is this?â His eyes glittered in the lamplight, but I didnât see a silver swirl in them this time. Was I just seeing things? I was still nervous about Ephrettiâs warning â that these men with silver in their eyes were looking for me.
âWhere is Granton?â Hubric asked.
He adjusted his stance to put his weight on his back foot. Iâd seen that in men before. They shifted like that when they expected a fight. My gaze shifted back to the three men holding lantern poles. Those could be used as weapons easily enough.
âThe old man that kept this place? Gone. He left it to us.â The leader tilted his head slightly.
âAnd the girl with him?â
âA pretty thing and so set on adventure ... â He let his voice trail off as if the answer was in the words he didnât say. I shivered. I wouldnât want a man like that near anyone I cared about. Who was this girl to Hubric?
âWhat did you do to her?â Hubric asked, his tone low, almost a growl.
The leader grinned. âNothing. She decided to travel.â
Hubricâs body tensed.
âCome in and eat with us. Itâs too cold to stay out here. We can share all the news inside,â the leader said.
I took a step backward. Inside, weâd be separated from our dragons. Saboraak and Kyrowat could toast these three where they stood, but I doubted Hubric and I would be as capable. Hubric looked torn. Clearly, he was worried about his friend. Was he trying to find a way to get more information about her? It was too bad that the dragons couldnât read these menâs minds.
We can, but we can only read what they are thinking.
And do they know where Hubricâs friend is?
I donât know.
Are they enemies?
Certainly.
Hubric took a step forward and I cursed inside. Better to fly away and figure out our next move. We could sneak in here later if we needed to. If we followed them into the house now, weâd be outnumbered, and they could easily overwhelm us away from the dragons. How many more men could be hiding in that house?
âWhere did Granton go?â Hubric asked, head cocked to the side.
Ah. A testing question. Even I could tell that his next move would depend on the answer. The glitter in the leaderâs eye told me he knew, too. He smiled easily, but was that a flash of nervousness in his eye?
âNorth. He needed supplies and said-â
Surrounded! Weâre surrounded.
I spun at Saboraakâs panicked thoughts, only to see dark shapes rushing in.
