CHAPTER 29: TRINITY

TRINITY MOVED THROUGH THE forest as silent as a soft breeze. Hugh tromped behind her, shaking the earth. When he stepped in a pile of dead leaves she spun around.

“Can’t you at least try and be quiet? You’re louder than ten Producers.”

“Ten? Great, I’m getting worse.” He held up his hands, a look of exasperation on his face. “I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.”

“You’re stomping,” she whispered harshly.

“I’m not trying to.”

A slight rustle in the brush made her turn back toward the camp. She stared into the shadowy forest, trying to make out who was following them.

“What is it?” he asked.

“Hush.” If it were Jackson or her dad, they were in trouble. If she were alone, she’d make a run for it, but with him bumbling after her, whoever was following would overtake them in a heartbeat. A slight scraping on a tree drew her gaze. A small, black shadow perched on a branch. “Go away,” she called out as loud as she dared. They were still too close to the camp to holler.

“Who’s out there?” His eyes were wide, trying to capture the little bit of sunlight that broke through the foliage.

“You can’t come with me. Not this time. It’s not safe,” she said, but the little Servant didn’t move.

“I see eyes shining,” he said. “Who’s following us? We can’t go back.”

“Don’t worry about it.” She started walking again. “It’s Say.” She spoke louder. “He needs to go back to camp. He’s going to cause trouble for me if he follows.” She glanced behind her. Say was on the ground, trailing after them. She sighed.

“Did he leave?” He looked over his shoulder.

“No. Ignore him. He might go away.”

“Who is he? Is he a Servant? His eyes looked like Servant eyes, but with you I never know. You have some strange friends.”

“You’re the strangest.”

“There’s no way that I’m stranger than that River-Man.” He stumbled over a tree root, bumping into her shoulder.

“Pay attention to where you’re going,” she snapped. “You’re loud enough when you focus.”

“Sorry. I...I don’t like being followed, that’s all.”

“You get used to it.” She shot a glare over her shoulder, but Say ignored her and continued to stay close but too far for her to catch. “He’s just a young Servant. I met him at Ray’s. He showed up there one day. A lot of strays do, but they’re not usually as little as him.” She hated yelling at Say. He didn’t seem to have anyone except her, but now, she was going to have to watch out for him and Hugh.

“Why is he following us?”

“He’s following me.” Say had been in the forest earlier that morning when she’d been training Hugh, but there was no reason to bring up Hugh’s failure at noticing the Servant. She’d lost her temper enough around the Almighty. It hadn’t been that long ago when Gaar had been training her. The forest was hard and pointing out every little failure was Gaar’s training method, not hers. She’d been
