Chapter 10

As a dragon, Ena roared at Brett and he knew at once she wasn't happy that he had asked Lila to transport Bryan and Mark to the campsite in the phantom fae land. They were all surrounded by tattooed phantom fae who were armed with swords, daggers, bows and arrows, and long pipes. He wasn't sure what they intended to use those for, but he suspected they were weapons of some sort.

Everyone in Ena's party was readied to fight—except Brett who was hurrying to get dressed. And Mark and Bryan who looked like they were in shock to see the tattooed phantom fae all bearing weapons. He noticed then, both his friends at least had daggers.

As a dragon still, even Ena watched Brett while he tried to pull his pants on underneath the hospital gown. Could he help it that they had been in such a rush to get here that he hadn't had time to properly dress?

"The fae are here because…?" Brett asked. Hadn't they already paid the toll when Ena gave the man the ring?

"They didn't like that we overstayed our welcome. We were supposed to move through the area quickly," Ryker said, sounding irritated.

"You should have gone without us," Brett said, though it was a little too late to make the remark. "We would have found you." Or at least Addie would have found the party for them. "So what do we do now?"

Ena turned back into her fae form. "Going into No Man's Land would have left the two of you in a much more dangerous situation," Ena said.

"Are they unseelie?" Mark asked.

"No," Ryker said. "Why are these humans here?"

"They offered to help. I thought we might need their services. They know how to fight well."

"Are we going to do something?" Bryan asked, sounding petulant. Not the way to make friends with the dragon shifter fae.

"The two of you, silence!" Ena said.

Brett swore Bryan looked like wanted to kill her. Mark also. Ena appeared to feel the same way about them. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.

Ena said something to the man who she'd given the ring to earlier in a strange language.

He shook his head. Not good.

She said something else.

He turned his attention from her to Brett. And Brett really didn't like the look in the man's eyes—dark, fathomless, his face expressionless. He pointed a tanned finger at him. Then he said a few words in that same strange language.

The phantom fae couldn't want him. He couldn't.

Ena spoke again to the man. He nodded and spoke again.

Ena glanced back at Brett. "He wants you. He said you'll live. If we turn you over to him, the rest of us and the wagons full of treasure can go. Quickly. No more delays."

"Why does he want me?"

Ena shook her head. "He won't say. If we stay and fight, we may all die, or we leave you with them. I will give you the choice."

"No," Addie said. "We can't leave him here."

"Their numbers are too great," Ena said softly.
