Chapter Twenty-Eight

Dimas hung from a tree by his right arm. The grin on his face said it all. He was happy to see we made up, that much was clear, but so were we. It was just one of those unnecessary things that happened sometimes because a certain person acted stupid and idiotic.

“You ready?” he asked as we spotted him.

“Yeah. Lead us there, please. I’m itching to see what we got to work with.”

“It’s not really good. I’ve seen it already.”

“Is there even a need to go there in that case?” Sylvana asked. “Maybe we should focus on finding a better spot instead?”

“No, I still want to see it,” I said, insisting on scouting the area.

“Follow me then. It’s only a couple of minutes from here.”

We passed right by the camp. It was a hive of activity. Men and women really were giving it their all, digging, carrying logs and tools, shoveling dirt, and erecting buildings. The soldiers were busiest of all and not a single one of them wore their armor. Most of them wore only their breaches or underwear. There was no shame in my army and there would never be any. Still, they seemed to hold back because of Rennes’ people.

A couple of the buildings were already close to being finished while a whole bunch more were just getting started. This was just beautiful when you had people who knew how to get things done and didn’t need to be constantly looking over their shoulders.

“What do you think?” Sylvana asked as she caught me staring in between jumps.

“Looking good so far. I have no idea what to expect, though. There are far too many of us, at least for the condition we’re in.”

“What the hell did you even think would happen, Raz?” Sylvana chuckled. “I know it isn’t funny, but shit, what the hell was supposed to happen?”

“We were supposed to die if you already want to know. We were never supposed to survive the alleged ambush, but it turned out—strangely. Speaking of which, where was the other troop?”

“I have no idea. They were supposed to be somewhere further down the line, but Crozan insisted on leaving after you did. It didn’t make any fucking sense. It was as if he knew you’d be coming back for some reason.”

“It was quite obvious, huh?”

“What was? That you would come back for her? No, not really. I thought you’d take her with you on the way. That ended up being—you know.”

“Yeah, it was a mistake, but things happen for a reason. Not that I believe in that crap, but so they say.”

“Who does?” she asked curiously. “I doubt it’s the vampires.”

“No, the religious Humans.”

Sylvana laughed heartily as she tucked a loose strand of hair behind a pin of sorts. It almost made her look girlish, innocent, and young. Oh, how looks could fool.

“Yeah, I keep forgetting you used to be one. Most of you were. Well, basically all since Vampires can’t be born like that, right?”

“No, but let’s not dwindle on that just now.
