Chapter 3

I couldn’t say the morning after wasn’t a little awkward, at least that’s how I felt, but neither Sonia nor Eve seemed to be changed by what happened between us. Well, that wasn’t strictly true: Eve seemed a little more clinging, she smiled more, and the emotions in her face when she did so were more noticeable; or maybe she had always behaved like that, and I had been the one that didn’t notice it. Or didn’t want to notice it.

I wasn’t completely comfortable with it, for a multitude of reasons, but it didn’t bother me as much as I thought it would.

Despite what I might have wished, the night with them helped me. I wasn’t as nervous the next morning, there was a weight missing from my shoulders, and I was ready to continue with the mission.

We started moving after breakfast, and it didn’t take us long to find signs of the reapers. Sonia put a hand against my shoulder and held me back, and I gazed at her, wondering why we were stopping. Eve almost crashed into us, but held herself at the last moment.

“I’m not some damsel in distress, Mara. I can take care of myself.” I scoffed and made her smile once more. “They found something, I think it’s a deer, and they’re pursuing it. We should stay put for now. I doubt they’ll resist the temptation to eat, and only then start back, but I figure their pace won’t be as harsh. We just need to follow them back and see what happens.”

“And if nothing does, this whole thing was a bust.” I shook my head, unhappy with how it all went down. I had hoped we could find about those the reapers were fighting, but it seemed we wouldn’t be that lucky. It was frustrating. So much time lost away from those I loved, and for nothing.

We stayed put for hours, and it was a struggle, but eventually we moved out, turning back on our path, following the reapers the way we came. The tension that had been bothering me the
