I didn’t respond to her, knowing exactly how I looked. I looked like someone who had never scaled a tree in her life, and if I stayed like this, then the fake concern in her voice would turn into suspicion. I spared a glance down at her and almost instantly regretted it. I had scaled to the top of the tree before remembering my old fear of heights, and I was more than twenty feet off the ground. I did get a quick glance at Lady Bluebird when I glanced briefly down, and suspicion was definitely blooming on her face.

Knowing I couldn’t stay like this much longer, I gripped onto the muscle memory that I had felt earlier before closing my eyes and just jumping. The wind hit me, and I could feel my stomach drop as I let go of the tree. Part of me, despite being in a character that has done this thousands of times that she could easily do it with her eyes closed, I still felt like I was going to fall. I didn’t, though; instead; I landed in a crouch as my automatically gripped onto a tree b

    I stumbled through the fire, covering my face with my cloak as I looked for the clearing that Lady Bluebird had mentioned. She had been telling the truth about the fire, which means she must be telling the truth about where she had left Raven. However, no matter where I looked, all I could see was the fire surrounding me. Realizing I would get nowhere stumbling through this fire, I turned back to go the way I had come. However, flames must have consumed the path I had taken because I could no longer find it.My gaze instantly went to the trees because they were the only way I could find my way back. Most were too consumed by fire for me to scale them. However, some of them had places where I could maneuver around the fire. I doubt I will be able to go around everything, but I really only had three options. I tied my cloak securely around my face and ran to one of the trees I could still scale. Heat radiated from it, and the flames were probably about to consume it completely, but I ha

    The chain clinked as he pulled it, forcing my arms high above my head by the cuffs around my wrists until I was dangling before securing it to the wall. He looked over my body, and I felt naked even though I was completely clothed, just as before. He had pulled off his helmet and armor, leaving him in only what knights called underclothes in this century. Scars covered every inch of his exposed skin, even crawling up his neck and along his jawline. This commander’s story is a bit dark. He is actually the bastard child of the king, born from his affair with a maid. To cover up his affair, he sent the one-month-old child to be raised by his soldiers. Those soldiers, hating the tyrannical king, beat the child to the brink of death almost every day while also starving him, calling it training. However, there is only so much abuse one can take before he or she snaps. At the ripe age of twelve, during his daily training, he slaughtered every soldier in the camp who had ever beaten him. Hi

    As I turned away from my brother, I hoped that whatever was happening to that plot didn’t change it too much because she would kick our asses. ******I struggled with the binding that held me, but even if I got close to getting them off, a bump would knock them out of my hands. After the eighth time it happened, I decided to just focus on not ending up completely black and blue by the time I ended up at the castle. Which was hard since this asshole was dragging me behind his horse. Again, I was so going to kick his ass. I had thought that the Prince was the new one, but it was obvious that he was the commander. A character that I didn’t even know still existed in this book, so I never thought anyone could be him. I have to admit, though, he’s good at what he does. Not once, even when we were alone, did he step out of character. If he were just a regular character, then that would have inspired doubt. However, as there is no way he is an ordinary, it has to be him.I racked my brain

    When I reached the clearing, the soldiers were about to light the fire, but before they could, I was across the clearing pressing a knife to the soldier’s throat.“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” “Shouldn’t I be telling you that?” A dark voice spoke up.My eyes snapped towards the soldier who spoke. He looked just like every other soldier standing around me, with the same armor, but his presence was completely different. It was commanding and dark, sending an unwelcome shiver of fear down my spine. Still, I held my place and even pressed the knife deeper into the soldier’s throat at his words. “Don’t think I won’t do it.” “Oh, but I know you won’t do it, little Raven. You have never taken a life because you believe even the most wicked person can be saved. Of course, if this isn’t true, then prove me wrong by slicing his throat.”I gritted my teeth, pissed the fuck off because he was completely right. Ravenhood had never taken a life, and I would never go against her character.

    I crumbled the paper, not wanting it to get into the wrong hands, before nudgingmy brother awake..“Come on, we have a part to play.”His eyes snapped open, and he instantly glared at me as if he were cursing my entire existence. I ignored him, fixing my clothes that had gotten messed up, and burst out the door.“Has anyone seen Lady Hood?” I scanned the people littering the clearing as if she might be among them. Most was still asleep since it was six in the morning. At least I think it is six. I doubt they have clocks in whatever time period this is. Some stirred at my yelling, glancing around for her in their half-awakened state. When no one spoke up, I spun in the direction of the castle and made like I was following after her. I could hear my brother following behind me, and I have no doubt he’s confused since he hadn’t read the letter. Before I could make it too far into the forest, I was stopped by one of the Lords. This Lord had a black mask carved into an eagle. “Lord Be
