Chapter 8
I open my eyes to see Derek lying on a cot near a window. A survey of the room proves that I’m on a hospital bed but not in a hospital. I feel as if I’ve been stuck by a four by four in the back of my head. My head is covered in gauze. I try to lift my head, which causes a groan to escape my lips.
When Derek hears the groan, he rushes stand by my side. I run my gaze over his face. He looks as if he hasn't been sleeping very well.
"Hey! How are you doing, sweetheart?"

I’m crying when I wake up in Bernie's house. It was a horrible nightmare that I had. It seems too real but I refuse to believe that it has happened. I’m still too weak to move. Derek’s not in the room but I can hear him arguing with someone. It sounds like Bernie, and then it gets closer."She doesn't belong here. She needs to go back to 2013 where she belongs. Her Dad left explicit directions for us to send her back." My eyebrows shoot up!"He didn't leave the message for you. He left it for your fathers.""Yes, and they are no longer able to do so.""You can't take her away from me! I won't let you."

A little later, Joseph returns with some water and food. I realize he thinks that I am asleep when he creeps in quietly and sits by my Dad."You need to eat and save your strength. I heard that they are bringing a new device in. It is said that it will make even the strongest of men break. I don't know any details on what it is and for that I am sorry.""It's okay Joseph.” I can hear him lightly pat Joseph. “Do you know if they plan to use it on my daughter?""I believe that it is just for you, sir.” I open my eyes, and twist to look at my dad. Joseph smiles at me sadly. Instead of returning it,

I can not believe that I just heard that conversation. My Dad just told Joseph that he can marry me. I don’t trust Joseph, he’s a guard. I don’t even belong here. Why would Dad do this to me? Anger courses through me causing me to have enough energy to sit up. I glare at both of them while tears of anger slide down my cheeks.When Dad and Joseph both reach out to me, I recoil back against the wall. When I see the look on both of their faces, they both have the same expression. They both look as though I had stabbed them in the chest and that brings some of the anger down."Please, I only want to help you." J

Not long after he leaves, two guards come in. They shackle both of us around our ankles and tie our hands behind our back. The Priest, Zarius, walks in as soon as they finish."Well good news for you. You get to leave this dungeon.” He says with an evil gleam in his eye. “But don't celebrate too long. We are taking you to another castle.”He glances at me with mock sadness. “King Anthony has found out about our little plans and is coming to destroy us. I would leave you here for them to kill you, but I need you.”He walks over to me, grabs a strand of my hair, wrapping it around his fingers, and whispers to me, “You are too much entertainment.” Then louder, “Usually I

"Good let's get going."I watch as Zarius and Robert climb into the carriage. When they are out of sight, I relax. I can physically feel Joseph relax behind me as the troops walk past.They are all wearing the same Raven crest on their chain mail as Zarius' and marching in fives. Some

After about ten minutes of walking, Joseph starts to untie my ropes. He doesn’t take them off all the way, but just enough for me to be able to move my wrists. Neither, Justin or my Dad seem to notice.We stop a few times for the troops to relieve themselves and to get some drinks. At the last stop, it was decided that only Zarius' carriage could be on the road. The rest of us were split up on either side and in the woods. Dad and Justin are on the left, leaving

We walk in silence behind the troops. Every now and then, he gently rubs his hand down my arm for comfort. The gentle touch of his hands are warm and comforting. This helps me to relax and to start to trust Joseph a little more. But when his rubs become faster and a little rougher, my anxiety picks up. It doesn’t last too long because I hear a whistle call. Two tweets followed by three tweets. As soon as the final tweet sounds, Joseph tugs on my arms and pu

We travel to the fight. As we get closer, I hear the grunts of pain and exertion along with the clang of metal. Joseph has a hold of my hand and literally drags me along. I’m too weak to move. I fall just as we reach the outskirts of the fighting. I look towards Joseph and shake my head. He needs to find my Dad and I can’t move anymore.
