Reapers
A boy walked into the clearing with metal crutches attached to his arms.
“Aiden.” We both said.
“Delazars are retreating.” Aiden said, “Sam and Nathan are leading the survivors here now.”
“Excellent.” Hunter grinned, “Just as we planned.”
“And you.” Aiden said to me, “It is incredibly good to see you. I thought you were taken by my father.” Hunters grip tightened around my waist.
“We snuck here,” I said lamely.
“Well.” Aiden cleared his voice, “I’m going to give you two a moment to talk, in another few minutes or so I imagine you won’t have a moment for a very long time.” Aiden went back into the trees, I looked up at Hunter, his face looked haunted.
