2 Darren: Chapter 2. A trembling figure shivered on the ground, her clothes torn to rags. She sobbed loudly and clutched her chest. “Help me, someone, help me.” Frantically, she stared at the Riders around her. I sighed as none of them moved. Why were they so useless? Couldn’t they think for themselves? “Kuz, help her up.” He nodded and beckoned at one of the knights. “Help her up, Diego.” One of the Twelve nodded and whistled at a paige to hold his horse. The mud splattered as he jumped out of the saddle and splashed up against his calves. “D-Darren?” I turned around and found JP on his horse behind me. “Yes?” “W-What’s going on?” I pointed at the helpless woman in front of us. “Someone needs our help.” “S-s**t, t-that’s Chesca. W-Where’s Danny? Is s-she safe?” “What? Chesca?”
