"They're demanding to speak with Ava."
Silence swept across the training field.
Every warrior reached for their weapons.
My heart pounded.
"They're asking for me?"
The guard nodded.
"They refuse to speak to anyone else."
Damien's expression hardened.
"How many?"
"Only one."
That surprised everyone.
One Hunter?
After everything we'd been through?
It didn't make sense.
"It could be a trap," Ethan said.
"It probably is," Damien replied.
I stepped forward.
"I want to see him."
"No."
I rolled my eyes.
"You answer that a little too quickly."
"Because the answer is always no."
Marcus folded his arms.
"I think we should hear what he has to say."
Damien turned sharply.
"You can't be serious."
"If they wanted to attack, they wouldn't send one man carrying a banner."
Marcus
