Kaelen’s POV
The rogues stared wide-eyed at what just happened. I felt a presence beside me and I turned to the side to find Father standing by me, with a spear buried in a rogue. He pulled aggressively and the rogue fell to the side, hand to the abdomen.
I stared, unsure if I was seeing right. “Run,” I heard him say, giving a headstart.
I didn’t move, couldn’t move. “Run, Kaelen!” he barked.
My body was numb but his tone sent shivers down my spine. I moved, running as much as I could. I think he held my hand. I could feel nothing aside from the subtle pain on the side of my neck and chest.
But I could see his hand around my wrist, pulling me further and further away from the rogues who have multiplied in numbers. I could only see the back of his head, not his face as he kept them for
