Kelly The rest of our journey back to the hotel was filled with nothing but the sound of our feet walking along the rugged path. I dared not ask what any of the men were thinking, too afraid to know the answer. Instead, I played with the crystal in the palm of my hand most of the way. That at least made me feel better. We were now two-thirds of the way through our mission. I was that much closer to saving my mother. Unfortunately, I might be disowned soon after, but it was for a worthy cause. Plus, I was borderline being disowned anyway just for the sake of Keres. Hopefully, Emmett could make the elixir as soon as we got back. I don't even try to pretend to know how he will do it, it's more his specialty than mine. I can't help but think what will happen after my mother is better. Will
