Chapter 24
Before I met with Christian to watch for the night deliveries, I snuck out early to see if I could find Liam to get in another quick lesson. Christian’s presence had helped calm some of the darkness inside me, but it was still there just below the surface, whispering inside me, telling me to return to the forest, to seek out life and destroy it.
I was barely into the forest when I heard scuffling noises, followed by a series of grunts and moans. I resisted the urge to race toward the obvious sounds of a fight, and instead remembered to keep my cool like Christian had shown me back in Wildemoor.
In the distance, I saw two figures standing next to each other. Their backs were to me, and when I got close enough, I noticed they seemed to be looking down at something, or someone.
