Chapter 8
Sarah sat by the entrance to the keep, staring at the solid door blocking the entrance. When Daniel had opened that door she, like the others, had hurried out into the bright light of morning. She hadn’t noticed that Daniel didn’t follow. When she had turned to find him he was nowhere to be seen. Heart sinking she had looked towards the keep’s entrance and saw that the door was closed again.
She’d known of Daniel’s plans, in fact she knew they were their only hope of finding Mary, but she’d wanted to speak to him first. Wish him luck. Tell him to be careful. Instead she was left waiting outside the keep, feeling hollow inside.
What if he didn’t come back? Even if he found nothing in the keep she felt they had a better chance of finding Mary with Daniel by their side.
