I decided I didn’t really want to sit in silence so I continued my questions, wondering if he was giving honest answers.
“And all my companions are dead?”I asked, casually. I didn’t really mind.They had been my guards, nothing more to me.
Davincent, however, looked shocked,”Of course not. Why on earth would we do something as ridiculous as that? Isn’t kidnapping you enough?We don’t want to start a full-fledged war, at least, not yet.Besides, there was a young one among the group.Do you think we would do that to one so young?”
When I blushed in response to his last question he growled, muttering darkly beneath his breath,”They have done well.”
I thought quietly of the young teenage boy who had protected me. I’d hated him; he always seemed to look at me as though he pitied me. It made me angry.
“So what did you do with them?” I asked,curious now.
Davincent muttered something that sounded like a string of profanities. He spoke hollowly,”Tavares lost control.One died.The boy is converting.The rest escaped.”
