Chapter Three
 
 
    I sat down on the grass as I watched everyone else do the same.
    Jamie grinned, “You think we got enough practice?”
    “Heh.” I grinned and closed my eyes for a second, I was still hurting from what Jonothan did to me.
    There was a loud thundering sound in the distance. Oh no! not again… A bright orange blur became evident, then they passed us and went on their way down the coast. “Who’s men?” I looked at Sertoff confused.
    “Mine.” Daemon looked at me.
    Zariaha glanced at the ground, “I am sorry I attacked them, I…” her soft voice was almost music to my ears.
    “Don’t worry about it.” I assured her. “It’s not your fault.”
    She glanced at me and gave me a smile of thanks.
    “Whatta we gonna do now?” Mesiaha glanced at the rest of us.
    I shrugged, “I dunno, but I have to train men.” Men, men wasn’t there something I was supposed to remember about… My face lighted up, I glanced at Cas. “Where are your men?” I asked her.
    She looked around as if she might see them hanging around then shrugged, “I don’t know they should be here already.”
    “Uh huh,” I muttered. “That’s what I thought. You see Jonothan had Harley do something with your men, but I don’t know what.”
    Sertoff’s eyes narrowed as he glared at me, “And how did you get this information?”
    I can’t believe I’m being accused after all this. “Harley was the one after me.” I turned and returned his glare, “He has a big mouth.”
    Sertoff turned away.
