It was close to midnight by the time they made it back to the palace gates. Everyone took turns keeping the kids awake. It was a long journey and they all wanted to rest. "Your Highness!" The guards shouted. "You made it back." Shaylah announced bitterly. "Shut up and get us some more help." Shae shouted. "Like I would answer,"
"Shaylah, can you please let Britille know that we're back. I don't know if these kids can last any longer." Calder said as he looked into her pink blush eyes. Shaylah pursed her lips as she turned around and raced back towards the palace. One of the guards mentioned fetching a carriage and the other started to help with the kids.
"We need rope. I don't want to take these kids in like animals." Calder said as he sat down onto the ground. "Yes, yes Your Highness, I'll send word that we need supplies." The guard said as he backed up slowly. "I can relay the message." One of the shadow guard said as she stepped forward.
