"Is that- WHO ARE YOU?"
As soon as Evelina heard one of them ask the question, alarmed and with menace- she quickly got to her feet to follow the child.
Blast the bats! The enchantment was useless now! Then again, as long as nobody would follow her-
West jumped beside her.
She sighed. "Really, West?"
"I told them that we would take care of it but," his eyes were not on her but on three soldiers in front of them. They growled, recovering from the short shock they've given them. "How do we do this? And Ruben… where is he?"
"He ran away. Probably to the bedrooms," Evelina answered, still on track with the boy's scent.
"Where did you two come from?" asked one of the soldiers, their spears thrust forward.
West scoffed. "Why did it feel like we were the one trespassing?"
"ANSWER THE QUESTION!"
"Did you use… magic?"
It was silly how they mentioned the word as if it was forbidden.
