"Cassie," Cole ran up behind her, no longer trying to hide that he was different than the rest Cassie turned quickly, a look of relief on her face She was in the sitting room inside of the maiden&039;s chambers He wasn&039;t supposed to be there, but no one here they were supposed to be It was enough that Cassie noticed and started looking for other things that were a to her brother, Cassie said, "You&039;re right Nothing&039;s the way it&039;s supposed to be"

"I see that Our guards are gone too" Cole glanced about to make sure they were alone

"I knohere they went," Cassie licked her lips and looked around nervously Even though there was no one to throw Cole out, she still felt vulnerable out in the open, like they&039;d be caught at any moment

As if he could read her mind, Cole put a hand on her shoulder, "They have eyes and ears everywhere This is as good a place to talk as any Where are the guards?"

"It looks like uard was tripled in size They surrounded her like a wall She wasto choose the right word

He was a valanced up at hi?"

"I&039; else happen with the Queen?"

"No," she answered, shaking her head "She asked about Kahli, the King, and Will She wanted to knohere Will was Apparently, going ht now automatically damns you in her eyes" Cassie paused for a mo did, I would have had a huge gap in one nuts, well, crazier than usual"

He nodded in agree&039;s chaht?" By she, hequietly, but this wasn&039;t norirls into his rooin blood
