should I trust you now?”
    “All I did
was not mention that he was here,” Conrad said. “Was it that big of a deal?”
    “I don’t
know. You tell me.”
    “It wasn’t.”
    Zane shook
his head. “No. No – while that’s tempting. No. He might as well know where we
are now, and there’s no reason to risk anymore time here.”
    “We don’t
have to stay here,” Conrad countered. “I know a place the Mage won’t find you.”
    “No,” Zane
said. “Here’s what will happen. We’re going to leave now, and if you still want
to find out where the portal is for me, then I’ll phone you and you can tell me
where it is. So do you want to help me or not?”
    “Alright
then,” Conrad nodded. “Whatever you need.”
    They started
towards the front door, and Stacey briefly looked back a moment before they set
foot outside. For some peculiar reason, Conrad was looking at her funny. She
could only imagine the thoughts running through his head…

 
    CHAPTER
TWELVE
     
     
    As Stacey and Zane walked back to the
front gates she asked him: “So do you believe him or not?”
    “I’m not a
hundred percent sure either way,” Zane confessed.
    “But if you
had to guess?”
    “He’s not
telling the truth. The Mage offered him something in return for my capture.
Which means we have a very small window to get out of here.”
    “ If he
wasn’t telling the truth.”
    “If.”
    The servant
was already ahead of them, opening the gates once more. They departed and began
down the sweeping slopes along to town.
    “Where are we
going?” Stacey asked.
    “It doesn’t
matter. We’ll just find somewhere in the middle of nowhere to hide for today.
But then tonight I’ll come back here and find out what Conrad has for me.”
    “You’ll come
back? I thought you said you’ll phone him.”
    “It may not
be as simple as that.”
    “But how will
you know it’s safe?”
    “I’ll be
careful.”
    “And where
will I be when this is going on?”
    “Far away.
Hopefully.”
    They stopped
in the middle of the road to cross it, waiting for a car to drive past.
    “This isn’t
going to be easy,” Zane said. “On you. Or on me.”
    “What isn’t?”
    “I’ve decided
I want to look further into clearing your name. How do you feel about that prospect?”
    Stacey
couldn’t believe her ears. She moved in front of Zane’s path and wrapped her
arms around him. He held her stiffly, caught off guard a little. Then she felt
him getting aroused. Stacey didn’t mind.
    “Thank you,
Zane,” she said.
    “Master,” Zane
said, pushing her away. “Thank you, Master.”
    Stacey rolled
her eyes. “Okay. Thank you, Master .”
    While he
didn’t seem pleased with her sarcasm, he decided to let it go. “So where did
this all happen?”
    “Where did
what happen?”
    “Where did
this so called murder take place?”
    “It was back
at my apartment. The one Teresa and I shared.”
    “Well, I
guess that’s where we’re going now then.”
    While Stacey
was immensely excited by this news, she couldn’t help but feel nervous at the
same time.
    “Someone
might recognize me though,” she mumbled. “They might call the cops.”
    “If anyone
comes near you,” Zane said, “I’ll kill them.”
    He meant
business.

 
    CHAPTER
THIRTEEN
     
     
    The approach of Stacey’s home city
sent an array of emotions through her body so varied, she didn’t know whether
to smile with joy, push her head over the side of her dragon, about to be sick.
They’d made it out of the town without incident which seemed to strengthen
Zane’s trust in his brother, and then shortly taken to the skies soon after.
Given the distance they had between them and their destination, Zane worked
harder than before to travel them as quickly as possible. This still resulted
in a journey that took nearly two hours off the day, but for Stacey, she barely
noticed it at all. As difficult it was to accept that Zane and her were going
to have anticipated problems when it came
