  His voice urges my eyes open. I’m back in Enoch’s sleeping quarters, where I slept last night.

  “After what?” I ask Rian dryly. My throat feels like I’ve not had water for days.

  “After me saving you from turning into dust on the wasteland,” Rian smiles.

  “Gerel, Beba, are they okay?”

  “Yes, they woke up a few hours ago,” Abaven says emotionlessly. I guess he’s angry that I went after them, or… is it because he was able to see what happened on the wasteland? What did happen?

  “So you rescued me?”

  “Yeah, Enoch and I came back for you guys,” Rian says.

  Abaven’s arms are crossed over his chest.

  “Sorry, Abaven, but I couldn’t leave them out there,” I tell him.

  “It’s not only your life you risked, it’s the others that follow you,” Abaven replies, making me feel guilty for my actions.

  “I have to get back. Luther will be asking for me,” Sloth says as he steps into Enoch’s sleeping quarters. That’s when it hits me, why they woke me up.

  It’s time to rescue my family. I hope Gavyn has a plan....
