Altering the Pact

"JACK?!"

At the top of her lungs, Keela screamed, wanting an explanation for all this. However, when her bright red face turned to look at Jack, she couldn't find him. Rydel was still riding his horse and was now holding the reigns to Jack's horse as well.

"Where did he go? He thinks he can just leave without an explanation?!"

Laughing, Rydel glanced at Maura. "Since Jack took off, how about you explain things? By the look of things, it would be better that you talk and not Eliza."

Maura sighed, "Keela, come with me and I'll explain everything. Let's head back to the association building and we'll talk on the way."

"Fine, but I refuse to give up! This only means that I need to try harder!"

Together, Maura and Keela led the way with Rydel, Maynard, and Eliza in tow. Eliza looked at the calm samurai and asked, "Are you Maynard? They told me a lot about you and your bloodthirsty-style."
