A house divided (2)

"Okay, but why do you have them with you? Humans aren't allowed in our community. Now that they've seen where we are it's too dangerous to send them back because they might tell someone about us. Weren't you thinking straight?" Jane scolded her husband. Sometimes he made tiny mistakes like everyone else in the world but this was hard to overlook. "What happened?"

"A man tried to take them because they are orphans and I killed him. They followed me back even though I suggested they go to an orphanage or a palace guard for help. They don't trust the adults from the orphanage and who am I to tell them otherwise? They were waiting for the man Alexander to show and give them money like the other children. How could I have left them alone? Two little girls won't survive in this world all alone. We have to help them." He tried to convince his wife. Derek knew Jane would've done the same in his position.
