143 Who Are You?

After two days of sleeping in shifts to keep watch Abby could barely keep herself awake while on the horse. At one point she dozed off and slipped sideways off the saddle, forcing Blaise to catch her.

His violet eyes were full of concern and she felt her heart skip a beat. It might have been because she was dangling off the side of the horse with only his arm and chest supporting her.

"Sorry. I'm so sleepy I can't stop dozing off," she said sheepishly once she was back upright.

"No need to worry. We should reach the border of their territory soon. We'll be able to ask for better directions from there," Blaise assured her.

And they did about two hours of fighting yawns and heavy eyelids later. Black haired people were coming and going from the entrance of a cave within their line of sight. Abby was so excited that she hopped off of the horse to approach them herself.
