Shattered Bonds

The shriek of enchantresses became louder, jolting Avery out of her reverie. She looked at Lucas, Damien, and Jess in turn, and saw horror and treason reflected back at her.

"We need to move. "Now," Avery said, her voice firm despite the ferment outside.

Damien scarfed. "And why should we listen to you? For all we know, you might be leading us into a trap."
