The rest of us started toward the castle at a brisk pace. The doors to the large, fantasy looking façade would usually be guarded by Aunt Glory's soldiers and knights, but there was no one to be seen standing near the doors right now.
"Where are the guards?" Reece asked, echoing my thoughts. "Aren't there supposed to be two to four guards at the castle doors at all times? Where are they?"
"That was just what I was wondering." I told him as I flung a hand toward the doors to open them for us. "Something isn't right here. And I don't like the way this makes me feel."
"Neither do I." Sterling added.
"We should have stayed home." Alloy sounded scared.
"If you would have stayed home, you might have died there. Is that what you would have preferred?" Landon snapped at him. "We will have this settled, and you can go home when it's all over. Stop your belly aching."
