Henry leaves Kelanar's room. He doubles his fist and seeks out Conner. The twins know his thoughts and head him off at the bottom of the stairs.
“Henry, you don’t know for sure it was him,” says Ben
“Besides, you just get in trouble and prove Master John right. That she is a distraction and he will send her away. I mean it might be best, but it could hurt her as well,” says Ken
“I know you're right Ken. Ben, you're wrong. I know it was Conner. He talked last night to his friends about her being his maid and putting her in her place.

Ember Chapter Thirty: Hector
Hector just nods and lets Rex take the lead with the three boys. He needs to face that this is his life now. The death of the boy still plays on in his mind and how many prisoners Lord Skorn keeps, and now they will decide what will happen to these three. “You three will tell me what I want to know or suffer, understand?” orders Rex. The three boys look at each other, fear across their faces when they see Rex is a vampire when he smiles at them. “I am going to ask a few questions. Hector, removes their gags. Don’t speak unless you’re spoken to, or you will be gagged again,” orders Rex. Hector does as he is told and walks behind each boy and unties their gags, which fall into their laps. “Now then, let’s ge

Ash and I had yesterday to relax in bed. He knows we had sex too. He is ok with it as long as we don't leave him behind.”“I know, but I really need to talk to him. Before we do anything else.
