Chapter 8 The Medicine Man
Ian arrived that night as they were taking their evening meal. "What is wrong with Victor? He seems tense tonight." Ian and the captain were walking the perimeter of the camp checking that everything was in order before going to sleep.
"I am not entirely sure. Sylvia told me last night that she was due for...You should know what I am talking about Ian, you are married."
Ian laughed. "You sound uncomfortable, Mikail. Even you had a mother."
"You laugh like you know exactly what is going o

"I do not intend to tell everything as I do not know it all, but a couple of the other things are that it will only answer to its rightful owner. It was given to me by Revenge, so it is mine. Even for you it would refuse to kill unless it was using you to enforce a contract. And if I concentrate hard enough, for long enough, I can call it to my hand. Other than that, what I know of its properties is negligible. You have already seen the slight shimmer around it that makes it very visible even in daylight.After I knew about the dagger, he told me what oath he wanted me to swear - that I would never betray him. In this line of work that can be a hazard. So I swore the oath and he trained me. He said that I learned so well that when I departed to be on my own he gave the dagger to me as a gift."

"She is in need of reviving. She has taken a sleeping draught after a special brew and did not awake in the allotted timeframe. The only instructions we were given were to find you if she did not wake." Ian practically said it all as one word. They were leaning towards each other so only they could hear, but were still on horseback."And why should you care if she does not wake?""Because she has proven her worth ... and Mikail loves her as much as she loves him, though they do not admit it." Ian’s words found their mark. Somehow Revenge knew now that this was not a set up and something in his countenance changed, though Ian could not say what."You must have ridden through the night to get here. That doe

"That explains certain things to me,"Like how you couldnotrealize how you are looking at someone you are helping to portray as a man!How can you not realize how you feel about her, but even more how can you not see how she feels about you?Mikail was again staring absently at Victor. Even Revenge had to give her credit for this disguise. She really did look like a young boy. It made the captain’s face almost comical staring at Victor the way he was.Just then, Ian arrived. "Good, you made it. How are things going?" He looked and sounded like he was about to collapse.Revenge looked up, "Our patient will be fine, Ian. Take a meal and get some rest. You have earned it." The captain nodded agreement, and Ian left the tent. Revenge then turned back to the captain and asked, "What is
Master, Apprentice Nash
Chapter 9 NashIan woke up late that afternoon and went straight to the captain’s tent to find out what had happened while he was unconscious. He burst in to find Victor putting on his leather vest with the captain facing the opening of the tent. Thank God I wasn’t any faster."I take it by the look on your face that Victor is not finished changing. Sit down, Ian, and have something to eat with us," the captain said calmly."How is the...um...recovery going? And where is the Medicine Man?" Ian asked quickly as he sat down beside the captain. The c

"My contract was to remove him as a military threat," she paused so her words could have effect, "if they are dead, he is no longer a military threat.""Now that’s the girl I know!" They both smiled. Then she looked at him almost accusingly."Why did you give that name?" He looked at her. She was angry, but why?"What does it matter why I gave him that name? You shouldn’t be so upset about it. You did the same thing when you gave him your name, I was only following suit. Besides, no one would connect that name with me, so it is safe to give it to him because no one will connect him with me, either." He had known this logic would make sense to her and expected that she wouldn’t like it, but he did not expect the reaction he got from it. She was still very upset with hi

He looked up at the captain remorsefully, "I am sorry, Sir, but did you not tell me that a dangerous female was set to kill you? I had the impression that we could not be too careful.""Perhaps then, she can ride your horse and you can guide both mine and yours. Maybe you will remember not to be so hasty in your accusations." The tones were stern, but the look the captain gave was one of puzzlement.Why had Sylvia come down off of her horse with a blade drawn on an innocent girl using herself as an alibi? Surely it must be to further throw off any suspicion. He smiled. That was amusing.Sylvia herself did not know what had come over her. Mikail had not even seen the way that girl had looked at him, why did she come apart like that? She had no claim on him. It would be better for her if he did fall in love with someone else. That would make it easier to leave when the time came.

Chapter 10 EmmettShe did not want to rise when she woke the next morning. Her eyes stung and her heart still ached. She was all the more angry with herself for this weakness and forced herself to move. She prepared the captain’s meal as usual and had his maps set next to his plate when he rose for breakfast."Victor," said the captain, "Did you thi

"VICTOR!" shouted the captain. He stopped his advance. Mikail had seenthatlook before. Sylvia would have killed him. She did not take kindly to people insulting her natural talent or his. Whatever had earned him her respect and protection had caused this flare-up of her temper - it must have - and her prior disposition didn’t help matters. Though he found it surprising that she would act this way when she was so angry at him.He finished reading the transfer papers. It seems that this man was a problem maker. He was arrogant and liked to slack off thinking that his father would take care of things just the way he always had behind the scenes with his money and rank. Not this time. That kind of behavior gets people killed. Normally, the captain himself would step into the ring to knock down his attitude a notch or two, but he thought of a better plan. Victor and, "Emmett? Is
