“Meet us at the gate,” Sophie called after her, deciding they should
save Fitz’s energy. Plus, she’d teleported off Havenfield’s cliffs many
times.
They ran toward the high metal fence that blocked the steep drop
to the rocky shore.
“Please tell me you’re not going to make us jump,” Tarina begged
as Sophie licked the DNA sensor on the lock.
“You don’t have to come with us,” Sophie reminded her.
“Protecting you is my responsibility,” Tarina argued. “Now more
than ever.”
“Yeah, where are Sandor and Bo?” Grady asked as Sophie pulled the
gates open. “And Flori? And Grizel?”
“Back at Everglen,” Fitz told him.
“They weren’t with us when Silveny’s transmission came through,”
Sophie added. “And I couldn’t waste time trying to find them. Will you
hail Alden and tell him what’s going on so they don’t panic?”
Grady pulled an Imparter from his pocket and quickly passed along
what little information he had as Edaline joined them, carrying an
overstuffed satchel.
“Ready?” Sophie asked, holding out her hands.
Grady grabbed one first. “I’m going with you. You could be
teleporting into an attack.”
That was another thing that Sophie had been trying very hard not to
think about. But she found herself checking her pockets, feeling for
the throwing stars she’d tucked away before she’d left that morning.
“Okay, we go on three.”
Fitz took her other hand as Edaline reached for Grady. And Tarina
grumbled more Trollish curses as she grabbed ahold of Edaline.
