Excerpt

Bran followed her into the alley. A pair of scruffy boys held a child. One slapped her. When Ky yelled a second time, the ruffians dropped the child and ran. Ky chased after them.

“Come back and help me.” Bran knelt beside the little girl. Her face was bloody. One arm was twisted. He found a gash on her leg that bled with a steady flow. He applied pressure to the area. “Ky, can you send fire through my hands. I need to stop the bleeding.” She put her hands over his. He felt warmth and then heat. He removed his hands and sighed when the bleeding didn’t begin anew.

“What do we do now?” Ky asked. “We can’t leave her here. We need to take care of her. Carry the basket and I’ll bring her.” “What will Ash say?”

He looked up. “Won’t matter. I can’t leave this child in this alley. We’ve no idea where she lives.” Ky helped him stand. He tightened his hold on the small girl and made his way around the debris littering the ground. Ky ran ahead and opened the gate. Once inside, he strode to the house.

What will you need?” Ky asked.

“Water to clean the wounds and for a tea.”

“I’ll get it.” She opened the door and set the basket down.

Bran carried the child to where their sleep sacques lay. He placed her on his and dropped his backpack to the floor beside his poncho.

“What have you done?” Ash asked.

Bran rose and went for the pack of herbs. “Found her. Two ruffians attacked the child. Ky and I chased them away.”

“Why bring her here?”

“Where else could I take her?”
