Darkness to Dust ch 4
Tavious sat on the bed as Jessica stood and went to the kitchen, promptly asking, "Would you like something to eat?" Tavious looked up with a sigh, shaking his head. He was not at all hungry, he just wanted an answer on how to get her out of his life. He took off his cloak and his shirt, both dirtied from the fight. Jessica stared at his muscular body intently as he put another white shirt on, and looked at her and cocked an eyebrow. "Something wrong?" He asked. Jessica blushed and shook her head, fixing her own food. Strange... He thought, walking over to the window. He could hear the rushing of wind, and perked up. "Get down!" His window was blown open, and half of his room was blown away. "What the he-" Something kicked him. It was a female shrouded by a black hood. Her clothes were black as well. "A message...Travel not, to the shadow lands, or both of your lives shall be forfeit..." Almost as spontaneously as the woman had appeared, she left. Tavious rubbed the back of his neck. "What...the hell..." Maybe he had entered too far into the affair of the shadow lands little quarrel, or maybe Deagon knew he was looking for him...either way, he was now a large target. "Jessica...We're going..." He ordered, jumping out of the gaping hole that used to be his window.
