Snippet #1516634

Hastings hacked out a laugh when Margeria had asked him about the king's assassination. It was almost ridiculous to think that Blackpond would ever even associated with the Wolf Pack. Blackpond didn't like those Pack members just as much as Newhaven did, but they had no reason to attack like Newhaven did. What really made Hastings laugh though was how aggressively they went after the Wolf Pack when it was obviouse that their army couldn't handle battling on two fronts.
"It seems like it would've been a good idea to use the assassin's to take out your king, but the fact is, we don't like the assassin's all to much either. We can't trust that they wont do the same thing to us and kill our king. We don't want to take that risk."

Ella didn't really say anything else to Ali. She understood exactly what she had just told her. Evin would kill her if he ever found out that she went along with Ali to where ever she was going. Actually, Evin would probably kill Ali if he ever found out she brought Ella along with her to where ever she was going. She was taking a big risk doing this and she had to be grateful.
After a couple more hours of traveling, things were just getting a little weird. Neither of them were speaking to each other. She understood why. Ali was probably mad at her for doing this, and she should have known better than to follow Ali out of the camp.
"Why were you speaking to Jake? I didn't see him, but I knew he was there." She hoped that this subject wasn't to touchy.

There was nothing here, nothing at all. Evin had spent hours looking through these archives, and surprisingly, he hadn't been bothered at all.
Jake's records had been completely erased from the archives. There wasn't even a record of him from when he became a citizen of Newhaven back when he was expelled from the Wolf Pack. Evin knew then that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He closed the book that he had been reading and rested his head on it for a few minutes of rest.
