8 The morning light streamed through the dense canopy of trees, painijng golden streaks across the wooden table where we sat for breakfast. The scent of freshly baked bread and earthy herbal ten filled the air, but none of us were at ease, The tension was thick, unspoken questions lingering between us as we ate in silence, I kept my gaze von Selene the woman who had taken us in. She moves around her antall kitchen with practiced ease, her long dark hair cascading over her shoulders. She looked so at hhere, as if he had always belonged in this isolated place. But I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to her than she let on.

Setting down my mug, I finally asked the question that had been magglugg atsince last night. "Why are you helping us?" She didn't even look up as she rinsed her hands in a basins at water already told you -It's my destiny." I frowned. That was not an answer.

She finally turned to face me, drying her hands on a cloth. "And yet here you are, eating my food, sleeping under my roof, and waiting forto fix your car," she said simply.

That made Elijah scoff. "We don't have much of a choice, do we?" She shrugged. "No, you don't." I studied her closely. There was something about ber-something eely familine.
