talking about what to do with them. Rachel was glad that that mean Darken Rahl
didn't get them and that he wasn't lever going to be able to hurt anyone
again. Rachel turned back to make sure the dark thing wasn't coming any closer
to her. It was gone. She looked around, but didn't see it anywhere.

'Sara, where do you think it could have gone?' she whispered.
Her doll didn't have an answer. Rachel bit down on Sara's foot and started
walking toward Chase. Her feet wanted to run, but she didn't want Chase to
think she wasn't brave. He had said she was brave, and that made her feel
good. She looked over her shoulder as she walked, checking, but she didn't see
the dark thing anywhere. Maybe it lived in a hole, and it had gone there. Her
feet still wanted to run, but she didn't let them.

When Rachel got to Chase, she pushed up against him and hugged his leg. He and

her.

'Chase...'

'"Chase"? I told you the rules.' He put his hands on his hips and twisted his
face up, trying to make it look mean, until she giggled and hugged his leg
tighter. 'You've only been my daughter for a few weeks, and already you're
breaking the rules. I told you before, you are to call me "Father." None of my
children are allowed to call me Chase. Understand?'

Rachel grinned and nodded. 'Yes, Ch ... Father.'

He rolled his eyes and shook his head. Then he mussed her hair. 'What is it?'

There's some big animal in the trees. I think it might be a bear, or worse. I
think you might need to take out your sword and go have a look.'

He laughed. A bear! In here?' He laughed again. 'This is an indoor garden,
Rachel. There aren't any bears in an indoor garden. Maybe it was a shadow. The
