Chapterr One
Chapte One
Trent found pleasure in many tastes, but none were quite as delectable as the night
air. It had texture; soft and tender. Over the past few nights he had grown to love it more
and more, and when night ended the craving began.
On the other hand, sunrise frightened him. He didnтАЩt understand why, but it did.
DawnтАЩs piercing rays struck him like shards of glass, pilfering his power like blood
gushing from an open wound. Trent breathed the night air, shuddering at his last thought.
He wondered where exactly Keelin was taking him, and what was going to happen
once they got there. He knew they were in Banff, headed west toward British Columbia.
They had slept under the open sky since leaving Minnow Creek, but for Trent it was
becoming increasingly difficult to sleep at night. Perhaps it was the closeness the
mountain range brought, as compared to the freedom of the prairies. Snow capped
mounts glowed blue beneath the moon and a nearby lake reflected every star. But for
Trent, beneath the encroaching trees and surrounding stone walls it still felt like a prison
closing in.
He watched Keelin dream, tucked inside a warm sleeping bag. She hadnтАЩt said a word
since they left, and whenever he prompted her with questions sheтАЩd say only, тАЬWait till
we get to the Circle.тАЭ Trent suddenly felt insignificant beneath the vast sky.
тАЬHey kid,тАЭ Keelin startled him, тАЬif you donтАЩt quit that pathetic sighing neither of us
will get any sleep.тАЭ
тАЬIтАЩd apologise, but I donтАЩt want you to think IтАЩm weak.тАЭ
тАЬIs that a spine I hear in your voice?тАЭ She sat up, her eyebrows sitting high atop her
forehead and a graceful smile caressing the tension between them.
тАЬSorry, I didnтАЩt mean to sound rude...тАЭ
тАЬBe rude! IтАЩm starting to respect you.тАЭ
тАЬEnough to call me `Trent` and not тАШkidтАЩ? I hate being called that.тАЭ
тАЬDonтАЩt push it kid,тАЭ the emphasis she put on тАШkidтАЩ let him know she was being
sarcastic, тАЬsiblings arenтАЩt supposed to get along.тАЭ
тАЬIs that what we are? Brother and sister?тАЭ
тАЬYep.тАЭ
тАЬAnd old man WhittakerтАЩs our father?тАЭ
тАЬTechnically.тАЭ
тАЬWhy do you keep saying that? What did he do to you that was so unforgivable? I
have a lot of respect for him.тАЭ
She cocked an eyebrow.
тАЬWell, until he bit me.тАЭ
