Howl examined the maps. "Hey, didn't Valerian say something about a girl being the daughter of a miner?"

"Oh, yeah!" Scratch exclaimed. So, wait." He then turns to Mica. "You lived with them?"

Mica was in shock about what has just been mentioned. "Um, yeah.....who told you this?" Shadow then looked at him with concern in those sky blue eyes. "You know her, don't you?"

"Um, okay l....first of all, I prefer the scary, obsidian eyes from Hell..." Shadow rolled his eyes at the response. "....and second.....I wouldn't trust her if I were you!"

"What do you mean?" Scratch asked.

Mica then said. "She's not who you think she is...let's just say that."

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

Rose stood pale faced in the center of the room. "She's my FRIEND! What did she do?"

"It's more than what she did, it's who she is..." Mica looked up at her with concern.

These guys seriously don't know who she is?

"Wait, I thought you saw her at the Tower..." Rose said. "If she really is dangerous, why didn't you tell us before?"

"Mainly, I saw you, she was just in the background.....but she had her back turned and I couldn't recognize her. Also, I was too busy on my own mission to go tell on Traitor."

"Mica, if it weren't for me, no one would have been freed." Shadow told him.

Mica wheezed. "Freed....I call that bullshit! Because of you, everyone died there!"

Shadow corrected him. "They were already dust in the ground."

Howl then changed to Zack, Scratch changed as well.

Mica sighed. "Whatever you say. Anyway, back to the subject. Does anyone know about the Crone Witch?"

No one answered. Mica muttered under his breath. "Of course you don't. Alright, I'll tell you about her."
