Seeing Falkner rush by made Jezebel worried. What if he makes a law to make it harder for halfbreeds. Where is he rushing to so fast? I better follow him just in case he tries to make life difficult for us. pushing people aside to keep up with him as he headed to lord Charles’s manor. as he went in she made sure no one saw her walking to the side of the house seeing no guards. in the garden the flowers wilted from the winter sleep. leaping up onto the side of the house grabbing shingles as she pulled herself onto the roof trying to lay low rounding to find a window lowering myself to hang by one hand and saw Falkner taking with someone on the bed nearly fell of to what he was saying when he finally left she drop down and started back to the hospital.
Jezebel stumbled in. Seeing Hector lying near Safiya eating before bed
“I need to talk to you in private”
“ok” the two of them walked a good deal distance to make sure they were alone outside of the walls. “What's this about?” Safyia said folding her arms
“I’ve found out that Aeris's power rests at mount Iroswell and we are going to claim it”
“that’s impossible you can’t kill a goddess” Safiya huffed
“there dead no ones heard from them and no one has magic anymore”
“it’s because we angered the gods” Safiya protested
“everyone at once?” she began to screech she was crying trying to comfort her as not to wake everyone up “shh we're fix it and besides if a goddess is in the form of a halfbreed there have to treat halfbreeds better” she stop screeching and clang to Jezebel “we will but where will we find food? Or moas?”

“I can help with that” Hector said stepping out from behind a tree “but for my help I’m coming with you”
“deal but we also need new clothes and a bath” the ones where waring have so many holes my hair is a rat’s nest
“I’ll see what I can do” Hector replied then he turned around and walked back to the hospital
“we can’t trust him” Safiya said still clinging to her for comfort
“we’ll have to. it will be ok we should leave as soon as possible so lord Falkner doesn't get it. halfbreed kind depends on it” they went back to the hospital to plan a route to mount Iroswell.
Once inside the hospital they sat in a circle. The priest had an annoyed expression when they walked in but they paid him no mind Jezebel and Safiya looked at Hector with skepticism
“How are you going to get us supplies?” Safiya asked
“Simple I will go alone and ask Lord Charles for what he can spare” Hector answered
Jezebel laughed quietly as to not wake the others in the hospital
“Why would he give you anything you're nobody and he's a Lord” Jezebel said shaking her head.
“I agree I doubt he will give you anything if we were their or not” Safiya said
“Just trust me he will and if he doesn't then you two can form another plan” Hector assured seeing no down sides in trying they went to bed. She heard Safiya cry softly she got up and rubbed her shoulder softly
“How are you holding up?”
“I have failed. My mother was a good woman. After my father abandoned us she took all of the half breeds and made the camp from nothing. When she grew sick I tried everything but she died and I was left in charge of the camp. They didn’t last a year under my leadership.”
“You did your best” before she left to her own bed. Jezebel laid in bed staring at the hospital ceiling thinking about the day how can I beat Lord Falkner to mount Iroswell if Hector can’t get the supplies we need? I’m going to have to carry most of it, me and Hector will have to anyway. How could he know Lord Charles anyway? How can I help Safiya? She seemed to have a good relationship with her mother. Maybe if I were a better daughter than she would have said I love you. Thinking about all of the embarrassing her mother, what was I thinking yelling at her? I just don’t know anymore. Were her last thoughts as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
