Chapter 196
The men were depressed. I didn’t think the small dark room we were in was helping. It probably reminded them too much of their new home.
“I want to go outside,” I said pushing Evan off my lap and springing off the bed.
“Why?” Christof asked sullenly.
“I want to be in the sun,” I said pulling at Bane’s boot, “and you need to be outside, too.”

“Why?” Christof asked again.
“The sunshine is good for you,” I said with authority, although I didn’t really know. “You’ve been moping around for too long. Get up and come walk outside with me.”
Damien cocked an eyebrow at me. My tone was completely inappropriate, obviously, but nobody else noticed.
“Well, if you aren’t going, I’ll go myself,” I stated heading for the door.
They didn’t stop me. Christof sat up, at least.
I watched them through the huge arched doorway to the bedroom as I donned my long brown leg covers and two brown outer layers. Now it seemed Like a dare, they were all sitting up on the bed looking at me.

“I like the noise you made, Ciara,” Master Kein joked as we walked.
“Can you make it again?”
“Only if you scare me, Master Kein, and I won’t fall for that again said kicking a small stone.

“I could do that, too,” I said raising myself up to my full height.
Actually no, I could not do that. I had no idea what made me claim I could. They took me up on it.
