Loodie led us to the bottom of the ravine where I had once fallen while being chased by the warriors last month. There was an inward-sloping rock wall that could be used as a hiding place.
There was also a safe path leading down into the ravine. That was the path Rudy had used to help me before. Since Rudy knew about this place, I hoped he had brought Maria here to hide.
The cold pierced our bodies, but we couldn't light a fire. It would expose our location to the other rogues.
Fortunately, werewolf eyes could see in the dark.
I approached Eson, who had laid Ella down beside the ravine wall. He opened his daughter's clothes. A broken arrow was lodged in her right chest. Blood flowed heavily from the wound.
Ella was still conscious, but she squeezed her eyes shut, enduring the pain. My chest tightened as I watched her struggle.
Eson tried to pull the arrow out, but his hands hesitated when he saw his daughter's face.
