Luna crept to the door and opened it just enough to hear who was talking and to see them. No one was in the corridor, because it was so late.All the lights were off, so she had to crane her neck to see who was talking.As she squinted against the dark, she saw the group of men she had seen in breakfast.

The man turned around slowly and cautiosly and continued speaking."We will signal the Kings men when the rebels arrive, and every body will be captured.At sundown."the man said."And vee will make gold?"asked a heavily accented man""Yes."said the man who was obviously the leader of the group"Is that clear.All the heads nodded in unison.Luna gasped and drew herself back into her room. She could hear no more whispers. Luna went to bed thinking about the things she had heard.
