"Why did you volunteer us for this again?" Cecil whispered in my ear.

"Why not? I mean, spying on the Romans and getting valuable information to save the camp is very important," I whispered back distractedly. Both Cecil and Lou Ellen gave my incredulous looks. "Okay, so maybe I just had to get out of the infirmary for a while."

"Solace? What are you doing here?"

I jumped and stared up at an angel. The sunrise was set just perfectly, and he seemed to have this heavenly glow around him. I was in awe, and when I'm in awe, I tend to say things and not even realize I'm talking. All I could think was, I really want to hold his hand.

Apparently, my mouth liked that idea, so it spewed some nonsense about delivering a baby satyr and my hands still shaking from it.

I didn't even realize that I was holding his hand until a jolt of darkness seemed to hit me straight in the palm. I drew back and just stared at him for a moment. He started to walk away, and I wasn't going to let him get hurt, so I said the first thing that came to mind.
