Raiders' Ransom (2011)
“On my own while Zeph and Lexy get taken by their fathers. I’m scared for both of them, but what can I do? And I’m scared for me as well, cos what’s going to happen when I go to the Scots? What will they do to me?
Jasper has a word with the Prime Minister, who nods. Then he crunches across the beach toward me. He’s got the jewel in his hand, and the head looks well happy about it, not like it ever did with me.
“Well then, are you coming?” And I nod without saying a word, cos I feel lost. I got t...he Prime Minister’s daughter back to him, but he still wants to fight, and he still wants to hang us. Back at the village, the Prime Minister told us if his daughter said we weren’t traitors then the village would be spared. But she just told him I wasn’t a traitor and he didn’t believe her. So what now? What about Andy and the others? Out with the army. Marching and being beaten. But maybe they won’t have to fight, anyway? Maybe this battle will sort everything out … Jasper puts a hand on my shoulder.MoreLess
