Jaden turned and stalked away. He wasn’t going to give her another second of his time, positive or negative.
“Jaden, don’t leave—please,” Tarise begged.
Her pleas fell on deaf ears. As though he had known Jaden needed him, Han hovered nearby. Jaden smiled at his glider. There were still some good things in this world.
Jaden’s smile didn’t erase Han’s frown. “You need to forgive her.”
“Maybe I will when I get Kayla back. Shall we go see how Taz is doing?”
At the mention of Taz’s name, Han’s face brightened. “Yes, let’s.”
Han arced away into a sky streaked with the indigo hues of approaching night. The light was fading, and Jaden had to squint to catch Han as he darted back for the pickup. As Han lifted them away from the depressing scene below, Jaden couldn’t help but feel alone. And afraid. And despairing.
How had things gone so wrong? Weren’t they the winning team? What was Slurpy doing to Kayla? Where did he have her? A million other questions tumbled out, crushing him, until he felt like there was no air left to breathe. He was drowning.
Exacerbating the sensation, the skies around them dimmed, the high mountains behind him rushing the onslaught of full night. Then the sunlight hit the last angle where its beams could squeeze through the mountain’s bulk. A golden light, tinged with pinks, apricots, and creams, shone through for a second.
And Jaden was reminded of the words Zareh had told him to keep close. “Living with hope.” He snorted derisively at the sentiment. Then he realized that was all that they had left now. Hope. He had to rely on it to find Kayla. He had to remember it to complete his journey and put an end to all this suffering.
It was night and black as sin now, but the new day would soon dawn. When it did, he would be ready.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Born near the famed gold mines of South Africa (where dwarves are sure to prowl), it was the perfect place for Bronwyn to begin her adventures. They took her to another province, her Prince Charming and finally, half a world away to the dark palace of San Francisco. While the majestic Golden Gate Bridge and its Bay views were spectacular, the magical pull of the Colorado Rockies was irresistible. Bronwyn's family set off to explore yet again. Finding a sanctuary at last, this is Bronwyn's perfect place to create alternative universes. Here, her mind can roam and explore and she can conjure up fantastical books for young adults
