The Marked Son (Keepers Of Life) - Plot & Excerpts
Bodog drops the trap door, the sound a boom of warning in the eerie quiet. Pop, Leo, and Jason grip their rifles tightly, but the only sound comes from the tiny dragon dozing near the heat of the kitchen fire and a soft mewling from a fluffy, white cat whose head rises off its paws when we appear. There’s an uneasy emptiness to the house, like it’s unhappy to shelter me again. I don’t blame it. “Where are they?” A wave of abandonment swells within me, and I quickly tamp it down. I expected Kera to be back by now. Turning toward Bodog, I ask, “You gave her the message I gave you, didn’t you?” His big ears wiggle. “Faldon took it.” “Faldon? Perfect.” His says he’s on her side, but he’s clearly not on mine. “Something’s not right here.” Bodog’s large eyes sweep the area and rise toward the stairs. “Stay.” He points to Pop and motions him to the window. “Watch.” While the two older men scout the area, the cat stands and trots directly toward Leo, the bell hanging around its neck a warning of its intent.
