The Unwilling Apprentice (Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
"Perhaps you should tell our friends that the way is safe for Ruth to return to her father," he reminded the boy. Fred sighed and shuffled off to Pat's room. He reached the door and quietly knocked on the entrance. "Who is it?" Pat called out. "It's Fred, can I come in?" he whispered. He heard noises and in a few moments the door swung open. Pat grabbed Fred by the collar and dragged him inside. He tripped on the stone tiles and fell hard on his butt while she shut the door behind him. Fred rubbed his derriere and scowled at her. "What did you do that for?" he complained. Pat quickly knelt beside him and clapped her hand over his mouth. She put a finger to her lips and her eyes darted over to the door. Fred stiffened and listened, but he didn't hear anything and tore her hand from his mouth. "I don't hear anything," he told her. He expected their usual banter, but she only furrowed her brow. "Did you see anyone out there?" Fred shook his head. "Someone walked along the hallway a few minutes ago, and stopped at our door." Fred looked around the room and was relieved to see Ruth seated on the bed.
