Ravensblood Forest Pretense against Pretext

alright. Since quite a few of these chsries sre going inactive. I'm gonna slap an ending on this. It was agreed they'd get out.

 

Whether they were to scared or just didn't realize. Arric didn't know. But they got the survivors out without too much fanfare. But they all didn't look great. He hoped Etienne's healing process and Arlettes if they wanted was enough. 

It hurt him to see such strong woman wounded and hurting. And a hate for the kidnappers intensified. He led them all away. And would return to the creek with a sense of foreboding on his shoulders.
