Chapter 5

Happy Monday! :)

In case some of you didn't notice, I posted two posts during the week. If you haven't seen them yet, make sure you at least read the one titled "A Slight Change" because I touched on a minor change that will be a part of this chapter.

For today's character profile I chose Ellyn's sister Sybil, cast as Isabelle Allen:

Since the last chapter ended on a cliff hanger, I'll include the last part of that chapter in case you want to refresh your memory. :) And if you haven't caught up on the first four chapters yet... spoiler alert. :P

Chapter 4 excerpt:

There was a small shuffling. Ellyn’s grip around Julius’s arm tightened and she felt his muscles tense.

            “Ellyn?” a small voice squeaked, sounding nearby, but very muffled.

            “Yes, it’s me, Sybil, where are you? Come out, it’s alright,” Ellyn said, sighing with relief. There was a shuffling nearby and small footsteps approached Ellyn and Julius.

            “Sybil, there you are,” Ellyn said, enfolding her sister tightly in her arms. “It’s alright.”

            “I was afraid,” Sybil said, her voice shaking.

            “I know,” Ellyn said, holding her sister tightly. “We need to go inside now where it’s safe.”

            But a loud crash broke her words. Moonlight flooded through the door as it was pushed open, and a shadow filled the doorway. Ellyn gasped and Julius grabbed her and Sybil and opened the stall door, pushing both of them inside. He pushed them to the ground and closed the door, standing in front of it with his hand on the hilt of his sword. Ellyn squeezed Sybil in her arms, shaking with terror.
