Rhana pulled her fur-coat closer around her, shuddering from the cold. She was less than pleased about crossing the cold water, especially when there was a risk of getting her feet wet but she gritted her teeth and drove the horse into the river.

Something caught her attention and she looked up just in time to see Utha fall from the horse. Disliking the man as she did, she could have wished for nothing better than this to happen and she laughed at him, a hoarse, derisive laughter, which only caused him to anger further.

Finally, she reached the opposite shore and was relieved to once again have solid ground under the horse's hooves. Right now she could think of nothing worse than to have joined Utha in the cold water.

Sadiya's baby began to whimper and Rhana turned her head abruptly, glaring at the woman with an angry look in her dark eyes and her hand moved toward the knife.
A hand was placed firmly on her arm, holding her back. It was Kane. He looked at her, then shook his head.
Moving her anger toward him instead, Rhana slapped his hand away. "Get lost! And don't you dare touch me again!" she snarled and rode closer to Gormel though still keeping a safe distance. She knew his reputation and she would have as little as possible to do with him.

She looked back toward Utha and Sadiya, seeing that they were moving again. Good, they had a long way ahead of them and no time to waste, unless they wanted to be captured soon.
