    Beyond My Knowing, chapter 23

    After a while of walking, largely in silence, Kes and Tresit had gotten much closer to the city. They stopped and hid though when they heard voices. ”Why would someone be coming out this way?” Kes whispered to Tresit once they’d ducked into the best hiding spot they could find.

    ”I don’t know.” Tresit shook his head. ”There’s no reason to…” He sighed. ”Except if they were looking for someone living out here…”

    Cold dread and a tendency towards panic rushed through Kes’s mind and body so fast she felt almost a little dizzy from it. She grit her teeth and forced her way through the feelings though. ”We have to see.” She told him in a tightly controlled whisper. ”You stay here.”

    ”I won-” Tresit started to protest.

    Kes stopped him, meeting his eyes sharply enough to surprise him into quiet. ”You’ll stay here. You have to. If I’m spotted, I’m faster than you. I can lead them away while you run back to Anara and Lanam and get them out of the house. If that happens, bring them to meet me by the expanse on the more deserted side of the city where we went to retrieve my supplies. It has to be this way, it’s our best chance of protecting our family.” She told him quietly, but keeping purpose and determination in her voice.

    He nodded, accepting her sound reasoning, if with still evident reluctance. ”I won’t fail.” He told her.

    ”I know you won’t.” Kes told him, trying to put as much faith and belief in the words as she could. She put a hand on his shoulder and sent him a few of those feelings with her mental abilities too, before turning and heading towards the sound of the voices. The truth was, of course, she could warn Anara of danger through their link, and she would do that if needed, but she and her wife both wanted Tresit safe, so she’d lied to him to make sure he would be.

    She took out her knives as she crept along, turning them under so they pointed down instead of up so she could climb among the rocks more easily. As she got closer, the voices went quiet. She could sense where they were anyway though; still, that they had gone quiet made her even more cautious. Had they heard her coming? She readied herself, putting herself in the frame of mind to use her abilities against them if she had to. She knew that, again, her mental abilities were her only real advantage. Unless luck was very much on her side, she was under no illusions that the knives would give her much of a real chance in a fight against two Kazon males who were probably better armed, and she was dubious at best at the prospect of being able to outrun them for very long either. She could sense there were two for sure though, even if she couldn’t tell if they were male or what age they were yet.
