Chapter 29: Do you wish for death?

''Will you eat and stop whining? I'll really get into trouble now if you keep wasting time!'' Pen scolded and quickly took the duvet in her hands and began to squeeze it. 

Neera looked at the food in her hand. She knew this was part of Penelope's meal and she had saved it for her to eat. Tears clouded her eyes, as she thought of what she did to deserve such a good friend.

''Thank you, Pen. '' She said, and Pen looked at her; ''You're welcome, hurry. It's getting dark. '' 

She said, but before Neera could take a bite of the food, two guards marched toward them. 

They both stood up in panic, and Pen wondered if they were sent by Freya to come take her because she was helping Neera; but before they could say anything, the guards held Neera's arms and dragged her out.

''Let me go! Pen! Pen!'' Neera shouted as she was being dragged along.
