Jeff scowled at the side of the tent and hunched his shoulders beneath the blanket, determined not to say a single word to the deceiving Alexis. Her plea for friendship touched his kind nature, but the memory of her betrayal was far too fresh in his mind. The very thought of her was painful, and her voice was t.orture; he would not suffer himself to look at her, lest he cry and show himself to be a fool. He was deeply ashamed of his own gullibility; that he had fallen into a retrospectively obvious trap for the sake of a pretty face. He had fancied himself more shrewd.
Suddenly, a strange voice could be heard outside the tent-- a young female voice. Jeff heard Alexis shift her weight to peer beyond the tent flap. Great, the boy thought, someone else to torment me. When will this nightmare end?

Angie glared at the warrior. "I'm not afraid of you," she declared loftily. "And I'm not hungry, either." Just then her stomach gave a thunderous growl. Angie didn't flinch but glowered all the more fiercely, enraged at her treacherous stomach. "Well, I'm not," she insisted, and sat down hard on a log across the fire from the Cheysuli. She sniffed loudly and looked around the camp with the disdainful air of a princess visiting the home of a peasant.
She caught sight of Alexis sitting in the entrance of the tent and her eyes widened slightly. "Who are you?" she demanded, narrowing her eyes in suspicion at the startlingly beautiful g.irl.
