GoodReadWith a sudden splash, Quinn found herself being hauled out of the water. Her lungs were gasping for air, each
breath she took was a mixture of gasps and water spewing out. The world around her spun in dizzying circles
and she found herself lying on the ground. She struggled to open her eyes, but all she was met with was an
engulfing darkness.
An unknown force was pressing down on her chest, causing a salty stream to pour uncontrollably from her
mouth. After what seemed like an eternity, a buildup of breath in her chest suddenly surged forth. "Cough "
Quinn managed to turn her head, expelling a mouthful of water.
Cool, desperate gulps of air rushed into her beleaguered lungs. At last, she could breathe deeply again."Quinn,

Once he was sure all was quiet below, he stood up and ordered the people behind him, "Go find them! We must
find them no matter what!" The bodyguards behind him nodded and ran off, searching for a way down the
mountain. Kyle Astor had planned to settle scores with Walter, but when he hurried back to the farmhouse, he
found two bodyguards lying on the ground, their fates uncertain.
Frowning, Kyle Astor burst into the house. The person who should have been bedridden from serious injuries was
now nowhere to be seen; the room was empty.Kyle Astor searched several rooms, scouring almost the entire
farmhouse, with no sign of Walter.
He stepped back, looking at the deserted spaces. Walter had escaped! But now, Kyle Astor had to find Alexander.
He had seen on the ascent that the canyons amidst these mountains were mostly water, like a white serpent
winding through the peaks.
