care what happened to the rest of us.” It shouldn’t surprise her. No one had ever cared what happened to her.
“That’s not true,” Meg said softly. “I’ve cared what’s happened to all of you. I’ve—”
“No arguing, now,” Betty piped in, although it was in a whisper. “Not in front of our hosts.”
“Betty’s right,” Tillie said. “Besides, one for all and all for one.”
Lorna wanted to scream, but bit her lips together.
Meg turned to Black Horse. “I’ve been looking for my sister for ten years. She is the only family I have.”
His arms were folded across his chest, and Lorna folded hers in the exact way. Perhaps because of the way his gaze once again moved to settle on her.

“You stay,” he said.
“Stay?” she replied. “No, we won’t. Meg can stay, but the rest of us are leaving.”
“No,” he said. “You stay. You all stay until Ayashe decides to return to the white world or stay with Tsitsistas.”
“No, we won’t—”
“Nehetaa’e!”
His fast and harsh snap made a tingle zip up Lorna’s spine.
Little One pulled on Meg’s hand as she stood. “My brother has said that is enough. We go now. You come my lodge.”
