It was unfortunate that Oak had picked Blackthorn to come with them; he’d hoped he would have chosen Hemlock; the seeds were growing well within him
23.
It didn't matter, Hemlock was in the group to the west of them and so he was close by, whereas, Linden was far away in the south patrol
24.
He could even be days away but he was not as easy to manipulate as Hemlock
25.
New ideas presented themselves one after another as he watched Hemlock walking toward him
26.
All the defenders were sat close in a circle except Elm and Hemlock who were told to sit off to one side so they couldn't hear the conversation
27.
” Hemlock looked at Elm his eyes blank of any expression but Elm knew what thoughts lingered behind and he gave an internal laugh at how he would manipulate Hemlock and control Pine further on their journey
28.
Elm watched the conversation and was impressed at the adamant behaviour of Hemlock in expressing his disregard for Elm and distaste at having to be constantly with him
29.
His energy in putting forth his request for a change of guard (although, he could not hear the words Hemlock's expression and hand gestures were very telling) made Elm himself question how faithful Hemlock was to him
30.
Pine dismissed Hemlock who glared back at Pine with a blackened mien and instead continued to question him further about the trip
31.
Pine most willingly gave Hemlock answers to placate his anger at being warden and even placed a hand upon Hemlock's shoulder as he talked
32.
” With this Hemlock pulled on the rope and began to run with the rest of the group towing a stumbling and unbalanced Elm behind
33.
If Cedar died his hold on Hemlock would be tenuous
34.
Hemlock had similar political views to Elm but it was Elm's knowledge of Hemlock's love for Rose (who was joined to Cedar and no-one could break that bond) that kept Hemlock in Elm's control
35.
He had come across the two of them in an embrace, a passionate kiss, proving Rose herself was in love with Hemlock
36.
He wondered if they would hold true to their words but they knew if he told Oak Hemlock would be thrown out of the clan forever
37.
They looked at one another with mournful eyes that turned Elm's stomach at how pathetic they were, but he was glad of the hold he had over Hemlock
38.
Hemlock was a good defender and he supplied Elm with all the news and knowledge of Oak and his plans
39.
With this new discomfort he started to fidget receiving attention from Hemlock in his curiosity as to what was bothering him
40.
He gave Hemlock a weak smile noticing how bright the moon had become by its reflection on his face and turned away to escape his questioning gaze
41.
He realized in his interned state that very little was left available to him, perhaps especially if he could no longer rely on Hemlock as an ally
42.
Hemlock was sweeping his sword toward the beasts head, it jerked away, roaring in frustration at not attaining his death
43.
Leaping forward again at Hemlock, it's claws ready to tear off his flesh, it's teeth ready to disembowel his body, it went for the kill
44.
Hemlock was quick and small enough to dodge as it lunged, leaving it frustrated once more
45.
He didn’t realize how viscid with blood he was until Hemlock pulled him up
46.
Elm's mind was foggy when he finally felt a hand grab hold of him and pull him up to his knees and realized it was Hemlock
47.
Hemlock responded with nothing but a gentle pull as he helped him to his feet
48.
With surprised eyes Elm watched Hemlock sweep his foot under his unsuspecting victim and watched him fall, heard the thunk as he landed, continued to watch in thankfulness as Hemlock grasped the arm of his other captor, and spun him around twisting it behind his back, wrenching it upward into a painful lock causing the boy to cry out in agony
49.
Elm's face was covered in tears as he carried the now quiet Fern in his arms, blindly taking her down the stairs to the cabin he'd been given to share with Hemlock
50.
He hadn't realized that Hemlock was following him until he passed through the door and Hemlock flicked the switch for the light
51.
” Hemlock encouraged softly, his words filled with empathy and sadness
52.
“I'll remain nearby Hemlock, but in case she needs a warm broth, then I'll be no further than the kitchen
53.
“Keep to that!” Hemlock retorted softly trying to joke in the dark situation, knowing nothing could lighten the turn of events as he spun around and left them alone
54.
Hemlock opened the door and helped Elm through
55.
“I'm sorry Hemlock but I think you're right
56.
Elm gave a harsh look at Hemlock but couldn't keep it as he too smiled at the weakness of the male race
57.
“Thank you Hemlock! I appreciate your help!” He gave him a slight wave and cautiously laid himself down upon Hemlock's cot still holding the melting ice upon his throbbing nose
58.
Elm moved his hand and ice from his face knowing Hemlock was waiting for his lead
59.
Hemlock was soon beside him and laid a hand upon his shoulder
60.
Hemlock gave a sigh and moved to the opposite cot where he pulled the pillow off the bed
61.
He looked quizzically at Hemlock who immediately understood and went to the cot to grab the blanket there
62.
He placed his hand upon the side of her face and looked back at Hemlock with fear in his eyes
63.
Hemlock busied himself rubbing her arms, carefully wrapping the blanket around the rest of her body to keep her warm, whilst Elm gently rubbed and shook her shoulders
64.
“Fern!” it came out as a yell as he quickly arose and stood over her, even Hemlock stopped in shock, and briefly looked at him before continuing with his task at hand
65.
Hemlock picked up the soup and gave it and the spoon to Elm, who looked dubiously at it wondering just how hot it would be after all the time that had passed
66.
The splutter shocked him as much as it did Hemlock and Elm was almost ready to hand the job over to Hemlock and sleep in another room, but for Fern’s now open eyes looking pleadingly into his for help
67.
He was so absorbed in his actions that he didn't even notice Hemlock leave the room
68.
He turned away so Hemlock couldn't see the burning rush that was forming in his face after he said the words
69.
“You look terrible!” Hemlock pulled a face to show just how awful he looked, scrunching his nose, mouth and eyes in distaste at the abused face before him
70.
Pulling Hemlock out with him into the corridor, he shut the door behind them
71.
“It isn't important,” Hemlock replied but Elm knew it was
72.
He knew Hemlock was still beside him and sensed that he was just as relieved to see the fruit too
73.
They gave Elm and Hemlock a quick perfunctory glance and continued with their own conversations
74.
“Why aren't they angry with me? I fought their Captain, shouldn't I be in chains?” Elm looked around the room as he said the words and turned his attention back to Hemlock
75.
Elm nodded back to Hemlock in understanding
76.

It was of no avail that the pavements of Paris were there on every side, the classic and splendid hotels of the Rue de Varennes a couple of paces away, the dome of the Invalides close at hand, the Chamber of Deputies not far off; the carriages of the Rue de Bourgogne and of the Rue SaintDominique rumbled luxuriously, in vain, in the vicinity, in vain did the yellow, brown, white, and red omnibuses cross each other's course at the neighboring cross-roads; the Rue Plumet was the desert; and the death of the former proprietors, the revolution which had passed over it, the crumbling away of ancient fortunes, absence, forgetfulness, forty years of abandonment and widowhood, had sufficed to restore to this privileged spot ferns, mulleins, hemlock, yarrow, tall weeds, great crimped plants, with large leaves of pale green cloth, lizards, beetles, uneasy and rapid insects; to cause to spring forth from the depths of the earth and to reappear between those four walls a certain indescribable and savage grandeur; and for nature, which disconcerts the petty arrangements of man, and which sheds herself always thoroughly where she diffuses herself at all, in the ant as well as in the eagle, to blossom out in a petty little Parisian garden with as much rude force and majesty as in a virgin forest of the New World

Instead of calling on some scholar, I paid many a visit to particular trees, of kinds which are rare in this neighborhood, standing far away in the middle of some pasture, or in the depths of a wood or swamp, or on a hilltop; such as the black birch, of which we have some handsome specimens two feet in diameter; its cousin, the yellow birch, with its loose golden vest, perfumed like the first; the beech, which has so neat a bole and beautifully lichen-painted, perfect in all its details, of which, excepting scattered specimens, I know but one small grove of sizable trees left in the township, supposed by some to have been planted by the pigeons that were once baited with beechnuts near by; it is worth the while to see the silver grain sparkle when you split this wood; the bass; the hornbeam; the Celtis occidentalis, or false elm, of which we have but one well-grown; some taller mast of a pine, a shingle tree, or a more perfect hemlock than usual, standing like a pagoda in the midst of the woods; and many others I could mention
