Tribe: The Red Hand (Tribe Series Book 1) (14 page)

The shame burning in her cheeks spoke louder than any words she might have said, or any excuse she might have made. She had believed the Ancestors were showing her a way to turn everyone against him and his ridiculous plan.

Her brother added, “When you told of what the Ancestors showed you, I was as surprised as everyone else.” A strange, feverish light came into his gray eyes. “But at the same time, Kes, I knew at that moment that I had been right all along: the Ancestors
want
us to go to war against the Tall Ones.”

Kestrel felt as if the world were spinning around her. Could it be true? Did the Ancestors, who she felt sure had accepted the blood she offered in exchange for aid during the rite of the Kill, actually want her people to make war against the Tall Ones?

She did not want to believe it, but denying the apparent truth was impossible. The Ancestors had spoken through her, and their will must be done, even if she could not understand it.

All of it came down to a single, undeniable certainty. Sometime soon, in order to obey and keep the favor of the Ancestors, her people would make war on the Tall Ones.

So ends
