Desperation, fear and hunger eventually led Emmah to an unexpected place. The residence of a family that she never wanted to meet in her life. The Bumblebart's.
Emmah had stood outside in the cold for thirty minutes, hesitant about knocking on the door of the house. Snow had buried her feet as she contemplated on coming face to face with the very man she had rejected and the woman his hand had been cut off because of her.
When Emmah became a Windrider, she had instigated Lysander to help her get rid of the Bumblebart's. He had paid someone secretly to kill them. In the end, Mr. Bumblebart's legs had been broken and his mother's left hand had been cut off. If they knew she had been involved, they would probably beat her.
Nevertheless, she had decided to try her luck for she had nowhere else to turn.
