Halle and Camden searched everywhere but couldn’t find Briar. Instead, they stumbled upon an unconscious Beatrice in a small grove. “Beatrice!” Halle’s high–pitched voice echoed through the woods, startling a flock of birds into flight. “Beatrice, what happened to you?”

Camden rushed to Beatrice’s side, his eyes wide with rage and shock as he took in the unnatural angles of her right

arm and leg. “Mom, Beatrice’s right arm and leg… they’re both broken.”

Halle staggered, her heart sinking. Beatrice Jennings was a remarkably talented dancer. A broken arm could be treated, but a broken leg was a dancer’s worst nightmare. “Who did this? Who harmed Beatrice?” Halle felt herself

on the brink of losing her mind.

Beatrice was Halle’s most tremendous pride, the one thing she could present to the world. If Beatrice’s leg was truly broken and she could never dance again, any hope of the two of them rising to the elite would be lost.

Camden had already called an ambulance and informed Edgar about the situation. It was a serious matter, and as

the head of the Jennings family, Edgar would demand answers from Shoneport University.
