Escaping from the hayes duchy (3)

With Spencer around, Isla felt like she could breathe freely, even though her body was still aching. She did not know if the heavens were on her side, because the moonlight was particularly shining more at this hour. This was how she managed to see when she wanted to cross to the other side of the duchy.
