Wizz Back in Time (A preview of a different book.)

This family of Christians had fled Rome and arrived safely in their new home high in the Alps, but that is not the end of their troubles.A battle is going on just over the next hill as it were, and Cedric's Clan is frantically digging a tunnel to a hiding place underground.

...They were soon on their hands and knees digging

into their dirt floor with whatever tool they could utilize.

 Every once in a while Tayletha, after a swift look around,

 would dart out with a bucketful of dirt that she scattered

carefully in some hidden spot. Silas was too busy, and Rachel

certainly  was not brave enough. Although they saw no one,

the shouts of warriors and clashes of metal against metal

 sent chills down their spines.

"What I hate the most," Tayletha muttered angrily as she handed an empty bucket to Silas, “Is that they expose the babies to the battle.”    From time to time the piercing wail of an infant or distinct childlike sobbing would reach their ears. "Why do they do that?” Rachel asked, cuddling her frightened infant against her shoulder...

Tayletha had hurried outdoors with another pail of dirt, but was soon back looking pale and

frightened.

“I just saw a warrior dash through the trees.

I don’t know where he was going or what he was up
     to.”

“Was he heading our way?” Silas demanded.

“No. No he was heading towards the settlement. But he was carrying a torch! In broad daylight, at that! Oh, I hope he doesn’t intend to set their thatched roofs on fire!”
