CHAPTER 15By the time the lines of children, adults and escorting priests arrived Meztli and her three friends had found a more secure rock to hide behind and follow everything that happened. It was really three pinnacles that rose almost like temple spires but between them were narrow gaps that they could peep through without being seen. They each lay beneath blankets to keep themselves warm and concentrated on the view ahead.
Meztli felt nervous as more unexpected thinks happened. Their field of vision included the top of the stairs where the first arrivals would be seen after being hidden from the steps and the last section of the zigzag. She expected to see a woman with eight children behind and the escorting priests. However, the line of priests leading llamas appeared instead.
