May we all find our healing blue light. And to my teal army helping me SHOUT Against the Whisper! You amaze me constantly with your unending compassion, prayers and love. You all have Captured my Heart. October of the Year our Lord God, 1. Dearest Meg,They are coming for me. I’m so sorry I must go to God now. I pray my Lord keeps you safe. Mistress Collins promises she will carry this letter and my journal to my brother. Pray God Rowland releases you to his care. You must flee Rowland Boswell if he comes for you when you are grown. I fear he will use you. He is evil and his lies have condemned me to flames. He planned to kill young King Henry and Princess Mary and will stop at nothing to save himself. I took his letters detailing out his treasonous plans. They are hidden somewhere safe. Heed my words and find them! They are your only weapon against him. Remember I love you now and for eternity. Your ever faithful and loving mother,Isabelle. Chapter One. English/Scottish Border: September 1. Meg Boswell pressed her forehead into the damp neck of her horse as she clung to his mane. Fingers of moonlight stretched down, flickering against woman and beast as they galloped along the narrow road flanked by shadows and trees. Aunt Mary’s hasty directions beat in Meg’s head: Stay on the north road that follows the river up into Scotland. Good Lord! She couldn’t even hear the river anymore. Was this still the right road? Pippen’s hooves clopped hard against the packed dirt. A crisp night wind tossed the leaves overhead, twirling many down to cover the road. Meg coaxed the crumpled parchment from her cloak pocket and smoothed it as she balanced easily in Pippen’s sway. God, keep me on the right path. She blinked and held the scrap up to a flash of moonlight. Aunt Mary’s blocky letters were engulfed in shadow. With her empty hand Meg touched her thumb and index fingertips together and drew them apart slowly as if honey stuck between them. A soft blue bubble expanded into the size of a chestnut, illuminating the poorly written words. Rachil Munro, Alec Munro. Scotlind to west bi see. Meg hastily snuffed out the blue orb and secured the note. She reached out to Pippen with her senses. The horse’s breath came in labored puffs. His lungs expanded and contracted, muscle fibers stretched with exertion, heart pounding, nearing its limit. Meg swallowed past the clenching in her throat and pulled back on Pippen’s reins. She glanced behind her. No torches or snapping hounds. No hangman or executioner. No Rowland Boswell. She sucked down the cool air. Panic chased people off cliffs, and panic had already ruled her day. Calm thinking must save her now, for she definitely needed saving. Uncle Harold may be too afraid of English law to help, but Aunt Mary wasn’t. Fear of witchcraft accusations chased all healers, even if she didn’t have the curse that Meg had to hide. When they’d received word that Meg’s father, Rowland Boswell, was half a day away and coming to retrieve her, Aunt Mary had packed up Meg and thrown her onto a horse. Boswell wrote that Meg was to be assessed for godliness and married to a prestigious man at court. Assessed for godliness? In other words he planned to test her for witchery. And Meg wasn’t going to sit obediently at home waiting to be examined, tried, and burned on the same false charges as her mother. A branch in the thick woods snapped. Meg choked on a breath, coughing on the acrid taste of subdued panic. She glanced once again over her shoulder. Let no one see your light. Aunt Mary’s words beat through Meg’s memory in the silence. Eyes wide, searching the shadows, she pulled her bow to rest in her lap. She was well ahead of her father. She would get away. Pippen nickered and twitched his ears. Meg stroked his sweaty neck as she scanned between the flanking trees. How many nights of terror would there be? Did this road lead to the Highlands like Aunt Mary had said, or would she need to ride across moors and mountains to the west? She should have taken more supplies, sought more direction. Yes, panic had ruled the day. Pippen trotted a step or two, kicking up his hind feet. Meg patted the horse’s neck. He wouldn’t leave us.“Nickum?” Calling out in the silent night made her feel naked, revealed. Unfamiliar yellow eyes reflected the moonlight as they peered out from the trees. Meg put two fingers to her mouth and blew, sending a shrill whistle into the stillness. The night breeze picked at her curls, tickling them across her cheek. She tucked the stray pieces behind an ear and touched Pippen’s neck to assess his physical condition again. Contact with his skin made this quick and easy, second nature to her. Another thing to hide. One small tap with her heels and the horse hopped into a trot and then loped into a canter. Too bad none of her little curses fought off wild animals and bandits and smothered witch’s flames. Meg readied the bow and twisted in the saddle. Six sets of yellow eyes stared out from the trees. As they stalked out into the open, Meg breathed and gripped the nocked arrow. The wolves were smaller than Nickum, but they ran in a pack. They were skinny, hungry. Unlike Nickum as a cub, these hunters saw Meg and Pippen as a means to survive, a huge meal to keep their pack fed.“Not without a fight.” Meg raised, took aim, and fired, three separate movements strung together in lethal harmony as natural to her as breathing. Just like at practice with Uncle Harold. A yelp cut through the stillness as the nearest beast rolled off the path. The warning should have scared them off. However, they kept to the hunt. The moon cast white across their gray snouts and tipped ears as they loped several yards behind. The creature dodged at the last moment and the arrow sliced off into the night. Breathe. Imagine a direct line from your arrow to the target. Once more she shot, this time piercing a rump. The beast’s muffled cry followed as he dodged into the woods. Four more. She loaded, fired, and missed. She turned and clung low to Pippen, digging the heels of her boots into the horse’s sides. Pippen plunged through the splashes of moonlight that filtered down between the leaves of the thinning trees. She peered under an arm. Her heart dropped into her stomach as one wolf snapped at Pippen’s ankles.“Go away!” she screamed. Fury pulsed, filling her and squelching fear. She didn’t want to kill them and she didn’t want to die. The front wolf bent low, ears back, eyes narrowed. It plowed forward and the others followed. She notched another arrow, this time sitting up straight she aimed downward. Whump! The arrow pierced the beast’s back, and he careened off to the gully. She twisted to the other side, balanced on the charging horse. Pippen’s coat slicked with sweat. The poor horse couldn’t outrun them.“Nickum!” Was he out there? Had the pack taken him down first? Meg twisted. At the same time Pippen jumped, stretching his body over a fallen log. The arrow fired into the air as she clung to Pippen with her thighs, determined to hold on. He veered into the trees. Wham! A branch slammed into her chest and plucked her off the horse. She hung for a moment before falling to the hard ground. It happened too fast to scream. The impact rattled her body, as a spike of pain sparked lightning behind her eyes. She must remain conscious. She heard snarling, snapping.
