Crane
After shooting Brom in the shoulder and stopping him from attacking
Kat as the headless horseman, then consequently healing his shoulder and
bringing back all his lost memories, the ride back to Sleepy Hollow Institute
is bound to be interesting, to say the least.
I have Kat sharing Gunpowder with me, her body snug in front of mine
and nestled in my coat. Brom and Daredevil are in the lead. I want him
where I can see him, just in case the horseman comes into possession of
him again. It’s not lost on me that the horseman I met in the library is also
out there and could potentially attack us while we’re on the road.
What
would happen if the Hessian in his spirit form and Brom met face-to-face?
Would the ghost kill him? Or could he take over Brom completely, merging
their souls until only the Hessian remained in Brom’s body?
My gut churns at the thought and Kat stiffens.
“Are you alright?” I ask Kat as she’s cradled back against me. I press
my lips on her neck and close my eyes to the feel of her soft skin against
mine. “Cold?”
“Not with your coat,” she says quietly. “I’m just exhausted. And
scared.” I barely hear the last part, her focus up ahead on Brom. The night

that she looks up at me over her shoulder and meets my eyes. She’s been
through so much tonight. I don’t know the specifics of what she did with
Brom and what Brom did to her and to be honest every time I think about it
I’m tempted to reload the gun and shoot him in the other shoulder. He may
remember now, he may be the Brom that I knew, but as long as he’s
possessed, this isn’t over.
In fact, it’s only just the beginning.
I promise, I tell her. I’ve got a hold of you and I’m not letting go. He’s
not going to hurt you ever again.
The look in her eyes tells me she doesn’t believe me. I want her to
believe me, I need her to. I might be making promises I can’t keep, but I’ll
die trying to be right.
I hold her tighter, leaning in to kiss her gently on the cheek. I want
nothing more than to get her in my bed and make her feel safe again, erase
everything that happened to her tonight, let her succumb to a gentle touch
for once. I want her open and raw beneath me while I let my mouth and
