LUCIANA
Struck by Lightning and Lived to Tell About It.
That’s the headline that ran through my mind as I lay on the tomb floor,
trying to remember to breathe. Cascading through time felt—especially
when we released our hands from the prints—like a shock wave going
through me. I groaned and turned my head to see Ilaria and Domenico to
my right, gradually coming around.
We’d made it. All of us had made it. Back to the right time? And . . .
Giulio?
I pushed up on an elbow, looking around.
Lady Adri was asleep at the edge of the tomb, with a blanket below her
and another on top—as if she had been camping out.
Sensing our movement, her lovely light-blue eyes opened, and she rose
with the three of us, face aglow. “Oh, you did it!” She rushed to Ilaria and
bent to examine her wound, just as Ilaria herself did. The scar upon her skin
—while covered in dried blood—appeared as if it had healed years ago.
Lady Adri gripped the young woman’s shoulders, grinning, and hugged
her close, then turned to Nico and me to do the same, kissing us each on
both cheeks as the Italians do. “Well done, my young cousins. Well done!”
“How-how long have we been gone?” my brother asked.
“Toscano, per favore.” Ilaria touched his arm, wanting to understand
too. In Tuscan, please. Meaning, their medieval dialect of Italian.
“You were gone three days,” Adri returned in the native tongue. “You
were swift,” she added in admiration. “Was it about three minutes?”
“About. But we weren’t quite swift enough,” he added ruefully.
She lifted a brow. “Oh?”
“Doctor Manero and two men were in the tomb when we arrived. One
saw us appear. They tried to grab us. I think all three of them saw us
disappear. Maybe a fourth.”
Adri’s eyebrows rose. “Oh.”
“What happened?” Ilaria stared down at her blood-soaked gown. “I
remember getting hit by the arrow. But little after, until. . .” She looked at
me and my brother. “Where were we? Who were those people?”
Nico rubbed the back of his neck. “That will take a bit to explain.”
“Well, then, please. Begin.” Ilaria crossed her arms.
“Has anyone seen this happen before?” I asked, turning Adri aside as
my brother began to tell Ilaria the truth about our ability to travel through
time—and the tunnel’s ability to heal.
Adri put a hand on her head, thinking. “No. A number have seen us
emerge from or disappear into the tomb, but we’ve always been able to
explain it away. None but family have actually seen it occur.”
“Will they chalk it up to a dream?” I asked hopefully.
Her eyes narrowed. “Not Manero. He will conduct a very thorough
investigation. Mayhap even do damage to the tunnel in his desire to
discover what is transpiring.”
