Present Day, near Drummond Castle
The town was busy, as usual, the market filled with people who perused the
stalls. Cathleen and Bonnie had been there for a few days already,
formulating their plan and waiting for the right moment to attack, and the
day had finally come.
Cathleen both dreaded it and wanted to finish her task as soon as possible.
The sooner she was done with all this, the sooner she could stop worrying
about the consequences—not only the ones she would have to face, but also
the ones others would face. Guilt flooded her every waking moment at the
thought that she would do something so cruel to an innocent person. It
didn’t help that in the days they had spent in the town, everyone around
them had raved about Laird Drummond, praising him not only as a good
laird, but also as a man.
Everyone loved their leader, it seemed. They had nothing bad to say about
him and that only served to worsen Cathleen’s guilt. Had he been as cruel as
Faolan, then perhaps it would have been easier to convince herself that what
she was doing was for the best. As it was, the thought of hurting those
people she didn’t even know was enough to make her crumble every night
in secret, when Bonnie was asleep.
She had no choice but to go through with the plan. She knew that, and yet
every day she was closer to telling Bonnie the whole truth and simply
taking her out of that town, somewhere where the two of them could be
together, away from Faolan and his threats.
But how could she leave her people behind? How could she leave the clan
in Faolan’s hands when she knew what he planned to do?
Such a war as Faolan wanted to wage would spell the end of her people.
Bonnie’s hands trembled where they were wrapped around the bow tightly,
as though loosening her grip for even a moment would mean that she would
lose her courage to do this.
Cathleen wrapped her own hands over them,
giving her a reassuring squeeze and a weak smile, though she was certain
they did little to calm her sister. Behind the cover of the tall bushes near the
market, they were hidden from any prying eyes, but Cathleen kept her voice
in a low whisper to be safe.
“Ye can dae this,” Cathleen said. “Everythin’ will be fine.”
“What if I injure him too much?” Bonnie asked, horrified at the mere
prospect of causing too much damage. “What if… what if I kill him? What
if my aim is bad?”
