(Callum, Jaimie)
Callum could sense the sudden change in mood.? He started to call after her, but thought better of it.? "Jaimie," he whispered, summoning the young ghost.? In an instant, the boy was there.? "Fetch the other horse and see if Mistress Scheherezade wishes to walk back to the castle or ride.? That's a good lad."? He then mounted his own horse but took a different route, feeling that it might be best to give the young woman her space.??
It only took a minute or two for Jaimie to find the horse and catch up with Scheherezade.??
"Mistress Scheherezade?" the young Scot said deferentially, ducking his head dutifully as he spoke, "Wull ye be wanting tae hurl back?? Tis a bawherr o' a wey tae th' castle.? Bit if yi'll waant tae donder, ah will juist bring yer horse alongside ye."?
Sam had been so lost in her thoughts she blinked when Jaimie spoke. ¡°Pardon?¡± She said then shook her head. ¡°Im sorry, I¡¯m being rude. Walking is fine¡° she said. Although she didn¡¯t really hear him. Her mind was lost to what...just happened.?
So she arrived at the Castle. It was dark now and she wanted a hot bath. ¡°Thank you Jaimie,¡± she said turning to move up stairs. Closing the door she stripped off her clothing and walked into the shower. ?
Up in the tower, she watched it happen all over again. The first time she did nothing. This time she would make them pay.
