Chapter 16

Amelia’s eyes felt heavy. Pain slammed into her. What had happened?

Debris was everywhere. She was trapped. Jacob? Where was Jacob?

“Jacob!” She tried to move, but it was hard. Rocks. There were rocks on her? Stones… Frantically, she pushed at them while screaming for him. “Jacob!”

“Amelia,” he responded. “Amelia, keep calm. ‘Twas an explosion.” Her vision was blurry as he came to kneel beside her. His hands grasped her head as if he was checking her for wounds.

“Jacob, what was that? What happened?”

“An explosion. ‘Twas a bomb.”

“A bomb?” Why would there be a bomb?

“Aye. Dinnae move, Amelia. ‘Tis not safe. The walls are old…”

She looked around and sure enough, the walls were still reverberating from the blast. They had stood for centuries, surely they would hold for a while longer. Surely, they would protect them until they could get out. They had to get out!

“Jacob! We have to get out of here!”

“Stay still, I will get ye free. First, I need to make sure ye will be all right if I move the stones off of ye. Can ye stay with me and be calm?”

She nodded. What choice did she have? Loose gravel was slowly streaming down upon them from above.

He tore his shirt and wrapped it around her face to make a mask. There was dust everywhere. Even now he was thinking of her. The fabric carried his spicy scent and it surrounded her, comforted her. “I need to tell you something.”

“’Tis not the time.” He moved the stones off of her one by one until he got to her leg. Looking down, she saw that she was trapped.

A stone shook loose from above. She squeezed her eyes shut and screamed!

When there was no impact, she looked up. Jacob was holding the large stone up, shielding her. As he tried to move it to the side, the wall came down.
