The Scientist

Melody slept again, after she read the whole letter. She tucked it into her saddlebag and settled quietly next to Yirah. Yirah woke once more and Melody smiled and told her to go back to sleep. Jennifer shook Melody awake, only two hours later. Melody looked up at her groggily.

“Come on, it is time for breakfast,” Jennifer looked at her sideways. “You want to sleep some more, Melody? You look as if you did not sleep well.” Melody blinked. She did want to sleep more. She reached down and pulled a letter out of her saddlebag. She held it up.

“I woke up from a dream and wrote down the incantation. I hid it in my cloak under an enchantment. I held the quill and saw the man who had used it before me. He was the very man we are looking for. It was not his crime. He saved the girl. I saw it,” Melody croaked. Jennifer squealed.

“Fantastic!” She cried. “Sleep on, lovely little girl, sleep on. We will not be leaving for another two hours and we have to prepare. We will prepare for you, as you look miserable and you have given us such a lead!” Jennifer touched Melody’s face and left the room. Melody fell back to sleep immediately. As she slept, she dreamed of Rovingae again. She found it odd that she could not see Melody. Then the young Pramacretine realized that an unfamiliar veil shielded her walk in the dream road. She felt her mother’s presence every time, but she was not sure whether it was her mother, or an incantation her mother cast.

Again, Melody awoke with a hand on her shoulder. Her eyes flickered open, wary of the brightness of the room. Jax sat beside her, smiling.

“You snore,” he said quietly. Melody grunted and turned over.

“I do not,” Jax pulled her back over. He cleaned his face of blood, but the bruises remained. He looked as though he had been fighting, still.

“You do on your stomach,” Jax said, grinning still.

“How unattractive,” she declared. Jax shook his head.

“Not at all,” he said, running his hand through her hair possessively. “It is very light. I like it. It is like a small animal,” Jax said. Melody laughed and wrapped her arms around him, kissing his cheek. As their embrace loosened, Thane and Yirah walked into the room. Thane stared at his half-sister, his face betraying his concern. He recovered quickly.

“I cannot believe you saw history on an object!” Thane cried, sitting beside Jax. “That is unheard of!” Yirah stared at Melody; her look was of admiration mixed with fear. Jennifer walked in and stood beside Thane.

“Melody, we have to go. The letter you gave me is perfect for my tracking and we should find the man next to immediately,”

“Okay, I need to get dressed,” she said, looking expectantly at Jax and Thane. They laughed as they left the girl to prepare. She requested the assistance of one of the two girls in the room. Jennifer dismissed herself because she had to talk to the innkeeper.
