Chapter Six
âPack our things, weâre leavinâ now,â said Caitlin, storming into her sisterâs room the next morning without bothering to knock.
âCaitlin?â Kellina sat up in bed, lighting a candle, blinking and looking toward the door. Nash was sleeping on his stomach next to her, his arm hanging off the side of the bed. His head was to the side and he was snoring very loudly. âWhat are ye doinâ in here? Itâs noâ even first light yet.â
âWe need to leave, Sister. This is place is haunted, and my betrothed is naught but a black-hearted deceiver who wants me to die.â
Robena was on the bed between Nash and Kellina, and started crying.
âNow ye made the baby cry,â scolded Kellina. âGo back to bed and weâll talk about this in the morninâ.â
âIt is morninâ,â she stated, hurrying over to the window and ripping open the shutter so her sister could see the first rays of the rising sun on the horizon. A cold breeze blew in, and Robena cried louder.
âWhat is the matter with ye?â Kellina ran to the window and closed the shutter. âWeâre all goinâ to catch our deaths from the cold.â
âIf we dinna leave here, I will die. That is, as soon as I marry Ian.â
âStop beinâ so dramatic. Heâs a handsome man and yeâll enjoy beinâ married if ye just give it a chance.â Kellina picked up her daughter, rocking her in her arms to comfort her and put her back to sleep. Nash smelled like whisky, and showed no signs of waking up anytime soon.
âKellina, ye dinna understand. Last night I saw two ghosts.â
âNoâ with the ghosts again. Please,â said Kellina, rolling her eyes. She paced back and forth, rocking Robena.
âNay, itâs true, I tell ye. Ian even admitted it. There is a curse in his family and every first-born male MacBain from the male side who gets married is dead within two years if they are noâ really in love.â
âWhat are ye talkinâ about?â asked Kellina as the door opened and Matilda rushed in with a crying Bram in her arms.
âKellina, something scared Bram and he will not stop crying,â said Matilda.
âMatilda, Iâm sorry, but I have problems of my own. Canna ye ask North to help ye?â asked Kellina.
âI cannot wake him. He drank too much Mountain Magic.â She looked over at Nash, snoring on the bed. âI see you have the same trouble with Nash as well.â
Robena started crying once again. âWell, ye might as well stay,â said Kellina. âNo one is sleepinâ anymore except for our husbands.â
âIâll bet Bram is cryinâ because he saw one of the ghosts,â Caitlin told Matilda.
âGhosts? For real?â Matilda raised a brow. âDid Robena see one too?â
âNay, my sister woke up Robena and that is why she is cryinâ,â Kellina told her. âIâm sure all her racket is really what woke Bram as well.â
âWhy doesna anyone believe me?â Feeling exhausted and all alone, Caitlin collapsed atop the chair. Then the sound of bagpipes was heard from the garden. Caitlin ran back over to the window, ripping open the shutter and looking out.
