“Well, you’ll be hungry I suppose?”

I’m not in the least bit, but I’m certainly not going to argue with him. I attempt to look up, but it’s been dark and the lantern my abductor is holding blinds me. I can’t see much more than his boots. He drops something at my head and I flinch away. Though I’m struck by sharp pieces of something and splattered with mush, at least it’s not hot. The movement gives fresh life to the nausea, and I wretch while my captor laughs.

I don’t know how long I lay like that covered in what I can only assume is porridge and bits of broken bowl. I have no concept of time because there are no windows and no voices. It’s just me and the rats. Sometime later, he returns. The lantern and his footsteps are the only warning I have before he yanks me by my upper arms and drags along the hallway toward a light. I stumble and try to remain upright, but it’s not easy since he doesn’t slow down. As we ascend the stairs, the light gets brighter, and I have to squint because I’ve been in the dark for so long.

“Lady MacGregor, welcome to Bannock Castle.”

I look up into the eyes of my captor and remain silent. Better they believe I’m indeed Lady MacGregor. If they knew the truth, I’d be dead.

“I regret your accommodations may be less favorable than you’re used to, but if your husband is smart, then he’ll comply with our demands and you’ll be home before long. While you’re here, you will not be harmed.”

I snort in response to the vile little man. He slaps me across the face so hard I stagger backward. My ears ring, and I taste blood in my mouth.

“You’ll not be harmed, but you will be respectful. A woman should know her place. Your husband has been far too lenient with you and that son of yours. We failed to capture young Duncan, but you proved to be an easier quarry.”
