CHAPTER 13

Cameron MacLeod, was enjoying the company of the strange woman who had appeared in his castle. There was something unusual about her and the fact that he could not figure that out made her very intriguing to him. It was possible that she was magic, or a witch, but would that be so bad?

He knew the dangers, that his tanist continued to tell him was possible about this young woman. Bran considered her to be a spy or a dangerous woman. But the more time that Cameron spent taking Maria into the hall to enjoy the evening feast, the more that the people seemed to accept her. She was kind and curious and his people seemed to pick up on that, just as he had.

The past two nights he had enjoyed those evenings because he was able to walk her back to her room, where temptation continued to plague him. He wanted to kiss her, but he knew that he could not. It would not be right. She was a guest and a stranger in his lands. He did not want to seem as though he was taking advantage of the young lass.

But one thing was for certain, he was thoroughly enjoying her company and having her living at his castle.

The next morning, Hugh's mother Erin arrived. He was very glad that she had come to the castle so that she could advise Maria on what had happened to her. He also wanted to know some answers.

“Did you find any information about what could possibly be going on here?” he asked Erin as he walked her up the stairs toward Maria's room.

“I did indeed. I read some old books, and there are a few mentions of sightings of the Scathach. So I need to hear first-hand what the young lass has to say. Then I will know how it relates to what I have read and found,” she said.

“Yes, of course. Right this way. I am so glad that you have come.”

Cameron stopped in front of Maria’s door, it was just before the noon meal, and he did not know if she was walking the castle grounds or not. He knocked on the door.

“It’s Cameron. I have brought my cousin to see you, she might have some information for you,” he said loudly.

Within a moment the door opened. Looking upon her beautiful face, he almost forgot that Erin stood behind him. He found that this was happening more often every time he looked at Maria after he had not seen her for a few hours. It was as though her beauty captivated him all over again.

“Hello. Yes I remember you said something about a visitor. Please, won't you come in?” Maria invited.

“Thank you,” Erin said.

“Maria Saunders, may I introduce you to my cousin, and the mother of Hugh. She lives nearby a few miles away from the castle and is a very wise woman. I trust her and therefore I hope that you would trust her,” Cameron said as he walked into her room behind Erin and close the door.
