She had planned to tell time with the sun’s position, but forgot she had no idea how to do that. Katherine managed to steal a couple of hours of sleep without dreaming, before the sound of car doors slamming and the sudden swell of heartbeats in her immediate vicinity woke her.

Katherine rose and stretched her tight muscles before slipping from the shed. She hovered near the building, watching as nearly the whole town gathered near a plot halfway across the cemetery.

She looked up and saw several people were walking too close for her comfort. Katherine ducked around the side of the shed and searched for the sunglasses in her coat pocket. After putting them on and hiding her hair and as much of her face as possible under the cloche, she slipped back around the shed to watch the service from a distance.

Her newly improved vision aided her in seeing just one coffin near a mound of dirt covered by a blue tarp. She could make out the droning words of the Episcopalian minister as he said a final blessing for Sara, but tuned him out. Her gaze remained locked on the white coffin, as she envisioned the white dress Sara had bought for the Christmas dance during their last shopping trip into New York City, just a few days before the carnival.

Her focus shifted at the sound of someone breathing nearby. She jerked her head up and saw a man in a dark suit staring at her. His fedora was pulled low over his brow and he wore dark glasses that hid his eyes and obscured his expression. Katherine ducked her head and took a step away. When she looked back, he was following her, so she broke into a run.

She ran into the street without looking and screamed when a black Rolls-Royce stopped inches from her. Katherine’s sluggish heartbeat pounded in her ears, and she had barely regained her breath when the door opened and Mercy leaned out enough to see her.

“Get in,” she said in a crisp voice. “You’ve stayed away long enough.”

Katherine cast a glance over her shoulder at the man who had paused at the side of the road, then back at Mercy. It was clear that her immediate future lay with Mercy, so she walked to the passenger side and slid inside. Mercy pulled away quickly, and Katherine turned her head back in the direction of the man in the dark suit. Her head remained turned in his direction until he was out of view. For a moment, she felt safe, before remembering who sat beside her in the driver’s seat. She wondered what her punishment would be for escaping. Unlike her name, Mercy was not a forgiving woman.
