That night I dream of Nattrass. We’re fighting on the field. We struggle for hour after hour. I think it will never end, but at last I plunge Death Dealer into his heart. I stand over him as his blood leaks out into the earth. Next morning, I see the horizontal cut on my cheek. Shallow, just a couple of inches long. A dark red line of dried blood. I close my eyes. I dream again of plunging the knife into his heart.

At breakfast, Mum reaches out, touches it.

“What’s that?”

I feel the line.

“Hawthorn tree,” I say.

“Hawthorn?”

“I was hiding. I ran into the tree. A thorn got me.”

She gets her camera.
