Megan was sleeping. A peaceful, dreamless sleep.

Martha watched her from the doorway, smiling. She was such a beautiful girl. Such a kind spirit, a gentle soul.

Ah… well, life changed things like that.

But still…

Megan breathed in easily, exhaled softly. Hair draped over her face, lovely long fingers splayed out over the pillow.

Martha felt fiercely protective of the stunning young beauty on the bed.

“I will never let one speck of injury come to that perfect young body, my dear!” she whispered softly from the doorway. She closed the door. Megan would sleep peacefully for a few hours, thanks to Martha’s simple herbal tea. She would have the rest that she needed. In Martha’s home, all of her sweet youthfulness and beauty would be guarded—Martha felt like an old bulldog herself, but that was that. She smiled, glad that the girl had come to her.

She headed for her kitchen, then snorted out loud. “Wiccans!”

That Morwenna and her silly husband, Joseph, with his ridiculous, dyed black hair!

And Megan’s husband. That man might well be proving more of a menace than Martha had imagined, causing all kinds of trouble.

Not he, not anyone, was getting to young Ms. Megan. No one, Martha determined. Thus determined, she went on with her chores.

Not long after he’d hung up the phone, Finn began to question his own sanity.

By chance, surely, the book had fallen open to Bac-Dal.

And so, he had gone off the deep end.

Great. He’d made a writer and her husband think he was crazy. Grist for the mill. He hoped he wouldn’t give her too much to write about.

He’d already showered, but he decided to shower again, hoping the hot water would ease the tension in his muscles and help clear his mind.

As it sluiced over him, he felt a sense of calm. Megan had gone to Martha’s, and she would be all right there. Whether they thought he was crazy or not, he had a feeling that the couple from New Orleans might have the ability to clear away some of the nonsense—make all that was bizarre become rational.

He determined that he was going to be completely calm himself. He would greet her that evening in an entirely businesslike fashion. He wouldn’t even ask her for an explanation.

But as he lathered in a fury, he had to fight to maintain a sense of sanity and determination. He’d been told to watch out for her. In the dark. Beware the fog.

Well, that was just great, and hard to do. You never knew when the stinking fog was coming, and she wasn’t staying with him, she’d left him, so it was going to be rather hard to watch out for her.

Drying in an equal fury, he thought again that they should just get the hell out. Maybe he could talk to her that night. Megan, don’t you just hate it in those stupid horror films when teenagers stay in the woods, fooling around, when the killer comes into the woods, and hacks up teenagers who are in the woods, fooling around? I think we’re in the woods.
