‘Is Evaine here?’ Morac asked, panicking as much as everyone else.

Meena nodded. ‘In the hall, with Eadmund Skalleson.’

Morac wondered what would happen when Eadmund found out what Jaeger had done to Evaine, but in the meantime, the more pressing problem was what Draguta would do to all of them. He turned to Morana who sat helplessly on her chair, unable to help them or herself.

‘There is nothing you can do now,’ Else said, attempting to sound calm, but feeling her heart jumping about wildly. ‘Except, perhaps, think of how to be useful.’

Meena swallowed, trying to stop herself from tapping her head.

‘Draguta is a lady. A queen. A grand witch. Surely she does not want to do her own scraping about? Digging out plants and grinding potions?’ Else muttered, thinking quickly. ‘She needs people to help her, doesn’t she? Like you told her in that dream. To do all those things she doesn’t want to do herself. Skinning animals? Cutting up the poor creatures? All that blood...’ Else’s imagination was running away with her.

The thought of helping Draguta again made Meena shake all over. She glanced at Morana who she could almost feel trying to burst out of her prison. She looked so pathetic that it was easy to feel sorry for her, but Meena forced herself to remember how evil Morana was as well.

Yet, with Draguta back, she would soon be dead.

Morana blinked in desperation, pleading with her eye.

Pleading to be set free.

Else squeezed Meena’s hand. ‘You’re a dreamer. Useful to Draguta. She will see the wisdom in keeping you alive, don’t worry.’

Morac looked at his blinking sister and turned to the door. ‘Meena, why don’t you come with me? We can face her together, and I need to make sure Evaine is alright.’

Meena nodded reluctantly, shivers rippling through her body like ice-cold waves.
