Eventually, Niall came downstairs. He looked weary and haggard. He ran his hand through his hair and puffed out his cheeks.

“How are they?” Moira asked, rushing up to his side as soon as he came to find her. Niall shook his head and wore a somber expression.

“They’re just…they’re nae looking well. Isobel is like Jamie, panting and resting. There’s something in this castle. I can feel it. Some force.” He frowned and curled his fist into a tight ball, before releasing it. “But how can I fight an enemy I cannae see? The healers are daeing their best, but they cannae dae anything tae help. At the moment all they say is that we hae tae wait and hope they’re strong enough tae pull through. But I cannae wait, Moira. I hae tae dae something. I cannae just sit by and let my people die. I cannae watch Jamie and Isobel…” He trailed off, not daring to finish the grim thought.

Moira’s heart went out to him, and she wished there was more she could do. She gnawed at her bottom lip and went over to him, clutching his hand and staring into his eyes imploringly.

Moira could feel the hurt and the anguish bristling upon his skin. The fierce love he had for his siblings was radiant. She liked to think that he would react in the same manner if she was suffering too. Even though she hated the circumstances, she liked the fact that she was seeing his true character emerge.

There had been so many suppositions and assumptions about his character because of the history that existed between their clans, but she could see the real him now, and she was thrilled with the man who was standing before her.

There was nobody else she would have rather loved, but now was not the time to tell him that because she had to put others first.

“We will get through this, Niall. I know we will. Jamie and Isobel will get better, as will everyone else. This will all pass, we just hae tae be strong for them.”

“I’m trying, Moira, I truly am,” Niall spoke quietly. He lifted his gaze, and Moira could see all the sadness in the world interred in those eyes. There were shadows on his face, and he parted his lips to exhale heavily. “It’s just sae hard. My da…he always seemed to know what tae dae. There were never any moments when he failed tae act and now I’m the laird and I feel as though I should know as well…but I’m at a loss.”

“But what can ye dae?”

“I can find the cause of this,” Niall said tersely, his hand clenched into a fist. Moira nodded, sensing the anger, but in her experience, no good decision had ever been made in anger.

“But where would ye start?”

“I dinnae know!” he raised his voice and threw up his hand. Moira was startled, and Niall immediately looked apologetic. Moira knew that his frustration was not directed at her. They had to remember that it was them against the situation rather than against each other.
