Chapter 19

Thursday

Bara had the old dream again, the one that used to terrify her as a child.

She roamed her house, looking for Mother, but Mother was gone. Nobody would tell her where. She begged and cried, but they put her in a dark place. “Until you stop crying,” a woman warned. Then two men came, enormous and black against sunlight streaming behind them in the door. “They have come for the child,” the woman said. Bara turned and ran into a back room, screaming. Another man—someone she ought to recognize but didn’t—tugged her by the arm and drew her back to one of the strangers, who knelt and picked her up. She screamed and tried to get away, but he pressed her head against his shoulder and would not let her go. She was terrified she would smother. Finally she collapsed, sobbing, and he carried her away. The only difference this time was that she wore a huge heart-shaped locket that thump, thump, thumped against her chest and made it ache.
