Chapter 9

Healing Waters

The couple arrived at Olivia’s heaven-like cavern at dusk. As Snow stepped inside the cool and sparkling-walled cave, her cares from that day seemed to drift away like the breezes in the Willows village. Mitch pulled her close and kissed her atop her head. “You can relax now, sweetheart. Everything’s going to be alright.”

While Mitch set out a blanket and their sack dinners, Snow went to the healing pool and began to undress to bathe.

Mitch’s thoughts were troubled, thinking back to the day’s earlier attack as he set out their food. “We have to be rid of this witch once and for all! This is just ridiculous being helpless to her schemes! There must be something we can do? I would say I wished we could send her back to where she came, but then I would never wish that kind of torment on your mother ... or sister,” quickly brushing away memories of his and Lily’s accidental escapade. “So I have been thinking about this and I think I’ve come up with a solution. I’m going to Maci for help.”

From the distance of the pool, his wife’s voice bore a hint of skeptical confusion, “Maci? Why Maci?”

Mitch then stood and approached the pool where his Princess was shoulder deep in the water. To Mitch’s slight dismay, it was just enough water depth to hide her body from his sight. “I want Maci’s assistance in approaching that peculiar and mysterious ‘mistress’ type person ... spirit or whatever ... that she talks about. She says this ‘being’ has some kind of power in the Willows, that she is some kind of ‘protector’ if you will. So if she’s such a ‘protector’, she needs to protect this village from that horrible witch. By the way, how are the waters? Are they helping your wounds?”

“So far, yes. I feel a little better. I’ll have to dunk my face in a minute to really tell. But Mitch, Maci has said how she and the Mistress aren’t quite on the best of terms. Maci calls her ‘evil’. And besides, what makes you think the Mistress will want to help us? If it were really a concern of hers, wouldn’t she have already intervened?”

Mitch sat by the pool’s edge and shook his head. “I don’t know, but I have to try.”

Snow then remembered Maci’s actions with Nicholas at the hut that evening and tutted, “Well, good luck dealing with her right now. She’s been acting a little ... odd ... lately.”

Distracted by the glistening of the sparkles in the cave’s walls, Mitch nodded at Snow’s words.

Snow grinned and cocked her head to one side as she watched her husband, whose attentions seemed ages away, “You know, I think this water’s healing power needs a little help. Maybe a massage here in the water would do the trick?”

Snow’s playful tone snapped Mitch’s thoughts to the here and now. At her words ... and her meaning ... he grinned. “Well, then I guess this doctor here
