“NO!” THISBE’S EYES flew open. She was still for a moment, letting the world around her settle into reality once again.

There had been no pain this time, but the nightmare had been even more frightening. Her stomach roiled as she remembered the stench, the hatred that filled the air, her own helplessness to stop the horror unfolding before her eyes.

Her throat was raw and dry. She slipped out of bed and poured herself a glass of water from the pitcher. She drank it down thirstily and sank onto the chair, heedless of the chill in the air. Another mad dream.

At least this one was easy to explain. She’d gone to bed in a turmoil, heartsick over Desmond’s betrayal, her mind filled with his story of Anne Ballew and her death, burned at the stake as a witch. It was no wonder her nightmare had been of just such a scene. It was reasonable. Awful but understandable. It hadn’t been real. Only a nightmare.

Still...that didn’t explain why had she dreamed of someone burning at the stake weeks ago, before she’d even heard of Anne Ballew.

Thisbe shivered. No. That was too mad. She could not think about that tonight. She crawled back into bed and pulled the covers up to her head.
