The beach was narrow here, but Steil and Neely could still see the prints as they followed them in the dampening sand. They followed them until they stopped at another rock outcropping where the cliffs began. The sand here was getting wetter and wetter, making walking hard as the lapping tide came in and out.

Steil stopped and looked around. If one could get around the rock outcropping at low tide he knew they would be under the cliffs where Neely’s cottage was, somewhere down the hill from Brough Castle.

He studied the area. It was too narrow for a horse and man now. At low tide it would be a squeeze. Now though, the tide was coming in more and more. Steil looked at the ground, searching all around him. The hoofprints had disappeared. Had they been washed away with the tide?

“I dinnae understand where the mon and horse could have come from,” Neely said, deep in thought as she too studied the ground for footprints, hoofprints, anything. But nothing was left. “We need to come back at low tide and search again.”

The sand beneath their feet softened and began to shift as the waves lapped at their boots.

The tide was coming in fully now.

“Sards! We’ll be swimming again if we dinnae find those prints soon,” he said with a frown as he continued to look at the sand.

“Steil!” Neely said his name as the water deepened. “Greysteil!” she called again as she started stepping up onto the rocks, out of the range of the waves.

He ignored her and kept looking, walking rapidly back and forth in the narrow space between the rocky cliffs and the sea. The water was above the ankles of his boots.

Steil looked at the sand and water and snarled angrily as a larger wave hit at his knees and smashed into the rocks, almost taking him with it.

“The tide,” Neely shouted as she made her way further up the rocks. “Come, hurry! We are too late.”
