TWENTY-EIGHT

A crusading knight on a black stallion, a Templar cape with its signature red cross rising and falling behind him, was riding straight for Em as she ran for her life, trying desperately to escape his reach, breathlessly sprinting through a labyrinth of hedgerows and tangled paths. But no matter which direction she turned, the knight was always in front of her, always charging at her through a smoky white veil, the black horse’s eyes fiery points of red.

Em woke up in a fright. Gasping for breath, she recognized after a moment of terror that she was not being chased, but was in her room at the Abbey, safe in her bed.

Grabbing the book fanned out on her pillow, she chucked it on to the floor.

‘Stupid Ivanhoe.’

Simon banged on her bedroom door. ‘The dock in thirty minutes,’ he called. ‘You three are on beach clean-up for your dangerous stunt last night.’

‘Why so early?’ mumbled Em.

‘It’s not early. So if you want breakfast before you get to work, you’d better hurry. Jeannie’s not going to wait for much longer.’

Em staggered towards her bathroom, surprised that the clock was already showing 10 am. She got dressed slowly and headed for the stairs. The still-life with the modern goblet had been taken off the stair wall.

‘Where’s the painting?’ she called down to Simon.

‘Your grandpa has it,’ Simon said, looking up at her from the foyer. ‘We’ll discuss that painting and your time-hopping after you’ve cleaned up the beach. There was a storm last night, so there should be lots for you to do.’

‘Ugh!’ said Em.
