They were mounted on Hugh’s horse, the Beast. She could feel its powerful energy underneath her. She’d lost more time.

“They won’t open the gate,” Hugh spat in frustration, and the Beast danced in the packed dirt of the courtyard between the castle’s entrance and wall.

She felt the moment her mother realized that Hugh was trying to take her from the castle; perhaps it was that energy that had woken her again.

“They’re coming,” she whispered to Hugh, and she felt him reach for his sword. He was going to fight, and if he didn’t first die at her uncle’s hand, her mother would rip his mind asunder. All because he was obligated to protect her. All because, right or utterly wrong, she’d asked for his help.

Theo gathered the pieces of power that were scattered throughout the chaos of her mind. She cobbled this energy into a pulsing ball of light. Then, with the last bit of will she had, she threw this energy at the gates.

The gates shattered. She’d broken them into hundreds of millions of slivers of wood and steel that blasted into the gathered crowd, who flung their arms up to shield their faces. She fleetingly hoped she hadn’t hurt anyone.

Hugh didn’t even bother to question that she could shatter gates meant to withstand armies with her mind. The Beast surged forward beyond the gates in what seemed to be a single leap. She felt the magic then, the magic of Hugh’s horse, and understood that no one, not Dougal and his army, and not even her mother and her machinations, could catch them while they rode this magical animal masquerading as a common stallion.

And that was fine with her. So, when the darkness engulfed her a third time, she welcomed it, like she would welcome a soft blanket, or a hot bath, or hot chocolate. This was not the time to worry and think. She was sure Hugh was doing enough of that for both of them … so she succumbed.

And slept.
