CHAPTER FOURTEEN

“I told you that they were going react that way! Thea’s not stupid! She wouldn’t believe anything that would have to do with you.”

“You should have told her that you’ve had this from a year ago….or since she re-met you. That’s your fault for not convincing her.”

“Now she thinks that I’m crazy and has left me behind. She isn’t anywhere in this castle. None of them are!”

“You know that they went after the Circle of Owls, right? She believed what she read in your book. She’s going to go and try to find Penelope now.”

“So, what are we supposed to do now? Sit here and wait? Or go back to your friend the Baba Yaga and see if we can get eaten by a dragon or see if she can cause another earthquake.”

Robin sat in the room for hours, talking to the voice that was haunting her. She stared out the window, stroking the silky fur of Tinker. She had so many emotions that changed as quickly as they arrived. She was missing her friends with every being of her soul – she was enraged that Thea didn’t believe her – terrified that she may in fact be losing her mind.

“The Baba Yaga is just doing what her job is to do – protect all the creatures of the realm. She’s just trying to protect the dragons from the witches and the humans who continue to kill them for their body parts. Just because you don’t understand her, doesn’t mean that she’s doing something wrong.”

“Her hut is made from human bones! She kills people!” Robin’s voice was shrill as she responded.

“They’re killing dragons, fairies, elves and yetis. She’s protecting them….besides, she’s not a human, why would she live by the rules that the human society has put in place?”

Robin didn’t have a logical response to that. She didn’t know how the Baba Yaga was able to cause an earthquake that hit the Izotza mountain that was so far away from her hut. Perhaps she felt a connection with the Baba Yaga, as she rarely felt that she fit into the confines of human society. She always felt that it would be easier for her to only interact with a few people and stay by herself. That’s why she enjoyed staying at Thea’s cabin so much – there was just the two of them and nature around her.

The ground below the castle lightly rumbled again – this was the fourth time in the last 24 hours that the ground was shaking. Robin calmed her cat, before going around the room and picking up the few things that had fallen from their places around her room. She finally made her mind up to leave the castle on her own and try to find out why the mountain was starting to have earthquakes.

“Do you really think that you should be leaving? What if they come back?”

“They left me behind for a reason…..” Robin’s eyes started to water, but she was determined to ignore it and head out on her own.
