The Melungeon Witchâs Gold
Sheriff Daniel Praeger parked his Model T in front of the yellow and gray bungalow with the small sign âBaileâs Clinicâ hanging from the portico overhead. He looked over at his companion and said, âYou sure youâre up for this?â
Cephea Collins smiled at him. âI seen the living, the dying and everything in-between. Donât you be worrying about me. Letâs go take a gander at this mystery man of yours.â
Heâd had second thoughts on the way over, wondering if he was insane for dragging the young woman into yet another criminal case. Or at least, he guessed it was a criminal case, since most people didnât end up with arrows in them.
Daniel hopped out of the car and helped Cephea out of the passenger side. Sheâd wanted to bring along some of the herbal potions from her cabin, but heâd advised against it. Doc Baile was a competent and hardworking physician, but Daniel felt sure heâd be none too pleased to have the Melungeon healer treading in his medical sandbox.
Daniel was getting more and more irritated at the prejudice heâd encountered since meeting Cephea. Yes, the Melungeons had almost mystical origins, so mystical no one knew exactly where theyâd come from. The olive skin and dark hair with the bright blue eyes was enough to start up the whispers, but Cepheaâs legendary ability to heal people just added more fodder for those whispers.
He shook off his disgust long enough to guide Cephea through the door to the back room where the Doc kept a room for his sickest patients. He almost wanted to hold his nose at the smell, a mixture of sulphur, bleach, and vinegar. The sight that greeted them was about what Daniel had expected, but he gave Cephea a quick glance to make sure she was okay.
Cephea had that little ridge above her brow she got when looking at someone with sympathy. She clucked her tongue and went to the unconscious patientâs side. The man was lying on his back, his exposed skin yellowish and pale. Doc Baile didnât look up as he prepared to change the bandage on the manâs chest.
Daniel asked, âHowâs he doing?â
Doc Baile, never a man for niceties, grumbled out, âGreat, for a man whoâs got one foot in the grave. Iâm surprised heâs still here, quite frankly. Must be as stubborn as you are, Daniel.â
âIâm not stubborn. Iâm dogged.â
Baile shook his head. âWell then, use some of that doggedness and hand me that jar of salve.â
Daniel grabbed the jar the Doc had indicated and passed it over as he said, âWouldnât think one arrow could cause a man to be at deathâs door.â
âNot much blood, either. Even before I removed the arrow.â
Cephea moved closer to the bed and pointed to a spot on the manâs abdomen. âThat where it went in? That arrow?â
Doc Baile seemed to notice her for the first time and frowned. âI guess the wound gave it away, hmm?â
Cephea didnât seem to notice the sarcasm.
