Chapter 44
"Amelia, can you please explain what just happened? What were you saying about Killian Bune? Did you see him back there?"
"No, I heard him in my head. I felt too real for it to be a misunderstanding, grandmother. I don’t know how to explain it," Amelia leaned back in her seat.
Margaret and Amelia were successfully taken back to the carriage and on their way back to Margaret’s home.
"Say what happened and we can try to make sense of it together. I won’t judge you, child," said Margaret. She wanted to know what made Amelia suddenly want to leave when they were about to have fun with the townspeople.
"I heard a voice like a person was right over my shoulder. The voice felt familiar but I had no idea where I heard it from. Then, I heard it again and it was as if it was in my head. I don’t want to think I am going crazy but how could I be hearing Killian Bune in my head, grandmother? It does not make any sense."
"Your body could still be shaken up from the last time you left the castle walls. This is my fault, Amelia. I should not have taken you from the castle when you did not want to. I’m sorry," Margaret apologized.
"I came here on my own two feet, grandmother. It is not your fault, grandmother. It felt so real inside of my head. There has to be an explanation behind all of this. I’ve heard people from the north sometimes practice witchcraft. What if Killian was back there and that is how he got inside of my head? If this is true, he is awfully close to the castle, grandmother. I must return and warn them."
"But this is only a theory I have. No one would believe Killian is here unless I claim to have seen him. I have a bad feeling about the next couple of days, grandmother. Something bad will happen and I don’t think there is anything to stop it from happening. I must return to the castle to know what is happening with our search for Killian. That is more important than having fun," Amelia said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
She wished to have fun with Margaret but other things that needed her attention.
