"I don't like surprises....so show yourself! Because you will not like what I do if I have to hunt you down!" I said as I called out to the darkness.
I began wondering if this was such a good idea. Now I have two to watch and neither one has earned my trust yet. I don't give that out easily...you have to earn it. I have been burned one too many times.
At that moment I heard the whistling of the dagger as it flew past me and then I heard Meghan cry out, "Behind you!". I spun around with my cutlass at the ready and saw a female with a scarf tied around her head. The dagger landed between her feet and I heard the sharp intake of her breath at how close the dagger had came. She looked up at me with eyes widened in surprise.
"Who are you and why do you skulk about in the darkness?" I asked.
I heard Meghan as she walked to stand at my side, "I know who she is! She is my husband's sister! Probably spying on me as she always does!"
I turned to look at Meghan and said, "You came here to meet me knowing that you have a spy in your midst?".
"Well, I thought I had lost her at the docks. I promise you I did not know Jane would go this far!" Meghan pleaded.
"Well, you didn't lose her at the docks and she has come this far! Now what am I supposed to do with her?" I asked Meghan quite sarcastically.
"Oh, I know what I would like to do to her!" Meghan retorted as her eyes narrowed while looking at Jane.
My eyes looked to the heavens above and I just shook my head.
"Both of you....now....go sit by the fire so I can think this through!" I ordered.
Jane and Meghan went to the fire to sit and watched me warily as I began to pace on the opposite side. I cannot believe the situation I have gotten myself into now. I not only have the Master's wife....I now have his sister! If he didn't want my head before....he will now!
