The afternoon sun peaked through the tree tops as the cab weaved its way down the winding country lane toward Tara’s house. Brandon took in the beauty of the old estate as he rolled down the window for a better look.  The cool breeze felt good on his throbbing head. He raised his hand to the bandage the hospital secured before discharging him.  It gave him the appearance of a battle worn soldier. The tender bump was reduced considerably but it still protruded out amongst the soft gauze.  

He scowled. He had no recollection of how he was injured, no matter how hard he tried. He remembered waiting impatiently in the clearing for Tara.  The next thing he remembered was waking up in the hospital with Tara next to him talking to a member of the hospital staff.  As hard as he tried, he could recall no more. As the cab turned up the drive, he smiled to see his black gelding race through the paddock with Tara’s chestnut mare at his heels.&nbs

    The howling was closer and ear piercing. Brandon went to the window and jumped back when he found himself face to face with Dominic. Dominic’s eyes burned in the pre-dawn night, reflecting the anger and rage that welled within him.“Damn!” Brandon shouted as he backed off.Dominic pressed his face against the glass, accentuating his rage. Tara cringed to think she actually thought she could love this man. Looking at him now, she felt noting but revulsion. She hurried to the window and closed the curtains.“I can see the pink of dawn over the trees,” she said worriedly.Something needed to be done soon. Maggie grabbed her book of spells again and quickly leafed through the pages. Without a moment’s hesitation, Tara joined her. Dominic resumed pounding on the door and shouting for her to come out. Every nerve in the room was worn thin as the tension mounted.

    Tara stretched her body across her bed as she stared at the antique lace canopy above. Frustration mixed with panic filled every fiber of her being. Was Maggie telling the truth? Why couldn’t she remember being drugged by Dominic? What made Maggie think he was a demon?She paced around the room, unsure of what to do next. She had to see Dominic. She needed to talk to him and straighten things out. If he’d just sit down with Maggie and let her get to know him, then Maggie would be able to see what a wonderful man he really was. Yes, that was it. She would go to Dominic and have him straighten things out with Maggie. She threw on a pair of jeans and a sweater, ran a comb through her hair, and headed downstairs.As she closed the door behind her, the cool night air filled her lungs. Brilliant stars surrounded the full moon, lighting up the night for ample visibility. She walked past the den and peered in the window.&nb

    Tara paced back and forth the full length of her porch while wringing her hands. Dennis’ argument with Dominic was so severe. She hadn’t expected such a violent reaction from her brother when she told him she loved Dominic and he asked her to marry him. She didn’t understand. Dennis’ desire for her happiness over the years was a sincere desire, so why would he be so against it?She wrestled with her thoughts. His concern that she didn’t know much about Dominic had a ring of truth to it. She’d never even been to his home. In fact, she really hadn’t been anywhere with him except her home and that one drive to the hospital when Brandon was injured, but it didn’t matter. She loved him, and she just knew they were meant to be together. Not everyone courted the same way. Hadn’t he heard of love at first sight? His paranoia was unfounded. He had to get used to it. He had to.

    Dominic’s broad smile greeted Tara when she pulled the door open. Her childlike look of delighted surprise tugged at him in earnest. It took all his reserve to refrain from taking her in his arms and holding her close. Firelight curls hung in disarray around her face and her flushed cheeks accentuated the blue in her oval eyes. They were so rich and deep he could see his reflection in them.She was acutely aware of her appearance. Not anticipating company, she dedicated her day to fixing the crack in the wall in the bathroom that Brandon had reported. It wasn’t going as well as she’d hoped. She was actually standing back debating about the prospect of calling in a professional when she heard Dominic’s knock on the door. Dennis had suggested it several times and this was a time where she was sorry she hadn’t listened.“Did I interrupt something?” he questioned after surveying her boldly.“I’m making the

    Beams of moonlight trickled through the shutters that Brandon threw open. He lifted the window to let in the night air. From the staleness of the room, he could tell that it was closed up for quite some time. He stood in the dark and watched moonlit shadows dancing across the furnishings.He had a sense of not being alone. The hair on the back of his neck was on end and a shiver ran up his spine. He wondered if it was such a good idea to stay after all. Things were different. He felt a change about the property as soon as he got out of the cab. It was a feeling he hadn’t felt in a long time; a sense of danger, but of what? He sensed it was more than the evil looking creature Maggie killed, although he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.A soft scratching on his door caught his attention. With graceful, silent strides he made his way from the window to the door and paused with his ear to the wood.
