The Amazon and her Granddaughter Ch. 03

... than fervent worshippers. The younger woman (who looked much older) sank back into her pillows, panting as if giving his name had been exhausting. Katarinka held her hand softly and waited for her to speak again and say more. It took a few minutes for Yulianna to regain her strength enough to talk again, "Stop...the...wedding..."

"I will," said Katarinka.

The other woman gripped at her hand, putting all her remaining force into it -- which wasn't much, "She... is...next... death...mark...on...her...inheritance."

For a moment Katarinka almost panicked, was the witch there at the moment, pulling the life out of the teen as she lay in her bed? Then she forced herself to calm down and think, no, she had time. The death mark worked slowly, that was the point, so that those who didn't know thought it was a natural disease or illness, and Aina had been fully fit that evening. Anyway, she needed to live long enough for the wedding... though perhaps not long after. "Who is the witch?" she asked.

There was no sign of Yulianna, which was no surprise and Hugh was talking to one of the older maids in front of the table as she arrived. He gave a curt nod but otherwise ignored her, and she returned the gesture, whilst inwardly wanting to gut and disembowel him. But she doubted that would save Aina, she couldn't fight the entire household and even if she claimed he had paid witches to murder his wife and was soon going to the same for his step-daughter she knew no one would believe the word of a wandering Amazon warrior over a wealthy merchant and landowner. Aina herself was sitting at the table, noticeably brightening as she saw her Grandmom. Katarinka gave her a smile of greeting and threaded her way past the maids carrying food and drink to the tables to go sit with her on the top one.

"Good morning," Katarinka forced herself to be cheerful and not to let on that she had hardly slept in the night.
