I touched my face, and then I got out of the bed. I walked over to Shand,
and went to hug him, but he pushed me away and opened the door. He ran down
the steps, and I saw him turn right to the bar. I didn't know if I should
follow him, but after a few minutes I started down the stairs.
The people at the bar were looking at me, my face, and my dress, but I didn't care. I needed to explain everything to Shand, before it was too late. I looked around, and I saw him sitting at a table, with two empty glasses, and one half empty. Wow he drank fast, and he was going to get himself sick.
I walked over to him, and sat down across from him. I took his beer and drank some. He looked at me, and ordered two more beers. When they came, I drank mine, and before he got a chance to, I drank his other one. I grabbed his hand, and with some resistance, got him to get up. I led him out of the inn, and walked him to the woods.
"Sisters I am sorry, but he has to know." I yelled as loud as I could.
I waited a few seconds, and I knew that I had their approval. I walked into the woods, and dragged Shand behind me. After walking for a while he grabbed my arm, and turned me around.
"Damn you Angelina, where are we going? And who are the Sisters? Answer me, I want to know."
I closed my eyes and sighed. I looked back at him, and saw that he had hurt, anger and confusion, all mixed in. This wasn't a good sign, and I was scared for us both. I thought of Vagnone's words and they too frightened me. "Shand please, just come with me. If you don't like what you hear, then I will understand if you don't want to continue being married to me. Just have an open heart and mind. I want you to know that I love you, and I will always love you no matter what you decide." I held out my hand and he took it. I walked until I say the clearing, and then put my finger to my mouth. I nodded at him, and then entered the clearing. All the Sisters were gone except for Her. I walked over to her, and then let go of Shand's hand. "Angelina, you are troubled. Tell me what you saw. Tell me how you received these cuts."
