Part 2
"Connor you have to eat." said Tully, extending his arm out to hand him a bowl of stew.
"No thank you Tully." said Connor looking the other way.
"Boy, you can't hide out here forever..there are people looking to you for answers." said Fergus.
Connor remained silent. Fergus's comment had annoyed him.
Tully sat next to Connor looking at him.
"Just leave me be." said Connor.
"We won't. We know how you feel Connor, we all miss her." said Tully.
"You haven't the vaguest idea of how I feel." said Connor.
"You aren't dead lad, stop acting as if you were." said Fergus.
"Maybe having the people you love die is common place to you, but not to me Fergus...." Connor stopped himself and stood up, putting distance between himself and the others.
"Don't Lad....you know that's not what I meant."
Connor sighed, "I know...I'm just...."
Tully interrupted him, "This isn't how Catlin would have wanted things to be." said Tully walking away, angry at Connor.
"What way would have she wanted it to be Tully? I'm sure she would have prefered to not have died." Said Connor angrily.
Tully turned around..."You forget everything she stood for Connor."
"Watch your mouth lad!" shouted Fergus, noticing how angered Connor was becoming.
"No Fergus, what I say is true...how long is he going to be this way...how long Connor?..you have a responsibility to your people...the ones who are still alive...Catlin would have wanted it that way...she wouldn't have wanted you to be this way, sulking..because of what? You weren't the cause of her death...you didn't kill her."
Connor had his fists clenched.
"What do you feel guilty about? We all loved her...she knew that." said Tully.
Connor lost his temper and ran towards Tully, knocking him to the ground...
"Connor!" shouted Fergus. He tried to pull him off.
"Go ahead Connor, get angry, you need that...you needed to hear the truth...what is it! Why do you act as if it was all your fault?" shouted Tully, while Connor and him fought.
Connor now had Tully pinned, "It is my fault Tully!" he shouted, he was crying now...Fergus grabbed Connor from under his arms and threw him aside..he went to Tully's aide.
"It's not you fault." said Fergus surprised.
"She would be alive if it wasn't for me...I loved her.., and that's the cause, my love killed her."
"Your love?" asked Tully confused...
Connor got himself up again...crying he walked away.
"You shouldn't have done that...what were you thinking?" asked Fergus to Tully.
"I was thinking Connor is killing himself with guilt. This may have helped." said Tully walking away as well.
Fergus was standing there alone. He sighed..."Am I going to have to do everything here?" he mumbled to himself.
"Connor you have to eat." said Tully, extending his arm out to hand him a bowl of stew.
"No thank you Tully." said Connor looking the other way.
