Part 9
Molly had told her that Tully was in his hut...but why had Tully not come to her himself?, that seemed a bit strange..she ignored it...if it was about Connor, maybe he knew something as well. When she entered it, it seemed too quiet...thatÕs when she noticed he had been tied up...
-Tully?- said Cat. walking towards him, and as she did she felt a sharp blow to her head and fell to the ground.
When she woke up, her hands had been tied , she was back to back with Tully who was still knocked out cold. -Tully?- she whispered..but he didn't respond. Her head was throbbing and she could only see blurry images...everything still seemed too quiet. If she could only get the dagger in her boot, it wouldn't be so bad...she bent her legs towards her, twisting to try and free herself, but it proved too difficult.
-I wouldn't try anything if I were you.- said Molly appearing from the darkness..she went over and leaned over Catlin, taking the dagger..
-What are you doing Molly?- asked Cat.
Molly kept silent and she checked on Tully....-He's still out.- she said to herself.
-Molly? What is going on...?- asked Cat. more persitently than before. Molly gave her a sad look, as if she was being forced to do what she had done, but before she could respond to Catlin, Ethaen walked in. He cut the rope that united Tully's and Catlin's hands together and lifted her up...Tully's body thumping as it hit the ground. He led her outside and tied her up against a tree... -Where are all the people?- she asked.
-Gone.- said Ethaen walking back into Tully's hut. He dragged him out and Tully was barely awake..he struggled for a little while, still weak from the blow..and then he saw Catlin, giving a soft groan of discomfort and pain. Tully was tied facing the opposite direction of Catlin.
-We are followers of Longinus..we have chosen him for a better future for this island and for this people.- said Ethaen.
Catlin looked at her in surprise. Molly turned away.
-He's a monster, you won't have a future with him.- said Tully squirming. Ethaen looked at him and punched him in the stomach.
-Unless you prefer pain, I suggest you shut your mouth.- said Ethaen.
Ethaen walked over to Catlin and stood close..she could feel him breathe on her...the very smell of him made her sick, she spat on him...-Get away from me!- she yelled.
Disgusted by her actions...Ethaen back slapped her...Tully could not see anything, but he could hear..-Stay away from her!- he yelled.
Ethaen walked away...Molly looked at Tully, "It wasn't meant to be this way....I'm sorry." she said.
-Molly!- Yelled Ethaen..-Don't talk to them...take this torch and light this damned place.- he ordered her.
-And leave them tied?- she asked innocently. Ethaen shot a look at her, answering her without words, -But they could die.-
-That is the point.- said Ethaen mounting his horse as he waited for Molly..she started to light every hut on fire.
-Molly, you don't have to do this.- said Tully
-I have no choice..- she answered quickly as she threw the torch near by them. Running over to Ethaen and mounting the horse, riding away with him.
Catlin started to cough from the smoke. Then, you could hear it....the people...some of them had been inside the huts when they had begun to burn....they had put the people inside the huts....you could hear the screams and coughs. -jesus Tully...there are people trapped inside!- shouted Catlin.
-Try taking shorter breaths.- says Tully coughing himself. -If we could only be closer to the ground, we might be able to get loose...-
-Moving around makes it worse.- said Catlin half annoyed that she was in the situation. -We have to help them....-
-Being closer to the ground will help us breathe.- He said trying to lower himself,..trying to set himself free from the tree he was binded to.
-Tully.- said Catlin emotionless -Jesus help us- whispered Catlin ...they both knew they were going to die and they waited for their last breath.
