Excerpt
He dozed and dreamed of Flora in
the emerald gown again. Now her waist-length hair matched the deep red color of
the large ruby hanging from a gold chain. The ruby and gold glinted in shards
of green light flashing around her and in her eyes. How lovely she appeared,
with flawless white skin, ruby red hair, and eyes to match the emerald gown.
Gavin’s heart near burst with her beauty. While he watched, Flora removed the
ruby from her neck, dipped the stone three times in a crystal goblet of clear
water. The water turned red as the ruby.
She held the goblet out to him.
“Take this and drink. The ruby’s water will drive the evil away and make you
weel.”
“Aye. I desire to be well.” Gavin
reached for the beautiful crystal chalice now filled with red water.
Just as his hand touched the
chalice, a large boot kicked his foot. Flora disappeared with the red, healing
water. Gavin’s eyes popped open. He remained still, grabbing the sgian dubh from his boot with one hand
and the pistol from his belt with the other.
