Excerpt:
Upon
entering the room, Mackenzie rushed directly to the small crowd which had
gathered around Melissa and the corner carving table. Pushing her way to the
center of the commotion, she stopped beside Melissa. She was so focused that
she didn't hear the whisperings around her. When she finally reached Melissa,
Mackenzie exclaimed, "My goodness, Melissa. What's wrong?"
Instead
of speaking, Melissa pointed above the carving table. Mackenzie glanced up, and
lost her breath for a moment. The carver's knives were hanging in a row. The
largest knife was in its proper place, but blood dripped down the silver blade
and created a puddle on the table. Such omens could destroy happy festivities.
"What
does it mean?” One of the pages whispered.
Mackenzie
glanced around the kitchen for Adilla, but could not make out her form. Someone
had to squash the panic forming in the crowd; unfortunately, that person had to
be her. Mimicking Adilla, she clapped her hands and looked over the crowd.
"We have far too much to accomplish to worry over childhood stories. In
the excitement of the day, much has been forgotten. I'm certain that's what
happened here. Now, get back to work. I don't want Adilla to discover that many
precious minutes were wasted over a dirty knife."
As
the crowd dispersed, Mackenzie caught Squire John staring at her from the
doorway. Once people were doing as they should, she turned her attention back
to Melissa.
"I'm
sure Laura simply forgot to wash this knife." Mackenzie tried to sooth her
friend.
"Laura
would never forget." Melissa lowered her voice and leaned closer to
Mackenzie. "She knows what such a vision means."
"What
does it mean?" Squire John's voice rang clear, making Melissa squeal
again. Mackenzie waved her hand to the few who looked up, bidding them go back
to work.
Melissa's
voice broke into a husky whisper. "When a bloody knife is found hanging,
as this one, it means something disastrous is going to happen."
