There you are, said Ylandra lightly. I wondered where youd got to. You missed the evening meal, but there might be some left, the most wonderful rabbit dish with rosemary and— We always had to do bowls of fruit at school, said Samaras mother, delivering the first meal from the steamy kitchen. Fitting in with the rest of her family, she too wore her uniform from the day; black skirt and white blouse. Fancy for working on a checkout at the supermarket eight hours a day. A dishtowel was slung over her shoulder. She placed the serving of lasagne and vegetables in front of her husband. He reached for the knife and fork perched on the side. Every year in art. Bowl of fruit. Apples. Oranges. Always a banana on the side. I was getting there. It was me he wanted all along. The others were, I think, practice runs of a sort. A tortured mind will accept things as truth, even though they may not be true. Once hed broken them and they would kill for him, he moved on to the next one. There were small inconsistencies, so he was trying different things and seeing how long it took to break different personalities and women from different lifestyles. I bowed my head. Because I was a cop, he probably knew it would take longer with me. After he kidnapped me, the killing stopped. He never intended to kill me. He wanted me to join him and be like him. He wanted a family. The sect knife punched deep into his stomach and his face turned white, his eyes wide. Blue eyes. He had blue eyes, this man... this boy. Clean shaven, a soldier probably. With blue eyes. Cos she thinks shes all that, doesnt she? shrugs Violet. Like shes something special. The wolf called again. No. Rivers?Youre Joshua?

I finished the second glass as I recited the events of the day.Browne said hed have someone drop off the information on the missing girl. That has to be our priority, Max. We have to find her. I reached for the bottle. Elrik, she sniffs, looking down at her feet. It was like we got high on him. It was the most grown-up thing Id ever done. And Freya was there so we knew it would be okay. She was older than us, or seemed it at least. She knew how to look after herself. So when she drank from the bottle we thought it would be okay. I swear, I dont remember anything properly after that – just shapes and sounds and that smell: all rusty and wet. Its all just a dream until I’m waking up in my own bed and Daddy’s holding my hand and telling me it’s over and never to think about it again. And that’s what I tried to do. I got bored, said Samara. And there was nothing in there I liked. My wife, if youll have me. Shed seen him hurt before. Shed seen him tortured, battered, in agony. But shed never seen him vulnerable before. Its been a Hellish summer. The torrent didnt let up from June through to August, turning the sun-bleached fields of golden hay into mile after mile of ruined earth. A whole years harvest has been destroyed and the rivers have swollen so high that there is talk of redrawing maps. A farmer in the Eden valley reported maggots eating into the living flesh of a whole herd of Swaledales; the meat beneath the wool as rancid as the ground on which they feed. In times gone by, the farmers in Borrowdale might have bunched their fists at the heavens, demanding mercy after the ceaseless onslaught.Earlier still, there might have been sacrifices. Ceremonies with bone-handle knives and virgins dressed in white. Eve knows there will be violence tonight. Farmers have burned their crops – bundles the green-topped bales of useless hay into stinking feathery oblongs and thrown petrol and flame upon the whole fetid lot. You two have a place to stay?.
