[Cat Lyxen]

---

Cat smelled grass and felt a breeze on her skin. As she slowly opened her eyes, blinking from the sting of bright light, she realized she was lying in a field.
Rising to her knees and looking around, questions flooded her mind. Where was she? How had she gotten there? She started looking for clues around where she was lying, a piece of rope on the ground, the smell of burlap around her face and bruising on her wrists.
She looked to the west and saw the water then in the distance she could see the abbey. She was home in Yew. She breathed a sigh of relief.
She sat on her knees in the grass trying to remember. The last thing she could remember clearly was Nightshade, Aulbrey and herself had been loading barrels onto a ship.
She squeezed her eyes shut as the memories flooded into her mind’s eye.
** A man in a brown robe grabbed her from behind as she was setting a barrel in place. He held something over her face and everything went dark.
When she woke, she smelled fish and something dank she couldn’t name. She sat up and tried to focus her eyes. It was dark but she never had any trouble seeing in the dark. She was in the hull of a ship. She could feel the sway of the waves lapping at the sides. She saw other people but they were covered by masks.
She started to scream. She screamed for help but no one had answered. **

Cat rose from the ground and began to walk slowly to the abbey, looking around her for signs of pursuit.
As she made it to the abbey doors and stumbled inside, she saw Chandra coming towards her with a worried look on her face. Chandra didn’t ask questions, she simply wrapped Cat in a warm blanket, sat her by the fire and gathered food and drink. Cat asked one question of Chandra, “What day is this?” When Chandra answered her, Cat looked at her in shock and whispered, “I’ve been gone for over a month”
