" Wasnt she that woman we had, rumours of, a psychic who leers customers into her inn and murders them " Darcy said.
" I think so whatever we shouldn't stop in anywere now " Percy said.
After some time the voice of horseman could be heard. " The wheels have broken sir and we are in middle of the forests now " he said breathlessly.
Darcy exclaimed " what are we, going to do now? " " Its okay dont worry the horseman will fix the wheel " their father said. " Its so cold out here and i am shivering. Percy just lets go inside and sit in the carriage. "
From distance howling of a wolf could be heard. " Isn't that an wild animal, now what are we going to do " Percy said.
" Girls dont worry just go and sit inside the carriage we will handle this " their father said as he removed a cigar to smoke.
Inside Percy removed her novel to read. " Seriously are you in the mood to read.. I knew we shouldnt have come only at this time. Daytime travel was better. " Percy said. " But our uncle wanted us to come as soon as possible Percy " Darcy told her.
" What if that wolf or some bandit comes here. After that inn incident iam having doubts " Percy said.
" Im worried about father and the horseman outside. And look at her how peaceful shes sleeping " tthe said looking at their maid who was, fast asleep all along.
Suddenly their father was shouting from outside something. " Now what was that " said Darcy with a jerk.
