Nate retreated faster. He bumped into the table and shifted to dash around to the other side to put the table between him and Philberta. But she was too fast. A needle sliced into his arm. She raised her other arm to stab him in the face. That was when he drove the bowie into her chest, clear to the hilt. Philberta gasped, and threw her head back. The gasp became a gurgle as Nate twisted the blade, severing her heartstrings.
Philberta looked at him and the light of insanity faded from her eyes. Or so Nate thought until she said, “Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep.” And then she was gone.
Nate pulled the bowie out and stepped back. Suddenly Tyne was there, throwing her arms around his legs and crying into his buckskins. “She’s gone,” Nate said. “It’s all right.” But it would never be completely all right for either of them, ever again.
Aunt Aggie cleared her throat. “When you two are ready, I am tired of sitting in this chair.”
Nate picked up Tyne and carried her over. A few strokes and the deed was done. Aggie took the girl in her arms and held her close, and together they walked out of the cabin into the clear bright light of day.
