It felt as though my entire world was at the brink of complete destruction. I wanted to believe that everything happening was all a dream, some stupid nightmare. But the more I tried to deny it, the harder reality struck. My wife had been attacked by some villagers on her way to the local market. They had accused her of being affiliated with witches, and they had harassed and left her at the brink of death.
She was already at the hospital, but I had a feeling that the people who had attacked her were not done. They were clearly not after my wife specifically, but the entire Ironclaw family. These people were clearly not supporters of witchcraft, nor did they want Hayley to be queen. And since they couldn't get to her, they had begun to attack us instead.
