Old Wounds

Chapter One

Dark of the Moon

Monday, October 3

"Bloody hell!"

The three dogs raised their heads, startled by the vehemence of Elizabeth's unexpected outburst. Their morning reverie disturbed, they looked at one another as if considering abandoning the sun-warmed porch for more peaceful surroundings. But when no further words, angry or otherwise, were forthcoming, heads sank back to outstretched paws and the three resumed their private contemplations.

Elizabeth Goodweather sat on her front porch, staring unseeing at the distant Blue Ridge Mountains that disappeared into ever-hazier rows along the eastern horizon. She was blind to the nearby wooded slopes with their first gildings of copper and gold, oblivious to the clear blue sky marked only by a pair of red-tailed hawks riding the cool autumn currents, and deaf to the birds' shrill, descending calls. The breakfast dishes in the kitchen behind her were still unwashed; the mug of coffee she held had grown cold without being tasted. She sat motionless but her mind whirled in tumult--a congregation of seething thoughts, feelings, and desires, all unresolved.

Two days ago she had been on the verge of . . . on the verge of what, Elizabeth? Phillip asked if I was still grieving for Sam, if I would ever let someone else into my life. And I said something really profound about being willing to take a chance. And I was . . . I am . . . but then, just then . . . Oh, bloody hell!

But at just that exquisitely crucial moment, Rosemary had called. Her brilliant, reliable, sensible older daughter. Assistant professor of English at UNC-Chapel Hill and not yet thirty, Rosemary had been writing a story based on the disappearance of a childhood friend almost twenty years ago. And in the writing, something let loose. All those years that she wouldn't talk about Maythorn . . . and then Saturday . . . oh, god, it was awful to hear Rosie so . . . so unhinged.

"Mum!" Her daughter had whispered, sounding more like the ten-year-old she had been than the self-assured academic she had become. "Mum! I have to find out what really happened to Maythorn."

Rosemary had been all but incoherent, babbling about her lost friend, about memories that had resurfaced . . . and Maythorn's granny and something called the Looker Stone . . . and what was the really weird-sounding thing? . . . the Booger Dance? Whatever the hell that is.

Maythorn Mullins, the child of a neighboring family, had been Rosemary's friend--she's my best friend, Mum, and she's my blood twin! We were both born on January 11, 1976, and we both have brown eyes and we are exactly the same tall! We cut our fingers and swapped blood and now we're blood twins! The pair had been almost inseparable for two idyllic years. Then had come the Halloween of 1986 and with it the disappearance of Maythorn from her family's home.

A massive search through the hollows and coves of Ridley Branch and adjoining areas had revealed nothing. Some believed that the child had run away--there were whispers of an unhappy family situation. Others were sure that a kidnapping had been attempted and had somehow gone wrong. Still others shook their heads. They swore that the child was somewhere on the mountain--dead or alive.

But as a weary Sam had said to Elizabeth, on returning from the steep slopes and thickets of
