The news had come as a surprise. She had known there was something about the the women that had accompanied Cara, something about her past that had been hidden. She had offered Cara to speak with them, yet She had chosen to await a better opportunity instcead, hoping that the gist would start speaking of themselves. Now they had little choice anymore it seemed. Cara had found Maire to be the one that had been following her, had heard her speak even of the one who had instructed her to do so. On Dieter's authority Maids nowxstayed in her room until.they could pose some seriousquestions. It nae seemed likely that she bad ought to do with the attacks but they nae could run the risk. Besides if Maire was handling inservice of any other than Windstorm they needed to know such regardless.

**She did naught understand this...how could she be placed in confinement. After all she was only trying to protect Bhantiarna Cara! She had done just what her Lord's cousin had said to do! The family had received the missive a few weeks before the Lord and Lady had died.Nanny had received it as she always did all letters that came in, so as to keep the Lord and Lady from having to deal with small things whilst they were sick...She had ofcourse taken this missive to the Lord but He had been less than pleased with what had been said.
He had told them all to forget such rubbish and toss the parchment into the hearth at next fire.He would naught sit there and listen to his brother being slandered by such. But the Lord and Lady had died soon after and Nanny, still believing Bhantiarna Cara was naught more than a babe, had begun making plans for Her, according to what had been written in that missive...
How they had all been toldover and over and over what needed to be done and what Bhantiarna Cara had no need of knowing, after all she was naught expected to care for herself but her Husband for her. Nanny had placed her in charge of the girls so as to care for Lady Cara whilst such things as were in the missive took place..but then things had gone awry...Now they had worry of the Uncle coming for her...and SHE was locked in her room whilst the two loose lipped lasses were galavanting around downstairs able to speak all to any who need naught know anything! Her only intent now was to keep her Lady safe!**

Máire still confined in her chambers was beginning to feel closed in and abondoned now. More wild than human lass. Still questioning her place and why she was being held at all. By now she had begun to see where she had walked the path from bed to door so many times it seemed to be permanently worn into the floor now...At least she knew SHE could see it.

TDH:What right did they have to keep her here? What right did that whelp of a girl have to question her!Serve them, care for them,make them rely on you but always remember you're the one who rules them...Thats what Nanny had told her.Thats what she had said when Máire had questioned her right to disobey Tiarna when He said to burn the missive...She was in the right to make such decisions for the lass...she was Nanny...thats what she was there for wasn't it? And now she had placed Máire in her stead...and the girl was refusing to listen! Refusing to acknowledge her control over the matter...why!?

TDH: As she lay there scowling and sulking, bemoaning her fate, Máire slowly slipped off into a light slumber, beginning to dream. Standing before her was the strong, healthy scowling countenence of her beloved Tiarna. What are you doing, Máire? Ye know better...I've always been good to ye, all of ye.But I asked for loyalty in return.Proper obedience to what I asked of ye.And ye treat m'daughter, me beloved girl like this? Ye shame me lass. Ye shame me an me family. The disappointment in His eyes makes her gasp, a sound that breaks through her sleep and into the room around her.Not once does he raise his voice to her, nor his hand...something he had never done, unless delivering a well deserved handing...but the disappointment she saw there cut her deeply...But Nanny said....she began in a whimper and saw His head shake...The woman was wrong! Of a great many things, child! Take everything the witch taught ye and toss it out da window.Before its too late!...And with that the dream ends, and though she cries out for him naught to leave, the Tiarna disappears in a haze of light.

TDH: NO!! DON'T GO TIARNA...PLEASE! she cries out in her sleep as the light begins to fade, waking her with a start.Tears fill her eyes as she sits up disoriented whimpering don't go please come back...i'm sorry But ofcourse He doesn't return and she is left alone in the room, shaking.Shamed...Shamed him...shamed the family....had he said it or was it her mind? She didn't know truly but the mere thought shook her to the core...how was she supposed to let go of it all...all she had learned...what was she to do now? How could she regain the favor of her Family?!......((TBC))

The night went from its usual bad, of being stuck inside her chambers, to much much worse, as it seems the youngest Frisian Prince in attendance at the Windstorm Court had suddenly taken an interest in her once more! She had been 'questioned' already by Cara's equally Dark Knight, though He had not seemed to find too much of a reason to be harsh with her, although He had not released her either. But the Frisian Prince...from the moment He stepped into the room He seemed to be looking for a reason to be mean. He asked her many questions, starting with what she had to say for herself...
Opting for Honesty she had told him or...started to...just what had happened and why.But when she paused for breath His response to her words came swift and irritable. He didn't understand...how could He understand just what they had all been taught and what they had been told to do. Her in league with someone who wanted to harm Cara?! Was He DAFT? Well there went her opinion of the Royal Status. She had always been taught they had more sense than that! And that teaching came from Tiarna!
Twice over during the frightening interview if one could call it that, she had looked Heavenward, where they said Tiarna now rested, and begged for His help. He had come to her in a dream the eve before. Scolded her for her actions and told her the Nanny had been wrong. She was to forget all that the Nanny had told her and taught them all.Start fresh under BhanTiarna's leadership. Mostly however He had told her that her actions and behavior had shamed Him, had shamed their Family....
So she had looked skyward, and begged His guidance again like He had given the eve before.She had tried Truth...it didn't seem to be working...all it did was anger the Prince even further. This time however there was only silence, though for only a moment she felt as if she were wrapped in a blanket, snug and safe. The feeling was a strong one and she got the sense she was to continue with Truth, e'en ifn it nay seemed to be a good thing at the time.So she tried again....
Unfortunately with each new thing she tried to explain, the Prince's anger nay seemed to abait, and then He had spoken of the Nanny as if she had sent them off purposefully into the hands of a slaver.That had made her snap, ifn only for a moment. And she had screamed at him, glaring into those dark eyes as she did, that Nanny had been dead by the time the man arrived and none of the girls had known what He was about. He was merely supposed to be transporting them SAFELY back to Her cousin's court in Eire so Cara could take her place there.Only when He snapped the cold steel restraints on them had they realized anything was amiss. But ofcourse Cara had not known anything at all....Nanny had said she nay needed to. But had Nanny known this was to happen?! No No...How could she the missive had not spoken of it....at least none of what she had read to them had spoken of anything like such.
She hadn't realized till twas too late that she had yelled at Him, but she spent the rest of the interview pon her knees, her head lowered toward the floor as she begged his forgiveness. Nothing she seemed to say calmed Him after that..as He threatened to have her banished from the Castle to work in someones fields or worse thrown aboard a ship and taken back to any port in Eire to be dumped like a barrel of fish on the dock and left to try and find her way in a land she had left as a babe.
Somehow the interview had ended with Him allowing her out of her room to work in the kitchens and around the Castle once more till such time as He or the Queen allowed her to go elsewhere.She had naught disagreed then but she had told Him twice during their talk that her loyalties were to BhanTiarna Cara, and as such as long as She served here so would they. If however She told her they were to leave for any reason she would be following right behind her...Order to stay somewhere or naught. She knew He knew it well and so she spoke naught, for till BhanTiarna spoke she was under their control.
Only once he had left the room again did she dare rise, but then only after a few minutes to make sure He nay returned.Crawling into her bed then she fell into an exhausted sleep, remembering nothing more aside from little flashes of images in her sleep, till the next morn
