       “They’re here…”

      Annja felt the breeze that moved her ponytail from in front of her shoulder to her back.

      Then she paused.

      There was no breeze.

      She must have moved, flipped her hair over her shoulder with a jerk of her head. It was the only thing that made sense. Until a strange flutter made her look down.

      She didn’t know what was causing her sudden nervousness, or making her hear things.

      It had to be an insect. It had sounded like that, like wings fluttering.

      “Just a bug,” she whispered.

      A male cry of pain alerted her. She heard a body hit the dirt and the clatter of the plastic-encased camera followed.

      “Eric,” she whispered.

      Footsteps crunched. Those were not Eric’s rubber-soled Vans.

      Sucking in a deep breath, Annja calmed her racing heartbeat.

      The Legend

      …THE ENGLISH COMMANDER TOOK JOAN’S SWORD AND RAISED IT HIGH.

      The broadsword, plain and unadorned, gleamed in the firelight. He put the tip against the ground and his foot at the center of the blade. The broadsword shattered, fragments falling into the mud. The crowd surged forward, peasant and soldier, and snatched the shards from the trampled mud. The commander tossed the hilt deep into the crowd.

      Smoke almost obscured Joan, but she continued praying till the end, until finally the flames climbed her body and she sagged against the restraints.
