Garnae nodded, not saying a word. She noticed the turn and pointed at it.
"There. That is where we need to turn," she said. They turned their horses which they had slowed down to a soft walk. She was grateful that he had a lantern. The darkness of the night really did scare her.
Something caught her eye, a shadow dodging in front of her. She pushed her horse away and hit Garnae. She gasped and righted her horse once more.
"I am so sorry. I did not mean to do that," she apologized. She saw the house in front of them like a beacon of hope and light. She sighed inwardly at the sight of it. There she could hide away from the darkness.
