...Tricked...
Yes, clever girl...
Being in Cara's mind was like being in... a fog. If an visual image were to come to mind, it was as if Hibiscus were standing in a thick fog, with Cara's voice echoing all around her.
"He was a necromancer." Hibiscus answered into the fog. "I knew him a long time ago." The fog was Luke-warm, humid, it drifted about lazily. "I killed him back then, that is why he has killed me now. Petty vengeance." She would have scowled, disapproving. "I know you are curious, but I won't say his name, he might here."
"Have you ever gotten a feeling that someone was talking about you, even somewhere far away? It's like that, though, with the aide of magic you can know for certain who is saying your name and where. Names are like that..."
"We are lucky... He doesn't know that I am still here. We best keep it that way. Once we are beyond this place, if we find anyone who knows you or I, best to say you simply fled to escape me and the wedding." People would pity the damsel-in-distress. A girl escaping the evil necromancer she was nearly forced to marry... a very romantic story. They would feel badly for her, they someone might help her after hearing such a story. Cara was a pretty girl, she could trick them easily...
Except, it wouldn't be a trick or a lie, for it was all true.
