But then she pulled away and looked at him with such tortured eyes. Then she said, "Ye'll likely think I am daft if I tell ye what happened... But I must... me heart hurts." And so the story she had only told few, came spilling out.

She spoke about how Harold, who had treated Addie, had become obsessed with helping to rid the world of the evil that had haunted the town where she and Harold had settled. She went on to talk about how Harold began to change and even gotten angrier and angrier, and how his behavior went from bad to worse over time until the evil took completely over and killed him in a gruesome manner. "He was in the cemetery at her grave when he died, and I couldn't get to him in time."
