There was no love lost between the Wescotes of Mordent and the Campbells of Demenlieu, but the groom, at least, was willing to go through with the marriage. Ann’s family brought her to the manor so the couple could get acquainted before their union, though Ann remained vehemently opposed to the wedding. The rest ofthe Campbells stayed at an inn in the town of Mordentshire. Sometime during the night, Ann fled the manor into the bog, but not before killing Michael, one ofthe Wescote brothers, who apparently tried to prevent her from leaving. Burton set his dogs after her. Later, he said that he had trained them to subdue their prey and ordered them to do so when he loosed them. He and his dogs raced through the night after the fleeing Ann. The dogs outdistanced Wescote and gained ground on the girl. She fled into the mists that always seem to rise near the bog, the dogs close at her heels. Wescote ran after, a few minutes behind. What happened out there, no one really knows.

Michael and Burton Wescote were known tobe the closest of brothers, and everyone thought Burton had killed Ann in revenge. The Campbells had thought it likely that Burton had chased Ann into the moors for the express purpose of killing her, but none could prove it. They moved back to Demenlieu, cursing the name of the Wescotes. The Wescotes praised Burton for pursuing the murderer to her death. The two families, who hadn’t gotten along in the best of lines, became bitter enemies. Then, for some reason or another, the Wescotes began disappearing, singly or in small groups. Eventually, only a few ragged s
