     Sarah went to Orion’s chambers. She wasn’t here as a doctor and it made her a little nervous. She didn’t know what she would find. The doors from the hallway opened into a waiting area of sorts. There were a couple bookcases full of old books along the wall. A table with twoContinue reading “Coreopsis 25 b”

  Michael was up to his neck in bubbles. He noticed Juliah’s head lying on her hands on the rim of the tub.    “My princess.” She raised her head when he spoke. “I am so sorry.”    “It’s okay.” She caressed his cheek. He held his breath hoping it would last forever. “I’m sorryContinue reading “Coreopsis 25 a”

   Orion sung open the doors to Juliah chamber. There lay Anna on the bed. Her dress was open exposing all of her body. He took the rest of the smelling salt from Sarah, and then removed a throw from the back of the couch covering Anna up before breaking the other end of theContinue reading “Coreopsis 24 d”

   Sarah stopped abruptly. “Oh my.” In a hall way to her right, she saw Michael leaning up against the wall.    They started walking toward him. He was not leaning against the wall. Instead he was leaning against a set of double doors. The position of his body reminded her of a rag doll.Continue reading “Coreopsis 24 c”

   “I guess we should finish the tour?” Jack nervously suggested. “The royal family should be back soon.”    “Sure.” They started walking again. Sarah stopped staring at the stone structure before them. “Have we made a complete circle?”    He laughed, “I never could fool you. We exited through the east wing, went aroundContinue reading “Coreopsis 24 b”

  The royal family had left to go on their trip. Sarah was feeling much better. Just weak.    There was a knock on her door. She was lying on the bed reading her journal. “Come.” She looked up, “Jack.” She smiled, “come in.” She put her book aside.    “How do you feel?” HeContinue reading “Coreopsis 24 a”

All night long Sarah moaned in her sleep. Jack came in a couple times to check on her. Orion laid his head on the bed. He wouldn’t leave her.    In the morning, that is exactly what James found. He touched Orion’s shoulder. “How is she?” He asked softly.    “Terrified,” Orion rose up.  Continue reading “Coreopsis 23”

   There was a knock at the door.    “What?” James snapped.    David slowly entered. “She is okay?”    “Ol,” she moaned.    James glared at him. “What have you done?”    “What I thought was best.” David was in a state of shock. The color had not returned to his face.    “IContinue reading “Coreopsis 22 c”

Orion and Jack looked at each other in confusion.    “I thought she was talking out of her head.” Jack turned his attention back to her, dabbing the sweat from her brow.     She kept repeating two phrases over and over.    After what seemed like an hour, David walked in with James hot onContinue reading “Coreopsis 22 b”

       Orion knocked on Sarah’s door but there was no answer. “Sarah,” he called to her. “Sarah.” His cries had alerted the maid in charge of these rooms. “Open this door.”      She did.       Orion searched everywhere. He noticed the door to the bathroom was locked. As he walked awayContinue reading “Coreopsis 22 a”
