Chapter Eight

When I woke, I was lying in my sumptuous bed amid dozens of pillows. Circle was fluttering around me, dabbing my forehead with a cool cloth.

“My lord! My lord! She’s awake,” Circle called.

A moment later Sean came in, his eyes round with anxiety and angst. I tried to touch him, but he pulled away and told me to get my rest. Puzzled and confused, I drifted back off. When I woke later, Circle again summoned Sean. He came and carried me out of my apartment into the courtyard that was at the bottom of the steps. Being in his arms filled me with joy. Arlee waited by the fountain. Sean put me gently on a chaise lounge.

Arlee leaned over me. “My lady, the Lady Naomi has ordered that you take some of Lord Judah’s energy. Lady Naomi won’t let your ladyship fall through until you do. It’s imperative that you do as ordered because you are badly in need of the yellow sun.”

“Really? That’s what Naomi wanted you to tell us?” Sean’s voice was sharp. “First she almost tortures Darcy to death, and then she sends Judah to make her better. That was the plan, wasn’t it? To weaken Darcy so much that she would be forced to accept Judah’s energy.”

“I can’t speak to that, my lord.”

“Darcy won’t do it. She’s only ever taken the energy of people who have attacked her first.”

“I’m sorry, my lord, but it’s the Lady Naomi’s orders,” Arlee said firmly. “Lord Judah is on his way.”

Though I only caught bits and pieces of the conversation, it was Circle who finally convinced Sean to let Judah touch me before I died. Judah arrived. I didn’t want his energy, because he was an innocent, and blocked him, but Naomi knew how to defeat me. She had sent a Mechanic with Judah, and the Mechanic put something that felt like a flat, warm stone in my palm. Judah took my hand, and the stone allowed his energy to flow into me.

“Stop it. Judah, don’t,” I whispered. His energy felt strange and intrusive flowing through my nerves and I didn’t want it in me.

“She told you to stop,” Sean said coldly. “She doesn’t want you or your energy.”

“So says the creation who is making this about himself,” Judah replied.

“What do you mean by that?”

“This didn’t have to happen.”

“Naomi ordered the clawman. I didn’t,” Sean snapped.

“Because you wouldn’t leave Lady Darcy alone. You approached her at the human school, you brought her here into a battle, and then you took her to the water.”

Sean drew himself up angrily. “You’re awfully full of concern for someone who doesn’t want to marry her.”

“Maybe you should be,” Judah shot back. “This didn’t have to happen to her or Lord Tardik. She took the clawman’s pain from you and Tardik because you wouldn’t leave her alone. This happened because of your selfishness. Leave Lady Darcy alone. You have Lady Leonie. Now back off before the clawman comes for someone else that Lady Darcy cares about.
