Thirty minutes later, Dr. Stine held Angelique’s hand and begged her to open her eyes. Stanley hooted from his perch on a high eave. Razor slept on the floor, using his outstretched, front paws as pillows. Alexander rested on the other bed and cried.

“I wish I’d done something. I should’ve tried to help her,” the boy said.

“It’s not your fault, Alexander. At least she’s not dead. Maybe she’ll wake up soon and everything will be fine,” Dr. Stine said. He watched Angelique’s chest rise and fall.

Persephone entered the room. She held a large flask of yellow, bubbling liquid. After she removed a cork from the opening, she offered the flask to Alexander. His hand trembled as he took it from her. Persephone cringed when he almost dropped it.

“I used the golden orchids to create an antidote for you. I hope it works,” she said.

Alexander pressed the flask against his lips. He closed his eyes and poured the antidote into his mouth. A strong, bitter taste almost caused him to spit it out. But he gritted his teeth and swallowed the fluid. Then he placed the flask on a table and coughed.

Angelique moaned. Dr. Stine gasped when her eyelids fluttered open. She looked at him and smiled. Persephone approached the bed and cried with joy. Then she said: “I’m glad everyone is okay. I’ve decided to join you. I’ll be with you the rest of the way.”

To express his gratitude, Dr. Stine hugged Persephone and kissed her lips.
