CHAPTER THIRTEEN

A HORSE GALLOPED past and grazed her shoulder. She fell on her back on the frozen ground. The stars shone above her. A massive black horse came into view, and the tall man looked down at her. He looked regal, and somehow familiar, though she had never seen him before. He spoke, but she couldn’t hear him for the other voices calling her name. His face grew blurry. She blinked and saw it was Jake, not King Arthur.

Over his shoulder, she saw the others watching with wide eyes. “I’ve never seen anything like that,” Rhonda said.

“Kendall, can you hear me?” Jake patted her face.

She grabbed his arm and sat up. No battlefield. No King Arthur. No snow.

Jake continued to frown. “That was a little too real,” he whispered in her ear.

She couldn’t yet speak.

“Was it Arthur?” Alice asked.

She nodded, and there was a gasp.

“What did he say?” Sandy asked.

Kendall tried to stand, but her legs felt numb. “Help me up,” she said to Jake.

He put a hand under each arm and lifted her to her feet. “You’re cold.”

She was still unsteady, so she clutched his arm. “I need to leave,” she whispered.

Jake took charge. “Kendall’s encounter with Arthur has left her weak. She needs to restore her energy. Then she’ll explain her vision.”

There were disappointed groans as Jake led her away from the garden, finally carrying her after she stumbled twice. He carried her inside the house to their room, where he shut the door and set her on her feet. “Talk about starting off with a bang, but I thought you’d drag it out a little more. The whole thing didn’t last a minute. They might feel cheated.”

Kendall grabbed his arm for support. “It wasn’t an act.”

“That was real?”

She nodded and moved slowly toward the bed.

He helped her to the bed and took off her shoes. “Your feet are cold.”

“It was snowing.”

“Huh?”

“I was on the battlefield. It was snowing. There were horses and knights and swords.”

Jake lifted that sexy brow.

“I saw him. I saw King Arthur.”

The other brow rose.

“He said something to me.”

“He talked to you?” Jake’s surprised look turned a bit dubious. “Is this retaliation for the dead-presidents thing? I had to build up your reputation.”

“No, I’ll owe you for that. King Arthur rode his horse right up to me and looked into my eyes. He said something to me.”

“What?”

“I don’t know. I was yanked back into my body.”

Jake stared at her. “How do you know it was King Arthur and not some other sword-toting knight on horseback in the middle of a battlefield?”

“I felt him. I know it was him.”

“Damn. Has this happened before?”

“A few times, but more like what you saw when I touched Raphael. Like a vision. This time it felt like I was there. You didn’t see anything?” He had been holding her hand.

“No. You flew backward like you’d been checked by a hockey player and lay there with your eyes open. At first I thought you’d hit your head on a rock and died.
