I took a while to wake up. It was still very early, but I was done with sleep. I got up and padded to the kitchen to put the coffee on. Iâd had the weirdest dream in the night. It was one of those that was still kind of fuzzy and I should write down the details before I forgot it. I reached to put on the coffee pot and as I did, I felt a twinge in my left wrist. Still groggy from sleep, I looked down and noticed a handkerchief tied around my wrist. I could see the rustiness where a little blood had soaked through. And as I stood there, my whole body went cold. The âdreamâ came back to me like a freezing wave of water right in my face.
Not a dream. If I had bled, then in some fashion I had actually been in that ruin of a castle fighting, who exactly? One of Deathâs employees? I had fought for my life. And then that gorgeous blond who looked like a Viking with ice blue eyes and blond hair had quite literally ridden to my rescue. I recalled the sound of the pounding hooves and the courtly way heâd tried to save my life. This was his handkerchief wrapped around my wrist. I touched it gingerly. I didnât think weâd been in present day, but probably weâd been in some kind of realm where time was fluid.
I had to get to work, but I also needed to take a moment and write down what I remembered. I went upstairs to clean my wound and shower. When I went to make my bed, a tail of ribbon peeking from under the pillow caught my attention, and then hot fury washed through me. Diana. Diana and her sachet that was supposed to give me what? Good dreams? She had to be in on this. Was she working with Death to get rid of me?
The woman had been my friend. Now something else came back to me. The guy fighting me had told me that my sister had negotiated me a fighting chance. Diana had to have known she was sending me to my death.
I didnât know what to do, I was so angry. Well, I decided I wouldnât do anything for now. Iâd go to work as usual. It wasnât easy to keep my focus, but I did my best. Being a law librarian is mostly research, and no one needed anything pressing so I could go through the motions of doing my job while my brain was elsewhere.
Around ten in the morning I got a text from Diana. âHow are you?â
Seriously?
I ignored her for an hour, and then I wrote back, âNot dead. Surprised?â And then I turned my phone off.
