-Karen-Bart sighed and chuckled under his breath. "I will mention your concerns to him again… But as long as I have known Conor, you would have a better chance of trying to stop this planet from spinning around its star than to attempt to sway his mind now." He said as he stood up and walked over to me. "Take a step back and give him an honest chance, Karen… I know you dislike him, but maybe you should try to see how good he is doing. Well, at least what he is trying to do…" Bart patted my shoulder. He looked at his wrist, "It's about three, so you will have plenty of time to think about all of this during your bath." He left the room, leaving me standing there, trying not to panic from my spiking anxiety.I looked down at my hands and then over to the pretty gown. But… What do I do? It would be stupid to kill the only nice person I have met… But he is the enemy! He has been fighting to get me well again… But he is lusting for me… I don't know what to do! I only had to wait a few min

-Karen-I froze up entirely as panic crept through every inch of me. "It's fine, Lewis. I bet all that alcohol is finally hitting her… I told you not to drink it all at once," Conor said, standing up and chuckling softly while I sat there trying to maintain the glass-like facade. I wish that were the reason for my silence. There's not enough wine on this planet to calm my nerves from him."I must respectfully disagree, Your Majesty. You should receive a prompt and concise answer if you ask a question." Lewis stated harshly as I stared at the table, trying not to breathe. I think I'm going to die. I felt a heavy boot smash my right foot and managed not to show any pain despite the sharp tinges running up my leg. I need to breathe. I feel like I can't even do that right now."Well… Yes, that's true- But she's had a lot to drink tonight, too, Lewis." Conor rebutted, walking over to my left and offering his hand to me. Please, take me away from him!As I started to accept, Lewis said, "Yo

-Conor-"Check her pulse, Jo," Bart ordered as he stitched another rib together. No! Don't let go, Karen!"She has one, but it's fading, Bart. We must get her to the medical ward before it fades entirely." Joanne answered, hurriedly stuffing the tools back into the bag."Right. Conor, please pick her up, and let's get down to the ward. I'll have to put her on a machine quickly." Bart said, grabbing his bag and heading out the door after Joanne. Conor picked up Karen and cradled her carefully as they ran down to the medical ward below.As soon as they arrived, Bart and Joanne went into overdrive as Conor placed Karen on the metal table and stepped out of the way. Don't fade away… Her breathing had become very shallow, and her lips were bluer than earlier. "I bet she has a collapsed lung, among other serious issues," Bart commented as Joanne got an IV injected into Karen's right arm and started adding several bags containing medicines to the main tube. After she was done, Joanne placed

-Karen-I heard logs crackle in a fire as I slowly regained consciousness. I felt like I had repeatedly smashed between the heavy throne room doors and then tossed off the roof into the forest behind the palace. My body felt as if it had been set on fire as the pain came and went, but I was cold at the same time. I looked around the room as best I could and saw a roaring fire to my right. My servant's room didn't have a fireplace… So where am I now? The burning wood smelled terrific, and the warmth I was getting helped with the frozen feeling in my bones. I've had this frozen feeling before… It's been a while since the last time."You're awake?" A familiar voice to my immediate left whispered in my ear. It took a moment for me to swing my head over to see the concern in his gray eyes. Conor looked like he had been up for several days. I could see the exhaustion was engraved into his face."Is that you, Conor?" I whispered. I could see him nod as his warm hand caressed my right cheek g

-Karen-He held me tightly while I continued soaking up his warmth. I always thought I'd die alone as a result of being attacked by Lewis. But here I am in his arms and a very comfortable bed. He hummed the same tune from before, and all I could do was drift off.I had no idea how long I had been asleep when the doors slammed open, making us, mainly Conor, jump at the sudden loud noise. Ugh. Rude! "Jo found one!" Bart shouted as he dragged in an older man. The lights in the room switched on, and Conor and I narrowed our eyes and groaned at the sudden brightness. I can barely move now…"Let me see her, please…" The older man said as Conor got out of bed. No! My heat source! I wanted him to come back, and I started to shiver immediately. The doctor had graying hair and green eyes. He looked familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on why. "Ah! It's you, Karen!" The doctor cried as he pulled the covers back so he could feel my neck. Even colder now… How is that possible? "Good to see that
