Revenge of the Picklebacked Peas
Waking up, the room slowly begins to come into focus.
You are in a small room lying on a soft bed. On your left side is the Prince and on your right is an aged woman wearing a worn apron and holding a basket of herbs. You try to remember what happened but can't.
"Here. Drink this," the woman says handing you a small glass.
You choke down the vile tasting liquid. Your head begins to clear and your memory rushes back to you.
You glance to your left and see the Prince sitting on a stool, his eyes filled with worry. "You gave me a pretty big scare," he says "I thought I'd lost you."
You glance away and look down at the blanket. "I don't mean to sound rude but who are you people and where am I?" you ask in a gentle voice.
Jonathan looks away quickly, trying to hide tears, but you see one trickle down his face. You look up at the aged woman.
"Hush now child," she says "all these questions will be answered in the morning. Now it's time for food then sleep. Both of you have had a trying day. Let's not overdo."
You try to ask more questions but she places her hand on your head. Suddenly you feel very tired and want nothing more than to sleep.
