Decoris N Cavell

Tears poured from my eyes once again as I thought of Cole. I wanted to feel his arms around me, I wanted to feel safe. Would I ever see him again? Of course would, he was coming for me. I just had to be patient, he would come. Seeing movement out of the corner of my eye, I looked down into the garden below, it was Alarnon! He was standing by a statue. Was it him? It was hard to tell for sure as he was standing in the shadows. I kept watching...a moment later he stepped forward into the light. I smiled, it was definitely Alarnon. If he was here, were the others as well? Was Cole here? Had they come for me? Were they going to rescue me tonight? I then saw another man walking towards Alarnon. As he passed a lamp-stand I recognized him immediately... Andrew. Alarnon stepped out from his hiding spot and the two began to speak. Why were Andrew and Alarnon speaking? Weren't they on opposite sides? Was Alarnon only pretending to be on Cole's side? Was that the reason he was so upset when he found out that Cole and I had married? Was he the one who alerted the king of my whereabouts when I was in Lake City? All these thoughts and more were running through my head as I silently watched from the balcony above. Several minutes later they parted. Andrew began making his way back towards the palace and Alarnon quickly disappeared into the garden. How I wished I could have heard their conversation. What now? Did this mean that Cole was not coming for me? Did this mean that Cole was in danger?
