In Lord of Blakeley, the peaceful farming community of Blakeley is attacked, and Andrew, as the Lord of the Province, led his men in defending their land and people. Andrew did not return.
Excerpt:
“Lady
Aleese, it’s Carmine. Come out.”
“Where
is Drew?”
“Lady
Aleese? Please, come out,” he
begged. “I need to talk to you. It’s about Andrew. He… he’s been…”
She
unlocked the door and looked at him. She
saw the look on his sad tear-stained face.
He didn’t have to say another word.
She knew.
“NO! NO!” she cried, falling on the floor. “NO!
Do not tell me he is dead! NO!”
“I’m
so sorry, Lady Aleese. He died saving
all of us, our land, our crops, and our food.
Oh, he was so incredibly brave, My Lady!
He was majestic, even. He managed
to blow them all up. Unfortunately he
was in the middle of that explosion.”
“NO!” She pulled herself up. “I feel in my heart that my beloved Drew is
not dead.”
“I
saw it with my own eyes. I saw him… get
blown up.”
“No. It cannot be.
Go away, Carmine. I wish to be
alone.”
“I
understand you want to be alone. But,
please, let me help you up to your room.
Your ladies can take care of you upstairs. You don’t want to stay down here in this
cold, dark cellar by yourself.”
“Drew
told me to stay here and wait for him to come and get me. And I’m staying right here. I’m waiting for him to come and get me. Go away.”
“But
Lady Aleese…”
“GO
THE HELL AWAY!!!” She threw a wine
bottle at him. It crashed to the floor
and broke into pieces.
Carmine
nodded and backed away from her. She
slumped back against the wall, slowly sinking to the floor, screaming and
sobbing.
“Come
for me, Drew! Please, My Love, come for
me. I don’t want to go on without
you. You told me to stay here and wait
until you came for me. I’ll wait for
you, Drew. I’ll wait right here. Come for me, My Love. Please, come for me.” She cried some more and soon cried herself to
asleep on the cold, damp cellar floor.
She
heard something, someone walking on the broken glass from the wine bottle on
the floor. A shadowy figure approached
her.
“Drew? Drew, My Darling, I knew you would come for
me. I knew you wouldn’t desert me.
Drew!” She reached for him. The shadowy figure reached out and grabbed
her tightly. The light caught a silvery
glint from his wristband. They both
disappeared.
