"When will we strike master?” said the man closest to her.
"That is being arranged, I’m sending someone to handle them today”
The group Mua-ha-hawd evilly. (I’m sorry but I love clichés)
The leader who ever he was , turned and faced Leah, a hood covered his face “You will go to the Garden today, you will go” his voice held a commanding strength.
“Ok” Leah faded out the dream
Once she was gone the leader turned to faced the rest, only a sliver of dark hair showing from the hood
“If I can’t have her, no one, especially not him, will”
When she awoke, Leah had an astounding headache and other various pains as the results of too much champagne last night. Thankfully there was a glass of water and a small bottle of a vile of a concoction made by the servants specifically for hangovers. It tasted terrible and was slimy on the way down but it work. Leah drank it all with a strong grimace and followed it quickly with the water. Already some of the nausea was gone and brushing off that strange dream she had,
Leah got up to get ready for the day. After a shower and a change of clothes, into a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt that said "Don't Piss Me Off, I'm Running Out of Places to Hide the Bodies", her favorite one.
She left the bathroom and walked out to find a young woman, closer to a girl, bending over to place food on a table in a breakfast nook.
"Thank you" Leah said politely and the poor woman nearly jumped out of her skin. She hurriedly looked down.
"No problem your highness" she stood there "Is there anything else you'll be needing?"
"No, that'll be all, I do have some questions though?"
"Yes your highness"
"What is your name and how long have you been working here?"
"My name is Nadia and I've been here for 27 years Linerian ma'am" her head was still bowed
"I have one more question, I can't remember the way to the royal gardens, can you tell me them?"
Nadia quickly gave Leah the directions, bowed and turned to leave the room.
"Wait, you can call me Leah”
Nadia bowed slowly “As you , Leah”
Nadia finally got what she wanted and quickly left the room. Leah sighed, how long would it be until she could get used to life here, Earth seemed so natural to her. Shaking her head she sat to eat the fruit and bagel in front of her. The headline of the paper read” PRINCESS AND DUCHESS RETURN FROM DEATH - COMMENTARY ON BALL INSIDE”. Reading the commentary and laughing at how much they got wrong, Leah quickly finished her breakfast and headed out towards the Gardens.
While walking down the hallway , Leah felt that for some reason that was where she was supposed to go.
Pushing open the doors , the Garden was a sight to behold. To the left, red and white tulips, to the left purple and black roses, not to far away were marigolds that reached her knee. She walked slowly, taking in all the sights and smells.
What really amazed her was at the center of the Garden was a circle of imaginable size filled with lilies of every color. At the very center was pond that held floating lilies and several large koi fish.
“It’s wonderful isn’t it?” a voice whispered into her ear
Gasping Leah turned and was very happy to see that it was Dante behind her. They sat down by the center and Leah laid her head on his lap.
“I love it”
Dante threw a piece of bread into the pond, which the fish promptly devoured “I knew you’d like it” when she looked up at him questioningly he continued “I built when you died, I knew how much you loved lilies”
“I didn’t remember you were so good with your hands”
“Don’t worry, you’ll remember that I was good with a lot of things soon” He smiled devishlly at her and faked pain when she batted him with her hands.
“Can I ask you something babe”
“Shoot” she replied
“I know I’m not exactly the best at putting things to words but I know you understand t hat I love you more than life itself. I wanted to know if I could have you as my wife… again”
Once he was done he’d put a small box in front of her, when she sat up and opened , inside was one of those “Past, Present and Future” rings on a white gold setting.
Leah jumped up and hugged, kissing him all over his face “I’d marry you a million times” and a kissfest ensued. Once they were done, they began they’re way back to the palace Leah stopped him.
“I just want to pick one” she bent towards a white Easter Lilly and once she touched , she began to fall.
Dante saw her crumple to the ground and was all to late holding her up. She looked fine from the outside but he knew that her body was way too hot.
“Leah” he shook her slightly “Leah don’t do this baby, please don’t, Leah” his voice was filled with
anguish. He picked her up completely and ran towards her room.
Placing her down on her bed he then ran back to her hallway. “Help me!!!” Instantly 3 guard, 2 maids and the royal historian came to his aid.
“Can some one get a doctor and my parents, the Duke and Duchess Salloway and the Duke and Duchess Lamont, I can’t leave her”
The guards left to gather the requested people while the maids placed compresses upon Leah. Dante sank into a chair beside her bed, crying silently
