Hi guys,

Here a chapter from Sharon-hime's point of view

The song is called Disease and sung by Livingston

English is my second language, so please don't mind the mistakes too much.

Neither PH nor the song belong to me...


Disease

I've got this disease
And it's burning in me
But it opened up my eyes and it helped me to see
We often in love, get sent from above
An angel to help us open up our eyes

The young Lady Rainsworth was sitting in the garden of the Rainsworth mansion sipping high quality earl gray out of a porcelain mug. While the sun was shining on the white paragon that kept Sharons delicate skin from the sun's rays, she was brooding over the development of the last months. This chronical disease she was suffering from since her early teens seemed to grow stronger and stronger every day. If there just were a vaccine against it …

But as things were, she just had to cope with it. There was still the chance that the pain would lessen over the years and at some point she would be able to forget about her disease. "Lovesickness", how could such a simple word evoke such pain?

And why did hiding this pain make the very same so much worse? Sometimes every word she spoke to him, every glance she stole and every crooked smile she received felt like a dagger that pierced her heart. But she had to hide her feelings.

The worst thing of all was the fact that she wasn't as oblivious to other people's feelings as Oz, Gil and Alice were. She knew quite well that he too had fallen for her...

But she also knew that he held her too high and himself too low, to ever allow himself to give in to his feelings. After all, he had been a knight a long time ago…

Knowing him, she figured that he also knew about her disease, as she preferred to call it. So they both played a dangerous game, acting as close friends, sharing an almost sibling like bond, without ever revealing their true feelings for each other to the world.

But still…from time to time Sharon allowed herself to dream about a world were a "we" would have been possible for them. But not for too long, there was too much to do. After all, they had to prevent a second tragedy of Sabrié.

With Leo on the Baskervilles side who knew what was going to happen in future?

After finishing her tea, Sharon went back into the mansion, where a confused and somehow unfitting broody Oz was already waiting for her.

"Sharon, can I talk to you for a minute?", he asked and followed her into the library without waiting for her answer.
