We stayed there till night fell, I not talking to him, him crying begging
me for my forgiveness. I took both of his hands and helped him up. We
walked back to the inn, were my party was sitting on chairs and tables
talking and drinking. They looked up when we walked in, and one of my
younger guards named Bryanem came up to me, and led Shand away. Shand
didn't mind being led away by Bryanem because over the time they became
good friends.
I looked at Nina and Savanna, and they got up and hugged me. I stood there stiff and when they let go, I ordered some ale. I might as well get drunk and then maybe forget about all of this.
When I finished off five pints, Katata took the sixth out of my hands. I protested and he ignored me. I wanted everyone to leave me alone. I had only been married for a day and already I had a fight with Shand. This wasn't a good sign.
"Katata give me back that ale right now. You have no right to take that away from me. I want everyone to leave me alone. Just go. GO!"
They just looked at me like I was an idiot and continued to talk amongst them. I was shocked that they disobeyed me. I was there employer and they didn't do what I told them to do. It isn't like I was cruel and made them my slaves; no they were my friends and my guards. I only wanted to be left alone.
"Leave me alone I said! I don't care where you go, just do it. I can't believe that when I ask you to do one simple thing you don't do that. All I want is to drink and drink. Is that so damn bad? You good people get drunk almost all the time, and when I want to it's a crime? I don't understand why you won't just leave me be in my own misery."
Katata walked back over to me, lifted me up and carried me to my room. Thank God Shand wasn't there. If he was I don't know what I would do. I wasn't angry with him anymore, just disappointed. Katata walked over to the bed and dropped me. I lied there and saw the two others bringing in a tub. Good a bath. Nina and Savanna walked in and when the bath was filled, helped me to undress. I went into that bath and sunk my head under. I came up, and Nina washed my hair. It smelled like roses, my favorite flower. I was in there long after the water turned warm, and I didn't ever want to get out. I always had a thing about water. If I could I was become a mermaid and live in an underwater kingdom. Nina told me that it was time to get out of the tub, that I was turning into a prune, and something else, but I wasn't paying attention to her. Before my eyes I saw the woman with the long black hair again. She was beckoning me. She needed to tell me something, and I wanted to hear what it was. I got out of the tub and walked out of the room. I didn't even bother to put on clothing. I had to go to her now. I felt Nina tugging at me, but I kept walking. She needed me, and I needed her. Nina let go of me and started calling for help.
