This might be a short one...but if i get more than 2 reviews within the next two hours...i will post the next one :-)
They were travelling so fast that all the women had to hold onto the side of the carriage as it battled its way through the fields. It didn't help that night was coming and they were losing light. The only way they could see was from the light of moon, but it wasn't going to be enough to light their way within an hour.
"Do you think they're alright?" Emie asked her in French, about the men outside on their horses.
Lucy closed her eyes, in her worried state she almost forgot what her reply in French should be, but it didn't help that she wasn't sure at all, "Yes" she replied to her instantly. Not wanting any of the other women to get worried. The Empress and Reine had no idea what was going on and they looked baffled at the speed they were travelling. Lucy was surprised the Empress had not asked the reason for why they were moving so fast.
"Please dont fret Your Imprerial Majesty" Lucy told her, "everything will be fine" she wanted to believe her own words, but she had to keep the women of this carriage calm.
The Empress was nodding in thanks when they went over another rock and being the smaller of the group, Lucy suddenly felt herself lift out of her seat and hit her head hard on the wooden roof of the carriage, a sudden blinding pain shot through her her, "Ahhhh!"
"Lucy!" Emie cried, grabbing at her and keeping her in her seat, "Lucy are you ok?"
Lucy sucked in a breath, her head now pounding and she touched the top of her now tender head, "I'm ok, thank you Emie" but she wasn't sure. It was either the moving of the carriage or hitting her head, but she suddenly became light headed, she clutched Emie's hand for comfort.
"Here, have some water Miss Logan" Reine pulled out a cannister of water for her.
"Thank you," Lucy's hand went out, but she missed. She was seeing two of them, "Ah, Emie could you?" she asked and letting go of her hand, Emie grabbed the bottle and took off the lid. Placing it by her lips and tipping the contents out into her mouth, "thank you" she blinked a few times and her vision was blurred, this wasn't good. A fear hit her stomach, she hadn't experience this before and it felt alien and scary.
"We need to stop" Emie stated with concern, and looked out the carriage, ready to shout out the window.
"No," Lucy stated with a firm voice to get her to face back to her, "we can't stop"
"But you need care, you need your husband" Emie told her. As much as she wanted Wyatt right now, they couldn't stop. If it was Flynn following them, they needed to loose him. Stopping right now wasn't an answer.
"No, we carry on" Lucy told her, closing her eyes and hoping the blurred vision and now dizziness that had hit her, would pass. She took deep breathes hoping it would help.
Silence filled the carriage, but with every bump Lucy felt her head pounding more and more. She opened her eyes and they were filled with water, her vision still blurred she suddenly couldn't help it, and felt herself falling forward out of the seat.
After that, she could only hear the cry from Emie shouting her name, and everything went black.
