S.D.'s Secret

Bobby was upset!

Loor had passed out without warning. He understood why but he wished there was a warning.

He laid her down on the bench and rubbed her hand.

"You couldn't protect her Pendragon. You failed her." said a ice cold voice.

Bobby looked around.

No Saint Dane to be seen.

"She asked you to be there for her and you let her down. How could you forgive yourself for letting her get so sick it caused her to go into a coma?" The voice rasped. Bobby jumped to his feet.

"What do you mean?" Bobby yelled and he heard laughter. "That isn't funny!" He yelled.

"Oh Pendragon, you have no idea."

Bobby could tell it was Saint Dane. "Show yourself Saint Dane! I know you are there!" Bobby yelled.

"Are you sure? Well, if you wish." Saint Dane walked out from behind a tree. "Feel better?" He asked.

Bobby shook his head. "Not really. What did you mean she got sick?"

Saint Dane laughed. "When she got bitten by the quig of course. It got infected. Only one cure. Do you want it?" He asked.

"What do you want Saint Dane?" Bobby asked with his hands in fists.

"The usual of course. Join me Pendragon. We can destroy Halla together. Just join me." Saint Dane insisted.

"I will never join you. Give me the cure." Bobby yelled.

Saint Dane laughed his high-pitched laugh. "It is the one thing you and I don't have Pendragon. Do you know what that is?" He asked.

Bobby shook his head.

"Love. Neither of us have it. You can't heal the Batu girl without it. Give up and join me Pendragon." Saint Dane said dangerously.

"Love? Of course I have love. You have no idea what love is because you never loved anyone yourself because you are a cold-hearted demon." Bobby yelled.

Saint Dane lost his smile. "You are wrong Pendragon." He said.

"About what? About you being cold-hearted or you ever loving anyone?" Bobby asked.

Saint Dane nodded. "The last one." He replied.

"You? Love someone?" Bobby asked.

Saint Dane nodded. "She was a beautiful woman. But in my quest to rule Halla I got her killed." He said.

Bobby didn't seem too interested in his life story.
"Do you want to know who that woman was Pendragon?" Saint Dane asked.

Bobby shrugged.

"Osa." Saint Dane said quietly. "That's right. I loved Osa and I killed her. But that is over and I have the last chance to fix the life she could have had. I guess you have the power to save Loor after all. I will not stop trying to get rule over Halla. Never. Good day Pendragon." Saint Dane disappeared into nowhere.

Wow.

Did that just happen?

Did Saint Dane just admit he loved Osa, Loor's mother?

No.

It can't be.

No way.

Not Saint Dane.

Not Osa.

"Bobby?" Loor asked, interupting Bobby's train of thought. Bobby looked at her.

"Did I just hear what I think I just heard? Did Saint Dane love my mother?" She asked.

Bobby couldn't answer.

"I don't know. But, I do know that I love you. So, get some rest so we can talk this over later." Bobby sat down next to her. She laid down with her head in his lap and closed her eyes.

Did Saint Dane love Osa?

Was he telling the truth or lying?

No. He couldn't be lying. Bobby would have sensed it.

Yes.

Saint Dane loved Osa.
