Ok so I have no idea why the last chapter was all in bold font. That was weird. Sorry.

To Make Me Happy

Ch.21:A Mission

Miranda's eyes creaked open. Everything seemed off. She knew her husband was still missing, but she felt some weird nagging in the back of her mind. It didn't take long for her to figure out who it was.

It was her husband. She could feel all of his anguish, all of his grief. It only grew stronger the longer she was awake. Trying to take deep breaths, a gasp alerted the others that she was awake.

They were immediately by her side, and Seylin had joined them now.

Miranda closed her eyes against the pain. It was becoming overwhelming, and she didn't know how to deal with it. The room was completely silent. All eyes on the pregnant woman.

Finally, having been informed of her earlier emergency, Seylin realized what was happening.

He stepped forward and placed his fingers at Miranda's temples. He leaned down to whisper in her ear.

"Miranda, I need you to focus. Tune everything else out. These overwhelming feelings coming over you, don't fight them. Let them completely take you over. Try to make a connection to Dentwood."

Miranda nodded her head as a tear slipped down her cheek.

After a minute she shook her head. "I can't." she whispered as a tear trailed its way down her cheek.

Seylin gently stroked the side of the his frightened daughter-in-law's face.

"You can Miranda. Just relax and don't think. Just feel." Miranda nodded her head and took a deep breath.

She shut down her mind. Soon, she was burdened with feelings and emotions, half of which she couldn't identify. But she pressed forward and soon she was sitting in a cave.

But she wasn't alone. She glanced to her left, and there sat her husband. His clothes were ragged and torn, blood dripping from several places on his body. His right leg was visibly broken and he was shaking.

Miranda gasped and his eyes shot open.

"Miranda." he whispered. She struggled to her feet as quick as her belly would allow.

"Dentwood I'm here!" she cried. He shook his head weakly. It's just a dream." he said repeatedly. "Just a dream."

"No darling," Miranda pleaded. "It's not a dream. I've made a connection with you somehow that's allowing me to be here." She had no idea how that knowledge had entered her head, but she knew she had to be quick.

"I don't have much time. I can only skip one heartbeat. Do you know where you are?" His gaze was unfocused as he stared at the woman that held him in her arms.

"West." he murmured. "Lendan." Miranda shook her head. "What does that mean?" she asked.

Dentwood only smiled. "Your so beautiful Miranda. I love you so much." Miranda smiled as tears trickled down her cheeks.

"I love you too."

"I'm so sorry it's going to end like this."

Miranda shook her head as more tears flowed. "No! Don't talk like that! I'm going to get you out of here. I promise." She gently slid him back onto the floor.

She felt a tugging and knew she had to return. "I promise.

Miranda's eyes shot open and she was back in Seylin and Emily's bedroom. Catspaw, Kate, Emily, and her father-in-law were all standing around her.

"West. Lendan." Everyone gave her puzzled looks except for Seylin.

His eyes lit up and he smiled a wide smile. He turned to Catspaw.

"Your majesty, if you would, prepare the troops." Catspaw nodded his head and took off out the door.

"Miranda," Seylin said, "You did a wonderful job. Now I'm going to need you to come with us."

Kate and Emily immediately protested. "But she's pregnant! She can't go in this condition!"

The wise advisor only looked at them. "Trust me, we will take extra precautions with her. But this may be the only way that we can find Dentwood."

They whispered together before they finally nodded their consent.

Seylin smiled. "I'm proud of you dear." he said before placing a kiss on her forehead.

By the next morning, they set out to find Dentwood. And Seylin felt that this mission would go very well.
