Fear pt.4
Hello, hope you are having a good day. Please vote in my poll. I really need some help.
Mary went to the door and saw Mark.
"What do you want?" Mary asked.
"I was asked to give Merlin this. It's to help him sleep and to help with the pain. He only needs a small amount every several hours." Mark explained. Mary took it.
"Thank you. Now go."
SO Mark left feeling very suspicious. Mary gave it to Merlin.
"I need a cup of water." Merlin said willing holding his hand out.
"Why?" Mary rudely wondered.
"I need to drink it with water. I can't get out of bed because you had your man caused me to go into shock. And you are my servant so get to work."
Mary did as she was told. She gave Merlin the cup of water. Merlin put a little bit of the liquid from the vial into the cup of water. Then he drank all the liquid in the cup. He gave the cup back to Mary and gave her the vial. Then he laid down and went to sleep. Mary smiled to herself.
LINEBREAK
Mark knocked on Rodor's door.
"Come in." Rodor greeted. Mark came in. "AH, Mark, please tell me what is on your mind? Please sit."
Mark did.
"It's about Merlin and Matthew. I went to give them Merlin's draught. Matthew was angry and acted suspicious. He was very rude. I think something is wrong." Mark explained.
"Did you see Merlin?"
"Yes. He looked upset, angry and afraid. Like his family had been threatened and he couldn't do anything about it."
"Yes, I have noticed that. I'll have Mithian talk to him alone the day after tomorrow."
"Thank you, sire."
"Anything for a friend."
The next day, Merlin woke up feeling horrible. He put a hand on his forehead and felt beads of sweat. Then he felt a tickle in his throat. Merlin coughed.
