Nightmare
Part XI

It seemed that Taryn suspected her father had been
murdered, though she had no proof
Several things had been out of the ordinary on the day
of his death
One of them alone was hardly noteworthy
But the sum of them certainly did seem suspicious
Here she also posed the question that perhaps her
mother's illness had not been of natural causes
Though it had not been questioned at the time
Immediately following her father's death, Wilfred had
arrived
Ostensibly to offer his condolences, but she had no
doubt of his ulterior motive
She refused to see him, and sent him away
Somehow I think that might not have been the wisest
course of action
Though I'd probably have done the same
She took full advantage of her ninety days of official
mourning
Remaining secluded in her chambers
Refusing all visitors
And from the quantity of writing in the journal, doing
little else but that
She poured out her pain and her anger over the loss of
her parents
And made quite the case that they had indeed been
murdered
She also wrote of plans to bring about the downfall of
Wilfred
If I had had any doubt as to her feelings for him
They were dispelled by her writing
She truly despised him
I could literally feel her hatred of him running up and
down my spine
And somehow, I knew that I was experiencing the exact
same thing as she had as she wrote the words
But I experienced something different as well
A feeling of foreboding so strong it stopped the very
beating of my heart

Nightmare
Part XII

I sat here for long moments overwhelmed with the
feelings I was experiencing
Nothing like this has ever happened to me before
Why now?
What sort of connection did I have with this person whom
I've never met?
For though, I'd like to deny it, a connection does exist
Finally having gotten my emotions under control,
somewhat
I sit here pondering these things
And I have no answers
But I KNOW this person, this queen
I know her feelings, her thoughts
And although I cannot explain how I know
I know she is all right
Wherever she is
And that she's depending on me to help her
