Marcy was knocking at the door. Oleander answered it,
"She's waking now, and is very insistent on joining this conversation" Marcy said to the room.
Theo jumps up off the couch and rushed to her room.
"We will continue this conversation later after Orion has had some time rest" the king said.
"good idea, if we leave her out of this convo she's sure to skin us all alive" oleander said with a laugh.
Orion awoke, confused "where am I?" She asked.
"Oh" Marcy squeaked "oh my dear child you're finally awake"
***
Confused I look at Marcy "finally?"
"Yes, you've been asleep for a few hours, it's now dark outside." She replied.
Walking over to me I try to sit up. Why am I so exhausted?
"Oh no, take it easy, you've been through a lot" Marcy said moving faster to my side. She helps pull me up repositioning my pillows to support my back. Leaning me back she takes a seat on the bed next to me taking my hand into hers.
"Do you remember what happened?"
"I don't, I can't really think right now, my head hurts and I feel like I fell off a cliff" I answered.
Gently putting her hand to my face tracing it, "I am so glad you came back to us, I will let the others know you're awake" Marcy was saying "gave us quite the fright, ya know?" Pulling her hand away she stands and walks out the door.
My hands on my face I drag them down stretching my skin "ughhhhh" my head ached something fierce.
Thankful it's dark I scoot over and climb out of the bed. A little light headed I wobbled some. I needed fresh air it was stifling in the room. Regaining my balance I moved slowly towards the window, the room moved a little making my head pound. As I reach for the window and lean to open it, Theo rushes through the doorway.
