279 A Child?

****

When I opened my eyes, I saw few people around me. I couldn't explain how I ended up here. The last thing I remembered was Lyla trying to explain herself to me.

She terrified me. My head hurt so much that I wondered if it was used to play tennis while I was sleeping.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Maybe the last scene will come back to me hit it didn't. What happened? Why was I here?

Have they sold me to the king already? My eyes flew open and I looked at the old woman standing front if me. She wore a blue robe. Her face was strange.

I wanted to ask what she was doing but she took the pot beside me and started mixing some herbs. Only then, did I realized that she was healer.

I wondered if Lyla hurt me. She did not look like one who would do it but nobody was to be trusted. Not after everything I went through.
