CHAPTER 15
Lisa William (FL)
........
Lisa had no idea how much time had passed since she'd sat on the floor .....
But it was long enough for her to realize that time didn't pass in such a fashion for dreamers ....
If one sat still in a dream and did nothing , the dream either ended or moved on to some new and incredible adventure ....
Lisa William (FL)
( Pushing herself up from the floor )
She began to examine her surroundings for the first time after she found herself here ....
She moved to the fireplace and flinched at the real sensation of warmth ....
Then she walked around the room .....
There were No pipes , no air conditioner , no phone jack .....
The door was made of what looked like solid oak ....
Circling the room a second time , she surveyed every thing ....
She Trailed her hand along the wall - another way of testing the solidity of her prison .....
Then her fingertips brushed a thick curtain , she tugged it aside ....
Lisa William (FL)
( opened the window )
She lost her breath in a sudden rush of air ....
The view from the window struck her as intensely as an unexpected blow to her stomach .....
She felt like she gazed out upon a misty night from ancient history ...
Fifty feet above the ground , she was in a stone castle that stood on an island surrounded by a thundering sea ....
She saw men carrying lanterns and moved silently between the castle and small outbuildings .....
The night sky was blue black , tinted purple where it met the water , dancing with thousands of stars and a beautiful big moon .....
The view from the window was breathtakingly stark , majestic .....
The air was so strong that it was moving the curtains hardly ....
Coincidently and Unfortunately , as her eyes focused on the curtains fiber , she discovered a new horror .....
At the bottom of the hanging , embroidered in crimson , were four numbers that took away her sanity : 1314 .....
Lisa William (FL)
" What ... Is this ...😱 "
Lisa moved to the bed and sank onto it , her energy drained by the successive shocks .....
She stared blankly at the bed for a moment , then her hand flashed out and poked frantically at the mattress .....
Filled with a growing sense of panic , she pulled back the tightly tucked blankets and was sidetracked by the fragrance that clung to them .....
His scent : spice , danger , and man .....
She moved away quickly , firmly ignoring a desire to bury her nose in the sheets ....
For the next twenty minutes Lisa exploreed her surroundings again , driven by increasing desperation .....
For her horror , she found a painting on the wall had the same number 1314 at the bottom of it , written in a small font ....
The stones felt cool , the fire felt hot . The liquid in the cup near the bed tasted gross .....
Absently , she swiped at her neck with the back of her hand , and when she drew it away a single drop of blood lay crimson upon her skin ....
She understood with sudden certainty that she should never have touched the flask .....
She was neither in her country nor in the twenty first century .....
She felt the last of her hope that she was dreaming slip from her grasp .....
And now , reflecting upon what happened , she realized that he'd seen the flask because it was not part of a dream ....
Lisa William (FL)
" Had the flask somehow carried me back to a man who had direct or indirect proprietary rights to it ? .... "
Lisa William (FL)
" If so , was i truly in the fourteenth century ? .... Is this even possible !! ... "
With growing horror , she remembered every details happened ....
His odd manner of dress , his intent perusal of her clothing as if he'd never seen something like that before , the primitive tub situated before the fire , the strange language he'd spoken ....
All of it hinted at the impossible .....
She was in a middle age stone castle , and at some point in the fourteenth century .....
Lisa blew her breath out in a frantic attempt to calm down .....
She couldn't be somewhere else in time , because if this was true , Catherine was some seven hundred years in the future , alone .....
Her mother desperately needed her and had no one else to rely on .....
That was unacceptable .....
If she was actually in the past , which was what all her senses insisted , she had to get back home .....
Lisa William (FL)
" But how ? Would touching the flask do it again ? .... "
As she pondered that possibility she heard footsteps in the corridor outside the chamber .....
Lisa William (FL)
( Moved quickly to the door )
Lisa William (FL)
( Pressed her ear to it )
It would be wise to discover everything she could about her environment .....
Duncan Douglas(ML BF)
Do you think he'll do it ? ....
There was a long silence , then a sigh so loud that it carried through the thick wood .....
Galan Douglas(ML BF)
I believe so . He does not take oaths lightly and knows the woman must die .....
Galan Douglas(ML BF)
Nothing can come in the way of our aim , Duncan .....
Galan Douglas(ML BF)
That bàstard Edward must be defeated , Gantrick will be free and oaths sworn must be honored . He will kill her ....
As the steps faded down the corridor , Lisa leaned limply against the door ....
There was no doubt in her mind exactly which woman they'd meant .....
Lisa William (FL)
" Edward ? Gantrick ? 1314 ? ... Oh my God ! i didn't just merely traveled through time , i had been thrown into the middle of the most great war in Gantrick history ! .... "
Lisa William (FL)
" He Will ... Kill .. Me .. "
