Chapter 17 Love

    Kevin and I were sitting face to face, his eyes were closed. He was trying to talk to Marilynn. I can’t tell if it was working.

    He opened his eyes, I saw Marilynn talking to her mother, Marilynn close to Terrian’s side. Terrian wasn’t crying, but he looked so close to.

    “-help?” I come back to Kevin.

    “Did you say something?” I ask him.

    “Well, I guess it doesn’t matter, you saw something, what did you see Autumn?” He gives me a sad grin.

    “Queen Madelyn is talking to Princess Marilynn.” I reply.

    “Is Terrian there?” He gives me a worried look, the woman he loved cannot be trusted anymore, it must depress him.

    I nod, “Yes, Sir, and he’s still upset by my departure.” I bow my head.

    Kevin chuckles, “You need to stop being so proper.” I look up. Kevin is grinning at me. I blush a little and stand up. I stretch my arms and yawn, Kevin looks at me.

    “I met another person here, when you’re tired, you are usually close to passing on.” The other guy, he had black hair, brown eyes, Father!

    “That man, what was his name?” I asked.

    Kevin lays back and thinks, “I think it was, Scott, yes, it was Scott.”

    “That was my father, so, he did pass on.” I grin and look up, at blackness, no blue sky, my grin fades away quickly.

    “So, you’re the little Autumn who paid her little brother to do her math homework.” He smirks at me.

    I laugh and look at him, “Big mistake, back then Terrian couldn’t even count to two.” Kevin’s smile disappeared, as does mine.

    “I’m sorry, I miss my little girl.” He stands up and starts walking.

    I walk with him, “How did you die?” I ask again.

    “Madelyn, with the influence of Jace I believe.” He keeps his head straight forward.

    I stopped walking, and had to hurry to catch him.

    “You still love her don’t you?” I ask. He nods.

    “I couldn’t live without her.”
