When I come to. I'm laying down.
I can smell the grass around me. It's dark and I can't see much.
As I sit up. The pain in the head explodes.
I clutch it as I look around me.
I'm in the rose garden. I'm home.
He. Whoever he was brought me back.
I get up and rush to the door and pounds on it.
No one comes. I almost leave.
The doors open and a disheveled Count races out. Pajamas and all.
As soon as he sees me. I'm rushed into his arms.
I can feel his heart. It's pounding hard. Probably from running.
"Where were you?"
"I thought you had died!"
"It's been a week!"
All his shouts melt into the night as I slip away.
Too tired and exhausted to answer or stand.
I barely remember him picking me up and walking inside.
