No One Nor Thing Is Truly Dead722Please respect copyright.PENANAmNUddyNFtd
she was surprised to see no one. Where you would expect to see a person, was a shining object. From a distance, you would think it was a rock. Camila thought it was worth a shot to see what that shining object was and ventured to the garden. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAUWiMiweoV8
Once in the garden, Camila searched for the rock. "Why didn't I bring a coat?" thought Camila. She just then realized that it was cold at night and she was wearing her bed robe. Then, Camila heard the footsteps of people. Camila quickly fled behind one of the pillars. The owners of those footsteps were Lord Henry and the king. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAg6grJhyOnn
It seemed that the king was angry with Lord Henry. From that position, Camila couldn't hear anything of what the king and Lord Henry were saying. However, she could see the king flaring his arms and hatred in Lord Henry's eyes. Lord Henry apparently said something that made the king fall back. The king put his hand over his mouth and had the face of someone who saw a ghost. 722Please respect copyright.PENANADgt9qpXnmE
Lord Henry snickered then walked away from the king in victory. A common fool could see that whatever Lord Henry said was the beginning of his awful plans. The king soon recovered some strength and exited the garden. Camila continue her hunt for the object once the two of them were no where in sight. 722Please respect copyright.PENANANg1Xkt0fyz
Camila finally found the object, but it wasn't anything she expected. The object was a piece of steel shaped as a dove. On the bottom of the dove wrote, "For my dearest Camila, my our love fly - Lord Reynold." Camila didn't know what this meant. Lord Reynold had left, how come this was here? 722Please respect copyright.PENANALblXMMgaeP
Camila took the dove and went back into her bedchambers. Camila put the dove on the stand next to her bed and went to sleep. Her dreams were filled with the possibilities of what could have happened to Lord Reynold. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAu3TxAH5RWq
The next morning, Camila joined Elizabeth and Lily in the garden. Elizabeth had a worried expression on her face. She looked as if she learned that she was going to die. Lily had what Camila would call a deep in thought, but neutral expression. She didn't look sad or have any other emotions, she was fixed on Elizabeth. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAappiZCHzNc
"What happened to Elizabeth?" asked Camila. Lily looked up to Camila, for Lily was shorter than her, then looked back at Elizabeth. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAsR2nbCs9bg
"Everyone knows." said Elizabeth. 722Please respect copyright.PENANApccE2ZBH5g
"Knows what? What is wrong with you Elizabeth?" asked Camila. She didn't know at all what was happening. Elizabeth roughly grabbed Camila's and Lily's hand and took them to her bedchambers. After locking the door and closing the windows, Elizabeth explained what had happened. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAp30D5gDa1w
"Some how everyone in court knows of my pregnancy. Everyone is disgusted of me. The only people that knew of me being pregnant were you and Lily." whispered Elizabeth. Elizabeth remembered that Lord Henry knew of it, but she didn't tell Lily. She wanted Lily to confess her sins to her. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAR38S6IsXu8
Lily's face changed to a sorrowful one. She remembered that Lord Henry knew of the pregnancy, from her. If Lord Henry was the one to tell, she would have her head. Her family would go to ruins. She and her fiancé were to be traitors to England. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAz3nrIFnuIh
Camila looked at Lily suspiciously. Camila knew that Lily would never tell Elizabeth what she did. Camila couldn't take this any longer. Lily must be punished for her sins. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAycwnm9wWmL
"Elizabeth, last night I saw Lord Henry and the king talking in the garden." said Camila. "I couldn't tell what they were saying, but I know it was something shocking. Could it be of your pregnancy?" 722Please respect copyright.PENANA9B00wceaph
"What were you doing in the garden at night?" asked Lily suspicious of Camila. If she had to go down, she sure was going to bring someone down with her. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAuYnRZUhikz
"I wasn't doing anything that concerned you." said Camila harshly to Lily. Lily rolled her eyes at Camila and looked at Elizabeth.722Please respect copyright.PENANAqOi2eMwmCy
"Camila, you might be right. What would Lord Henry get out of this though?" asked Elizabeth. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAFBWqR6h3gQ
"Why would you think Lord Henry had anything to do with this?" asked Lily. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAvPai6aTOnq
"Lord Henry knew of the pregnancy." screamed Camila at Lily. "Yeah, we know that you have been feeding him our secrets." 722Please respect copyright.PENANAGF4OVUYc9g
"Why would I do such a thing?" asked Lily defensively. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAWmgEmoPy51
"Girls stop. Lily wouldn't do anything to hurt us. She is our friend." said Elizabeth who truly believed this. She and Lily had been friends forever, she couldn't expect Lily to be selfish enough to jus feed people her secrets. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAkAapsbGmGr
Soon the meeting was over. Lily rushed to get a carriage. Once she got it, she rode to Lord Henry's home. Lily ran with all her might, Lily ran into the lord's home and found him fixing his clothes. "Lily, what brings you here on such a lovely day?" asked the lord. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAYEI5n3lIYN
"We must leave quickly." said Lily. Lily grabbed the lord's arm and tried to make him follow her, but was a fail. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAilu6sAzlhx
"What do you mean, Lily?" asked the lord. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAXeMLKgugMm
"Elizabeth knows that you told the king about Elizabeth's pregnancy." said Lily out of breath from all of that running. "We must go quickly." 722Please respect copyright.PENANAQh0KG17C4s
"What makes you think that I did all of that?" asked Lord Henry innocently. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAggGzjCo0tD
"Don't play dumb with me. I know it was you." said Lily harshly. "Lets go before Elizabeth gets her men."722Please respect copyright.PENANA31IpsYJRjl
Lord Henry fled with Lily to his vacation home in Italy. They took the carriage that Lily used to get to the lord's house and made the coach never say a word of their departure to anyone. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAES07PRFqGf
Back at court, Camila went to find out all she could about Lord Henry. She made her way quietly into his study. When she was younger, her father taught her how to be a master thief. For, when he was younger he had to steal to get food for his siblings. Camila found a chest that Lord Henry had next to his desk. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAS8P4vY3oF7
Inside the chest, there were many documents. Camila quickly scanned all of the documents. Camila found a document that matched what she was looking for at the end. She found where Lord Henry was signing contracts with the enemies of Rome for land!722Please respect copyright.PENANAlxsD7IYlzg
Camila took the document and fled the study. Now the problem was where would she hide them. She couldn't put it in her room, Lord Henry would look there. Then it hit her. She should put it behind the photo of the royal family above their thrones. That night, Camila hid the document behind the portrait. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAkiZwy1SDXM
Afterward, she was very exhausted and went to sleep. She suddenly was awoken from the sound of knocking on the window like the ones she heard the night before. Camila opened the window and was surprised to see a person. 722Please respect copyright.PENANAC1ea4Qg4Kc
That person was Lord Reynold. Camila's heart was about to jump out of her body. "Camila!" he exclaimed. "You finally answered my calls. What changed your mind?" 722Please respect copyright.PENANARaj6GZmnVn
Camila told him to wait one minute then she went to meet him in the garden. "What do you mean I finally answered your calls?" asked Camila once she finally was in the garden. "You left Rome before I could talk to you." 722Please respect copyright.PENANAgK5uBsYhvm
"What are you talking about? Some days ago, I went to the castle to tell you something important but your majesty said you didn't want to talk to me. Every day since then I went to talk to you, but the same answer was given." said Lord Reynold. "Then, your majesty said I was banned from this castle."722Please respect copyright.PENANACL6LVG4Fwz
"Lord Reynold, who said I didn't want to talk to you?" asked Camila. 722Please respect copyright.PENANATCJ0ye5Rto
"Elizabeth." 722Please respect copyright.PENANAO8we1KsdqT
