“My Lady? I don’t know
what to do. I don’t know what else...I think we need to call for help.”
“Where is she? I can’t see
her.”
“She’s fine, my Lady.
She’s sleeping, right over there. Can you see her?”
“Bring her to me. I want
to hold her.”
“My Lady, you have lost
too much blood. We need to get you to a hospital or something. Please.”
“Star, it’s already too
late. You know it. We can’t call for help. We have to keep her safe. She’s all
that’s left. She is worth that and so much more. God, I am so tired. Please
bring her to me.”
“My Lady...“
“Even now Star, after all
these years, can’t you just be my friend?”
“I will always be your
friend, my Lady, but you will always be my Queen. Even now, even later, that
will never change. Here she is. Do you have her?”
“I’ve got her. Please
don’t hover over me, Star. I’m alright. Look how beautiful she is. Can you
believe Malcolm and I made something so beautiful?”
“Yes, I can. She looks
like you. She has your hair, all golden and soft. She has your mouth too. Don’t
you think?”
“Yes. Oh God, I want to
hold on to her forever. I never want to let her go. Star, you have to promise
me that you will keep her safe. Whatever you have to do, you have to keep her
safe. Promise me.”
“No, my Lady, we will keep
her safe. You and I together.”
“No, Star, this burden
will fall to you. You already see the truth of it, right here in front of your
eyes. I’m just so tired. Here, you’d better take her. Bye, my baby girl. I love
you so.
Star, promise me. You’ve
done all you can here. All that is left is her. Malcolm is gone, and I…”
“Stop it! You can’t just
give up! Don’t laugh! Can’t you see that it’s tearing me apart? I can’t do this
without you.”
“Star, I’m not laughing. I
promise you. There just isn’t anything I can do to stop it. You can do this. I
believe in you. Star?”
“Yes. My Lady?”
“Promise.”
“All right. I promise I
will do everything I can to keep her safe.”
“Do you think you will
ever return?”
“I don’t know. Everything
is changed now. Our whole world has changed.”
“Star?”
“Yes?”
“Stay safe. You have
always been my very best friend. I don’t know what I would have done without
you. Thank you, so much, for everything.”
“My Lady...“
“Keep her safe...“
