Title: Black Poppies (I of II?)
Rating: G
Length: 322
Competitor: Dom
Round/Fight: 2/B
Summary: Kel Gets sick (the sweating sickness?)
Kel seemed like she would be the last person to fall sick. She so strong and independent Dom thought. But that year when the summer came and everyone began to get sick Kel did too. Neal was the first person who noticed, she had been walking around a week, still working and doing her job. She steadily got paler and wasn’t eating properly. Neal, though exhausted from healing others, seemed to gain a bit of fervor when Kel got sick.
Dom could tell that Kel loathed being as weak as she was, she could hardly move, and her body would break out in sweat. So Dom took it upon himself to take care of her, Neal would be fine leaving her with him. So Dom stayed nights, and put up with her grumblings of being useless as he tried to feed her. He was there in the mornings when she woke up, and he was there to tease and put a smile on her face when she got too tired to complain anymore. Eventually, he stayed unless he was needed elsewhere. He held her hand and slept next to her. Not even when the horns sounded, welcoming more members of the King’s Own, did he go to greet them.
When Kel’s eyes opened to the light around her she involuntarily shrunk back. She could make out talking, and kept her eyes closed. She knew the last week or two Dom had been treating her as if she was made of glass, and as nice as it sometimes felt, it had thoroughly annoyed her. She could hear Neal’s voice, and what for some reason sounded like Raoul the thought that perhaps she was hallucinating occurred to her before she fell back asleep.
Dom was talking to Raoul when Kel woke up the next time. When she opened her eyes their talking stopped. “Well hello there.” Her former Knight Master said with a smile.
{Black Poppies are a halucigen, and also used in some cultures as a pain killer. But also a sign of Death and tragedy. Just incase you were interested in the tittle}
