Acting Fast

I feel I can surely trust. The King. I’m certain that he is someone who will willingly help hisson.I just need to request the correct herbs that will help him. I’m sure the castle will have them.I leave the room and turn to the guards. “Can you please mind-link the Alpha King? I must speak to him. urgently.”My heart’s thumping as I watch him mind link after giving me a nod. These men were chosen by Zedkiel and if he trusts them, then so do I.“The King is coming; he’s asking if everything is ok? We can pass a message.”“No, I’ll wait for him.” I say with a nod, crossing my arms as I look down the hallway, feeling useless standing here.After a few moments, I glance at the door. Should I go inside and check if Zedkiel is ok?I’m about to open the door when I hear footsteps and turn to see Alpha Ambrose approaching.“Is everything ok Evangeline dear?” He asks in concern.“I… I need some herbs.” I say, glancing sideways at the guards.“Which ones?” Alpha Ambrose asks.“May we walk?” I ask, not wanting the guards to overhear.Alpha Ambrose glances at the men before motioning for me to fall into step beside him.

But what if something happened to Zedkiel and no one is able to do anything because they don’t know or care enough to find out what he needs… “There are three poisons that are the most commonly used against vampires and going by how Zedkiel was coughing up dark blood I think it’s vervain.”“You are correct… I will simply escort you, I’m glad you know exactly what you are doing.”I’m unsure about exactly… but I am certain I have a good idea.We cross through the courtyards heading to the far end. “Grandmother Philomena made sure I was well educated in such matters.” I explain when the guards
