Fifty eight

Derek heard Kathleen scream, he jerked awake and touched her side of the bed and discovered it was cold, she probably must have been gone for a while. he rushed towards the sound and gasped when he saw her at the foot of the stairs, unconscious. "No, no, no, don't even think of leaving me," he muttered as he ran down the stairs and carried her in his arms trying to wake her up, he tapped her cheek but got no response from her, "guards," he screamed, and some guards came running at his sound, from the look on their face they had been asleep, "how could you sleep why on duty?"

"What's going on here?" Marcella's voice got to his ears and she gasped when she saw Kathleen, "oh no, is she dead?" She whispered covering her mouth with her hands and Derek shot her a deadly glare before turning back to Kathleen.
