Chapter 13: Confessions

Annabelle

I sat on my bed, thinking of what has happened to Grandmother in the last week. She was released from the hospitable three days ago, and had been going to bed early to regain the energy she had lost from her stroke. The doctor had told William, Kate, Harry, and I that it was almost a near death stroke, and that she was very lucky to not be dead. He hadn’t told us what exactly had caused the stroke, just to be on the watch with Grandmother. William had ordered three guards to keep watch on her at all times, in case Grandmother happened to have another stroke.

Letting out a sigh, I lied down on my bed and closed my eyes. It was almost 11 at night, but I honestly wasn’t really tired, just tired of everything that has occurred in the last month or so. Last night, the news did a short story on me and my messed up life. Nicholas had told an “inside source” that we were engaged, but broke off the engagement. Just having that off my chest made me slightly better, but not for very long. William found out that the engagement was off by finding out like the rest of the world, and he was furious.

It now seemed that William and I fought almost every day; we couldn’t even be in the same room without getting into a heated argument. But, before I could think about that any more, Bella, my female five-month-old Golden Retriever, wined, wanting to be let outside. I got up from my bed and decided to also take Dallas with me, my two-year-old male German Shepherd, so he could also be let out. I grabbed two balls before walking out of my room; my dogs followed me, their paws being heard throughout the hallway.

“Would you like me to take the dogs outside, your Majesty?” one of the guards asked me.

“No thank you, I’ve got it, Andrew.” I told him.

Andrew nodded his head and returned to his position at the top of the stairs.

Walking passed the kitchen; I grabbed a few doggie treats before letting Bella and Dallas outside to do their business. Once they were done, they came running up to me to play. I threw one ball pretty far and Dallas happily chased after it. Bella was a smart little puppy and I think that she smelled the treats I had. Laughing, I took one of the treats from my pocket and held it up over Bella.

“Bella, sit.” I commanded. She sat, and looked up at me with her big puppy dog eyes. “Good girl. Now, Bella lay.” Bella laid and I complimented her again.

“Bella, roll over.” She rolled over, and I threw her the treat.

Dallas came back and I played fetch with him and continued doing tricks with Bella, and eventually throwing the ball with her.  After both of the dogs were tired, we went back inside and went up to my room. Both dogs went over to their beds and lie down, their eyes closing within minutes. I quickly changed into my pajamas and was about to go to bed when I heard Kate calling my name.

“Annabelle?” Kate called. She almost sounded as if she was in pain.

Fear struck me as I quickly ran to her bedroom. Was Kate now having afternoon sickness, after she had just been released from the hospitable from morning sickness? Once I was in Kate and William’s room, I found Kate on their bed with her eyes closed tight, looking like she was in pain. Without even thinking, I ran over to her, grabbing her hand.

“Do you need me to call the doctor?” I quickly asked.

Kate shook her head. “No, I just need an Advil. I have a massive headache.”
