Original X-roads-2003

    “We should all probably get rooms here.” I stood up and started to walk to the hallway. Everyone followed me, each going to a different room. I searched for the Emperors room, it was just as I thought it would be, lavishly set up.
    I half laughed and turned around to find another room.
    There were several rooms with just beds in them and that was all. He didn’t believe in furnishings at all did he, I sighed and laid down on the bed. I laid my arm over my face, there was a light knock.
    I glanced up at Jamie, “Yeah?”
    He walked in and sat on the edge of the bed. “Whut’s happenin Jas?”
    I glanced at him, “I really don’t know. Things are moving so fast, I don’t know what to think anymore.”
    A worried look crossed his face, “Guezz we all need time alone for thiz one.”
    “Yeah.” I frowned. “I guess this time we really do.”
    Jamie walked out, I fell into a deep sleep. Too much responsibility.
    It was late at night when I was awoke, “Mmmm,” I groaned. “Who is it, go away.” I rolled over.
    “Get up.” Cold words chilled me.
    I rolled my eyes, it could only be Sertoff. I sat up, “What do you want?”
    “Follow me.” he stood up and walked out of the room.
    I thought about for a minute before actually getting up and following him into Kiljis’ old bedroom.
    “Sit down.”
    I sat on the bed.
    “I want us to sleep in the same bed from now on.”
    “No.”
