My first death
The butler sat inside quietly, hands on the table.
A single lamp glimmered next to him.

(I want to ask him who sent him here)
Damien Gilbert (ML)
You know that didn't go well last time
Samara Everhart (FL)
*eyes snap open*
The tall ceiling loomed over me, bringing with it a sense of familiarity
Samara Everhart (FL)
(Was this...my room?)
Samara Everhart (FL)
*jolts up, horrified*
Samara Everhart (FL)
Wait, hadn't I died??
The clock chimed. I looked at the time. It was 7 o'clock.
Samara Everhart (FL)
*Frowns*
Samara Everhart (FL)
(Is this déjà vu?)
Samara Everhart (FL)
I feel like I had woken up at the exact same time a while back...
But I knew I had died. A gardener had snuck into my room and killed me. Was it a nightmare?
Samara Everhart (FL)
Martha!
Martha (FL's maid)
Yes, my lady
Samara Everhart (FL)
Is there a gardener here with brown hair and crooked teeth?
Martha (FL's maid)
You mean Flint?
Samara Everhart (FL)
Yes, find him and take him to the dungeons
Martha (FL's maid)
W-what?
Samara Everhart (FL)
*glares* Don't make me repeat myself!
Martha (FL's maid)
*panics and leaves*
The gardener had been caught. He sat quietly, a lamp flickering next to him.
A gardener
My lady, why am I here?
Samara Everhart (FL)
*frowns*
Samara Everhart (FL)
(His family has been working here for generations. Did he really kill me or was it just a nightmare?)
Samara Everhart (FL)
(Better be sure than dead)
Samara Everhart (FL)
Who hired you?
A gardener
*Shocked* My lady?
Samara Everhart (FL)
Don't play dumb with me. You know I can hire people to find out. Spill the truth and you will be pardoned.
A gardener
*eyes narrow into a glare*
Suddenly he lunged at me. With lightning speed, he took out a knife from under his sleeve and pinned me to the floor
A gardener
If you move, I'll kill her
A gardener
*laughs manically*
A gardener
Pardon me, my lady
He placed his knife against my throat and used me to escape
I had survived and changed my staff. But was bedridden for days.
When the next assassin came, I was too crippled to move. My death was painful
Samara Everhart (FL)
*stares at the butler*
Butler
*Glaring at her* My lady, why am I here?
Samara Everhart (FL)
(If I threaten him, I'll get stabbed)
Samara Everhart (FL)
(Let's try a different approach)
