As she dueled that night, the dizziness was worse. Cramps came hard and fast.. She shook it off..

She couldn't be pregnant.. not yet..

Finally.. as her last duel ended.. she bowed to Gnort.. she felt herself pitch forward.. Gnort caught her before she fell to the floor with a thud.

"What is it Tele?" She heard Gnort's voice..

"Dizzy.." Tele gasped..

A crowd gathered about her.. questions.. everyone faded in and out.. cramps.. faint..

Gnort picked her up.. carried her to the callers couch..

"Tele.. what is it?" it was Luth.. Tele spoke to Luth's ear.. to her she could only mention this..

"I think I'm pregnant.. and something's terribly wrong."

She heard Luthien gasp.. "Sister y' be miscarrin'."

She heard Luthien speak as if she were in a tunnel.. to Iain she supposed..

Miscarriage? No.. not Ero's baby.. She felt tears in her eyes.. No.. not this.. But she couldn't be pregnant.. there had to be another reason. Denial.. reason flip-flopped in her head. Eros gone away on a journey, what would he think?

She felt a hand on her shoulder.. the room wavered.. and suddenly she was in the Tynsdale Manor house..
in a strange bed.. Evidently alerted to her coming, servants were already gathering. An arm slide under her and lifted her to a sitting position..

"Drink this.." a soft voice.. Tele couldn't make out the face.. all was blurred and out of focus.

A bitter draught poured down her throat before she could protest.. she coughed then the arm allowed her to lay down... she slipped into darkness.. and deep sleep.
