I sent a letter to Denis letting him know I was sick. I had heard there was a sickness going around and wanted to talk to him before anything worse happened to me. My rash was getting worse and my breathing hard against the pain of my cough.
I hoped he would come soon, the doctor had said that I was very ill, bed ridden and he feared I'd get worse.

I would visit Tempeste first before moving on to Noelle's home to make sure she was alright. I was still feeling very ill but I was careful to eat, then sleep and then venture out on my way. It may have seemed silly but I felt better doing it in that order.
I pushed open the door to find a stund maid standing then curtsied.
"Lord Denis, its been so long." She said in almost a gasp.
"My sister, where is she?" I asked after nodding to her.
"In her room sire, she is quite unwell." I nodded again and went up the stares as hurriedly as possible despite how I felt.
"Tempeste?" I knocked on the door and pushed it open a bit.

"In here." I called out seeing Denis enter.
"Denis." I said softly as he came toward me. "You're here, are you ill?"

I walked toward her and stopped, kneeling by her bed. A red rash covered her arms and part of her neck. "I am, but I'm not too poorly." I leaned over and took her hand in mine. "How are you?" She was sweating and her eyes bulged a little with pain.

I smiled a little, coughing as I did, and squeezed his hand. "I'm...I'm not doing well." I said softly. "The healer said that I could not leave the bed until my fever has broken." I coughed again.
"Listen Denis, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have left you, I shouldn't have treated you so poorly. Please forgive me."

I lowered my head as I listened to her, feeling both furiously anger and appologetic and soft. My childhood had been spent bouncing me from my aunt and uncle's to my parents, feeling like no one wanted me.
"Its alright, I forgive you sister." I managed to say before looking back at her. "I wasn't exactly innocent."

I shook my head. "You were innocent Denis, that was the point. After our parents died I blamed you." I said bluntly. "I show have never, it wasn't your fault." I forced a smiled. "And for that I'm sorry." I swallowed, a horrible pain in my stomach almost forced me to wretch, but I managed to keep myselt stilled. "What ever happens, please know I love you."

I closed my eyes and looked down trying not to cry at her words. To my surprise they hid me had and I was not truly worried about her. Some how her being sick out trumped what ever anger I had left for her. I had come to the city to get over my parents, to get over my anger and hate. I had suceeded, taking on a new life. Noelle had been part of that. She reminded me of why life meant. Harsh, yet forgiving, loving and firm. I looked at Tempeste. "I love you too sister." I said softly.

I smiled softly. "I should sleep." I said softly. "Thank you for coming."

I nodded. "Sleep well sister." I said leaning over and kissing her forehead gently before rising and hurrying out of the room. I couldn't bare it any longer.
By the time I reached the front door I had composed myself and willed that my relationship with Tempeste would be better after this. Something I had always wanted but never wanted to admit to.
I hurried off down the road to Noelle's town house now though, I had to put Tempeste to the back of my mind for now and make sure Noelle was alright.
