Eliza was gone too long. I tracked her down to the bathroom and found her lying on the floor, moaning.
“Eliza!” I scooped her into my arms and shook her gently.
She groaned and her head lolled to the side.
“Eliza? Wake up, my love.” I patted her face gently.
She just groaned and turned in my arms.
Panic rose in my chest. What happened to her?
There was a yellow powder all over her face and shirt. This wasn’t good. She had a foreign substance on her and was stuck in some unconscious state.
It reminded me too much of how Lena had been when she was poisoned.
I needed to get Eliza to the White Queen.
I got her into the back of the car. “We need to get to King Xander and Queen Lena right now, double time!”
The driver peeled away from the curb and sped through the streets.
Lena and Xander weren’t that far. They were staying in Winter Forest. The driver pulled up in front of their hotel. I tossed him a tip and carried Eliza inside. I went straight for the front desk.
