2021-07-30 09:17:43Larissa hated the incinerator. She had been one of the few people allowed down in the basement under the science wing. It had been specially made for the school as one of the few dump sites for the animals they used for the dissection part of some of the classes. It was the place that other schools also could use. Though this was rare that they would even start it this early in the school year.
Larissa didn’t know why the older woman wanted to use it, though. She was sometimes a little off on her timing. Though she did always have a reason why. Larissa didn’t care too much in the end. Gabe walked into the room behind her after a few minutes.
“I am sorry for that.” He said softly. “I have no idea why she is that way.”
“Probably because you accused her of cheating earlier,” Larissa said as she turned up the gas of it to light. Then she turned it back down to get it going a

She received a phone call about six hours later from the hospital. It seemed a bad accident had happened on the highway, and the casualties were too much for the staff they had. She rolled out of bed, knowing that she had to wake up enough to drive to the hospital herself. After a quick change, she was dressed in her favorite scrubs and had a cup of coffee ready for the trip.The hospital road was completely backed up. She saw it well before she was close to the hospital and then adjusted the way she drove in. She switched directions and went in the back way that most people didn’t know about. She had to park in the last row of the staff parking. There were more cars there than she had ever seen. That was her first clue that this was not going to be good.She went in and saw the overflow from the emergency department in the lobby and on the street in the front of the building. When she got up, and she pulled her hair u

Larissa didn’t want to start her shift this way. She knew it was going to be a super long night. An hour or so later, as she had five rooms going at the same time as she was supervising the students and the other pathologist in all they were doing to do this as fast as they could to clear the hallways. She went back to the conference room and was surprised to find them still in the room with George, who was going over the release to the funeral home and everything they would need to do.She smiled as she walked in and nodded to George. Gabe walked up in the back of her, “Thank you for giving her the time.”“You all need it.” She said as she looked up at him. “Do you need me to call someone?”“No. My brothers are on their way. I called them already. They are scattered all over the

The two sat mostly in silence as they drank their coffee, and every once in a while, Larissa would glance out of the window toward the school and saw the smoke rising above the trees. She felt the plummet in her chest as she didn’t want to think about it anymore. She looked at him, who was now looking at his cell phone waiting for something to arrive, and somehow Larissa knew it would never come in.“I guess I have my answer,” Gabe said as she looked up to Larissa from staring at his screen.“With? “Larissa asked.“She is definitely cheating on me,” Gabe said. “I guess that shouldn’t surprise me. I was just the latest victim in her long line.”“Maybe something else happened. Like someone she knew was also in the accident. Maybe she has to deal with that.” Larissa countered. Thoug

Larissa looked at him as she stopped the car. She really just wanted to drop him off and go home as she tried not to think of how this man affected her heart beating a little too fast. He was the only one that made her brain go blank for a moment when she first glanced at him. Her whole way of being was by herself though she never thought of anything different as well. She had her way of peeling the skin off people when she looked at them. This one made her forget how, though.She knew he was trouble for her. He looked at her with his piercing blue eyes. They were hypnotizing to her. She had to clear out her throat. He blinked his eyes. “Come inside?” his voice seemed to echo throughout the car.“I don’t think that is a good idea.” She said softly. “It has been a night.”“Please.” He asked as he touched

“Then why?” she asked as he got out of the car. She was now very confused and didn’t understand why he would want her there at all, let alone after saying that he didn’t want to sleep with her. This was unlike anything that she had ever heard of since things like this didn’t happen to her regardless.“Larissa, I think you need to understand a few things.” He said as he took her hand after opening the car door. “Sometimes, it is the smallest things that will lead to everything.”“Don’t talk in riddles.” She said as she shook her head, knowing that he was going to continue to confuse her if he did. She didn’t like them. Her brain had always had a problem with them as she would try and figure them out and lose out on time for other things.“Come on.” He said as he gently pulled on her arm. She hit the

The time flew by, and even though the two of them spent the night on the couch, they both woke up to the alarm going off, knowing that somewhere a few hours ago, they both nodded off. Larissa looked at him as he blinked his eyes open. She was leaned up against him. She was still in her scrubs.“Wonderful.” She said as she looked at herself and then the time.“Well, you are a doctor. Wearing scrubs is fine, I would assume.” He said softly as he tucked a lock behind her ear. “I guess I should get ready, though. Do you want to ride in together?”“I should probably go in on my own. Even though I am only there for a month, I really don’t want to give anyone any things to say.” Larissa said as she looked at him.“Meaning?” he asked as his eyes tried to read her.“My brother work

“I am not the one who needs to grieve.” She said as she looked up to him, “You are.”“I think you have to as well.” He said as he pulled her close. She shook her head. “I think today got a little more difficult.”“For who?” she asked.“Everyone.” He said as he sighed. “Don’t worry about me, though. It will hit me later.”“Gabe.” She said. “Don’t fight it.”“Sweetheart, don’t worry about me.” He said again. When the door opened, and they moved apart quickly.“Where is Judy?” Mr. Vincent asked though he looked like he hadn’t slept either though he was not in the room when they walked in.“John was involved in the car accident last night.” Larissa said, “She wen

The day pressed on. Gabe left after the first class, but she could still feel his presence around her. It was the weirdest feeling. She went back to the office and stood outside the door after three periods. Larissa was only there to get coffee when she heard the voices coming from inside the office. She stopped and looked up. No one else was around.“This is a huge problem.” Mr. Vincent said as he sighed. He had always been the most level-headed person in the department. So to hear him like this was a surprise.“None of us can do the rest. That was always Judy’s job.” Mr. Mig, one of the lower grade science teachers, stated.“What are we going to do?” Someone else asked.Larissa knew it had to do with the incinerator and the fact they all looked so tired. Maybe she should offer again to clean it because that was the thing they must be talking about. It wouldn’t b

10When dinner was brought to the private rooms of the Master of the castle the three young women who did saw the couple on the back deck, they were wrapped up together deep in conversation to which none of them could hear. They glare at the woman who had just shown up with no warning, while their eyes rested on their lord the six of them softened.“I know what we have to do.“, one whispered.“What is that?“, the smallest of them asked.“A Yosei.“, the first young girl said.“That is a legend. She is just like you are me.“, the third girl spoke.“Look at her. She has the lord wrapped around her finger. She is Yosei. That is the only explanation.“, the first one hissed.“What do you plan on doing?“, the third asked.“We ha

9The announcement went as he expected. His people all loved her he could see that. That made him pleased as well. It was one thing he didn’t think he really cared about, but he did. She was now his intended bride. He did see the looks from some of the staff, the younger females, as he made the announcement within the castle’s walls. They were not happy with his choice. Though he meant to file that information away if any problems should arise he would know where to look, he was simply too happy to remember. He had done the unthinkable for himself, he had found a woman that wanted to stand next to him, not for the notoriety of it or the power of it, but one who wanted to be there.She had worn a traditional kimono for the announcement. Though it played with the

8It had been a quiet week for the two as he caught up with his own work as she had stepped in to help the staff with whatever needed to be done. Mitsuhide was watching her talk to the senior housekeeper on doing something a little different than they usually did it. As like every other time she had suggested something it went smoother and saved time. The head housekeeper was in awe of the tiny slip of a woman as were most. Except for a select few of the younger staff, everyone loved her, and they all had hoped an announcement would be made sooner rather than later.The longer he waited to make the announcement the closer it was that she would either leave or one of the other warlords would show up at the door and try to whisk her away. He was honestly surprised that it hadn’t happened yet. Hideyo

7“Do you see anything you wish to have?“, Mitsuhide asked as he followed her from stall to stall as she looked at everything.“Oh no, you have done too much already, Mitsuhide.“, she replied.“Have I?“, he asked. “I don’t see that I have. Do you like the colors in your room?”“The blue. Yes, it is my favorite.“, she replied.“You do not make it easy, Princess.“, he chuckled. “Let me get you something.”“Mitsuhide, I don’t need anything.’, she smiled.“Then I will have to guess, my dear.“, He said softly. The older man who was the stall keeper smiled knowingly at the exchange. He nodded to Mitsuhide and smiled softly toward the Princess.“Might I interest you in something My lord?&ldqu

6Usually an early riser Mitsuhide he often beat the others in the castle awake. After the night before he had allowed himself the comfort of sleeping until daybreak, but he was not the first awake. As he looked at the open door, he saw a shadow of the person who must be sitting out there. He at first wondered who it could be, it took only a few seconds for the realization to hit that it was her. When he rounded the corner, he saw her golden hair slightly wild, and her pale cheeks flushed from the slight wind. Her eyes widen and seemingly ready to learn. He could see the intelligence in them. She softly smiled. “The bed was much more comfortable than the ground.“, her voice soft.“Well, I should hope so.“, he replied. “What is that bag you hav

5“You know who I am?“, she asked as she looked at the man who was staring at her.“Should I?“, he asked.“You said you like you knew who I was.“, she said as she let her disappointment show.“You do not know who you are?“, he asked.“No, I do not. I hit my head last night. It must have been hard. I don’t know who I am or where I am.“, she stated. “The first thing I remember was looking at the lake in darkness. I can remember certain things but not others. I knew the sound of the horse, but not the name of it. I knew a sword and how to use it, but can’t remember how I know. The man who brought me here said it is uncommon for a woman to be able to do what I did.”“You killed three men?“, Mitsuhide asked.“Yes

4The morning light woke her from her slumber. She began to walk around a little further than she had the night before. She was still a little tired from whatever had brought her there to this place. She yet couldn’t name herself or where she was all she knew was she could get another fish when she was hungry. She looked at the lake again, sitting on a rock she watched over the water for what seemed a few minutes but when she looked up the sun was directly over. She worked the rest of the time to make a stronger shelter for the night.She was proud of the lean-to she had made. If she didn’t know where it was, she would have lost it. She lit another fire as she waded into the water and grabbed another fish. She repeated the process as the sun wa

3When she made it to her office an hour later as everyone had stopped her for the gruesome details of the night prior. She was disgusted with the behavior of the grown adults acting like school children waiting for the next piece of gossip. She forgot about the underside of how to be an adult. They were some unspoken accusations of maybe she didn’t do enough because she wanted the job that her boss had. This from a group of people who also could have jumped in and helped but did not.She hated them. Hated all of it. She went into the office and plugged in her drive. She uploaded the files and sat there looking as they were copied into the drive. She saved each one

2“What?“, he sister replied.“Come on I just had the day from hell just tell me what you need.“, the tiny woman replied.“Well, I kinda need to ask you for a favor.“, Susie started.“I figured as much.“, she replied.“Come on sis, you sound like dad when I ask him.“, Susie stated.“Suz, I just told you I had the day from hell. I really mean I had the day from hell. I’m tired, worn out, and well frankly I hurt like a mother-“, she started.“Come on now.“, her sisters normally calm voice went up an octave.“So what or how much do you need?“, she asked. Knowing this conversation was going to go around in circles for hours, and she wanted to sleep jus
