Faith Be Changed

The lady Esther had just laid the children to sleep. As she gathers her thoughts of what the Lord may be doing, she walks the hall that leads to his bedchamber. She rounds the corner and cannot believe what she sees. Her legs felt like iron. She tried to speak, but her voice was as quiet as a mouse. It did not seem to catch their attention, for they were lost in each other's eyes. The candle light in the hall was enough to see one another well, for they seemed as if they were in love. She finally manages to move a little. The stone beneath her foot made a sound that made them both turn their heads and see her standing there. He was stunned to see her stand there. He wonders how much she has seen of the two. She felt betrayed by the one she called her friend, lover, husband, and the father of their children. He tried to reach her, but she stepped out of his reach for she was able to move her body and run back the way she came. Tears run down her face as she tries to get back to her room, but she is suddenly stopped by a figure who is standing in front of her, holding his hand out. She hears a voice speak to her, but his lips do not move. "Come with me, for you will be in no more pain, no more sadness. But utter happiness." She moves slowly, reaching her hand to his. Than someone behind her says, "my Lady get away from him!" She turns fast and sees Captain a few steps behind her: running to her, trying to reach her. But is not fast enough, for he wrapped himself around her, drawing her close to him. With the sound of cracking thunder outside shining bright in the window next to them, the Lady and man were gone. Where did they go?
