"Did he…?" Connor asked, touching her neck.
"No! Dad! Wouldn't I be dead by now then? " Vicky said, holding his hand. She sighed, and asked "Why can't I sleep?"
"Because… because I need you," Connor said. He then looked at Vicky's wound, and continued stitching it.
"What if she takes over again?" Vicky asked. She closed her eyes, and opened them again.
Vicky was in a different place. She was in the game. She was outside the palace. Vicky looked around. The place looked the same.
While Vicky contemplated how she got into the game, a large party of King Gunter's men, and civilians from another city arrived.
A soldier climbed down from his horse, and walked into the palace. The civilians stood in line without saying a single word to each other.
Vicky moved aside, when the king walked out with the soldier.
