*End of an Era: In the Shadows*
Everything seems to ache and she can hear someone talking nearby, two someone’s.
“I came as soon as I heard- is she going to be okay?” It’s a female voice, familiar somehow and Tarja tries to place it.
Someone’s hand runs down the side of her face and Tarja moves away weakly, not wanting to be touched at the moment. She wants to be left alone, to sink back into the comforting velvet darkness. “The doctors said she will be, but she lost a lot of blood before I found her…”
More footsteps and the sound of a door slamming as someone else shushes them. “What happened? Was it…”
“Suicide?” Jason asks, voice thick. “It was an attempt- she sent me an email before with… I’m not meant to say about what she’s doing with her career now; she didn’t want anyone to know yet.”
“Sanctuary?” Someone asks from the sidelines, still so familiar and she struggles to remember who it is- Radu?
The bed compresses slightly as someone sits beside her, “what’s Sanctuary?” Asks the female- Sharon! Tarja realises with a start, recognising Sharon’s soft voice speaking. Who else is here? Is it only Radu, Sharon and Jason?
She hears a sigh, “just keep it quiet, she doesn’t want the public knowing,” Jason says before taking a deep breath. “Have you heard about the new novel Sanctuary? Released about a week ago and it’s already climbing the bestsellers list?” A thrill runs through Tarja, she hadn’t known her novel was doing that well! “Tarja wrote it and two other books. That’s the reason I went to her house, she sent me the other two manuscripts and, when I tried to reach her, she wasn’t answering her phone…”
“Surely she’s not always available?” Sharon asks, her tone slightly amused.
“She only has a cell phone so I wouldn’t normally think it was strange. But the last time I’d spoken to her about the novels, she told me that she didn’t want me to read them until she was ready to publish. She wanted them to be released once a year.” Jason sighs and a hand brushes her cheek again.
The person on the edge of her bed shifts and Raphael’s voice floats over to her, “we only dropped her off one and a half hours before you called…”
Sound seems to fade out for a little while and Tarja drifts in a sea of dreams, feeling free and at peace for the first time since Nightwish broke up. Since everything in her life started to go wrong.
“I seen her through the window, there was blood everywhere… I can’t even remember what happened after that, but the police said that I must have broken the lock on her door to get in…” Jason’s voice trails off and Tarja hears a sob, a hand brushing over her hair gently, their skin cool against her cheek.
“Jason, Radu, Raphael, Robert and Sharon… you five need to go and get some sleep. I’ll stay with her tonight, the nurses have already agreed that someone can be with her at all times,” another female voice says.
Footsteps sound and the door closes once more as Sharon speaks, “are you sure, Vibeke? Who’ll stay with you?”
A chair scrapes across the floor loudly and Sharon giggles as a few people make a loud shushing noise, Radu chuckling darkly. “Lauri and Janne are coming…” Vibeke answers, “plus, they might come.”
“They might, but I wouldn’t hold my breath,” Radu growls, sounding rather dangerous, “This is all their fault, they left her in this mess.”
“It’s no one’s fault, Radu,” Sharon chastises gently, her tone clearly telling him to drop it. “No one knew that this was going to happen and you can’t really blame anyone for it. She’s upset and no one knew that she was going to do this… No one knew what she planning to do when she got home…’
Lips touch her forehead gently and when Radu speaks next, he seems to be further away, although she could be wrong. “We asked her to join the band,” he murmurs.
“I thought you would,” Vibeke says calmly before Sharon can respond.
Someone sighs and Raphael says, “She said that she needed time to think about it, we thought she was getting on with her life… Trying to start again…”
“I know. Come on, we should get some sleep- we’ll come back tomorrow,” Sharon said and the men give a general murmur of agreement. “You going to be okay until the boys arrive?” Sharon asks, most likely talking to Vibeke.
Minutes pass in silence and Tarja continues to drift in the realm between dreams and waking. Maybe this is where Tuomas came up with Nightwish?
Why can’t she be left alone?!
“Tarja? Tarja, I don’t know if you can hear me, but we’re all really worried about you. We want you to wake up, darling, we want you to get better,” Vibeke murmurs. “We’re all here for you, Tarja.”
Drifting back into the darkness, Tarja doesn’t hear anything else for quite some time…
