Shower Guest
DG knocked on Cain's door. In her arms were his hat and coat. She could hear someone on the other side of the door. The door opened. Cain stood in front of her. DG tried to hide her blush as her thoughts drifted back to last night.
Cain smiled, "Morning Princess."
"Good morning Cain." DG replied. "I brought your hat and your coat. They're completely dry now."
"Thanks." Cain said.
DG couldn't help but ask her next question. "Cain, are you...feeling ok?"
"Yeah. I'm fine." Cain answered.
DG noticed his skin was redder than usual. She looked at him for a minute. "It's just, last this morning I woke fine when last night-"
"So it did work?" Cain asked.
"Yes it did...and I'm worried you're sick now." DG finished.
"I'm fine kid. Don't worry about it." He put his hat on his head.
DG sighed. "Sorry Cain." She placed a hand on his forehead. His was burning up. DG's jaw dropped. "You're-"
Cain grabbed DG's hand and pulled her into his room. He shut the door and turned to her. "Quiet!"
"You have a higher fever than I did and you want me to be quiet?" DG asked. Is he high or extremely sick?
"The entire court doesn't need to know that I'm ill." Cain said. Why is she making a big deal out of this?
"The entire court is going to know, because I'm not going to drop this Cain. You can't go out today." DG replied.
"I have a job to do, DG." Cain said.
"Your job is to protect me. And if I say you don't have to for the day, you won't." DG stated.
Cain moved closer to DG, "You would order me not to protect you?"
DG met Cain's glare, "Yeah."
"I could prevent you from even trying." Cain stated.
DG smirked, "No you can't. As much as I'd hate to do this, as the Princess, I can stop you Cain."
"You wouldn't dare." Cain said.
"Try me." DG replied.
Cain turned from her. He took a few steps and stopped. His head suddenly began spinning. The room around him blurred beyond recognition. Cain closed his eyes and held his head.
When Cain opened his eyes, he found himself on the floor. Leaning against the wall. DG sat in front of him, her face full of worry.
"You're not going anywhere today Cain." DG said.
Cain sighed and lowered his hand, "Agreed."
DG smiled slightly, "Don't move. I'll be right back."
DG stood and walked to the bathroom. Cain heard the faucet running for a few seconds and then stop. DG came back carrying a wet rag. She took off Cain's hat and placed the rag on his head. Cain closed his eyes and allowed the rag to cool his forehead.
"You think you can stand?" DG asked. She took the rag off.
Cain opened his eyes, "Possibly."
"Just lean on me. We need to get you off the floor." DG said. She took Cain's right arm and lifted. Cain stood carefully. He waited as his head cleared enough for him to walk. DG led him to his bed and let him sit.
DG placed her hand on Can's forehead again, "I don't believe it. Your fever actually increased in temperature."
"So what do you suggest?" Cain asked. He found it hard to concentrate.
"Sleep and lots of it. Face it Cain, if I wasn't forcing this on you, you would've passed out in front of a lot more people." DG said.
"True." Cain kicked off his shoes and took off his coat. He lay back on his bed. His head throbbed painfully. Not only did he have a fever, but his body ached and he was getting a terrible headache. His mind was so fuzzy, he didn't notice DG leave and return with a glass in her hand.
"Cain, take this. You have to drink something. The Other Side doctors say that keeping your body hydrated when you're sick helps you recover faster." DG said. She handed Cain the glass.
Cain drank as much as he could. He hadn't realized how sick he was becoming. His hands were trembling, his throat was sore, his headache was worsening, his body ached, and he was extremely cold.
DG took the glass from Cain once he was drank as much as he could. She placed the rag back on his head. "I'm sorry Cain. Looks like you have what I should've had."
Cain smirked, "Deeg, I've had worse for you."
"Not from what I've seen Cain." DG said.
Cain smiled and undid his vest. He tossed next to his coat. Cain sighed and closed his eyes. Everything around him slowly disappeared as he fell asleep.
