Chapter 1: memories lost

(Shirayuki P.O.V)

I watch Zen slowly fall to the floor. He was cover in blood. I run over to him. I knee down beside him. "ZEN PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US!" I yelled, pull his hand on my stomach. I lift up his head and put it in my lap.

I grab my medicine bag to stop the bleeding. The guards help me move Zen on the bed. "Go and get Mitsuhide and Kiki, quickly." After I said that, I watch the guards run out of the room. I was treating his wound when I heard the door fly open. It was Mitsuhide and Kiki.

"Shirayuki are you okay?" Mitsuhide said in a panic, running over to me. I saw that he was still wearing his pajamas, the same with Kiki too.

"What happen?" Kiki said, walked over to me.

"There was this man, he said he will kill Zen. But when he saw me, he was ready to attack me. Zen jump in front of me to block the attack." I cry taking off Zen shirt to look at his wound. The bleeding stop.

"We will have guards station outside of your room." Mitsuhide said, walking over to the door. "Kiki stay with Shirayuki." He ordered, leaving the room to find guards to stay by our room.

I was shaking, I was very scared, then Kiki handed me a glass of water. "He will be fine. He's still alive, plus he's strong and has something to fight for." Kiki said, pull up a chair next to the bed where I was sitting at. It was getting late and I couldn't fall asleep, Kiki was staying up with me until Mitsuhide came back with two guards.

"Shirayuki, you need to sleep." Mitsuhide said, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"I can't sleep." I said shaking my head. Kiki put her hand on my other shoulder.

"Do it for Zen and your baby." Kiki said, then moved her hand to my stomach.

"Okay, I will try, for them." I said, lay down next to Zen.

"The guards will be outside of your room if you need anything." Mitsuhide said, walking back over to the door follow by Kiki.

"Goodnight Shirayuki." Mitsuhide and Kiki said at the same time, leaving the room. I sat up after they left and walked over to the couch and sat down. I couldn't sleep, so I open a book that was on the nightstand by the couch. I hear Zen moan in his sleep. I got up and walked over to him. I sat down and moved his bangs to the side.

Zen slowly open his eyes and looked up at me. "Zen." I said, happy to see he was wake. "Ah..(moan) Who are you?" He asked. He did not remember me.

"It me Shirayuki, your love." I said, hoping he will remember me.

"GUARDS!." He yelled. I stand up and walked away from the bed. The two guards run in.

"What is it, Your highness." They said, looking at Zen.

"Who is this woman?" Zen said, pointing to me. The guards looked at each other.

"Prince Zen, this is Shirayuki your love." The guards said, looking confuse.

"Where Kiki and Mitsuhide at?" Zen asked. I was shock that he remember them. I walked toward the door with one of the guards follow me.

I can't take it anymore I run down the hallway. I stop and looked at the window. Seeing the sun coming up. My heart was broken. I let the tear fall down on face and knee down to the ground. I wrap my arms around myself.

"Shirayuki." I heard a voice for behind me. I turn my head around and it was Mitsuhide. "What's wrong?" He asked, walking up to me. He knelt next to me.

"He did not remember me." I cry. Mitsuhide eyes got wide.

"Mitsuhide, you there? I was calling for you and why is this woman still here?" a voice said. Mitsuhide and I looked up and saw Zen holding his hand over where he was cut by the sword.

"Prince Zen, you lost your memories. This girl is Shirayuki. The one you love." Mitsuhide said, standing up and looking at Zen. "So, do you remember Obi?" He asked.

"Obi?" Zen said, trying to remember him too. "That name did not ring any bells to me." He answered, I was holding my stomach. "Please take her away." Zen ordered and walked down the hallway still in pain for last night.

"Shirayuki, I will talk to the king about this. we will have you go back to your old room for the time being." Mitsuhide said, helping me up. I walked back to my old room, the one when I first move in to the castle to become a court herbalist. I think to myself, "if he doesn't remember me, I doubt he remembers our baby." I put my hand on my stomach and get into bed crying myself to sleep.

See you next time...
