I could feel the metal bring pried my limbs and neck as my hearing faded; I could feel my body growing lighter and my conscience slipping away, my eyes refused to open but I remember the feeling of a cold breeze blowing the hair around my face and tickling my nose the last thing i remember.
I felt so content for the first time in my life I was enveloped in warmth as my body was covered in soft material, this must be a dream because I have never felt something so nice as this before.
My body felt completely sore and stiff which is strange for a dream but I slightly and slowly turned my body to the left and then I felt something solid in the bed I slid my hand up to touch whatever was near my face.
I could feel a soft and smooth texture as I moved my fingers around and the I moved them down just a little bit until I felt a scratchy thing centimetres away from the softness.
"Mmmm…" a mumble
Was I patting an animal? Then my hand was caught by something that had a tight grip on it startling me I tried to yank my hand away as I yelped, didn't do much but I was scared and I tried to get away but my eyes wouldn't open.
It tried to pull me back as I pulled away trying to escape throwing my free hand about in the air trying to swat at it I then felt my nail slightly scratch something but then my body was thrown back own onto the bed and all four of my limbs were instantly pinned down.
Obviously not a dream I was panicking for I couldn't even see what is holding me down, I struggled to break free only for it to be in vain as its grip grew stronger; pain surged through my limbs from the marks the chains had left behind.
"Stop…shh..shhh…it's okay it's okay" his voice soft and calming and then I felt his head lean down and lay next to mine and whisper.
"It's alright now… I'm here to help you, alright?" he asked as he gently stroked my hair back
"Okay…" I replied feeling calmer
He freed my hands and legs from his strong grip and laid back down next to me his hand still stroking my hair as he explained
"3 days ago me and my brother broke you out of that cave you had been sealed in and since then you have been asleep in my bed I couldn't let you out of my sight just yet especially when you weren't healing."
"I'm not… healing?" I asked confused
"That's right but that may be because of all your old wounds had never actually healed in the first place"
"I see… um… I'm very sorry to inconvenience you especially since you helped me" I apologized facing downwards.
"there was no inconvenience, I did it merely because I wanted to." He lifted my face up as he explained.
"Oh I nearly forgot now that you are awake let's get you cleaned up I had to wait until you woke up"
he sounded a little cheerful like a silly person but then I noticed that I must have dirtied his bed with my filth, I had forgotten just how disgusting I really am.
He must have noticed and reassured me "don't worry I wiped down the dirt of your face, legs and arms but I couldn't just wash an unconscious person without their consent"
I felt relieved to hear that as he guided me to his bathroom, I could feel the steam start to fill up the room as he set up the bath for me. I stood there smelling all the nice scents I had never smelt before and then I heard chuckling.
I turned around to the sound "I'm sorry my love but you looked rather cute smelling all the scents but I can't blame you since this is a completely different culture to your own"
