YEAH. I DONT OWN ANYTHING AGAIN. ENJOY.
Princess Bella leaned over her little slave and patiently healed him for weeks. When he first woke up, he didn't remember anything and had accepted her food and drink without any protest. The next time he woke up, however, he seemed to remember everything and reacted violently towards her. When she tried to feed him or dress his wounds, he would twist himself away and sometimes try to throw his pillow at her. Bella finally had to call the guards to hold him down while she changed his bandages and made sure there weren't any infections. By the time her tasks where done, Edward had given up struggling and his body went limp, aside from the small tremors that wracked his frame occasionally as he wept.
In a matter of days, Edward's health was good enough for him to be moved from the infirmary to the Princess's rooms. Although there was a separate room for slaves and servants, Bella kept Edward in her room. She set two mattresses on the floor on the far wall of her room so that Edward could sleep there and she would wake at any sound he made. The first night, Edward slept soundly (aside from his usual sobs) and Bella sat in her bed all night, watching over him to make sure he was comfortable, like a little mother.
The second night did not go as smoothly. In the middle of the night, Edward woke up with a start from a nightmare and his cries seemed louder and more heart-breaking than usual. As Bella had planned, she woke up when Edwad did and when she turned over to peer at him in the darkness, she found that he was clutching his pillow in one hand and his side with the other. She immediately understood that he must be in pain and so she crawled out of bed and pulled out a potion to give to him.
As she came near, Edward seemed to sense her presence and crawled backwards until his back was painfully pressed against the wall. Bella stopped at the edge of the mattress and slowly held out the potion for him to drink. "Drink this," she murmured. "It will help ease the pain and put you back to sleep."
Though her voice was soft and sweet, Edward shook his head vehemently. "I don't want anything from you. Why don't you just kill me? I don't want to be here! You killed my parents! I wish I was dead! I wish I could kill you all! Go away! I hate you!" He cried and crushed the pillow against him, as if seeking protection from it.
Bella was shocked and on the verge of tears at his ruthless comments. "I want to help you. I didn't kill you family. Please, take this. It will make everything better." She held the potion out for him again only her whole body shook this time.
Eward's hand flashed out and caused the bottle to go crashing against the wall. "If you want to help me so bad, why don't you just kill me? It will make both of us happy. And I refuse to take whatever you want to give me. It's probably something to increase my pain. I hate you. I hate your whole family. I wish I could kill all of you and burn your remains!" He screamed. The agony in his family's death brought on another new set of tears.
At seeing him cry, Bella burst into tears as well. She was trying so hard to help him but he refused any help she offered. After all his comments, she sensed that he didn't want her and so she crawled back into her own bed to weep in solitude.
She cried herself to sleep and woke up again at the sound of Edward shivering and his teeth chattering. She felt so bad that she automatically crawled out of her bed and dragged one of her heavy covers off of her bed and onto his. Thankfully, he was asleep when she tucked him in, or else Bella feared that he might have tried to strangle her.
Once she had taken care of him, Bella fled underneath her covers once more, just incase Edward woke up soon. When she closed her eyes and tried to go to sleep, she found that she couldn't because of the overwhelming concern for Edward. Already, she felt like he was her long-lost brother and she wanted to do everything to make him feel welcome.
After lying in the dark for a long time, Bella heard the sounds of Edward's sobs again. It pained her to know that he was crying, and even the fear of his anger couldn't stop her from going to comfort him. She rolled out of her bed for what seemed like the hundredth time, and walked slowly over to his to put her soothing, little arms around him. At first, he seemed to stiffen at her touch and tried to pry her away from him, but Bella persisted in trying to calm him and eventually, he gave up. While Bella hugged her new self-proclaimed brother, he held her and bawled on her small shoulders.
In the morning, when the nurse came in the room to help the Princess change and get ready for tutoring lessons, she found Bella sitting on the edge of Edward's bed with both the children's arms wrapped around one another and trails of dried tears on both of their small, innocent faces.
