Stricken ill

~`*The Pharaoh's .P.O.V.*`~

~`* "Pharaoh! You've absolutely no reason at all to even have an outcast like me on your mind! Let me-!" She yelled, as she suddenly collapsed before me, as I caught her in my arms. "Ammy!" I heard a voice yell, as I turned to see what looked like a little, green, bouncing bug, bouncing up, and down on the ground, beside the young girl, "And who are you?" I asked, holding her close to me. "The name's Issun, and the girl you're holdin' is Ammy, mybest friend!" He answered. 'Ammy...Such a beautiful name...' I thought, gently stroking the side of her face with my finger. Suddenly, she began to stir, "I-Issun...?..." Shejust barely managed to stammer, her voice slightly hoarse."Yeah, Ammy, I'm right here." He answered, bounding into the palm of her hand. Ammy, with her cheeks flushed, her breathing labored, and her body hot, and sweaty, fell unconcious, once again. "Ammy! Ammy, please, wake up! Open your eyes, my dear!" I said, raising my voice, and gently shaking her. "Ammy! What's wrong with her?" "I'm not sure, but, I know how to find out, come!" I commanded, taking Ammy in my arms, and mounting my horse, wrapping an arm around her waist, and holding her in my lap, while holding the reins with my free hand. "Isis! Shada! I need your help!" I yelled, riding to them, and dismounting from my horse with Ammy in my arms. "My Pharaoh! There you are! What is it?" "I've finally found her again, but, I'm afraid she's fallen ill! Please, we must help her!" I yelled, becoming very worried, as I felt her body beginning to heat up even more than before. "Calm down, my Pharaoh, and allow me to examine her." Isis stated, placing a hand on Ammy's forehead. "Oh my, she's burning a very high fever, and her breathing is very labored, but, I can't tell you anymore than that." "We should hurry back to the palace, and transport her there, immediately!" Isis ordered. We all mounted our horses, and rode quickly back to the palace. Once we had arrived, Ammy was taken to one of our medical chambers where Shada, and Isis tended to her. I waited for what felt like an eternity, pacing back, and forth in complete circles, for any news reguarding Ammy, and her health. "Don't worry, Pharaoh, she'll be ok. She's a wolf, after all, she can lick this. She's strong, and she's a fighter, that's just part of who she is." I heard the familiar voice of Ammy's friend, Issun say, as he bounded onto my shoulder, and placed a tiny hand on it, as if to comfort me. "Let's hope..." I answered. About an hour later, Shada emerged from Ammy's medical chamber. "My Pharaoh." "Shada, how is she?" I asked, clear concern in my voice. "Well, for now, her condition is stable. Upon my examination, however, I discovered that she has not been eating very well at all, making her very mal-nourished, leaving her body very weak, she has not been hydrating very well, either, making her very dehydrated, and only adding to the weakness of her body. Furthermore, her body has also contracted a sever infection caused by the open, untreated wound in her shoulder, leaving her gravely ill. She is notably stressed, mentally, as well as physically.I have cleaned, and dressed the wound in her shoulder, as well. Now, all we have to is wait, for, the infection has left her comatose, but, she should awaken soon, though." He informed. "Thankyou, Shada." I answered, as he nodded, bowing, and taking his leave. I entered the medical chamber, and sat at Ammy's bedside, taking her hand in mine. "Ammy...You're so beautiful...I remember when I first laid eyes on you, and I thought you were the most beautiful creature I had ever seen...Ammy, please, I need you, just hang on, if not for yourself, your friend, Issun, or anyone else, then, please, hang on for me..." I whispered, tears coming to my eyes, as I leant in toward her, and kissed her soft lips as she slept. I stayed by her bedside, and rested my head on the edge of the bed, watching her unconcious form, hoping, praying that somehow, she would be ok. Three hours passed, and Ammy still showed no signs of life, cauing me to become all the more worried, and fearful that she may not awaken. "...Pharaoh...?..." I suddenly heard a familiar voice ask. I lifted my head to find her awakening, her hand beginning to gently grip mine. "Ammy?..." I asked, looking at her, as she opened her tired, Sapphire-Blue eyes half-way, and looked at me. "Pharaoh...?..." She asked again, her voice a-little hoarse, as she smiled sweetly at me. "Yes, Ammy...I'm here." I whispered, taking her, and holding it against my cheek, gently kissingher palm, as a tear streamed down my face, causing her to blush slightly, as a shade of crimson creeped across her cheeks, Ra, I was so relieved that she was alright!...

~`* "...Pharaoh...?..." I asked for a second time, as the Pharaoh took my hand, and held it against his cheek, gently kissing my palm,tears ever so slightly coming to his eyes as one streamed down his face. "Yes, Ammy...I'm here." He whispered, leaning overme, and kissing my forehead, causing me to blush. He chuckled, "I was so worried about you...I missed you." He whispered once more, as he sat on the edge of the bed beside me, my hand in his, as he gazed at me with such love, and tenderness in his eyes.

~`*Isis' .P.O.V.*`~

~`*I watched as the Pharaoh sat on the edge of the young girl's bed, Ammy, I believe was her name. I smiled, as I watched the Pharaoh gaze at her with such love in his eyes, a look that neither I, nor anyone else have seen him give to anyone, except theyoung Lady Ammy. Suddenly, I began to have visions of what would appear to be the very near future. The images of the Pharaoh proposing to the young Ammy, Lady Ammy becoming our future queen, and-! 'What's this?' I thought, as an image of a very pregnant Lady Ammy, and the birth of their child, a beautiful baby girl with eyes as blue as her mother's, with beauty to match. 'The Pharaoh, and the Lady Ammy are to be married, and become the future rulers of all of Egypt, and what's more, is that the Lady Ammy is to bear the Pharaoh's child, a young girl, who shall become the future, and possibly sole ruler of Egypt!' I thought. 'I must announce this most joyous news to Mana, Shada, and to Mahad!' I thought once more, taking my leave.

~`*Regular/Ammy's.P.O.V.*`~

~`* "Ammy! You're awake, and you're ok!" I heard Issun yel,as he bounced onto my shoulder. "Hey, Isuun! I'm glad I'm ok too, pal." I answered, nuzzling him. "You two seem very close." I heard the Pharaoh reply. "Actually, yes, we are. Issun is my best friend, and really, my only friend, and has been since I was a pup." I answered, my blue eyes meeting the Pharaoh's violet gaze, Issun bounding into my lap. "Yes, I can see that. In any case, you should get some rest, my dear." The Pharaoh replied, kissing my forehead,standing up, andpreparing to take his leave. I gently gripped his hand,and he looked at me. "Um, Pharaoh?" I asked timidly, looking up at him. "Yes, my dear?" He answered, his violet gaze never once leaving me. "Please, don't go...Please, stay with me...I want you to." Ireplied meekly, blushing, andbreakingmy gaze upon him, looking down. "Yes, of course I will, but, only because you asked." He answered, sitting on the edge of the bed, beside me again, holding my hand with one hand, and gentky tapping my nose with his indexfingerwith his freehand, causing me to giggle. "Rest." He whispered, kissing my forehead, before placing a gentle hand on the back of my head, making me rest my head on his muscular chest. "Goodnight, Ammy." He whispered, gently strokingthe side of my face. "Goodnight, Pharaoh." I answered, falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat...
