Chapter 3: Anything this possible with the power of magic.
That night, Corrin was fed some of the most delicious food he had ever tasted, even better than anything he had at his Nohrian Home. For a guy trying to kill him, Takumi makes great soup.
"Q-quit treating me a child Sakura..." a blush formed on the cuffed boy's face, he made a childish pouting face, of course directed at the child who really seemed to like to babying him at every chance she got.
It had been a few days since Corrin had awoken cuffed to his bed. Takumi had been coming down almost daily to berate Corrin and to tell Sakura to stop feeding him, Sakura of course, never listened saying, "It's inhumane to just leave him to starve. He's your brother..." everytime he did.
His gash had healed almost completely, due to Sakura's daily healing magic and medicines she had been slipping into Corrin's food causing the taste of the food to change significantly, but magic fixed the taste.
"Your're cute when you blush brother..." She giggled softly. Breaking off another piece of bread and putting in his mouth.
His blush had only grown. "I am n-"
The warrior was cut off by another piece of bread put into his mouth.
"Mph!" He tried to speak, being cut off by Sakura closing his mouth and whispering, "D-don't talk with your mouth full."
Corrin gave her an annoyed look before chewing and swallowing his food.
"There... That's the last of today's food." She takes grabs the tray, turning to leave.
"H-hey um..." Corrin bit his bottem lip trying to get his thoughts together.
"Hm?" Sakura turned to the voice. Quickly remember to grab her staff before anything else.
"T-thank you... f-for not leaving me to starve..." He immediately ripped his head away in a blush.
"O-oh? I-I wouldn't have let it happen knowing I could do something about it." She blushed softly, trying to speak without stammering, but her shy nature didn't allow it.
"Yeah... c-can I be uncuffed now?" Corrin asked, pulling on the cuffs still binding his hands to the back metal bars of his bed.
The young red headed girl shook her head and sighed quietly. "Not until you've fully healed Corrin. You need it to heal or else that wound could open again."
Corrin let out a sigh, just wanting to move around. "Yes Cam- Sakura..." he quickly corrected himself, for fear of her being upset and calling Takumi to do something.
"D-did you just call me Camilla?" The girl asked, her face going slightly more red.
Corrin's entire body tensed, this was probably the longest ten seconds Corrin had to wait in his entire life.
She blushed herself. "I-im happy you see me as family..." She then closed the door behind her and went back upstairs.
Corrin let out his breath that he didn't know he was even holding. "She's really on my side..." Corrin, for the time that he was here, had trusted Sakura more than the others, although there was this lingering doubt, that she was still trying to kill him somehow. But those doubts vanished from this.
The boy felt suddenly sleepy, from Sakura' s medicines of course. The medicine this time helped heal faster, but had the side effect of making you extremely tired.
"Egh... I knew it... She was slipping something..." He yawned before being transported into the land of sleep.
The silver haired warrior stood in an only black void, nothing but inky blackness, he looked around, nothing to see.
"C...in... ...ase... ...lp ...e..."
"Who's there?" The boy called out. Looking around, as if the voice could be seen.
No reponse.
"Hello? Anyone there?" The boy called, taking a few steps forward.
Again, no response.
The boy woke up confused and with another headache, this one a bit worse than the last. He looked outside, it was still dark but hints of sun crept through.
"Ugh, my head... It's too early to bother her..." he turned over onto his stomach and tried to sleep again.
Sleep never visted Corrin again that morning. Instead he lay, tossing and turning, still tied to the back of the bed.
Something felt... off. No matter how much he reviewed the events of the past few days, something felt, missing. He dismissed his thoughts as the sun shown in his eyes.
There was a small knock at the door and soft voice, "Coming in Corrin!" The girl squeaked, opening the door. Sakura came in with breakfast, nothing of note. Daily healing magic with the combination of her medicine, the gash had finally sealed completely.
"I can finally let you out." The Healer pulled out a slightly rusted, silver key, jamming it into the lock, she turned the lock, releasing his hands, Corrin pulled them away, sitting up and stretching them.
"F-finally." The boy said, sitting up and rubbing his formerly entrapped wrists. Sakura giggled, "I'm glad to see you feeling better Corrin. I think Ryo-"
Corrin visibly flinched at the name, Sakura stopping. "C-corrin... you still need to meet H-Hinoka..."
