Chapter 9: Reap What You Sow

Three days had past before Elvy found out what happened to Omi. Her father wanted to keep it a secret since Omi wanted to accept his punishment. As soon as she found out where he was being held, she ran to the dungeon. As she reached the door to the cells she wanted to catch her breath. She opened the door and slowly walked through the narrow passageway looking hard into each and every cell she passed. Until finally she found him, he was sitting with one leg curled half-way in-wards, and the other bent up. His hands were hanging, shackled to the wall. His head was hanging down and swaying back and forth. As she entered his cell she saw him even more clearly, he was not wearing a shirt, she could tell he was beaten very badly, he had bruises all over, most of his ribs were broken, and he had gashes from whipping sessions on most of his torso. She also noticed that the scars on his cheeks were reopened with a dagger. His whole upper body was filled with lines of blood that had slowly flowed out from his wounds; each gash looked like it was it was a closed eye crying blood. Small pools of blood formed under his hanging body, where the blood dripped to the floor. She couldn't take it, seeing him like this she fell to the ground. She slowly moved closer to him until she was only a few feet away.

"Omi, why? Why did you accept this?" she asked about to burst crying.

Omi was still groggy from the last whipping he received. He looked up at a teary-eyed Elvy.

"I accepted it…because I killed two people in cold blood. I deserved what I have been given down here." He slowly answered.

Elvy couldn't take the answer he gave and she burst out crying and hugged him.

"You jerk…you stupid jerk!" she cried, as she softly beat on his chest

"I'm sorry you had to find out Elvy, but I'm thankful your father respected my wish." He said, as he lifted his head to see his surroundings

She let him go and looked up at his face. The two scars he had were both bleeding just like his torso, and his mouth was bleeding as well. She stood up and unlocked his shackles. She sat back down in front of him. He gathered all the strength he had left to lift his hand and wiped away the flowing tears from her eyes.

"Stop crying" he said softly "If I wanted the water works, I would have cried myself." He said teasingly.

"Shut up you jerk, I've been worried sick about you." Elvy said slowly wiping away the rest of her tears.

"I know and I'm truly sorry, but I had to do this, this is what I deserved." He explained.

"Your wrong Omi…you don't deserve this at all, even if you did kill those men." she yelled. "You're one of the kindest people I've ever met, you don't deserve this". She said about to cry again.

Omi didn't even think he just moved in and hugged her

"I'm sorry Elvy, I never meant for you to worry" he said cringing at the pain. "And I'm sorry about

the blood".

"Its ok I have tons of these outfits in my room" she said still crying. "Now…let's get you out of this

place".

Omi released her and she began her healing spells.

"I'm sorry but my healing isn't very strong, I need to get you to the hospital." She said finished healing him all she could.

They both got up and with Omi leaning on her; they went back up to the castle. They finally reached the castle hospital.

"LITO!?! LITO?!?" Elvy cried as she placed Omi on an unused bed.

The young Priestess entered the room.

"Oh my!" she exclaimed.

"Please help me I could only heal him so much but his wounds were too severe." Elvy said trying to hold back her tears again.

"I will do my best Princess" Lito said assuringly.

The Priestess started using her abilities right away. Elvy was sent out of the room until he was a bit more stabilized. An hour later Lito finally came out of the room.

"Princess, he is going to be fine I was able to repair all of the damage that was done to his body." Lito explained "You can see him now, but he needs his rest and is sleeping so please try not to wake him. He isn't to going to wake up for a few days I think after all the devastation his body went through".

Elvy nodded and thanked the Priestess for her help. She slowly opened the door and saw Omi indeed sleeping. She slowly walked over to his bed and kneeled next to it. She grabbed his hand lightly.

"You are such a jerk Omi" she said seriously, but she couldn't help but smile at how peaceful he looked.

She left the room and went to talk with her father about what happened.

The next three days went by peacefully. Omi was still sleeping and Elvy was training in the Culvert to become stronger, since she felt helpless the night she found Omi in the dungeon, she decided that she never wanted to be that weak again.

That third night Omi finally awoke, as his eyes focused and realized he was in the castle again. He looked at his body to see all his bruises and cuts were gone. Lito quietly entered the room.

"Oh…I see you've finally awakened. Good now the Princess doesn't have to worry anymore. I'll go let her know you're awake".

"No wait!" Omi cried softly. "Don't tell her I'm up yet I want it to be a surprise. Where is she now?" he asked.

"I believe she is in her room" Lito answered with an eyebrow perched up wondering just what he had in mind.

"I see" Omi smiled "Thank you for helping me" he said as he stood up and bowed in respect.

"It's my job, but you're welcome nonetheless" Lito said while bowing as well.

Omi got his clothes on as quick as he could though not wearing his hood. He took out the Sohee Bells and put them in a box and wrapped it, and wrote a quick card. He left the hospital wing and went in the direction of Elvy's room. As he got to the door of her room he couldn't help but smile, and was about to knock.

"I'm getting married tomorrow!?!" Elvy yelled at her father from within the room.

Omi heard this and his heart sank in his chest, his face turned to disappointment and sadness. He looked down at the present he bought her and sighed. He didn't pay attention to the rest of their conversation; he didn't need to hear it.

"Heh I was such a fool…" he thought to himself as he place the gift in front of her door, and disappeared into the shadows of the night.

"Father I don't love that man from Umbala…I love Omi!" she cried, embarrassed that she just admitted her feelings for him.

As Elvy was speaking with her father a loud jingle came from the door

"What was that sound?" she asked looking at the door.

Elvy walked over to the door and slowly opened it expecting a person, but saw no one. She looked down and saw the gift picked it up and after it jingled she started reading the note addressed to her:

Elvy, I'm sorry about that night in Comodo,

and I'm sorry that you had to worry about

me those three days. I hope you can forgive

me and I hope you like them.

Omi

Elvy realized in horror at what just happened.

"No…Omi…" she said almost breathless, collapsing to the floor.

"Elvy what's wrong?" Ironwolf asked confused.

"I think that Omi came here to give me this and heard me yell about the marriage" she said about to cry.

Ironwolf then realized how much she really loved him, and walked over to her, and cradled her in his arms.

"There, there now. You truly love him don't you? Very well then I will call off the marriage to the

Prince." He said patting her hair trying to comfort her. "We will go searching for him in the morning, but now I think you've had enough excitement tonight, try to get some sleep." He said softly still caressing her hair.

He helped her up and put the present on her dresser. He left and headed back to his room to get some sleep himself. Back in her room she sadly got out of her Priestess dress and into a lighter gown for sleeping. Once she finished changing she sat at the edge of the bed near the dresser and opened up her present. She saw the beautiful bells he had gotten her and immediately fell in love with them. She hugged them tightly to her chest.

"Thank you Omi they are beautiful!" she whispered and lightly cried happily.

After wiping the tears from her face she carefully put the Sohee Bells on and looked in the mirror. Looking at herself with his gift in her hair she couldn't help but cry again. She didn't even stop, when she went to bed.

"Thank you so much Omi, I'm sorry too, and I do forgive you…please come back." She lightly said.

She then turned off the lights and went to bed with tears still in her eyes.
