Chapter 11 The Hospital and returning back

I was plagued with nightmares while I was out. The constant repeat of watching my family die in front of me covered me with a cold sweat and left me with even worse nightmare to follow. I watched as my whole kingdom was burned, people still in the buildings. I could hear the screams and feel the warmth of the heat dance on my face.

I quickly sat up in my bed, and pain gripped my whole left side. I held my side, trying to support it in vein. I felt the cold sweat run quickly down my body as I tried to catch my breath. I laid back down in my cot as coughing from some of the wounded bounced off the tent's sides.

"It's ok relax, your safe." I heard Raziel say in the darkness.

"Am I?" I asked, still breathing heavy.

"You'll be safe as long as I am here with you." I heard him say with a soften voice.

"Don't get soft with me Raziel." Pain ripped at my side and I sat up,bent over holding my side.

"You're in pain, hold on I'll get a nurse." Said Raziel as he rushed off.

Why was I in so much pain? I thought as I held in screams of pain while Raziel came back with a nurse. I looked up as the tent and everyone in it whirled around me, I started to get a headache. The nurse reached out to me and I tried to push her away, but it was all in vain. Raziel pushed me down and held me on the cot so that the nurse could give me a pill.

I was woken the next night as thing around me where being broken down. I looked around in confusion. I removed my covers and slowly got up, remembering the pain I felt that day. I walked out into the night and looked around, the whole vampire army was in a rush tearing things down and loading up. Raziel rode up on horse back in front of me and stopped, I looked up at him with my look of disorder.

"I see that you are well enough to walk." Said Raziel.

"No milord, in fact it hurts just to stand here now." I answered.

"Your horse has been prepared for your use. I will have it brought up to you immediately."

Without another word he rode of in the direction he came from shouting order for his men to hurry up and move out. I heard the sound of chains behind me and I turned around to see the slaves being loaded into a large metal cage like animals. I looked at each person and wondered how so many people could fight against mankind and not show the pain. How the vampire worshippers could just destroy the life of someone they knew and hide their feelings of pain behind a glass mask.

Raziel came up behind me with my horse, catching me practically off guard. He dismounted and helped me up on to my horse. My side ached with pain; I could feel the pain pounding away at my side as I finished adjusting myself on the horse. I heard a voice calling my name and I turned my horse around.

"Lady Comet, please take these pills before we take off. They will help you deal with the pain." Said the nurse.

I took the pills as I was asked to, and took off at a slow pace on my horse. I watched as vampires and human alike tear down the camp site in mere minutes. I looked over at Raziel, who had a royal type of air to him as he rode his horse as if the horse was apart of him and that nothing could harm him.

Not to long after the camp site was torn down the whole army started to move. I stayed near Raziel in case anything bad happened to me. But with me staying near Raziel, it meant I had to put up with his brothers, Zephon Dumah and Rahab. Rahab rode beside me quietly, he rarely talked and if he did it seemed to be after thinking about the topic. I was silent while I was around his brothers, for I did not want to seem a fool.

"So sister, how are you feeling tonight?" Rahab asked me while the rest where in a light chat over Kain's wishes.

I looked over at him in surprise.

"I'm feeling ok, right now I guess. Those pills I took are really working on the pain."

"That's good to hear; that wound you have on your side is pretty bad. I'm surprise you're even alive."

"So am I, to tell you the truth."

"You don't have to fear me, sister, I have nothing against you. If the legend says that a human with a sign that's like yours, will bring this world to ruins, then so be it. I neither trust you nor distrust you. All you are now is my sister in arms."

We arrived at The Pillage a few hours past midnight. My body was exhausted from the travel, and I watched as each of the armies separate to go back to their clan territory. I bid Rahab ado, and went with Raziel back to his territory. We dropped the horses at the stables to get taking care by the servants there, from which we head to his place. We were greeted by the house servants who helped Raziel out of his armory. I took hold of my side as the pain started up again, the room we were in started to spin around again, then I fainted.
