Dreaming of reality chapter 14

I felt my mind rail itself in. the pain in my head nothing more then a simple throb. Slowly I moved to get up. "Eh." The dizziness caught me off guard. I had barley time to steady myself before I felt arms around me.

"Be careful, lass."

"Sebastian?" Kirkwall? Had everything else been a dream? The hospital, the nurse, the witch, Damien?

I looked into Sebastian's eyes, lost within my own thoughts. So many questions and yet so few answers.

"Lea?"

I shook my head and straightened myself. "I'm fine. Totally fine." He eyed me carefully and I could see him wondering if it was truly wise to let me go. Finally he moved from my side and sent me a smile. "I am glad your alright. Let me send for anders-"

"NO! I mean no. Later" I felt my stomach growl. "Can we please just get some food?"

"Of course. Orana has been doing nothing but cooking. I'm sure she has something." He walked to me and grabbed my hand. Leading me to the fire place, he moved a chair from across the room and placed it beside me. "I'm fine.-"

"Don't argue with me, Hawke. You have been on that bed for nearly a week."

"SO I don't believe I need any more rest." God such a stubborn bastard. I walked out the room and began to descend the stairs to go towards the kitchen. "A week?" I wrapped my arms around myself, a sad attempt to send the chill away. A week here is what in my world? A few days? With Damien I had woken up in the hospital. It couldn't have been any more then 2 or 3 days.

"Sebastian?"

The archer turned his face to me and quirked his eyebrow up in response. The gesture had been small but it was enough to send my mind reeling once more. The cocky face when he was in battle. The battles that they had shared together. Fighting the mercenaries, the Harrimans. The flashes came across my eyes halting her movement. "Lea?" I felt Sebastian hands gently touch her skin. The images faded and I opened my eyes with a sad smile. "I am fine."

My hand reached up and gently caressed his face. I knew I shouldn't have. Or at least I felt as if I shouldn't have. But it just felt to right. He just felt right.

"I need your help." Lea came rushing in surprisingly by herself. Anders would have thought for sure that chantry boy would be with her. He had gotten word yesterday that she was up and about but she had refused to let the healer come and look her over. If it wasn't for the fact that he knew Hawke so well, he probably would have pushed the issue.

"Well, I see you are well. You had us worried for a bit." Lea flashed him a sarcastic smile before diverting her eyes. He could feel an awkwardness settle in the room. Sigh.

"What can I do for you, Hawke?"

She had begun fiddling with a vial of some elfroot, examining it within her fingers as if it was foreign to her eyes. "I need… a potion, a remedy or what ever you call it here."

The laugh escaped his mouth before he could even think. "and what,"- he asked reaching for the vial in her hands "Might this potion, or what ever we call it, be for?"

Her eyes diverted away again. "Hawke?"

"I need to know the truth." She pushed him away and made her way to the fire. "I need to know why I can't remember anything."

"Hawke, its not –"

"Try." She turned on him, her eyes raging with passion and determination. It seemed as though the Hawke he knew was still there.

"ugh." He shook his head. Was there nothing this women couldn't make him do? "Fine. Ill see what I can do- but I make no promises."

Her smile was radiant. "Thank you, Anders. This means-"

The door was crashing open before she could say her piece, a wide eyed and beat up refugee stopped panting before them. "the… the.. qunari.." he tried to speak between breathes.

"What is it, Jon?" Anders moved to his friend cautiously but he waved off his help.

"Their attacking."
