Bu-dump…..Bu….dump….Bu…..dump…Bu…dump…
He looked up, alarm in his eyes.
'No!'
Three days before…
Light shone through her open window in her room. She opened her eyes and stared up at the ceiling. Suddenly everything that hurt the night before continued to. She slipped her legs off the side of the bed and began to stand. Her legs then crumpled out from under her, making a loud thump.
From downstairs Kai looked up towards his sister's room in curiosity.
She looked at her legs and tried to move them but they laid there motionless.
Her eyes widened. "Kai!"
"Saya?" He called from the stairs.
"Kai!"
Something suddenly passed by the red haired man and Saya's door flew open.
"Saya, are you alright?" Haji asked.
"I can't move my legs."
Kai ran up just as she spoke. "I'll call Julia."
Moments later, her brother came back.
"Ok, we need to take you to the clinic."
The chevalier picked her up and followed the red haired man to his car. They rode to the clinic and carried her to Julia.
…
The doctor looked through some tests that she had just taken on Saya.
"Well…I see nothing that would paralyze you. I…don't know what's wrong…"
She went over to her desk and grabbed a pin. She touched the queen's leg with it.
"Tell me if you feel anything."
"…no…nothing."
Julia looked to Haji and Kai with concerned eyes.
"Maybe I should keep her here for a few days…then I could run further research."
They all nodded.
The next day…she couldn't move her arms. The second, she couldn't move her arms, the third; she couldn't even lift her head.
Haji sat by her bedside and he held her hand as she slept. He appeared saddened, staring into oblivion in a daze.
The doctor walked in and placed a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her.
"You should take a break…she'll be fine…I have everything under control."
He nodded and stood from his place.
…
He stared at the pink roses, only thinking of Saya. She was like a rose in a way, so delicate but yet so beautiful. He picked one rose and began to walk into the store.
Bu-dump…..Bu….dump….Bu…..dump…Bu…dump…
He looked up, alarm in his eyes. His queen's heartbeat was slowly going away in his ears.
'No!'
He dropped the rose and ran for the clinic.
…
Julia waited for the results for the most recent tests. Her eyes widened as she looked at the test.
"It's my fault…no…"
She then heard the line going dead in the queen's room. She ran into her room just as a blue light flashed by her.
"Saya!" Haji yelled.
"What's going on!" The doctor yelled.
Bu-dump….Bu-dump…Bu-dump…bu-dump bu-dump.
The line began to beep again.
"She's alive…" The doctor whispered.
Her eyes didn't open and her heartbeat slowed as did her breaths as if she was ready for her hibernation.
"…She's sleeping," The chevalier said.
"Yes…We should leave her to rest."
"No…she's gone into her thirty year sleep."
"What?"
"Her body needs the rest."
She handed him the test results.
"The medicine I gave her kept her concisely awake while the rest of her shut down. She was going to fall into hibernation whether I gave her the medicine or not…I'm sorry…I'll go inform the others."
She left the room.
Haji knelt down beside his queen and kissed her forehead. "Sleep well my queen, I'll always be waiting for you."
Fin!
Me: I hope ya'll all enjoyed my ending chapter to TBR.
