Chapter 07: Antidote
Cagalli shifted in her sleep till she finally opened her eyes and saw Athrun sitting beside her bed sitting in a chair holding a cup in his hand.
"Athrun…" Spoke Cagalli whispered
"Thank goodness your awake, here you need to drink this it's an antidote"
Cagalli sat up in the bed and took the drink from Athrun
"Thank-you" She replied before drinking
When she finished the drink she handed it back to Athrun and he helped her lie back down.
"Are you in pain?" Athrun asked Cagalli seeing her wince
"Yes, my back hurts" She told him
"May I take a look at your back?" Athrun asked Cagalli
"Yes" Cagalli replied
"Can you turn over" Athrun asked her
Cagalli nodded and turned over on her stomach. Athrun then lifter the back of her shirt so her could examine her back
"You have a bad wound on your back in-between you wings" Athrun informed her removing his hand from her back
"Well that explains why it hurts then" Cagalli said
"I'm going to get some bandages and ointment to fix up that wound" he told her
"ok" Cagalli replied
Athrun got up from the chair he was sitting on beside cagalli's bed and went into another section of the room to get bandages and ointment.
"Athrun, where are we?" Cagalli asked him when he came back with the bandages and ointment
"oh this is a secret room that no one knows of except me and my father. My father had this room made for my mother when she was sick so that no one would disturb her but I doubt he remembers it now" Athrun told her while applying the ointment and bandages to the wound on her back
"oh" Cagalli replied
"I'm sorry Cagalli" Athrun said when he finished bandaging her wound
"Sorry? Why?" Cagalli asked sitting up
"My father only tried to turn you into a hell fairy because of me" Athrun said
"But you didn't do anything" Cagalli replied confused
"No but-" Athrun began but Cagalli cut him off
"This is not your fault Athrun" She said placing one of her hands on his shoulder
"Cagalli I…I love you" He told her
"Cagalli suddenly went wide eyed in shock as to what Athrun told her but she knew she felt the same way and started to blush.
"I love you too" She replied
Athrun's heart jumped for joy. He learned forward and was about to kiss her but was interrupted when they heard hell fairies starting to break down the door
"Damnit, they found us father must have remembered this room after all" Athrun Said
"What do we do than if they find us will both be killed" Cagalli asked
"I know another way out but you can't fly" Athrun informed her
"What do you mean I can't fly?" Cagalli asked
"The antidote I gave you hasn't completely worked yet your wings aren't completely back to normal yet" Athrun informed her
The hell fairies then broke down the down but Athrun grabbed cagalli's wrist and ran to the balcony. He opened his black wings, picked Cagalli up in his arms bridal style and flew off with Cagalli wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Are they gone?" The hell king asked
"Yes sir, they flew off from the balcony it looked like they're leaving hell sir" the servant replied
"Good work, now prepare the army we attack at sundown" The king told him
"Yes sir" The servant replied
"Athrun where are we going" Cagalli asked him
"I don't know I just want to get far away from hell forest" He told her
Athrun then landed on the ground putting Cagalli down
"You should inform heaven that my father know how to get through you barrier" Athrun said
"Yes" Cagalli replied
"Knowing my father he'll attack by sundown" Athrun said looking depressed because he was thinking he may have to leave cagalli's side
"Don't worry Athrun your coming with me" Cagalli told him as if she knew what he was thinking
"I am?" Athrun asked confused
"Yes threes no way you can go home or you'll be killed, so you're going to live with me in fairy heaven"
Athrun just smiled and followed her to forest heaven. Cagalli took his hand in hers and walked into forest heaven "It's good to be home" Cagalli thought to herself.
