Running Away
Chapter 5. Please live mother!
"I'm sorry but you can't come in Princess." The pale faced nurse said, holding Dagger still.
"No! You don't understand! I need to see my mother!" Dagger objected frustratingly trying to run past her.
"Please? My mother is dying!"
The nurse looked quite touched and she let her through. Dagger quickly ran to her mother's side, tears in her eyes. Holding Queen Brahnne's hand tightly, Dagger wished her mother would wake up.
"Your mother had a very severe heart attack. It's a very good chance that she will die." The nurse behind her said.
Dagger turned around to face the blonde nurse.
"Is there any hope?" She asked her trembling.
The nurse looked down sadly.
"I'm sorry, but-"
"No! My mother can't die! She has to live!" Shouted Dagger, crying even more.
The nurse looked a little disturbed. She took Dagger's arm and gently started to pull Dagger up from her weak knees. Dagger wouldn't move. She stared back at her mother's body. Suddenly, the machine on Dagger's left started beeping. Dagger was startled as the nurse quickly pulled her out of the room as 3 sergeants rushed into the room performing a life saving shock. Dagger got pushed out and quickly crawled to the window.
"Nooo!" She cried out, everyone stared at her curiously.
Dagger put her hand on the bumpy window. The sergeants moved away sighing sadly. There, was Queen Brahnne's body not twitching at all. The nurse who was looking after Dagger was standing next to her. The moment Dagger saw her mother's body, she ran into the room crying to her dead mother's side. She held onto her mother's cold hand, not letting go. The nurse came in, taking Dagger out of the room as the men placed the body on a stretcher. But, Dagger wouldn't let go.
"Princess, you have to let go!" The nurse urged.
But Dagger didn't move.
Finally, with the help of another nurse they finally got Dagger out of the room and finally got Dagger to let go of her mother's hand.
"Noooo!" Dagger cried out again.
Dagger was sitting on the floor, her face covered with dried tear drops.
"Princess?" Freya called out, rushing to the hallway.
Relieved to find Dagger, she bowed quickly.
"Princess are you okay?"
Dagger leaned against the wall looking kind of dumb and plain looking on her face. New wet tears came rolling down her weary eyes. Her eyelids were all puffy and red. She didn't answer. Freya frowned sadly.
"It's okay Princess, I'll take you back to the castle." said Freya, lifting Dagger up to her wobbling legs and helped her home to the castle.
