Chapter 13: Awaken from a Dream
Blitz groans and begins to wake up and feels hard pain in his head.
"Fuck!" Blitz says, gritting his teeth in pain and clutches his head.
He begins to stand on his feet with his wobbly legs, "And I ever going to get out of this fuckin, shitty place! I'm about to tear my horns off if I meet one more lunatic in that insane place!"
"Does that include me, Blitzy?" A familiar voice says.
Blitz becomes surprised and turns his head to see the King of Hearts walking toward him with a calm smile on his face. Blitz doesn't know whether to be a little relieved or nervous. Even if he does look like Stolas, he's still the King of Hearts of Wonderland, the place he's trying to get out of.
"The King of… wait, how do you know I'll end up here?!" Blitz asks, a little surprised and almost lost for words.
"I have my ways, darling. Are you alright?" The King asks, and places his hands on Blitz's cheeks.
"I'm fine. I think. Honestly, I just had a very shitty day," Blitz says, as much as he hates to admit.
Then sighs and says, "I really need to get out of this place and find my way back home."
The King of Hearts chuckles and says, "But in a way, you are outside."
"What?" Blitz says, confused.
The King of Hearts raises his hand and makes candles light up in the room. Blitz looks around at himself in what looks like a royal chamber that is decorated with red hearts and diamonds, black clubs and spades. Other than that, Blitz believes that it has a strong resemblance to Stolas' room.
The King of Hearts turns to Blitz and says, "Come with me." and holds his hand out to Blitz.
Reluctantly, Blitz takes his hand and they both walk toward the large bed. They soon sit down to relax a bit. Blitz is curious about what the King is talking about. The King of Hearts raises his claw and uses it to create a small portal. The portal soon reveals a shocking sight to Blitz. He is actually seeing himself lying asleep in his bed. He has bandages wrapped around his head and a cast on his right arm.
"That… that's me?! I was asleep?!" Blitz says to himself in shock, having so many questions in his head.
He turns to the King and asks, "Was all of this… not real?"
"It depends what you think it's real," The King says.
He then rubs Blitz's cheek and says, "For now, it's best for you to rest. You had a long day."
"Uh sure," Blitz answers, a little uneasy.
The King picks up Blitz and lays him down on the bed and uses his magic to take Blitz's shoes and tucks him in the covers.
He places his black claws on his cheeks and says, "Now then, it's time to wake up Blitzy… Blitzy… Blitzy…"
Blitz then closes his eyes and falls into a deep sleep.
Soon enough, Blitz is still sleeping, but has bandages wrapped around his head.
Soon black claws place themselves on Blitz's cheek as Stolas' voice says, "Blitzy… Blitzy… it's time to wake up now. Blitzy…"
Blitz lets out a groan and begins to open his eyes. To see a familiar blurry figure. He recognizes it to be Stolas, but isn't sure if it is him or the king. His visions continue to get less blurry to reveal the Royal outfit he always wears.
Blitz softly asks, "St-Stolas..? Is that… you?"
"It is me, darling. Are you alright?" Stolas asks with a gentle smile.
"I… I think so…" Blitz answers, trying to hit up.
She groans to feel pain in his head.
Stolas places his claws on Blitz's shoulders and gently pushes him back down.
"Easy Blitzy, you just woke up. You need to stay in bed a little longer." Stolas says.
"Wha-what happened? How did I get here?" Blitz asks.
Then feels the pain in his right arm and notices the cast on it, "And why am I wearing a cast?"
He grunts and groans to feel pain in his head, "My head feels like it's going to split open."
"It's just the pain from the concussion, and you broke your arm," Stolas says.
That's when Moxxie, Millie, and Loona walk into the room to see Blitz is awake.
"Blitz! You're awake!" Millie happily screams.
But Moxxie calmly says, "Millie, remember to keep your voice down. Blitz just woke up and we need to take this slowly."
Loona walks to Blitz and asks, "You okay there?"
"Oh, hey Loonie. Nice to see you. Did we off that fucker or what?" Blitz asks with a grin, quickly clutches his head to feel the pain from it.
"You're almost off yourself, dumbass," Loona says.
"Lonna, it didn't happen like that. Millie and I were there and it didn't happen like that," Moxxie says.
"And Blitz was unconscious for three days," Millie adds
Confused and tired, Blitz asks, "Three days? I was unconscious for three days?"
"Yeah. You had a really nasty fall when the cliff gave way and you hurt your head pretty hard," Millie says.
"Not to mention you broke your arm and your phone for that matter," Loona says.
Blitz mutters, "God freakin' damint!"
Then begins to sit up, "Well, I can't exactly lay in bed all fuckin day and…"
"Sorry sir, but you need to lay down. The doctor said that you might be unconscious for a few days or so. According to the results, you did suffer a concussion and have a fracture in your right arm. You'll need to rest for a few more days, and it's going to take a few weeks for your arm to heal," Moxxie says.
"Come on!" Blitz groans and lays back in bed.
"Sorry Blitz, but this time you have to stay in bed. Doctor's orders," Millie says.
Typing on her phone, Loona says, "Sorry Blitz, but I'll have to go with the couple on this one."
"Great. Three against one," Blitz says, seeing there is no getting out of it.
"Don't think so bad about it Blitz, you just need to rest for a little while and you'll be back to full strength," Stolas says.
"Fine. I'll stay in bed, but it's not going to be easy being stuck in bed after sleeping for three days," Blitz says.
Suddenly, he hears the sound of his stomach growling.
"And I'm fucking hungry too," Blitz adds.
"We'll go make you something to eat. Don't go anywhere," Millie says happily and leaves the room.
Blitz rolls his eyes, "Like I'm able to go anywhere like this."
Moxxie and Loona decide to leave the room, leaving Blitz and Stolas alone in the room.
"Kind od makes me wish I was still trapped in that fuckin topsy tuvy world so I wouldn't know I'm going to be bedridden for a while longer," Blitz mutters.
"What do you mean by that?" Stolas asks, leaning close to Blitz' face.
Blitz curses himself, forgetting that Stolas is in the room with him.
"It's nothing," Blitz answers, turning his head away.
"I don't believe that it's nothing, especially noticing you moving around so much in your sleep," Stolas answers, and runs his finger on Blitz's horn.
"Nothing much, I just had, the most insane dream is all. It was fucking crazy. Moxxie was some kind of rabbit, Millie was a cook that is obsessed with putting pepper in just about everything. Loona was some Knave that was being put on trial because of some stupid fruit tart. And well…" Blitz explains, but comes to a stop.
"And what?" Stolas asks.
Blitz sighs and says, "Well, you were also there. It's a long and complicated dream. I thought I woke up after I felt and ended up in this insane world that is called Wonderland and you were one of the rulers of that land. And well, you were the only one that seems more uh, well, more normal than everyone else in that place."
"Hmm, Wonderland you say. Quite particular," Stolas says, taking an interest.
"What?" Blitz asks, confused.
"Oh nothing," Stolss answers as he uses his magic to remove his hat and cloak and places it on the table close by.
He then sits on the bed next to Blitz and places his claw on Blitz's cheek, "I just find it interesting to have such an exciting dream."
"I wouldn't call it exciting that the Queen that looks like my ex-girlfriend wants to chop off my head. She is just as a bitch in my dream as in real life," Blitz says, and is still annoyed.
Then says, "It's also crazy enough that I also end up changing sizes, meet insane characters that don't make a lick of sense, and some that tried to kill me. I'm just glad to finally be out of that place."
"Of course, I never knew it was a dream until the King showed it to me. I'm still rather confused and I woke up to see you," Blitz says.
"I see. It's no wonder you were unconscious for a few days," Stolas says.
He then picks up Blitz and places him on his lap, with one arm wrapped around Blitz's waist.
"And that you had to miss our little randevu the other night," Stolas says.
"Fuck, I knew I forogt something," Blitz says, facepalming his forehead.
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure we can make up for it," Stolas says, in a lustful tone.
Then places his claws on Blitz's cheek and lifts his face up to Stolas. Blitz has a feeling with the lustful expression on Stolas' face that he knows where this is going.
And his question's answer when Stolas says, "Right here and now."
"Uh Stolas, hold on. The others could be back at any time," Blitz says.
"Oh, you don't need to worry. I've already locked the door," Stolas says.
Blitz simply rolls his eyes and says, "Oh fuck it."
And with that Blitz and Stolas give each other a passionate kiss on the lips.
